Effect of Team-based Social Interaction Combined with Cognitive Training on Elderly Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
Objective:To explore the effect of team-based social interaction combined with cognitive training on cognitive function in elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods:A total of 100 elderly patients with AD admitted from August 1,2019 to August 31,2021 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into an observation group and a control group,with 50 cases in each group.The conventional cognitive training was given in the control group and team-based social interaction combined with cognitive training was implemented in the observation group.The cognitive function(MoCA),mental state(SAS and SDS),behavioral and psychological symptoms(BEHAVE-AD)and quality of life(QOL-AD)were compared between the two groups be-fore intervention and after 3 months of intervention.Results:After intervention,the scores of MoCA and QOL-AD in the observation group were higher than those before intervention and than those in the control group(P<0.05).The SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group and than the scores before intervention(P<0.05,P<0.01).After intervention,the scores of BE-HAVE-AD in the observation group were lower than those before intervention and those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Team-based social interaction combined with cognitive training can effectively improve the cognitive function,psychological state,behavioral and psychological symptoms and quality of life in elderly patients with AD.
