“…The current study does not show any quantitatively measurable effect of the intervention on quality of life. This result is in line with systematic reviews and analyses about exercises and quality of life in dementia (Holopainen, Siltanen, Pohjanvuori, Mäkisalo-Ropponen, & Okkonen, 2019;Ojagbemi & Akin-Ojagbemi, 2019). It remains unclear if the absence of evidence for exercise improving the quality of life is a matter of a lack of effectiveness or measurability (Holopainen et al, 2019).…”

However, while quality of life is not an outcome defined by Gonçalves et al (2020), in the thematic context, the consortium defined the outcome enjoying the moment.…”

The objective of this multicenter randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a physical activity intervention for institutionalized people with dementia, individualized by capacity and biography. The intervention group (n = 34; age: mean = 86.09 years; 79.40% female; mean Mini-Mental State Examination value = 18.59) participated in a multicomponent training program, which included daily activities, dancing, gardening, and sports/games, twice weekly for 3 months. The control group (n = 29; age: mean = 86.34 years; 75.90% female; mean Mini-Mental State Examination value = 19.90) received standard care. Feasibility was evaluated by means of focus groups and feedback questionnaires. Functional performance (Short Physical Performance Battery and Timed Up and Go Test), activities of daily living, and gait were outcomes for effectiveness. A high adherence rate (80.46%) and uniformly positive feedback indicate that the piloted training program is feasible. The results show preliminary effectiveness on functional performance (Short Physical Performance Battery mean t0 = 3.15; mean t1 = 4.50; p = .006) and gait (e.g., velocity mean t0 = 46.97; mean t1 = 58.04; p = .007).

Objective. To explore the influence of systematic nursing intervention on the life ability and quality of senile dementia patients. Methods. Total of 82 senile dementia patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were divided into two groups according to the random number table, and the nursing intervention was analyzed. 41 patients in the control group were given routine nursing care, and 41 patients in the observation group were given systematic nursing intervention. Patients were assessed cognitively using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA). The Barthel index and SF-36 were used to evaluate the patients’ daily activity function and quality of life. A Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was used to assess mental distress. The Social-Adaptive Function Rating Scale (SAFE) and Social Skills Inventory (SSC) were used to evaluate the patients’ social interaction ability before and after nursing intervention. Nursing satisfaction was distributed to patients in the form of a self-prepared nursing satisfaction questionnaire for scoring. Results. After the nursing intervention, the MoCA scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group P < 0.05 . After the nursing intervention, the Barthel index scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group P < 0.05 . After the nursing intervention, the SF-36 scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group P < 0.05 . After nursing intervention, the SCL-90-R scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group P < 0.05 . After the nursing intervention, the SAFE scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before the nursing intervention, and the safe scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group P < 0.05 . After the nursing intervention, the SSC scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group P < 0.05 . After nursing intervention, the total satisfaction degree of the control group (80.49%) was lower than that of the observation group (97.56%) P < 0.05 . Conclusion. The implementation of systematic nursing intervention is conducive to improve the cognitive function, activity of life, and quality of life of senile dementia patients who have a positive effect, and nursing satisfaction is higher.

“…Important for quality of life is the ability to identify patterns of meaning, and these can be factors related to a social and caring environment. 40 Humor and social support are important for coping with rising demands in life with dementia. 9 The participants in this study did not talk about humor but about meaningful activities in day care in line with activities that supported identity and sense of self as found by Frazer et al 24 There are various forms of day care.…”

Factors Associated with the Quality of Life of People with Dementia and with Quality of Life-Improving Interventions: Scoping Review

Abstract: This scoping review identified a large body of knowledge exploring the factors and interventions associated with the quality of life of people with dementia. The interventions were heterogeneous and the sample sizes small, which is why more research is needed.
