  • Effectiveness of a Theater Program Intervention on the Cognitive, Physical, and Social Functions of Elderly People Living in the Community: A Pilot Survey

    Kodama A, Kume Y, Watanabe N, Iino Y, Imamura S, Ota H

    Clinical Case Reports International   7 ( 1 ) 1592   2023.08  [Refereed]

    Research paper (journal)   Single author

    Background: In recent years, theatrical approach has been reported to improve the health promotion of the older adults. Our study aimed to clarify the effects of a theater program intervention on the cognitive, physical, and social functions of older adults living in the community. Methods: Of the 43 participants, they were assigned to the control group and theatre intervention group, each group received intervention for three months. We compared participants' pre-test and post-test physical, cognitive, and social functioning results of the program. Moreover, the amount of change in physical and cognitive items in the control and theater groups was compared. Results: A comparison of pre-test and post-test results showed significant improvements in the UWS and physical and social frailty for the control and theatre group. Furthermore, amount of the change in UWS in the theatre group was significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, we have shown that a theatrical intervention can be as effective as the multicomponent exercise recommended, the theatrical approach was suggested to be effective in improving social frailty.

  • Effect of a multicomponent programme based on reality orientation therapy on the physical performance and cognitive function of elderly community-dwellers: a quasi-experimental study

    Background:Effects of a multicomponent exercise programme have an impact on the physical, cognitive, and psychological domains in elderly community-dwellers. However, some individuals aged 65 years or more have not shown positive effects after the intervention as reported in similar research. The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to clarify the effectiveness of a multicomponent programme based on reality orientation therapy (ROT) on the physical performance, cognitive ability, and psychological state in the elderly.
    Method:Participants were recruited from the general public in 20 areas of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and they took part in each exercise programme for 90 min a day, once every 2 weeks, for 3 months, according to the group classification using cluster randomization into 20 cohorts in Akita. Physical, cognitive, and geriatric depression assessments were performed at baseline and after the 3-month intervention in both the ROT-based intervention group and the control group.
    Result:The final samples for analysis consisted of 31 participants in the control group and 30 participants in the intervention group. The results of the statistical analysis comparing the two groups showed that the 5-repetition sit-to-stand test was performed significantly faster (P < 0.05) and that the results of the word list memory (WM) test and the Symbol Digit Substitution Task also had significantly improved (P < 0.05) after the intervention in both groups. The WM score did not show an interactive effect between the group and time factors, but it had a significant main effect on time in both groups (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion:The results of our quasi-experimental study indicated that the multicomponent programme based on the ROT would be as effective as the original multicomponent programme combined with aerobic exercise and cognitive tasks, as highlighted in the WM.

  • 24-Hour Rest-Activity Rhythm in Middle-Aged and Older Persons with Depression

    Masaki Hayashi,Masahiro Takeshima,Tomoko Hosoya, Yu Kume

    Changes in rest or active states were clinically observed in persons with depression. However, the association between symptoms of depression and 24 h rest-activity rhythm (RAR) components that can be measured using wearable devices was not clarified. This preliminary cross-sectional study aimed to clarify the 24 h RAR components associated with symptoms of depression in middle-aged and older persons. Participants were recruited from among inpatients and outpatients requiring medical treatment at Akita University Hospital for the group with depression and from among healthy volunteers living in Akita prefecture, Japan, for the healthy control group. To assess RAR parameters including inter-daily stability (IS), intra-daily variability (IV), relative amplitude (RA), and average physical activity level for the most active 10 h span (M10) or for the least active 5 h span (L5), all the participants were instructed to wear an Actiwatch Spectrum Plus device on their non-dominant wrist for seven days. Twenty-nine persons with depression and 30 controls were included in the analysis. The results of a binomial regression analysis showed that symptoms of depression were significantly associated with a high IS value (odds ratio [OR], 1.20; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.01–1.44; p = 0.04) and a low M10 value (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74–0.96; p = 0.01). Our findings suggest potential components of 24 h RAR are associated with depression.

  • Life rhythm in Dementia

    Kume Yu

    Japanese Journal of Geriatric Therapy ( The Japan Geriatric Therapy Society )  2 ( 0 ) 1 - 6   2023.02  [Invited]

    Research paper (journal)   Single author

    <p>Life rhythms in humans, including patterns of sleep, diet, work and leisure, have been commonly recognized as being important for the maintenance of good health. Some studies have indicated that delirium and wandering behaviors often observed in older persons with dementia might be associated with disturbances in life rhythms, and the rearrangement of rest-activity patterns in daily life can lead to a reduction in Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) and the maintenance of good health. For older persons with dementia who have difficulty resting or regulating their activities by themselves, support might be needed from caregivers who understand the importance of life rhythms in people with dementia. Recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT), such as wearable technology, are useful for quantitatively assessing life rhythms in persons with dementia. In particular, the characteristics of rest-activity rhythms in older persons with dementia have now been well documented by research conducted in Japan and internationally. An appropriate understanding of life rhythms in persons with dementia is expected to help maintain good health in older persons with dementia as well as their helpers or caregivers, in addition to helping specialists develop new therapeutic approaches.</p>

  • Effect of walking in natural spring areas on Physiology and Psychology : Using Physiological and Sensory evaluation

    Takahashi Keiichi, Kume Yu, Ishikawa Takashi, Yuasa Takao

      21 ( 1 ) 37 - 46   2013.03  [Refereed]

    Research paper (university bulletin, research institution)   Domestic Co-author

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological and psychological effects of walking in natural spring areas. The subjects were 25 male and 18 female (42.1±12.3 years) workers in Misato town. They were divided into a spring area group (13 men, 9 women, age 42.5±12.1 years) and a control (outdoor car park) group (12 men, 9 women, age 41.7±12.8 years). Some physiological and psychological indices were measured before and after walking for 20 minutes around each place. Physiological effect was measured using blood pressure, heart rate, salivary amylase activity (AMY score) and psychological effect was measured using the Profile of Mood States and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Form JYZ (STAI). As a result, we found that the negative mood Confusion (C) in POMS and the Trait-Anxiety scale in STAI decreased significantly after walking around the natural spring area. This study suggested that walking around the spring area is considered to produce a reduction in stress and limit the decline in thinking power, and gives people psychological healing.
