摘要：

AimsThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a life review intervention on older adults' self-perceived ratings of quality of life, depression, and mastery.MethodsA sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data was gathered via a pre-posttest design. Qualitative data was gathered regarding participants' perceived value of the life review program.ResultsA Wilcoxon signed rank sum test indicated that one item on the WHO-QOL BREF (modified) had a significant change, indicating fewer negative feelings after the life review intervention. Six themes emerged from the qualitative data: (1) Nostalgia; (2) Reflection; (3) Appreciation; (4) Proliferation of additional memories; (5) Sharing in similar experiences with others; and (6) Gratefulness.ConclusionResults indicated that participation in a five-week, home-based, life-review intervention program has the potential to improve self-perceived quality of life and sense of personal mastery for older adults sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
