“…Two articles ( Johnston and Terp, 2015 ; Couture et al, 2020 ) mention this type of therapy and what it offers to the person with CI and caregivers, often their partners. It must be assumed that when a partner in a couple is diagnosed with CI, it can be frustrating and disappointing for both partners, as their roles will change, communication will become more difficult, and shared pleasant moments will be harder to find ( Johnston and Terp, 2015 ; Couture et al, 2020 ). Art can offer them a way to have quality time together and to share their thoughts and emotions ( Couture et al, 2020 ) or create something together ( García Cano, 2018 ; Mondro et al, 2020 ).…”

The activity can help them regain a social life as they spend time with other people in a similar situation, making them feel understood and even finishing the intervention acting like a group of friends or becoming friends ( García Cano, 2018 ).…”

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Museums and cultural institutions are increasingly striving to respond to the interests and needs of the society that hosts them. This means, apart from other actions, that these institutions must be involved in the health and wellbeing of society, and the creation of cultural activities aimed at people with cognitive impairment, a group of individuals that is growing worldwide due to the aging of society and the increasing prevalence of dementia. The involved sectors are aware of the potential and benefits of activities for this population, even though there is much research to be conducted. To date, no systematic review has focused on the benefits of cultural activities for cognitively impaired people. This study aimed to explore the benefits of different modalities of cultural activities with evidence from 145 studies from various databases, which met the inclusion criteria. Significant improvements in general cognition, quality of life (QoL), emotional wellbeing, socialization, and communication were generally reported after interventions, with a reduction in depression symptoms. There was not enough evidence to prove memory, language, or daily functioning improvements attributable to cultural interventions. There were no significant reductions reported in apathy, sadness, agitation, or anxiety.

La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) se conforma de un grupo de trastornos de progresión de la memoria principalmente, pero con afecciones en otras funciones cognitivas que llevan a un declive funcional que resta autonomía de forma progresiva en las personas que la padecen. Desde el diagnóstico de Alzheimer en el adulto mayor, el cuidado se ve explícito, iniciando una serie de cambios en la familia, las cuales van desde el asumir un nuevo rol, hasta transiciones emocionales y económicas. El cuidador difícilmente es atendido, la mayoría de las estrategias de cuidado van orientadas en capacitar al cuidador para el cuidado. Existen varias técnicas no farmacológicas como la arteterapia, sin embargo, se orientan en el paciente que padece la enfermedad no en el cuidador. La arteterapia puede ser implementada por el personal de enfermería a fin de potenciar la comunicación y expresión de las emociones de las personas cuidadoras, por ello el objetivo es proponer una intervención de enfermería basada en arteterapia para cuidadores de adultos mayores con Alzheimer.
