Abstract
Abstract Purpose To review the effectiveness of a tailored activity program (TAP) on neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), occupational performance, and quality of life among people with dementia and their caregiver burden. Methods A literature review was completed using the following inclusion criteria: published prior to May 2021 and written in either English or Korean. The following databases were searched Embase, ProQuest, PubMed, and RISS using keywords “tailored activity program” and “dementia.” Seven studies were identified and analyzed. Results The effect size of the increase in quality of life was 0.79, the decrease in caregiver burden was 0.68, the decrease in NPS was 0.62, and the increase in occupational performance was 0.51. There were no publication biases. Conclusions Participation in TAP resulted in decreased NPS, improved occupational performance and quality of life, and decreased caregiver burden. This study presents evidence supporting the active application of TAP for community-dwelling people with dementia.
期刊介绍:
This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
