Group Therapy

293
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Global population aging increases non-communicable diseases like dementia.
  • Dementia significantly impacts patients physically and psychologically, straining healthcare systems.
  • There is a growing need for innovative healthcare solutions for the elderly population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential of complementary therapies for dementia symptom management and disease progression.
  • To explore the role of Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) as a complementary therapy in dementia care.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of zoomorphic SAR in promoting positive emotions and multisensorial interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on complementary therapies for dementia.
  • Analysis of studies on Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) in elderly care.
  • Examination of the impact of zoomorphic SAR on emotional and sensory engagement.

Main Results:

  • Complementary therapies, including SAR, show promise in managing dementia symptoms.
  • Zoomorphic SAR models elicit positive emotions and multisensorial interaction (sight, hearing, touch).
  • SAR use may help slow disease progression and enhance the quality of life for the elderly.

Conclusions:

  • Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) represent a promising new tool in dementia care.
  • Zoomorphic SAR can provide benefits comparable to animal-assisted therapies.
  • SAR interventions have the potential to improve the overall well-being of individuals with dementia.
