Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the effect of nursing interventions on improvement of psychological actions and quality of life of patients with Alzheimer disease. Methods50 patients with senile dementia diagnosed in our hospital were chosen.They were divided into the observation group and the control group with 25 patients in each group.All patients were taken with AD routine nursing care after admission.The observation group was taken with rehabilitation nursing interventions based on AD routine nursing care.The mini-mental state examination (MMSE)and the daily life ability scale (ADL)were used to evaluate the quality of life after nursing intervention. ResultsThe patients' MMSE score in the observation group was significantly higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant.The ADL score of the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant. ConclusionsThe use of integrated care intervention can significantly improve the cognitive function in AD patients,and improve daily living ability and quality of life significantly.
