Evaluation of the Effect of Memory-based Reminiscence Therapy

The main objective of this study is to examine the effects of memory-based recall therapy applied to elderly adults diagnosed with Stage 0, 1, and 2 dementia on their mental state, psychological flexibility, and cognitive flexibility. The original flow plan created in the study is not found in the literature. Therefore, presenting the effects of memory-based recall on cognition in the literature may demonstrate that the contents of classical recall therapy can also be effectively restructured with cognitive effects. From this perspective, the aim is to make recommendations for "advanced psychiatric nursing practices." Research Hypotheses: H0: Memory-based recall therapy has no effect on mental state, psychological flexibility, and cognitive flexibility in individuals with early-stage dementia. H1: Memory-based Recall Therapy has an effect on mental state, psychological flexibility, and cognitive flexibility in individuals with early-stage dementia.
