Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the direct impact of one session of social stimulation on social interactions of people with moderate dementia living in nursing home in comparison of one session without direct social stimulation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

60 people with moderate dementia living in a french nursing homme participated in this study. Residents gave oral consent twice to participate. They were classified in groups of six residents taking into account socio-demographic and medical characteristics. Two experimental conditions were proposed : 1. a social stimulation session (36 residents) and 2. a control group without direct social stimulation (24 residents). Collected socio-demographic and medical characteristics are age, gender, timf of institutionalization, sociocultural level, marital status and diagnostic hypothesis. Before the study, scales and questionnaires were used to assess cognitive status with the Mini Mental State Examination (Folstein et al, 1975); functional abilities with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Lawton and Brody, 1969); depression with the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (Alexopoulos et al, 1988); psychological and behavioural disorders with the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (Cummings et al, 1994); and the quality of life with the Alzheimer's Disease Related Quality of Life (Rabins et al, 1999).

Social interactions are video taped and analyzed in a grid of observation.

The aim of the study is to see if there is an impact on social interactions after just one social stimulation session compared to a control group situation. Expected results are that residents of the social stimulation group will have more social interactions between us than the resident of the control group.

Psychosocial stimulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Intervention consists in a session of social stimulation during about 40 minutes through where the speaker introduced himself to the residents and introduces the residents to each others. The date of the day was done to residents. Social stimulation consists here to an exercise about the four seasons. Residents are asked to mention the 4 seasons and to give all the characteristics they can about each season. Two exercises were proposed: 4 pictures of landscapes and residents were asked to tell which season is represent on the pictures and pictures of some fruits and residents tried to tell in which season we find the fruits. Finally, the psychologist speaks about the "four season" of the compositor Vivaldi and propose to the residents to listen some extracts of each pieces of music.
