“…The activity and the principles of this CST-M could mediate significant changes in the cognitions. This result is aligned with the findings from previous studies regarding the effect of CST-M on improving cognitive functions among older people (Woods et al, 2012;Aguirre et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2018;Sarageh et al, 2022). The program provides meaningful and person-centred activities for the participants.…”

“…Findings from the study suggested that the CST-M programme improved most components in the domain of cognitive functions, especially orientations, thinking operation, visuomotor organisation and memory among older people with mild dementia in the institution. The improvement in cognitive functions are aligned with the findings from previous literature regarding the effect of CST on improving cognitive functions among older people (Woods et al, 2012;Aguirre et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2018;Sarageh et al, 2022). It is postulated that the changes in cognitions are results of the enriched environment and sensory stimulations in the activity that may induce hippocampal neurogenesis, an increase in synaptic plasticity and density, an increase in the alpha wave in addition to the decrease of cortisol during engagement in the activities as suggested in the previous study (Carrion et al, 2018;Chalfont et al, 2020).…”

“…Previous randomised controlled studies and meta-analysis of randomised controlled studies indicate that the CST improve cognitive functions (Woods et al, 2012;Aguirre et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2018;Sarageh et al, 2022), Mood (Yamanaka et al, 2013) and quality of life (Yamanaka et al, 2013;Lin et al, 2018) and the effect can be maintained after three months (Lin et al, 2018). In addition, CST could reduce depression among older people with dementia (Sarageh et al, 2022;Alvares-Pereira et al, 2020;Capotosto et al, 2017;Juárez-Cedillo et al, 2020).…”

An older person with dementia often has deterioration in cognitive functions, which may lead to difficulty performing daily activities. One of the best non-pharmacological treatments for dementia is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), developed in the United Kingdom. The aim of the study is to determine the effect the Cognitive Stimulation Therapy – Malaysian version (CST-M) on cognitive functions. The results of this randomised controlled trial indicate a significant difference in cognitive functions among participants in the experimental group. The use of CST-M should be encourage as a standard treatment for older person with dementia in Malaysia. Keywords: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy; Older people; Mild dementia eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022.

Dementia-related cognitive impairment presents challenges to the quality of life of older individuals. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), an effective non-pharmacological intervention developed in the United Kingdom, faces limitations in its applicability to the cultural context of Malaysia. This study aims to culturally adapt and validate CST in Malaysia using the Formative Method for Adapting Psychotherapy (FMAP) model. Culturally tailored activities were developed to meet the preferences and needs of older Malaysians. The findings suggest that the Malaysian version of CST is a feasible and effective intervention for enhancing cognitive function among older individuals with dementia in Malaysia.

“…16 In the process of remembering, 'living in the past' is used as a dynamic adaptation process without this being considered a problem. 17 In this respect, reminiscence therapy should be used to enable older individuals to share their life experiences and thus experience a greater degree of psychological empowerment. 18 Psychiatric nurses, who play an important role in protecting and improving community mental health, should undertake interventions that support on-site ageing while providing geropsychiatric care.…”

Background: Reminiscence therapy is one of various interventions that can be made to protect and improve the mental health of the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of individual reminiscence therapy given during home visits on adaptation difficulties. Method: This was a randomized controlled, single-blind study designed with a pretest-post-test and follow-up pattern. We divided the participants, 65 elderly people living in Isparta, Turkey, by simple randomization into intervention (31) and control (34) groups. Individual reminiscence therapy was applied to the intervention group participants for eight weeks during house visits once a week. The weekly topics of the reminiscence therapy included childhood, business life, married life, old items, holidays, traditional dishes, and songs and movies, and were all culture-specific. No intervention was applied to the control group. Study data were collected by using a Sociodemographic Data Form created by the researchers, the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE), and the Nurses' Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients (NOSGER). Pretest, post-test, and follow-up data were collected at the individuals' homes in face-to-face interviews.Results: After the eight-week course of reminiscence therapy, there was a significant decrease in the ASADE mean score for the intervention group (P = 0.003) and a significant increase for the control group (P < 0.001). Significant increases were also found in the mean NOSGER scores for the intervention (P = 0.039) and control (P < 0.001) groups; however, the score increase was higher for the control than for the intervention group. Also, there was a significant difference in the ASADE (P < 0,001) and NOSGER (P = 0.01) mean scores of the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: This study found that individual reminiscence therapy decreased adaptation difficulties in the elderly.

Abstract: This study suggests that CST and RT could be applied to improve the cognitive function and quality of life for PwD, as well as contribute to the effectiveness of nonpharmacological approaches to PwD with certain types of behavioural problems.
