Abstract:
Objective:Based on the principle of neuroplasticity, to explore the effect of square dancing on elderly patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD).Methods:SCD patients in the main urban area of Nanjing were selected in this quasi experimental research from March to September 2022 and divided into experimental group and control group according to whether the subjects were willing to participate in square dance intervention, with 30 cases in each group. The experimental group received 6 months of square dancing intervention, and the control group received routine nursing. The differences of cognition, memory, language, executive ability, daily living ability and anxiety and depression were compared between the two groups.Results:Twenty-seven cases in the experimental group and 28 cases in the control group completed the intervention. After intervention, the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale-15, the Geriatric Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Trail Making Test B were 27.0(26.0, 28.0), 2.0(1.0, 4.0), (4.30 ± 2.04) points and (112.48 ± 25.42) seconds, respectively. Compared with the control group of 26.0 (24.0, 27.0), 4.0 (2.0, 5.8), (5.89 ± 1.45) points and (133.21 ± 32.39) seconds, the differences were statistically significant ( Z = -2.24, -2.72, t = - 2.05, -2.64, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Square dancing can improve the cognitive function of elderly patients with SCD, promote the improvement of memory, language, executive function and daily living ability, and effectively relieve anxiety and depression symptoms.
