Re-activating occupational therapy significantly improved cognitive functions and well-being in geriatric patients. This therapeutic approach offers benefits for hospitalized elderly individuals with cognitive impairment.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Cognitive Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Hospitalization can exacerbate cognitive impairment in geriatric patients.
  • Multimorbid elderly inpatients often experience declines in cognitive function and well-being.
  • Functional rehabilitation alone may not fully address cognitive deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of re-activating occupational therapy on geriatric inpatients.
  • To compare cognitive functions, subjective well-being, affectivity, and social integration between study and control groups.
  • To assess the therapeutic benefits of occupational therapy in a geriatric inpatient setting.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving two groups of multimorbid geriatric inpatients (n=22 each).

Related Experiment Videos

  • One group received re-activating occupational therapy (study group).
  • The control group received a standard functional rehabilitation program.

    • Main Results:

    • The study group showed significant improvement (p < 0.01) in cognitive functioning after 12 and 24 weeks.
    • Subjective well-being also significantly improved in the study group over 24 weeks.
    • No significant changes were reported in the control group for these variables.

    Conclusions:

    • Re-activating occupational therapy demonstrates therapeutic benefits for geriatric patients.
    • This intervention effectively treats cognitive impairment commonly seen in hospitalized elderly individuals.
    • Occupational therapy can enhance cognitive function and subjective well-being in the geriatric population.
