The trend of the aging population has swept the whole world.China entered the aging society in 1999 against this background,and the aging population had become more and more serious by the end of 2018.The number of the elderly population is increasing day by day,the body and mind of the elderly are undergoing great changes,the problems of the elderly are also emerging,and issues of the elderly has become the focus of attention of the whole society.Among them,Alzheimer's disease has become a common mental disease among the elderly,which has attracted high attention in various disciplines.With the development of society,there are many treatments for Alzheimer's disease,but they are mainly divided into two categories: drug therapy and non-drug therapy.Social work is one of the non-drug treatment methods for Alzheimer's disease,but it is not perfect in the application process.Compared with theoretical exploration,specific practical experience and cases are still in a relatively deficient state.The methods of this study were as follows: administered using the simple mental state rating scale(MMSE),the Blessed behavior scale(BBS)and the neuropsychiatric questionnaire(NPI).Twelve patients with Alzheimer's disease admitted to the old people's home of taishan of Tai'an City social service center were selected as the research subjects,and the pretest data were recorded.Taking age,gender,education level and pre-test results as key factors,the research object was divided into two groups by matching samples,and the total was divided into six groups.Members of each group were allocated in a simple random way,and there was no difference between the two groups.The control group provided normal care,and the experimental group provided group work therapy on the basis of normal care.After the activity,the members of the two groups were post-tested and the data were recorded.The changes in cognitive function,behavioral symptoms and neuropsychiatric symptoms were evaluated by the comparison between the two groups.The results showed that: There were significant differences in the scores of the scales before and after treatment between the control group and the experimental group.The status of the control group was relatively negative,while that of the experimental group was relatively positive.The scores of all scales in the experimental group werebetter than those in the control group;The scores in the mental state of the experimental group changed significantly.Through this study,the following conclusions are drawn: The group work can improve the cognitive function,behavioral symptoms and neuropsychiatric symptoms of Alzheimer's disease patients,to some extent of Alzheimer's disease patients,and this effect is positive;Patients who are only provide with routine care tend to get worse,indicating that Alzheimer's disease cannot be neglected;The group work has a prominent impact on the mental symptoms of patients,which indicates that the group work has a great effect on the mental state rehabilitation of Alzheimer's patients.
