论文摘要
康复空间提出了一种新的多感觉干预措施的方法，该方法在改善老年人晚期痴呆症的行为和心理症状方面可能有潜力。该项目使用智能技术，将数字和物理组件都结合在一起，以改变空间并创造统一的，精心策划的感官体验，为互动提供有意义的环境，并且很容易使护理人员交付。对Healing Spaces应用程序进行了一项可用性研究，然后对记忆护理机构招募护理人员的全部经验以及痴呆症高级阶段的居民进行可行性评估。可行性评估成功地照亮了优势，以及与患有晚期痴呆症的老年人的记忆护理环境中康复空间体验的改进领域。护理人员和设施经理表示有兴趣继续与该设施的居民一起使用康复空间。讨论了有关康复空间技术和后勤实施的经验教训，以及研究设计的未来方向以及经验的潜在治疗价值。
Healing Spaces proposes a new approach to multisensory interventions that show potential in ameliorating the behavioral and psychological symptoms of advanced dementia in older adults. Using smart technology, the project combines both digital and physical components to transform spaces and create unified, curated sensory experiences that provide meaningful context for interaction, and are easy for caregivers to deliver. A usability study was conducted for the Healing Spaces app followed by a feasibility evaluation of the full experience in a memory care facility recruiting caregivers, and residents in advanced stages of dementia. The feasibility evaluation successfully illuminated strengths as well as areas for improvement for the Healing Spaces experience in a memory care setting with older adults with advanced dementia. Caregivers and facility managers expressed interest in continuing to use Healing Spaces with the residents of the facility. Lessons learned about the technical and logistical implementation of Healing Spaces are discussed, as well as future directions for study design and potential therapeutic value of the experience.
