Effects of Playback Theatre on cognitive function and quality of life in older adults in Singapore: A preliminary study.
Australasian Journal on Ageing 2018 March
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of Playback Theatre on older adults' cognitive function and well-being, specifically in the Singapore context.
METHODS: Eighteen healthy older adults, older than 50 years of age, participated in the study. Due to practical limitations, a single-group pre-post study design was adopted. Participants completed the outcome measures before and after the training program. There were six weekly sessions in total (about 1.5 hours, once weekly).
RESULTS: Participants experienced a significant improvement in their emotional well-being after training. However, there were no significant changes in participants' cognitive function or health-related quality of life.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that Playback Theatre as a community program has potential to improve the mental and emotional well-being of older people.
