A systematic review of multimodal non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive function in older people with dementia in nursing homes
Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Oct 27, 2019
Yorozuya K, et al. - Through a systematic review, researchers sought to examine the impacts, contents, frequency, duration, length, and form of multimodal non-pharmacological interventions (MNPIs) on the global and specific cognitive functions of people with dementia (PWD) in nursing homes (NHs), and to consider what kind of intervention design is most efficient. Findings suggested that MNPIs can improve the global, executive function and memory of PWD in NHs. To strengthen the global and specific cognitive functions of PWD in NHs, it is recommended to incorporate exercise, cognitive learning and daily living activities with at least 3 times a week over at least 8 weeks with at least 30 minutes per session using the integrated method. This systematic review will serve as a valuable resource for NH care practice development.
