Introduction: The prevalence of psychological problems in the elderly with mild Alzheimer's is high, and interventions are needed to solve these problems. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of holographic re-entrainment therapy on the autobiographical memory of the elderly with mild Alzheimer's.
Method: The research method was semi-experimental and pre-test, post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all elderly people with mild Alzheimer's disease in Qaimshahr city in 2023, 30 people (15 people from the experimental group and 15 people from the control group) were selected by available sampling method. The data collection tool was the memory experiences questionnaire of Lokti and Swain (2016). The intervention of holographic regeneration treatment was performed in 9 sessions of 90 minutes and once a week on the experimental group and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 24 software. P level less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: In the autobiographical memory variable, the mean and standard deviation of the experimental group was 87.43±10.28 in the pre-test and 131.73±12.87 in the post-test. The results of the covariance analysis also showed that the holographic resurfacing treatment had an effect on the autobiographical memory of mild Alzheimer's patients (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, holographic resurfacing therapy can be used to increase the autobiographical memory of the elderly with mild Alzheimer's.
