Structured group reminiscence: an intervention for older adults.
نویسنده
چکیده
Group reminiscence is an intervention recommended for care of older adults in structured and unstructured settings. One problem experienced by nurses is how to organize, facilitate, and evaluate reminiscence groups for older people. Hence, there is a need for further research on reminiscence to determine how to use this as an intervention to improve the well-being of older adults. There is also a need for continuing education to provide nurses with education on this intervention for older persons. This article provides an overview of qualitative and quantitative research on group reminiscence and offers a suggested evidence-based protocol for a 6-week group intervention based on this research.
