GIL, Isabel Maria de Assunção et al. Reminiscence therapy: development of a program for institutionalized older people with cognitive impairment. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.15, pp.121-132. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV17052.
Background: The lack of structured intervention programs aimed at older people with cognitive impairment in Portugal has been identified as one of the main obstacles to the effectiveness of reminiscence therapy (RT) programs in institutional settings. Thus, well-defined and replicable RT programs should be developed and validated to fill in the gap. Objectives: To develop and validate an RT program. Methodology: The Medical Research Council framework for the development of complex interventions was followed. The program was developed in four distinct phases, including preliminary phase, modeling, field testing, and consensus conference. Results: The validation process resulted in a program consisting of a core component and a follow-up component, in a total of 21 sessions for group intervention. Conclusion: The RT program, which was designed and validated during this study, demonstrated characteristics adjusted to the context and the construct was meaningful to the target population. The effectiveness of the RT program will be tested in a future pilot study.
