Effect of Reminiscence Therapy on Self Esteem: A Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Reminiscence therapy, sometimes referred to as psychological interventions in dementia patients, helps persons with dementia recall past experiences to enhance their cognitive, emotional, and general well-being. Reminiscence treatment helped dementia patients with their quality of life, cognitive function, and depressed and neuropsychiatric symptoms. A good non-pharmacological method for older adults to boost self-esteem may be remembered therapy.We systematically searched Systematic review of eight electronic academic databases from January 2012 to August 2022 was performed. The PRISMA standards were followed for conducting a systematic literature review. Six databases were systematically explored for this investigation. The requirements for inclusion included being an elderly patient, using applied reminiscence therapy, participating in randomized trials or quasi-experimental investigations, and having the research published in English. The eligibility requirements were met by a total of six studies with 2070 participants. Results showed that group recollection therapy greatly raised self-esteem in the aggregate. In nursing homes, reminiscence groups could promote elders' social interactions with one another and develop into members' support networks. A valuable non-pharmacological intervention for elderly adults residing in care facilities or other long-term care facilities is reminiscence therapy. For next research, a standardised recollection treatment procedure may be required.
