Abstract

This case study reports the effects of viewing nature photographs with classical music on participants’ tranquility levels among 10 memory care residents living with dementia. This study utilized a pre-/post-design with residents’ rating their tranquility level and a certified Nurse Aid observer rating each resident’s perceived tranquility level both before and after the video intervention using a Tranquility Scale. Statistical analyses suggested that residents’ tranquility levels from both residents’ and staff’s perspectives showed significant improvement after the intervention compared to their baseline. These findings are discussed in relation to the literature on nature-based and music therapies. We also offer practical implications for recreational therapists and memory care workers. 
以自然为基础的视频和古典音乐对痴呆症患者的记忆护理安宁的影响
本案例研究报告了在10名患有痴呆症的记忆护理居民中,观看自然照片和古典音乐对参与者宁静水平的影响。本研究采用了一种事前/事后设计,让居民对他们的宁静水平进行评分,并由一名经过认证的护士援助观察员使用宁静量表对每个居民在视频干预前后的感知宁静水平进行评分。统计分析表明,与基线相比,干预后居民和工作人员的安宁水平都有显著改善。这些发现与自然疗法和音乐疗法相关的文献进行了讨论。我们也为娱乐治疗师和记忆护理工作者提供了实际的启示。
