Abstract

Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) was found to significantly improve cognitive function and quality of life (QOL) in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia in the UK. However, indigenous research on older adults with dementia in Taiwan is scarce. Therefore, this study developed and investigated the effects of a Taiwan version of group CST (CST-T) through a quasi-experimental trial. Excluding the dropouts, there were 13 experimental participants (M = 78.9 ± 9.0) and 13 control participants (77.9 ± 5.6). The results indicated significant improvements in cognitive function, QOL, and daily life functioning in the experimental group compared with the control group, and these effects remained evident at a 3-month follow-up.

台湾改编的团体认知刺激疗法计划对轻度至中度痴呆症的影响：一项准实验性试验。

英国研究发现，认知刺激疗法（CST）可显著改善轻度至中度痴呆症患者的认知功能和生活质量（QOL）。然而，针对台湾老年痴呆症患者的本土研究却很少。因此，本研究通过一项准实验性试验，开发并调查了台湾版团体 CST（CST-T）的效果。除去辍学者，共有 13 名实验参与者（M = 78.9 ± 9.0）和 13 名对照参与者（77.9 ± 5.6）。结果表明，与对照组相比，实验组在认知功能、QOL和日常生活功能方面均有明显改善，这些效果在3个月的随访中依然明显。
