Effect of Multi-sensory Stimulation Combined with Multi-domain Cognitive Training on Behav-ioral and Psychological Symptom of Dementia Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
Objective To explore the effect of multi-sensory stimulation combined with multi-domain cog-nitive training on behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods 94 AD patients were selected from the neurology ward of a hospital from February to April,2023.They were randomly divided into the experimental group(47 patients)and the control group(47 patients).The control group was given routine nursing care,and the experimental group was given multi-sensory stimulation combined with multi-field cognitive training.Neu-ropsychiatric inventory(NPI),Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory(CMAI)and Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)were used to evaluate and compare the mental behaviors and emotional changes of the two groups before and after the intervention.Results The scores of NPI,CMAI,HAMA and HAMD in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions Multi-sen-sory stimulation combined with multi-field cognitive training can effectively reduce the incidence of agitated behav-iors in AD patients and relieve their negative emotion such as anxiety and depression.
