“…The pooled data showed a significant difference in the improvement of life satisfaction between the reminiscence therapy and control groups (SMD: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.58). For the remaining two studies ( 28 , 36 ) without sufficient data, both reported significant increases in life satisfaction. Therefore, it could be said that reminiscence therapy plays a significant role in the improvement of life satisfaction in older adults ( Figure 4 ).…”

IntroductionReminiscence therapy has been a high-benefit and low-cost measure of psychosocial intervention for older adults in recent years. It has attracted much attention in the intervention study of older adults without obvious cognitive impairment. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of reminiscence therapy on psychosocial outcomes among older adults without obvious cognitive impairment and analyze the divergences of different intervention programs (form, duration, and setting) on outcomes.MethodsWe searched the commonly used databases and used RevMan 5.4 in the meta-analysis (PROSPERO-ID: CRD42022315237). All eligible trials used the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Effective Public Health Practice Project quality assessment tool to identify the quality and determine the bias risk grade.ResultsTwenty-seven studies were included, involving 1,755 older adults. Meta-analysis showed that reminiscence therapy has a significant effect on both depression and life satisfaction. Group reminiscence played a significant role in improving life satisfaction. Depression symptoms were not affected by the intervention duration (P = 0.06), while life satisfaction was significantly improved after more than 8 weeks of intervention (P < 0.00001). Intervention settings drove differences in depressive symptoms (P = 0.02), and the effect size of the community was larger.ConclusionReminiscence therapy can significantly reduce depressive symptoms and improve life satisfaction. There are different effects of reminiscence therapy in different intervention schemes on psychological outcomes among older adults. More well-designed trials with large sample sizes and long-term follow-ups are necessary to confirm and expand the present results.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=315237, identifier: CRD42022315237.

“…The health team uses the results of examinations for the decision of the clinical conduct that best favors the patient's needs. 20 This is probably one of the reasons that make the process of communication between laboratory/unit, clinical analysis, or any mishap, which impede the transfer of results with responsibility, commitment and technical-scientific competence, in order not to compromise the user's care.…”

Se condujo una revisión sistemática sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones basadas en psicología positiva (IPP) en la promoción de bienestar y calidad de vida y alivio de ansiedad y depresión en adultos mayores. En bases de datos científicas y metabuscadores se seleccionaron estudios que cumplieron los criterios de elegibilidad propuestos; en la selección final se obtuvieron 25 estudios, depurados de 543 registros. Los resultados evidenciaron que, a pesar de un incremento en el uso de las IPP, el número de estudios conducidos en población adulta mayor aún es limitado y gran parte de estos se llevan a cabo en población no clínica sin comorbilidades. Los efectos más frecuentemente reportados incluyen el incremento del bienestar psicológico y subjetivo y el alivio de sintomatología depresiva. Existe una amplia heterogeneidad en los tipos de IPP que se emplean tanto en programas de intervenciones sencillas como multielemento y las principales incluyen gratitud, perdón, optimismo, identificación y uso de fortalezas de carácter y formulación de objetivos. Se proveen sugerencias para investigación futura.
