Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to study the effects of the Life Story Book intervention on depressive symptoms and meaning in life for mentally alert residents of nursing homes.


Clinical Trial Description

Two nursing homes were recruited to participate. One nursing home will receive the Life Story Book intervention while the other half receives Usual Care intervention. The interventions were then switched, and the participants who received Usual Care intervention received the Life Story Book intervention while the home that received Life Story Book intervention received Usual Care intervention. The study consisted of two treatment periods of 3 weeks separated by a washout period of 1 week.

Life Story Book provides a person with the opportunity to chronologically share their life experiences and memories. This three-1 hour reminiscence intervention is designed to provide a person with the opportunity to review their past and capture their life story into something tangible. The Life Story Book includes a combination of written information, photographs of significant people, places or events, and personal narratives from the stages of life that the person would like to include. ;
