Brief Summary

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

In this study titled "Psychological Well-Being and Awareness in the Elderly: The Effect of Reminiscence Therapy", patients will be randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. No intervention will be made to the patients in the control group. Reminiscence therapy will be applied to the patients in the experimental group. Participants will be asked to fill out the scale forms after accepting to participate in the study and obtaining their consent. In addition, after the reminiscence therapy is completed, the experimental and control groups will be asked to fill out the post-test forms.

The following questions will be answered in the study;

* Does reminiscence therapy affect the psychological well-being levels of the elderly?
* Does reminiscence therapy affect the awareness levels of the elderly?

Detailed Description

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

With the aging society in the world and in our country, there is a great need for the development of nursing interventions that will improve and sustain the health and quality of life of the elderly, who are increasingly included in the service area of nurses. It is very important for nurses to perform non-pharmacological practices, which are among their independent functions, not only for the patient but also for their own professional satisfaction. In these services, complementary therapies related to strengthening the personal resources of elderly individuals and ensuring their correct use are important. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of reminiscence therapy applied to elderly individuals on their psychological well-being and awareness levels. In this study titled "Psychological Well-being and Awareness in the Elderly: The Effect of Reminiscence Therapy", patients will be randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. No intervention will be made to the patients in the control group. Reminiscence therapy will be applied to the patients in the experimental group. Participants will be asked to fill out the scale forms after accepting to participate in the study and obtaining their consent. In addition, after the end of the reminiscence therapy, the experimental and control groups will be asked to fill out the final test forms.

The following questions will be answered in the research;

* Does reminiscence therapy affect the psychological well-being levels of the elderly?
* Does reminiscence therapy affect the awareness levels of the elderly?
