P2‐363: Development of Cognition and Mood in Participants of the Aktiva‐mci Intervention Training

The Effectiveness of Combining Visual Art Activities and Physical Exercise for Older Adults on Well-Being or Quality of Life and Mood: A Scoping Review

“…Participants had to be older adults who did not participate in regular activities, particularly physical exercise (conducted 2 or 3 times a week for at least 20 min at a time) on a regular basis. Four of the 10 studies included participants who had been diagnosed with cognitive impairment (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale [CDR], score 0.5 or 1.0 on the Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] score 16 and above; Dannhauser et al, 2014; Kang et al, 2010; Tesky et al, 2014; Viola et al, 2011). Four studies included healthy adults with psychological complaints (subjective feelings of loneliness and depression according to participants’ self-reports, reports by health care providers, or based on a score between 1 and 5 on the Geriatric Depression Scale [GDS] or between 3 and 10 on the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory [GAI]; Kamegaya, Araki, Kigure, & Yamaguchi, 2014; McCaffrey, Liehr, Gregersen, & Nishioka, 2011; Pitkala, Routasalo, Kautiainen, & Tilvis, 2009; Rawtaer et al, 2015).…”

“…The outcome measures of well-being or QoL and mood were assessed using different types of measurement. Well-being or QoL outcomes were evaluated in five of the 10 studies using seven different measures, including the Satisfaction in Daily Life (SDL), the Chinese version of the Life Satisfaction Index–A (LSI-A), the Health Survey Short Form questionnaire (SF-12), the Chinese version of the Subjective Happiness Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQoL)–BREF, the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease Evaluation Scale (QoL-AD), and Skala zur Erfassung der Lebenszufriedenheit (LBZ, Quality of life scale; Dannhauser et al, 2014; Kamegaya et al, 2014; Tesky et al, 2014; Tse et al, 2012; Viola et al, 2011). In three of these five studies, participants showed a significant improvement in well-being or QoL (Dannhauser et al, 2014; Kamegaya et al, 2014; Viola et al, 2011).…”

“…Nine studies assessed symptoms of depression using a validated questionnaire (Kamegaya et al, 2014; Kang et al, 2010; McCaffrey et al, 2011; Pitkala et. al., 2009; Rand et al, 2010; Rawtaer et al, 2015; Tesky et al, 2014; Tse et al, 2012; Viola et al, 2011). The most commonly used questionnaire (six out of nine studies) of symptoms of depression was the GDS.…”

“…In three of these five studies, participants showed a significant improvement in well-being or QoL (Dannhauser et al, 2014;Kamegaya et al, 2014;Viola et al, 2011). The other two studies reported no significant differences between intervention group and control group in terms of well-being or QoL (Tesky et al, 2014;Tse et al, 2012).…”

“…Tesky et al (2014) included well-being/QoL and depression outcomes; the two other studies included a measure of depressive symptoms only (Rand et al, 2010;Rawtaer et al, 2015), whereas one study reported only a well-being/QoL outcome (Dannhauser et al, 2014). Tesky et al (2014) investigated the active cognitive stimulation-prevention for elderly people: German: Aktive Kognitive Stimulation -Vorbeugung im Alter-Mild Cognitive Impairment (AKTIVA-MCI) intervention training to improve cognition and mood. There were two groups: (a) cognitive stimulating activities, such as reading, drawing, playing music, or playing chess, and (b) cognitive stimulating activities plus exercise.…”
