“…RT as a group intervention helps older people build new friendships (Gibson, 2011) and get connected with other people (Mackinlay & Trevitt, 2010). Through sharing their life experiences with other people, older people may realise that they might take the same journey with other people (Liu et al, 2007).…”

“…The process of sharing memories is not only focused on the stories, but also related to the feelings behind the memories, whether positive or negative (Mackinlay & Trevitt, 2010). In relation to negative feelings, the process of sharing memories assists older people to learn from their negative experiences and how these can shape their present life (de Guzman et al, 2009;Mackinlay & Trevitt, 2010;Westerhof & Bohlmeijer, 2014).…”

“…This integration is known as spiritual reminiscence therapy (SRT). Spiritual reminiscence therapy (SRT) is a review of life events or stories that involve people trying to find meaning in their life and their future hopes (Mackinlay & Trevitt, 2010). Although SRT has not been tested in an older Malaysian population, it uses an approach similar to RT, with a specific focus in the content on spirituality.…”

Background This updated Cochrane Review of reminiscence therapy (RT) for dementia was first published in 1998, and last updated in 2005. RT involves the discussion of memories and past experiences with other people using tangible prompts such as photographs or music to evoke memories and stimulate conversation. RT is implemented widely in a range of settings using a variety of formats. Objectives To assess the effects of RT on people living with dementia and their carers, taking into account differences in its implementation, including setting (care home, community) and modality (group, individual). Search methods We searched ALOIS (the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group's Specialized Register) on 6 April 2017 using the search term 'reminiscence.' Selection criteria We included all randomised controlled trials of RT for dementia in which the duration of the intervention was at least four weeks (or six sessions) and that had a 'no treatment' or passive control group. Outcomes of interest were quality of life (QoL), cognition, communication, behaviour, mood and carer outcomes. Data collection and analysis Two authors (LOP and EF) independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Where necessary, we contacted study authors for additional information. We pooled data from all sufficiently similar studies reporting on each outcome. We undertook subgroup analysis by setting (community versus care home) and by modality (individual versus group). We used GRADE methods to assess the overall quality of evidence for each outcome. Main results We included 22 studies involving 1972 people with dementia. Meta-analyses included data from 16 studies (1749 participants). Apart from six studies with risk of selection bias, the overall risk of bias in the studies was low. Overall, moderate quality evidence indicated RT did not have an important effect on QoL immediately after the intervention period compared with no treatment (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.11, 95% confidence interval (CI)-0.12 to 0.33; I 2 = 59%; 8
