简要总结
The aim of the study is to verify and compare the short-term and long-term effectiveness (retention) of Snoezelen intervention and reminiscence therapy and to analyze the dynamics of changes in the level of emotionality and anxiety of seniors in experimental groups and the control group.
The main question is:
There are significant differences in the level of emotionality (negative and positive emotional states) and anxiety between the two experimental groups of seniors and the control group of seniors during the measurements (pre-test measurement vs. retest measurement I; pre-test measurement vs. retest measurement II; retest measurement vs. retest measurement II)?
Researchers will compare seniors receiving Snoezelen intervention, those receiving Reminiscence Therapy, and a control group without intervention to see if the interventions lead to measurable improvements in emotionality and anxiety.
Participants will take part in Snoezelen sessions, take part in Reminiscence Therapy sessions, complete pretest, retest and retest II assessments measuring emotionality and anxiety.
详细描述
The study was registered retrospectively due to a limited awareness of the requirement to register behavioural interventions at the time of its initiation in 2022/2023. Initially conceived as a small-scale exploratory project, formal trial registration was not deemed necessary in the early planning stages.
As a doctoral student and early-career researcher, I was initially unaware that behavioural intervention studies also require formal registration. However, as the research progressed and its scope and significance became clearer, I recognised the importance of fulfilling this requirement. Upon learning of the relevant guidelines, I promptly took the necessary steps to complete the registration.
Although registration occurred at a later stage, the study was carried out in accordance with a pre-specified protocol, strictly adhering to methodological and ethical standards-approved, for instance, by the Ethics Committee of Matej Bel University. The hypotheses, study design, and analysis plan were defined prior to data collection, thereby ensuring the rigour, integrity, and transparency of the research process.
Funded by the EU NextGenerationEU through the Recovery and Resilience Plan for Slovakia under the project No. 09I03-03-V05-0000.

结局指标
主要结局
The Scale of Emotional Habituation of Subjective Well-Being - SEHP (Džuka & Dalbert, 2002)
时间窗: from participant enrollment to data collection after 8 months
The Scale of Emotional Habituation of Subjective Well-Being - SEHP (Džuka \& Dalbert, 2002) was used to examine the short-term effectiveness of the intervention programme. The self-esteem scale maps the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions, totalling 10. Negative emotional experiencing consists of six emotions such as anger, guilt, fear, pain, sadness, and shame, positive emotional experiencing consists of pleasure, physical freshness, joy, and happiness. The participants responded on a six-point scale (6 - almost always; 1 - almost never). The total score of negative emotions is the sum of negative emotions, and the total score of positive emotions is the sum of positive emotions (Džuka et al., 2021).
The Anxiety and Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI (Spielberger et al., 1970, ed. Ruisel et al., 1980)
时间窗: from participant enrollment to data collection after 8 months
The Anxiety and Trait Anxiety Inventory - STAI (Spielberger et al., 1970, ed. Ruisel et al., 1980), specifically only the anxiety portion of the questionnaire, i.e., the Scale for the Measurement of Anxiety as a Condition, STAI X-1. This is the self-assessment portion of the questionnaire, which maps the degree of current experience of feelings of tension, tenseness, nervousness, fear, and apprehension. It contains 20 statements, some of which relate to the existence of these feelings and some of which relate to their absence. Seniors rated their experiencing on a four-point scale (4 - very, 1 - not at all). We based the norms on those presented in the manual by Ruisel et al. (1980).The result is a total score, which is obtained by summing the values on the scale taking into account reverse scaling. The range of the total score is 20-80.
