PLEXA, Andreia; NOGUEIRA, Maria José; SEABRA, Paulo  e  VALENTIM, Olga. Effects of reminiscence therapy on the geriatric population: Scoping review . Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2020, n.spe7, pp.109-114. ISSN 1647-2160.  https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.0255.

BACKGROUND: Reminiscence Therapy (RT) has been used to promote well-being, cognition and mood improvement.The geriatric population is usually associated with pathologies such as dementia and/or depression and is often targeted for RT. However, preliminary research has shown that data regarding the effects of this therapy and how it should be implemented are scattered in the literature. Therefore, we decided to carry out a scoping review with the following research question: “What is the effect of reminiscence therapy on the geriatric population?” AIM To map the scientific evidence about the effects of the RT in the geriatric population. METHODS: A Scoping Review guided by the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. From the first of June to the 17th of 2018,we search for the "reminiscence therapy", "reminiscence" and "life review" descriptors in the EBSCO and B-on platforms, at PubMed and SciELO databases. The papers were selected according to predefined criteria such as participants' age of over 65 years, participants submitted to RT, papers with free full text in Portuguese, Spanish and English. RESULTS: 4 articles were selected and analyzed from a total of 73. The RT produces effects on the reduction of depressive symptoms and caregivers' overload, behavior, cognition, and well-being. CONCLUSIONS:There is a lack of evidence to substantiate the effect of the RT on the geriatric population, as well as how it should be applied. Therefore, further longitudinal studies with significant samples are necessary to better understand the effect of RT in the geriatric population.
