Description
Introduction: Cognitive decline in older adults is a common challenge that
affects their independence and well-being. Virtual-based reminiscence
therapy (VBR) is a versatile approach that may enhance memory and
cognitive function by revisiting past experiences through digital platforms.
This method has the potential to yield better outcomes compared to
conventional methods. The objective of this study is to investigate the
influence of virtual reality (VR) in reminiscence therapy for improving
cognitive function among older adults.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted across five journal
databases: Cochrane, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The
screening and selection process adhered to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, and
article bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) screening
instrument. A narrative analysis was presented to examine the impact of
VBR on cognitive function in older adults.
Results: This review identified five articles that met the predefined
inclusion criteria. The total number of respondents was 250, with an age
range from 65.54 to 86.05 years. The cognitive function measurement tools
used in the five articles included the Saint Louis University Mental Status
(SLUMS) ratings, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Cognitive
Assessment Screening Instrument (CASI), and the Addenbrooke's
Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III).
Conclusion: VR-based reminiscence therapy shows promising potential for
enhancing cognitive function among older adults. However, further
adaptations are required to accommodate the physical capabilities of older
adults in integrating technology into therapeutic practices.
