Abstract
Introduction: Dementia, cognitive decline, and impaired ability to carry out daily tasks are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurological disorder that worsens over time. Methodology: The researchers used a quasi-experimental approach based on a before-and-after comparison of one group with sixty patients diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease as the methodology. Both the hospitals and the participants were chosen with purpose. To examine baseline memory functioning, a standardised memory evaluation scale was utilised. Over the course of eight weeks, participants received instruction on how to provide better care, recollection therapy, reality orientation, structured cognitive stimulation, memory enhancement activities, and carer education. The post-intervention assessment was conducted once the intervention was finished. Result: After the intervention, the average memory score increased from 18.6 ± 4.2 before the test to 25.8 ± 4.7. An improvement in memory was observed that was statistically significant (t = 10.84, p < 0.001). Memory improvement was significantly related to the selected demographic characteristics, such as age and educational status, according to the results. In conclusion, people with Alzheimer's disease can benefit from nursing interventions that improve their memory. Conclusion: Cognitive and quality of life improvements may be possible with structured cognitive and supportive nursing interventions integrated into standard of care.
