Digital Reminiscence Therapy for Alzheimer's in Institutionalized People

The intervention for the experimental group aims to enhance the psychological well-being of institutionalized seniors with Alzheimer's through a digital and interactive reminiscence therapy program. It begins with selecting participants based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by developing personalized digital profiles that include photographs, music, videos, and life anecdotes to evoke emotional memories. Care staff receive training in using the digital software and reminiscence techniques. The core intervention consists of digital reminiscence sessions held twice a week for eight weeks, lasting about 60 minutes each, featuring multimedia content to encourage discussion and memory sharing. Interactive activities foster active participation, with facilitators promoting emotional expression and connection among participants, creating a supportive environment that stimulates cognitive function and reduces isolation.
