| Objective:(1)To evaluate the efficacy of aroma inhalation and acupressure on the state of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.(2)To evaluate the effect of aroma inhalation and acupressure on the state of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment.Methods:The elderly with mild cognitive impairment in 6 elderly care institutions in different districts of Nanjing were divided into 45 cases in group A(aromatic inhalation),45 cases in group B(acupressure),45 cases in group C(aromatic inhalation and acupressure),and 45 cases in group C(blank controls).MMSE,WMS,PSQI,and GDS were used to evaluate the elderly patients with MCI in the 4 groups before,at 3 months and at 6 months.Result:(1)In the MMSE scale,after 3 months of intervention,there was a statistical difference in aroma inhalation and acupressure,P<0.01.Six months after the intervention,there were statistical differences in aroma inhalation,acupoint massage,and aromatherapy combined with acupressure,and there were statistically significant differences in time main effects,intervention,and time interaction effects.(2)In the WMS scale,there were statistical differences in aroma inhalation,acupoint massage,aromatherapy and acupressure,and differences in time main effect,intervention and time interaction effect were statistically significant.(3)In the PSQI scale,there were statistically significant differences in time main effects,interventions,and time interaction effects of aroma inhalation,acupressure,aromatherapy and acupressure,and statistical differences in aroma inhalation,aromatherapy and acupressure.(4)In the GDS scale,aroma inhalation,acupressure,aromatherapy and acupoint massage were not statistically significant.Conclusion:(1)There are different degrees of cognitive and memory impairment in the elderly of MCL elderly care institutions,which show a downward trend over time.(2)Aroma inhalation,acupoint massage,aroma inhalation and acupoint massage can effectively improve the cognitive function of the elderly in MCI elderly care institutions.Aroma inhalation and acupressure massage can effectively improve the cognitive function of the elderly in MCI elderly care institutions after intervention for 3 months Aroma inhalation and acupoint massage is significantly better than simply inhaling acupuncture and acupoint massage in improving the cognitive function of the elderly in MCI elderly care institutions.(3)Aroma inhalation,aroma inhalation and acupoint massage can improve the sleep of elderly people with MCI in nursing homes.(4)Aroma inhalation,acupoint massage,aroma inhalation and acupoint massage cannot improve the depression of elderly people with MCI in nursing homes. |
