Arm Description

Experiment group A accepted the planned digital nostalgic group activities using the official account platform of line as a medium, one class per week, 45-50 minutes each time, lasting 8 times.

Experiment group B participated in a general traditional nostalgic group, using actual nostalgic objects or utensils to carry out nostalgic activities, one class per week, 45-50 minutes each time, lasting 8 times

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mini-Mental State Examination; MMSE
The content of the test includes orientation, immediate memory, recent memory, concentration or attention, etc. The full score is 30 points. It is currently used in clinical and research, and is often used for cognitive evaluation of the elderly, and is widely used.
Neuropsychiatric Inventory, NPI
The content of the scale is to ask primary caregivers about new behaviors or changes in behavior since the onset of the patient, whether in the past four weeks or within a specified period of time. NPI includes 12 psycho-behavioral symptom items. The scoring method first uses screening questions to determine whether there is a change in behavior, then in-depth understanding of the changed behavior, and finally determines the frequency, severity and caregiver distress of the behavior according to each behavior degree. In terms of reliability and validity of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha for Chinese was 0.76, and the test-retest reliabilities of severity frequency and caregiver stress in the scale were 0.82, 0.85 and 0.79 respectively. It also has good reliability and validity (Fuh, Liu, Mega, Wang, & Cummings, 2001), and the assessment source of this scale is mainly asking the family caregivers of the patients.
Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia; CSDD
For patients with dementia who cannot communicate properly with others through oral expressions, making it difficult to identify their depressive symptoms, the application of this observation scale can effectively and appropriately detect depression in the elderly with cognitive impairment. The Kappa value of the two-week rater-ask agreement reliability (inter-rater agreement) was .43, indicating that all items were significantly stable; and the Cronbach's alpha of the internal consistency reliability was .84, this scale The source of the assessment was primarily asking the patient's family caregiver.
Purpose in Life Test:
This scale is used to assess the extent to which the elderly perceive the meaning and purpose of their life. There are 9 questions in two aspects (personal value and success of children and grandchildren), which are answered on a four-point scale. Among them, questions 5 and 6 are reverse questions. The total score ranges from 9 to 36 points. The higher the total score, the more positive and meaningful the subject feels about life. This scale has content validity completed by experts and scholars, and the internal consistency Cronbach α value of the scale is .75. After factor analysis, the explained variation of the two factors of shaping can reach 54.4%, indicating that this scale has good performance. reliability and validity.

Brief Summary
In the post-epidemic era, it is necessary to develop support programs for families with dementia in empirical care. The reminiscence therapy was adopted by patients with mild and moderate dementia those intervention have had good memory stimulation and emotional support effects in the previous studies. However, the application of digital reminiscence therapy that cross spatial and geographic constraints, but related research still has limitations on the knowledge of this topic. To use the official Line @ account as a media platform to develop a digital reminiscence group program (DRG), and to investigate the effects of mobile-application-based DRG on the psychoneurological symptoms, depression, life meaning and burden of family caregiver in people with mild and moderate dementia (PMMD).

This will be the first digital reminiscence group constructed specifically for family's people with mild and moderate dementia in our country. The investigators expected to have a positive effect. It can be used as a reference for the development of empirical care programs for family caregivers with PMMD in the community.
