Abstract

Introduction: There is a dearth of evidence about the effects of Sonas, a multisensory stimulation on people with dementia (PWD). The main aim of this study was to examine the effects of the Sonas program on anxiety and depression in nursing home (NH) residents with dementia.

Methods: In all, 120 PWD ≥65 years of age from 6 NHs were included in a randomized control trial and were allocated to 1 of 3 groups for 24 weeks: a Sonas program group (n = 48), a reading group (n = 32), and a control group (n = 40). One hundred and five participants completed follow-up assessments. Anxiety and depression were assessed by the Rating Anxiety in Dementia (RAID) scale and the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), respectively. Generalized linear mixed models were estimated to assess trends in the proportion of participants with anxiety (a RAID score ≥11) and depression (a CSDD score ≥10).

Results: No significant reduction in anxiety from baseline to follow-up was observed in any of the groups. Participants in the Sonas group showed a significant reduction in depression from baseline to 12 weeks (p = 0.001) and from baseline to 24 weeks (p = 0.009).

Conclusion: The Sonas program had no effect on severity of anxiety but a reduction in depressive symptoms was found in PWD.

Sonas项目对老年痴呆症患者焦虑和抑郁的影响:一项为期6个月的随机对照试验。

关于Sonas(一种多感官刺激)对痴呆症患者(PWD)的影响，缺乏证据。本研究的主要目的是检查Sonas计划对养老院(NH)痴呆症患者焦虑和抑郁的影响。方法:将来自6个NHs的120名年龄≥65岁的PWD患者纳入随机对照试验，并将其分为3组中的1组，为期24周:Sonas程序组(n = 48)，阅读组(n = 32)和对照组(n = 40)。105名参与者完成了后续评估。焦虑和抑郁分别采用痴呆焦虑评定量表(RAID)和康奈尔痴呆抑郁量表(CSDD)进行评估。估计广义线性混合模型来评估焦虑(RAID评分≥11)和抑郁(CSDD评分≥10)参与者比例的趋势。结果:从基线到随访，在任何一组中都没有观察到焦虑的显著减少。从基线到12周(p = 0.001)和从基线到24周(p = 0.009)， Sonas组的参与者的抑郁症显著减少。结论:Sonas计划对焦虑的严重程度没有影响，但在PWD中发现抑郁症状减轻。
