Abstract
The differential effects of a Multi-strategy Group Program and that of traditional nursing home care upon elderly residents with organic brain syndrome were measured using the Mental Status Questionnaire, the Face-Hand Test, the Philadelphia Geriatric Morale Scale, and Lowenthal's Langley-Porter Physical Self Maintenance Scale. Seventy two subjects with organic brain syndrome were assessed on morale, physical self-maintenance, and mental function before and after receiving the Multi-strategy Program or traditional nursing home care. Subjects in the Multi-strategy Programs showed significant improvement in morale, activities of daily living, and mental functioning following four months of intervention, while the traditional nursing home care group showed significant decrease in the same areas.
