Interventions Residents of the nursing homes where the study took place were informed about the research The SMMSE was administered to individuals who expressed interest in taking part
Application of pre-tests OHQ-S DJGLS SWLS and SCL-90-R were applied to a total of 80 individuals in both nursing homes who met the study inclusion criteria
Selection of the games to be included in the application One nursing home was allocated as the intervention group to minimize potential interaction between the groups while the other was designated as the control group During two sessions 40 individuals in the intervention group were introduced to 15 games Researchers conducted these sessions and provided participants with instructions and rules for the games Then they were asked to rate the games from 1 to 10 In this form the elderly individuals evaluated the games by determining the minimum 1 and maximum 10 points according to their interest and willingness to play Thus it was ensured that individuals freely choose the games they want to play As a result bingo matching pairs word challenge and hot-cold games which received the highest scores from the participants were selected to be played
Preparing the playground and organizing the groups For the elderly to play games a room on the ground floor of the institution with a sun-drenched spacious sliding door opening to the garden was preferred Five groups of 8 people were formed for the games These groups were determined according to their wishes taking into account the available hours of the elderly individuals When one group completed the games 15-20 minute breaks were given for that group to leave the room and for the other group to gather and prepare for the games
Playing games Participants in the intervention group engaged in bingo matching pairs word challenges and hot-and-cold games organized into groups of eight individuals They adhered to the game instructions and participated in sessions twice a week for 2 months totalling 16 sessions The groups were formed by the requests of the participants considering their available time In each session all individuals in the group played all four games so one individual played 64 games in a total of 16 sessions Sessions are planned to last 45 minutes
Application of posttests Individuals in the groups underwent administration of OHQ-S DJGLS SWLS and SCL-90-R at two consecutive intervals 1 week post-test and 1 month follow-up-test after the conclusion of the game
