Effects of Multi-Sensory Stimulation on Apathy Symptoms in Elderly Patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
Background: We aimed to explore the effect of multi-sensory stimulation on apathy symptoms in elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Eighty elderly patients with AD admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University, China from January 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. According to the random number table, they were divided into intervention group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the intervention group was given multi-sensory stimulation based on this nursing. Apathy evaluation scale (AES), Behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) and Quality of Life Scale for dementia patients (QoL-AD) were used to compare the results.
Results: Compared with the control group, the scores of AES and BEHAVE-AD in intervention group were lower (t was -7.312 and 11.88 respectively, P < 0.05), and the scores of QoL-AD in intervention group were significantly higher than those in control group were (t was -15.311, P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Multi-sensory stimulation can relieve apathy symptoms, mental and behavioral symptoms and improve the quality of life of elderly patients with AD, which is worth popularizing in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
