本文是对痴呆症中回忆概念的分析报告，并强调了其作为痴呆症患者治疗干预的用途。在医疗保健文献中没有单一的回忆定义;然而，提供的定义具有相似的组成部分。在讨论回忆时，通常使用“生活回顾”一词，但这两个术语在目标、理论基础和内容上都有很大的不同。这一概念的分析确定回忆是一个过程，发生在阶段，涉及回忆的早期生活事件和个人之间的互动。回忆的前因是年龄，生活的转变，注意力的持续时间，回忆的能力，发声的能力和压力的情况。回忆可以导致积极的心理健康，增强自尊和改善沟通技巧。它还有助于为死亡做准备，增加人与人之间的互动，为未来做准备，并评估过去的生活。回忆疗法广泛用于痴呆症护理，证据表明，当有效使用时，它可以帮助个人保持自我价值感，身份和个性。
This paper is a report of an analysis of the concept of reminiscence in dementia and highlights its uses as a therapeutic intervention used on individuals with dementia. No single definition of reminiscence exists in healthcare literature; however, definitions offered have similar components. The term life review is commonly used when discussing reminiscence; however, both terms are quite different in their goals, theory base and content. This concept analysis identified reminiscence as a process which occurs in stages, involving the recalling of early life events and interaction between individuals. The antecedents of reminiscence are age, life transitions, attention span, ability to recall, ability to vocalise and stressful situations. Reminiscence can lead to positive mental health, enhanced self esteem and improved communication skills. It also facilitates preparation for death, increases interaction between people, prepares for the future and evaluates a past life. Reminiscence therapy is used extensively in dementia care and evidence shows when used effectively it helps individuals retain a sense of self worth, identity and individuality.
