简要总结
This study aims to examine the effects of horticultural activities on the physical and cognitive status, mental well-being, social participation, and quality of life of individuals diagnosed with dementia living in nursing homes. Forty individuals participated in the study. The intervention group received a 10-week horticultural activity program, conducted two days a week (one activity day and one visit day), while the control group underwent evaluations without participating in the horticultural activities. Various standardized assessment tools were used to evaluate mental status, functional mobility, cognitive performance, mental well-being, social participation, and quality of life.
