ABSTRACT

Reminiscence, as an activity and intervention, is an established approach that has been shown to benefit persons living with cognitive impairment. Working with professionals and persons with mild to moderate cognitive impairment, the investigator designed, conducted, and evaluated outcomes for a reminiscence activity program focusing on Appalachian culture. Appalachian folklore, music, and games were integrated into a six-week activity program. Satisfaction surveys were implemented to determine whether this pilot program should be continued and expanded. Given the outcomes, a model can be shared with organizations interested in implementing this unique approach.

摘要

回忆作为一种活动和干预，是一种既定的方法，已被证明对患有认知障碍的人有益。研究人员与专业人士和轻度至中度认知障碍人士合作，设计、实施和评估了以阿巴拉契亚文化为重点的回忆活动计划的结果。阿巴拉契亚的民俗、音乐和游戏被整合到一个为期六周的活动计划中。实施满意度调查以确定是否应继续和扩大该试点计划。鉴于结果，可以与有兴趣实施这种独特方法的组织共享模型。
