Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To test the effects of the Psychomotor Activation Programme (PAP) on the behaviour and cognition of demented elderly people. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial with an experimental group and a control group. Post-test after 6 months. SETTING: Group care projects for demented elderly people living in 11 different homes for the elderly in The Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred and thirty-four subjects entered the study (72 in the experimental group and 62 in the control group), 42 of whom dropped out (27 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group). MEASUREMENTS: Individual behaviour and group behaviour were scored using two Dutch scales (BIP and SIPO respectively) developed and validated for use in psychogeriatric populations. Cognition was measured with the short and the long versions of the Cognitive Screening Test (CST-14 and CST-20). Disability was measured with the Barthel Index. Medicine use, falls, other accidents and life events were registered. RESULTS: The PAP had a beneficial effect on cognition (CST-14, F = 2.63, p < or = 0.05, effect size 0.4) (CST-20, F = 3.77, p < or = 0.05, effect size 0.5) and increased positive group behaviour in participants with relatively mild cognitive problems (SIPO, F = 4.46 p < or = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The PAP stabilizes cognitive performance and has some beneficial effects on behaviour. Positive findings were supported by a simultaneously conducted process evaluation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
