Abstract:

本文旨在探讨一种干预轻度老年痴呆患者认知功能的新思路——园艺疗法。首先，介绍了这一思路的两个背景：第一，未来我国患老年痴呆症的老年人将逐渐增多；第二，园艺疗法正在成为一种针对老年痴呆症的新型干预手段。然后，介绍了园艺疗法的两个理论基础：注意力恢复理论和压力缓解理论。并且对通过园艺疗法干预老年痴呆患者认知的相关文献进行简要梳理；提出当前研究存在三个问题：数量不足、方法不严格、深度不够。最后，提出未来的两个研究方向：关注园艺疗法对轻度老年痴呆认知功能的影响、关注园艺疗法对轻度老年痴呆大脑结构的改变。希望本文可以为该领域的研究者提供参考。
The purpose of this paper is to explore a new way of intervention in cognitive function of patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease horticultural therapy. Firstly, this paper introduces two backgrounds of this idea: first, the number of elderly people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease will gradually increase in the future; second, horticultural therapy is becoming a new intervention for Alzheimer's disease. Then, it introduces two theoretical bases of horticultural therapy: attention recovery theory and stress relief theory. And through a brief review of the relevant literature of horticultural therapy intervention on the cognition of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, three problems are proposed in the current research: insufficient quantity, lax method and insufficient depth. Finally, two research directions in the future are proposed: focusing on the effects of horticultural therapy on cognitive function of mild Alzheimer’s disease, and focusing on the changes of brain structure of mild Alzheimer’s disease. I hope this paper can provide reference for researchers in this field.
