“…The trial met some challenges and the research team made key observations that helped them to better understand the results. 14 One of the limitations was the short follow-up period, which consisted of 8 weeks and did not allow for any evidence regarding long-term effects of CST. In addition, none of the staff-rated scales showed any significant benefits (behavior, mood, communication).…”

Cognitive stimulation therapy is a psychological treatment for people with mild and moderate dementia. It is offered in both a group and individual format showing various benefits on cognitive functioning, quality of life, and quality of the caregiving relationship. The intervention provides a fun and meaningful approach toward staying mentally stimulated and engaged. The World Alzheimer's Report 2014 recommends cognitive stimulation therapy to be offered routinely to people with dementia around the world. In the future, cognitive stimulation therapy based approaches will hopefully grow and be made available to people who want and need it the most.

Purpose: This study aims to specify the effects of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy based on Roy's adaptation model (RAM) on Alzheimer's patients' coping and adaptation skills, cognitive functions, and quality of life (QOL).Design and methods: This is an experimental and randomized controlled trial.Patients in the experimental group received cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) based on RAM. Findings:The cognitive function level of the experimental group was found to be higher than that of the control group at the end of the measurements (performed in the 7th week); the difference was found to be statistically significant (P < .05).In the experimental group, dimensions of troubleshooting and focusing, making physical decisions, attention processing, systematizing, learning, and establishing relationships were found to be better than those of the control group after the application, and the difference was found to be statistically significant (P < .05).However, after the application, QOL of the experimental group was found to be better than that of the control group following the measurements; the difference was found to be statistically significant (P < .05).Practice implications: Psychiatric nurses should evaluate the patients using Standardize Mini-Mental Test Examination before applying RAM-based CST, and they should apply CST to early-and mid-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients at the end of the evaluation and work with groups consisting of six persons at most. Since the cognitive functions of individuals with AD decline from the first stage, coping-adaptation, and QOL levels will also be affected, so it is recommended to evaluate the cognitive functions, coping-adjustment and QOL levels of individuals before applying RAM-based CST. Trial registration number: NCT02229474
