Abstract

|
|
The aim of this study was to identify the effects of cognitive stimulation therapy on dementia patients living in the community.
This was a randomized experimental study where dementia patients were sorted into two groups of 20, with one group being the experimental group and the other being the control. The program were performed for 45~60 min each time, twice a week and 14 times in total. Before the experiment, the homogeneity of the two groups was verified, and cognitive functions were evaluated both before and after the experiment.
Both groups showed significant improvements in cognitive function. There was no statistically significant difference between the cognitive function score changes of the groups. However, on a sub-item level, the experimental group showed greater changes than the control group.
In conclusion, this study has verified that cognitive stimulation therapy can bring about improvements in cognitive function in dementia patients in the community. In the future, cognitive stimulation therapy program presented in this study will be actively utilized in the community.
