目的:本研究的目的是评估生活回顾(LR)的有效性的基础上,具体的积极事件在非抑郁症老年人参加了积极的老龄化计划。方法:55名老年人被随机分配到实验组或积极控制(AC)组。对实验组进行了6次基于特定积极事件的LR个体训练。AC集团举办了一个媒体讲习班,共六次,重点是学习新闻技巧。前测和后测的措施包括生活满意度,抑郁症状,体验环境作为奖励,和自传体记忆(AM)量表。结果:LR干预降低了抑郁症,提高了生活满意度,增加了特定的记忆。讨论内容:研究结果表明,针对特定事件的AM练习是LR的有效组成部分,可以成为增强积极老龄化计划中情绪健康的有用工具,从而减少抑郁症状。
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of life review (LR) based on specific positive events in non-depressed older adults taking part in an active aging program. Method: Fifty-five older adults were randomly assigned to an experimental group or an active control (AC) group. A six-session individual training of LR based on specific positive events was carried out with the experimental group. The AC group undertook a media workshop of six sessions focused on learning journalistic techniques. Pre-test and post-test measures included life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, experiencing the environment as rewarding, and autobiographical memory (AM) scales. Results: LR intervention decreased depressive symptomatology, improved life satisfaction, and increased specific memories. Discussion: The findings suggest that practice in AM for specific events is an effective component of LR that could be a useful tool in enhancing emotional well-being in active aging programs, thus reducing depressive symptoms.
