Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on cognitive function and quality of life among Alzheimer disease (AD) patients so as to provide a research basis for clinical treatment and nursing.Methods:From November 2018 to August 2019, we selected 186 AD patients in Department of Neurology and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at Nanhu Branch of China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University as the research objects. All patients were divided into research group and control group with the method of random number table, 93 cases in each group. Patients in control group were given routine nursing and discharge follow-up, and patients in research group were treated MBCT based on routine nursing for two months. We compared the scores of Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD) of patients between two groups at the time of enrollment and two months after intervention.Results:Two groups all completed the intervention and evaluation of this study, and no cases were withdrawn. The total score and dimension scores of QOL-AD of patients in research group were higher than those in control group two months after intervention with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . However, there was no statistical difference in the score of MMSE two months after intervention between two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:A single 8-week MBCT intervention for AD patients can effectively improve the quality of life, but the improvement of patients' cognitive function still needs to be confirmed.
