Brief summary: Aim:

The aim of this study is to reveal the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation therapy on activities of daily living, depression and life satisfaction in individuals with mild dementia living in nursing homes.

Detailed description: This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between 30 March-27 May 2022, with a total of 60 individuals (30 in control and 30 in intervention group) living in Adana and Seyhan Nursing Home Elderly Care and Rehabilitation Centers. The data of the study were collected with the Personal Information Form based on the literature, the Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT), the Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index, the Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale, the Cornell Dementia in Dementia Scale (CDS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. In order to conduct the study, the approval of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee, written institutional permission and written permission from the participants were obtained. The individuals in the intervention group started with the introduction and pre-test application in the first week and applied CST for 45 minutes twice a week for the next 7 weeks, while the individuals in the control group started with the introduction and pre-test application in the first week and performed two sessions for one week and two days and continued their daily lives in the following weeks. The study was terminated in 9 weeks by applying the post-test to both groups in the last week. Due to the 3-month follow-up study, measurements will be made for the last time in September with the SMMT, BADL, IADL, CDS and LDL measurement tools.After being informed about the study, all individuals with dementia were given written informed consent form.
