Detailed Description

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

This study aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of ROMA therapy( Reminiscence, Reality Orientation, Music, and Art) on improving cognitive function, behavioral and psychological symptoms in demented population. A total of 60 patients with mild to moderate dementia will be recruited and randomly assigned to two groups: experimental group and control group. The experimental group will undergo ROMA therapy with a 60 minute per week for eight weeks. The control group will receive three times ROMA therapy after completing outcome measurements. Two groups will receive questionnaire interview at pre-test, post-test, and at 4 weeks after intervention. The measurements comprises: Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire(SPMSQ), Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia(CSDD),and Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire(NPI-Q). By identifying the effectiveness of ROMA therapy, suitable intervention can be suggested for those demented population to improve cognitive function, behavioral and psychological symptoms.
