摘要：

Aim: To examine the effects of life review on daily activities, social participation, outlook on life, and perceptions of living in a nursing home measured by life satisfaction and quality of life in older adults. Method: The study design was a two-phase quasi-experimental pre-post-tests including development and testing of a life review protocol. Nine residents, age >= 65, participated in a life review group once weekly for 6 weeks. Outcomes were analyzed using the Life Satisfaction Index-Z (LSI-Z) and pre-post surveys. Results: LSI-Z scores improved post-intervention and survey outcomes indicated participation in activities of daily living (ADLs), socialization, outlook on life, and living in a nursing home perceptions improved for all participants. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a life review protocol to improve ADLs, social participation, and enhancing perceptions of outlook on life and living in a nursing home enhancing QOL and life satisfaction for older adult nursing home residents.
