本文介绍了一项荟萃分析的结果，以评估不同目标群体和治疗方式的回忆对心理健康的有效性。纳入了15项对照结局研究。总体效应量为0.54，表明回忆对老年人的生活满意度和情绪健康有中度影响。生活回顾对心理健康的影响显著大于简单的回忆。此外，回忆对居住在社区的成年人的影响明显大于居住在养老院或寄宿护理的成年人。没有发现参与者或干预措施的其他特征对缓解效果有影响。它的结论是，一般的回忆，但特别是生活回顾，是潜在的有效方法，提高老年人的心理健康。然而，现在有必要复制明确定义的协议的有效性研究。
This paper presents the results of a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of reminiscence on psychological well-being across different target groups and treatment modalities. Fifteen controlled outcome studies were included. An overall effect size of 0.54 was found, indicating a moderate influence of reminiscence on life-satisfaction and emotional well-being in older adults. Life-review was found to have significantly greater effect on psychological well-being than simple reminiscence. In addition, reminiscence had significantly greater effect on community-dwelling adults than adults living in nursing homes or residential care. Other characteristics of participants or interventions were not found to moderate effects. It is concluded that reminiscence in general, but especially life review, are potentially effective methods for the enhancement of psychological well-being in older adults. However, a replication of effectiveness studies of the well-defined protocols is now warranted.
