ABSTRACT Many archives provide reminiscence-based services for people with dementia. Considering that there are currently 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, a figure which is expected to rise to over 1 million by 2020, makes these services extremely significant because of the impact they can have on an individual with dementia. Through exploring and answering the questions: what is the suitability of archives providing reminiscence-based services and what is the impact of such services, its value can be understood. By collecting and analysing questionnaire and interview responses, an understanding of the suitability of the services was gained. This qualitative methodology demonstrated that archives, through their association as memory institutions, the material they contain, and the physical space, all provide evidence of its suitability. To assess the impact of the services, evaluation is necessary, something that is not currently carried out, partly due to the lack of an appropriate framework being in place. By developing and adapting the available frameworks from the wider arts and health literature an appropriate framework has been suggested in this study.

档案馆为痴呆症患者提供的基于回忆的服务的影响

摘要 许多档案馆为痴呆症患者提供基于回忆的服务。考虑到英国目前有 850,000 名痴呆症患者，预计到 2020 年这一数字将超过 100 万，因此这些服务非常重要，因为它们可能对痴呆症患者产生影响。通过探索和回答档案馆提供基于回忆的服务的适用性以及此类服务的影响是什么，可以理解其价值。通过收集和分析问卷和访谈答复，了解服务的适用性。这种定性的方法表明，档案馆通过它们作为记忆机构的关联、它们所包含的材料和物理空间，都提供了其适用性的证据。为了评估服务的影响，评估是必要的，目前还没有进行，部分原因是缺乏适当的框架。通过开发和调整来自更广泛的艺术和健康文献的可用框架，本研究提出了一个合适的框架。
