Abstract

Objectives: To explore the effectiveness of an adapted 14-week cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) protocol on psychoaffective symptoms and quality of life (QOL) for people living with mild dementia.

Method: The sample for this pragmatic study were people with dementia who underwent CST between May 2016 and September 2022 during routine healthcare. Measures of participants' psychoaffective symptoms and QOL were administered before CST ('baseline') and following CST ('post-intervention'). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to measure anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and their sum score (referred to as HADS-total). The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD) scale was used to measure participants' quality of life (both patient and carer ratings were available). Change in these outcomes was assessed using linear mixed models.

Results: Two hundred and twenty-five participants attended ≥1 session of adapted CST (84% attended at least 9/14 sessions, considered 'high' adherence). The mean change [95% confidence interval] in HADS-total scores indicated improvement (-0.9; [-1.9, -0.0]). Mean scores on the other outcomes showed neither improvement nor worsening.

Conclusion: Overall, this pragmatic study shows that an adapted 14-week face-to-face CST protocol is effective in improving mental health in people with mild dementia and has the potential to be widely implemented within routine healthcare.

为期 14 周的认知刺激疗法对轻度痴呆症的疗效:利用日常收集的临床数据进行的实用性研究结果。
目的探讨经过调整的 14 周认知刺激疗法(CST)方案对轻度痴呆症患者的心理情感症状和生活质量(QOL)的影响:这项实用性研究的样本是2016年5月至2022年9月期间在常规医疗保健过程中接受CST治疗的痴呆症患者。在进行 CST 前("基线")和 CST 后("干预后")对参与者的心理情感症状和 QOL 进行测量。医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)用于测量焦虑症状、抑郁症状及其总分(简称 HADS-总分)。生活质量-阿尔茨海默病(QOL-AD)量表用于测量参与者的生活质量(患者和护理者均可评分)。这些结果的变化采用线性混合模型进行评估:225 名参与者参加了≥1 次适应性 CST 治疗(84% 的参与者至少参加了 9/14 次治疗,被视为 "高 "坚持率)。HADS总分的平均变化[95%置信区间]显示有所改善(-0.9;[-1.9,-0.0])。其他结果的平均得分既没有改善,也没有恶化:总之,这项实用性研究表明,经过调整的 14 周面对面 CST 方案能够有效改善轻度痴呆症患者的心理健康,并有可能在常规医疗保健中广泛实施。

期刊介绍: Aging & Mental Health provides a leading international forum for the rapidly expanding field which investigates the relationship between the aging process and mental health. The journal addresses the mental changes associated with normal and abnormal or pathological aging, as well as the psychological and psychiatric problems of the aging population. The journal also has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary and innovative approaches that explore new topics and methods. Aging & Mental Health covers the biological, psychological and social aspects of aging as they relate to mental health. In particular it encourages an integrated approach for examining various biopsychosocial processes and etiological factors associated with psychological changes in the elderly. It also emphasizes the various strategies, therapies and services which may be directed at improving the mental health of the elderly and their families. In this way the journal promotes a strong alliance among the theoretical, experimental and applied sciences across a range of issues affecting mental health and aging. The emphasis of the journal is on rigorous quantitative, and qualitative, research and, high quality innovative studies on emerging topics.
