Abstract

Introduction: The promotion of the health status of the ELDERLY PEOPLE as a vulnerable group is of great importance. LONELINESS is one of the most common complaints of the elderly that can have serious outcomes over their mental health. The present study aimed at determining the effect of group REMINISCENCE therapy on LONELINESS and SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING in the elderly residents of Kahrizak Nursing Home, Tehran, Iran.Methods: The present non-randomized, clinical trial was conducted on 83 elderly residents of Kahrizak Nursing Home who were eligible to participate in the current study in 2017. The subjects were non-randomly selected and divided into two groups of experimental and control. The control group received no intervention; while the experimental group underwent a 6-session REMINISCENCE therapy according to the Watt and Cepplize protocol. The data collection tools were the demographic questionnaire and the Paloutzian and Ellison SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING scale, which the content validity and internal reliability of the later scale was confirmed in previous Iranian studies (Cronbach's alpha = 92%). The Russell LONELINESS questionnaire with the confirmed content validity and internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 78%) was also used. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics was used to measure central indices and process data scattering using the frequency distribution tables. Analytical statistics was used to test the hypothesis of the research with the help of independent t test, pairedsamples t test, Chi-square, the Fisher exact test, etc. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 24. Results: The results of the current study showed a significant statistical relationship in the demographic variables between the both groups, except for the variable of life situation of the spouse (P=0.385). The result of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the variables of LONELINESS (P=0.335) and SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING (P=0.385) had significant effect on LONELINESS (P<0.001) before intervention, while SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING influenced the LONELINESS (P=0.054) after the intervention. Conclusions: The results of the current study showed a clear relationship between the effect of REMINISCENCE therapy on LONELINESS and SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING in the ELDERLY PEOPLE. Based on the results of the current study, memory retrieval can be used as a simple, easy, inexpensive, and applicable therapeutic approach in all therapeutic programs and healthcare centers for the ELDERLY PEOPLE. This approach is welcomed by the ELDERLY PEOPLE as well as their families and the healthcare team members.
