Abstract:
Objective:To study effects of Orff rhythm-beat-tap training on positive emotions in elderly patients with mild dementia.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 72 elderly patients with mild dementia who were treated in the Third People's Hospital of Huzhou from August 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects and they were divided into two groups using the simple random sampling method. After the start of the study, 2 cases dropped out because of failure to persist in training, 1 case dropped out because of transfer during hospitalization and 1 case dropped out because of aggravation of the disease and changing drugs. A total of 68 cases were included in the study, including 33 cases in the intervention group and 35 cases in the control group. The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group received 12-week Orff rhythm-beat-tap training on this basis. The scores of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) , Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES) and Dementia Mood Assessment Scale (DMAS) were evaluated before and after the intervention.Results:The score of positive emotion after intervention in the intervention group was (31.58±1.87) , higher than (26.66±2.93) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.297, P<0.01) . After intervention, the score of negative emotion of the intervention group was (21.97±2.30) , the score of apathy was (44.88±5.22) , and the score of dementia mood was (23.18±4.33) , which were lower than (23.80±3.94) , (51.91±7.49) and (26.09±6.20) of the control group, and there were statistically significant differences in scores between the two groups ( t=-2.356, -4.514, -2.225; P<0.05) . Conclusions:Orff rhythm-beat-tap training is suitable for elderly patients with mild dementia, which can effectively enhance positive emotional experience of patients, improve apathy and optimize mood.
