Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects and feasibility of group reminiscence therapy on improving the negative emotions of the elderly inpension sectors.Methods:From April to June 2019, using convenient sampling method, a total of 19 elderly people who volunteered and met the selection criteria at two pension sectors in Beijing were selected to participate in a four-week group reminiscence therapy. The scores of the negative emotions, pulse rate changes, behavior changes, and facial photo changes of each subject before and after the intervention were compared, and the relationship between the changes in the negative emotion score and the number of participations was analyzed to evaluate the intervention effect.Results:After intervention, the elderly negative emotion scale score increased and the pulse rate increased, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before the intervention ( P<0.01) .After the intervention, 15 of the 16 subjects showed observable facial expression changes, and the expression changes after each intervention were different. According to the caregiver's feedback, compared with that before the intervention, the study subjects had different degrees of positive behavioral changes after the intervention. There was no correlation between the change of negative emotion score and the times of participation in the elderly ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Group reminiscence therapy can significantly improve the negative emotions of elderly people in nursing homes, and has a positive effect on emotional mobilization, which can be used as a normalizing intervention for elderly people to intervene in mental health in nursing homes.
