Study On The Group Intervention Process Of Improving Cognitive Ability Of The Elderly With Mild Dementia

With the release of the results of China’s seventh population census,the aging problem in China is imminent,and the aging process is accelerating.With the aging problem,various diseases of the elderly are increasingly serious.As one of the diseases with the highest prevalence in the elderly population,dementia has gradually become the focus of social attention in recent years.At present,there is still no drug for the radical cure of dementia in the world,and suppressive drugs often carry a series of side effects.Under such conditions,it is very important to use non-drug therapy.Among the three stages of mild,moderate and severe,the mild stage is often ignored because of the mild symptoms,mistook it as a normal phenomenon of aging,and missed the best time for non-drug treatment and intervention.And just according to existing studies,mild stage of intervention for delaying dementia has an incomparable effect in other stages.Therefore,the use of non-drug therapy to intervene in the mild stage of dementia in the elderly has attracted the attention of many scholars,how to use non-drug therapy for effective intervention has become a hot topic widely discussed in the academic community.Through the intervention of social work practice,this study used to develop the art of non-drug auxiliary therapy group,in the form of the mild dementia old man’s cognitive ability to promote the corresponding intervention,so as to help the old man form the cognitive exercise habit and interests,reduce the speed of the decline of cognitive function and symptoms,reduce the unstable mood and pathological behavior,The purpose of forming a healthy old age life.In this study,7 elderly persons with mild dementia were selected from K Nursing Home in N City through questionnaire survey,and they were measured and understood by using MMSE and other scales combined with semi-structured interview and observation methods.It was found that these old people had five aspects of cognitive decline,such as memory and recall ability,as well as emotional and pathological behavior problems,and their cognitive needs were clarified through analysis.To solve these problems and needs,the researchers in the social learning theory,activity theory and edge Angle,under the guidance of in the form of six arts and auxiliary therapy group intervention,combined with music therapy,drawing therapy and non-drug treatment methods,such as memorial therapy and the five senses training and functional training way for the elderly to intervene.In the group process,problems were found and adjusted in time,and risks were solved in time,so the group goals were successfully completed in each section.After the end of the group,the scale and interview were used for comparison and evaluation of the front and back to obtain effective feedback.The results of the study showed that the intervention of non-drug therapy on mild dementia had a positive effect at first.Through the comparison of pre and posttests,it was found that the cognitive ability of 7 group members had been improved to varying degrees.Secondly,group work intervention of mild dementia has a unique integration advantage,and the combination of multiple therapy intervention mode has a positive impact on mild dementia.Most scholars rely on a single therapy for intervention,and researchers have proved that the use of group work can effectively integrate a variety of non-drug therapies and various training methods,with unique compatibility and integration advantages.In addition,the mode of combining multiple therapies can improve the elderly’s interest and learning motivation more than the single therapy,so as to achieve better group goals.Finally,through analyzing problems and adjust the process of group,think for mild dementia old man’s intervention is the key to improve the old man’s self-efficacy and avoid frustration,the old man in the process of intervention is most suitable for in full confidence and absorbing and learning self-efficacy,while produce frustration will gradually deviate from the team goal,therefore is very important to encourage and advantage of the group members.By reflecting on this study,the researchers have raised some constructive suggestions from the level of caregivers,the level of individuals and the level of group intervention.At the same time,the deficiencies in the three aspects of group intervention have been acknowledged,providing a reference for the future intervention of the cognitive ability of the elderly with mild dementia.
