Brief Summary:
The concept of cognitive stimulation in AD is one of the most popular approaches Cognitive Stimulation Therapy CST is stated to be evidence-based best practice with robust clinical trials administered according to specific guidelines for individuals with mild to moderate dementia In this study it was aimed to investigate the effects of CST application on the levels of apathy loneliness anxiety and daily living activities in elderly individuals with Alzheimers disease
This research was planned in an experimental research design with a single center and pretest posttest control group The research was planned to be carried out between January 2023 and June 202 at the Moral House of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Department of Disabled and Health Services Introductory Information Form Standardized Mini-Mental Test Geriatric Anxiety Scale Apathy Rating Scale Loneliness Scale and Functional Disability in Dementia Scale will be used in the research CST will be administered by a researcher trained in therapy 2 days a week for a total of 14 sessions of 45-50 minutes There will be a pre-test before the application an intermediate test right after the application and a post-test three months later Research data will be evaluated in SPSS 250 New York package program

Detailed Description:
Alzheimers Disease is an insidious onset and slowly progressive disease characterized by the presence of cognitive behavioral and general dysfunction Among the neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms seen in Alzheimers patients apathy is the most common symptom It is also followed by depression aggression anxiety and sleep disorders Behavioral and psychological symptoms BPSD affect up to 90 of people with dementia during the illness Therefore it brings great difficulties to both patients and their caregivers and causes low quality of life In addition the inability to treat the disease completely worsens this situation Considering the pharmacological treatment of psychological symptoms such as apathy anxiety depression in AD individuals the existence of adverse side effects increased mortality limited drug efficacy relatively high cost and the inability to effectively treat some of the most distressing behaviors it is recommended to give priority to non-pharmacological interventions
The concept of cognitive stimulation in AD is one of the most popular approaches It is stated that Cognitive Stimulation Therapy CST is the best evidence-based practice with robust clinical trials applied according to a specific guideline for individuals with mild and moderate dementia In addition CST is the only intervention recommended by the UKs National Institute for Clinical Excellence NICE to promote cognition independence and well-being for people with mild to moderate dementia It has been determined that CST has many effects on individuals with Alzheimers disease However there are different results in studies on the effectiveness of cognitive intervention strategies aimed at reducing cognitive functions behavioral and psychiatric symptoms To enable the conversion of CST into routine clinical practice practice research to support the standardization and generalization of cognitive stimulation therapy planned for patients with AD and its impact on improving neuropsychiatric symptoms and daily living skills requires further research In addition the absence of a widely used standard guideline for pharmacological methods for patients with AD in our country reveals that the planned study will contribute to practice It has been confirmed by many studies that CST applied to individuals with AD contributes to the strengthening of cognitive psychological and social aspects but there are few studies applied by nurses It is noteworthy that the studies on the CST program applied by nurses in our country are limited Therefore the need for more clinical studies is emphasized by nurses to build and disseminate knowledge in this area as the intervention has been little studied In addition the absence of a widely used standard guideline for pharmacological methods for patients with AD in our country reveals that the planned study will contribute to practice In this study it is aimed to investigate the effect of CST application on the levels of apathy loneliness anxiety and daily living activities in elderly individuals diagnosed with Alzheimers
