论文摘要
Abstract：
Objectives: Dementias are highly prevalent among Chinese elders. This study examined the effectiveness of a modified group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on dementia worry among Chinese older adults.Methods: Eighty-two older adults recruited from four elder group homes were randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. The intervention group (n= 44) received eight weekly 60-minute face-to-face CBT,while the control group (n=38) received treatment-as-usual.Results: Outcomes indicated that the modified group CBT has significantly reduced dementia worry and culturally biased beliefs about dementia (p<.001). Study findings supported both statistically and clinically significant effect of modified group CBT on dementia worry [g=-1.52, 95% CI (-2.01, -1.03)] and biased beliefs about dementia [g=-.95, 95% CI (-1.40, -.49)].Discussion: The culturally adapted CBT is promising in alleviating worries and anxiety over dementia among Chinese older adults. Future research needs to include larger samples and participants from different regions to replicate findings.摘要：
目的：痴呆症在中国老年人中非常普遍。本研究考察了改良后的团体认知行为疗法(CBT)用于缓解中国老年人罹患痴呆症焦虑的效果。方法：研究团队从4个老年福利院招募了82名老年人，并将之随机分为干预组和对照组。干预组(n=44)接受每周一次60分钟的面对面CBT活动（共8次），而对照组(n=38)保持常规状态。结果：研究结果表明改良的团体CBT显著降低了老年人对患痴呆症的焦虑及对痴呆症的文化偏见(p<.001)；改良的团体CBT对降低老年人患痴呆症的焦虑[g=-1.52，95%CI(-2.01，-1.03)]和痴呆症的文化偏见[g=-0.95，95%CI(-1.40，-0.49)]，在统计学和临床上均有显著意义。讨论：具有文化契合性的CBT疗法有望缓解中国老年人对痴呆症的担忧和焦虑。未来的研究需要包含更大的样本和来自不同地区的被试以检验研究结果。
