The use of reminiscence therapy as an important psycho-social intervention in long-term hospital care

Original language description

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of reminiscence therapy on selected indicators of health and quality of life of hospitalized older adults. THEORETICAL BASE: The study was based on the emphasis on health resources rather than on illness as described in the concept of salutogenesis. It also meets the person centered approach by Kitwood, where memories and life stories play an important role. METHODS: Quasi-experimental research design was used to compare data on subjective health status, activities of daily living, depression, cognitive functions and quality of life of hospitalised patients. The differences between the intervention and control groups and the pre-and post-intervention data were assessed. The intensive group and individual reminiscence activities were applied with each member of intervention group for 6 weeks. OUTCOMES: Significant differences between intervention and control groups were shown in the majority of measured values before and after intervention. Reminiscence therapy contributed significantly to the improvement of self-sufficiency, cognition, quality of life and subjective health status. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: Results showed the meaning of creative, person-centred social work in-hospital and importance of multidisciplinary collaboration. Reminiscence can be used as a non-pharmacologic therapeutic method, which can contribute to patients´ health and improve their discharge from hospital. © 2021, Czech Association of Educators in Social Work.
