机构老年人脑衰老焦虑状况的干预研究——以上海市D、M福利院健脑操项目为例

An Intervention Study on the Aging Anxiety of Elderly People about Alzheimer's Disease in Nursing Institution:Taking the “Brain Gym” Program of Shanghai D and M Welfare Institute as an Example

2015年,中国的阿尔茨海默病患者有950万人,居世界第一,养老机构中的很多老年人对脑衰老感到焦虑。通过问卷调查了解老年人脑衰老焦虑程度,结合认知行为治疗理论与有关文献设计"健脑操"干预方案,并在D、M福利院中招募符合条件且自愿参加的38位老年人作为研究对象,将其随机分成干预组和对照组,对干预组进行8次干预。研究结果表明:约四成老年人担心自己会患阿尔茨海默病;老年人大脑健康知识储备少;"健脑操"可以转变小组成员的不合理观念,增强预防脑衰老疾病的能力,降低脑衰老焦虑感;"健脑操"干预方案符合老年人的实际需求,可以将此项目推广到其他福利院、社区,让更多老年人受益。

In 2015, there were 9.5 million people with Alzheimer＇s disease in China, ranking first in the world. Many elderly people in nursing institutions are anxious about brain aging. This research used the questionnaire survey to understand the level of anxiety of the Alzheimer＇s disease among old people. Combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and relevant literature, a ＂brain gym＂ intervention program is designed. 38 eligible members from D and M welfare institute who are willing to participate are recruited as research targets. They are randomly assigned to intervention group and the control group, and 8 times of intervention are given to the intervention group. The result of research shows that, First of all, about 40 percent of the elderly are worded about Alzheimer＇s disease. Secondly, the elderly have little knowledge of brain health knowledge. Thirdly, the intervention effect showed the possibility of changing unreasonable ideas, adopting healthy behaviors and reducing anxiety about Alzheimer＇s disease. Finally, the intervention program of ＂Brain Gym＂ corresponds to the actual needs of the elderly, and can be extended to other welfare institutions and communities in the future, so as to benefit more elderly people.
