Abstract
Supporting an elderly person with a neuro-evolutionary disease is a complex task, especially if the person has cognitive problems and lives in a nursing home. Non-drug approaches offer good alternatives to traditional treatment and care. More and more therapies based on theatrical improvisation are being developed to act on psychological health. The aim of this research is to study the effect of participation in theatrical improvisation workshops over a period of 8 weeks on quality of life, self-esteem, depressive symptoms and personal satisfaction in 10 elderly people (Mean = 87.70 years; SD = 2.87 years) with mild cognitive impairment. At the end of the theatre sessions, the participants reported better psychological health. This study provides insights into the development of non-drug mediations for elderly people with neuro-evolutionary diseases.
