be a precursor to dementia. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a combined dance and relaxation
intervention as compared to relaxation alone in reducing anxiety and depression levels and improving quality of life
(QOL) and cognitive function among the cognitively impaired elderly. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was
conducted between May and December 2013 in Peninsular Malaysia. Subjects from four government residential
homes for older adults aged ≥60 years with mild to moderate cognitive function as assessed by the Mini-Mental
State Examination were included in the study. Subjects were divided into an intervention group and a control group;
the former participated in a combined poco-poco dance and relaxation intervention whilst the latter participated in
relaxation exercises only. Both groups participated in two sessions per week for six weeks. Anxiety and depression
were self-assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and QOL was self-assessed using the Quality
of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease questionnaire. Results: A total of 84 elderly subjects were included in the study; 44
were in the intervention group and 40 were in the control group. When compared to control subjects, those in the
intervention group showed significantly decreased anxiety (P |

الهدف : الضعف الإدراكي مشكلة شائعة بين كبار السن، و يعتقد أن يكون من مقدمات الخرف. هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى استكشاف فعالية إدراج الرقص و الاسترخاء معا مقارنة مع الاسترخاء وحده في الحد من القلق و الاكتئاب و تحسين جودة الحياة و وظيفة الإدراك بين مرضى الضعف الإدراكي في كبار السن. الطريقة : أجريت هذه الدراسة شبه التجريبية ما بين مايو و ديسمبر 2013 في شبه جزيرة ماليزيا على أشخاص أعمارهم فوق الستين عام يقطنون في أربع منازل سكنية لكبار السن التابعة للحكومة. كان المشاركون في الدراسة يعانون من ضعف في الوظيفة الإدراكية خفيفة إلى معتدلة بناء على اختبار مصغر للقدرة العقلية. تم تقسيم المشاركين إلى مجموعة اختبار و مجموعة ضابطة. مجموعة الاختبار شاركت في رقصة بوكو بوكو مع تمارين الاسترخاء في حين شاركت المجموعة الضابطة في تمارين الاسترخاء فقط. شاركت كلتا المجموعتين في جلستين في الأسبوع لمدة ستة أسابيع. جرى التقييم الذاتي للقلق و الاكتئاب باستخدام مقياس القلق و الاكتئاب الخاص بالمستشفى و تم التقييم الذاتي لنوعية الحياة بتعبئة استبيان خاص بجودة الحياة لمرضى الزهايمر. النتائج : شملت الدراسة 84 مسنا (44 في مجموعة الاختبار و 40 في المجموعة الضابطة). بالمقارنة بالمجموعة الضابطة، أظهرت مجموعة الاختبار انخفاضا ملحوظا ذا قيمة إحصائية في القلق (0.001 > P) و الاكتئاب (0.001 > P) فضلا عن تحسين نوعية الحياة (0.001 > P) و الإدراك. (0.001 > P) النتيجة : وجد أن الرقص يمكن إضافته كشكل من أشكال ممارسة الرياضة البدنية للحد من القلق و الاكتئاب و تحسين جودة الحياة و وظيفة الإدراك في العينة المدروسة للمسنين الذين لديهم ضعف إدراكي في ماليزيا.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2075-051X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2075-0528</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.18295/squmj.2016.16.01.009</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26909213</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Muscat - Oman: Sultan Qaboos University</publisher><subject>ANXIETY ; Anxiety in old age ; CARE OF THE AGED ; Clinical & Basic Research ; Cognitive ability ; Compact disc players ; Dance ; Dance therapy ; Dementia ; Depression ; Depression in old age ; Exercise ; Intervention ; LIFE ; MALAYSIA ; Mental depression ; Mild cognitive impairment ; Music therapy ; Older people ; PERCEPTION ; Physical fitness ; Psychology ; Quality of life ; Relaxation ; Technique ; Therapeutic use ; Treatment ; الإدراك ; الاستخدام العلاجي ; الاسترخاء ; الاكتئاب ; الحياة ; الرقص ; القلق ; المسنون ; رعاية المسنين ; علم النفس ; ماليزيا ; نوعية الحياة</subject><ispartof>Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2016-02, Vol.16 (1), p.47-53</ispartof><rights>Copyright Sultan Qaboos University Feb 2016</rights><rights>Copyright 2016, Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, All Rights Reserved 2016</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-a5309-fadf51b428da0199a42366e1fe623f2dcf61ce88bd763df98860ab4acfcddfd83</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Uhttps://static.almanhal.com/covers/titl/78424/cover-lg.jpg</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4746043/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4746043/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,860,881,2096,27901,27902,53766,53768</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26909213$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Ramli , Ayiesah</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Shahar , Suzana</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Adam , Dina</creatorcontrib><title>Effectiveness of a Combined Dance and Relaxation Intervention on Reducing Anxiety and Depression and Improving Quality of Life among the Cognitively Impaired Elderly</title><title>Sultan Qaboos University medical journal</title><addtitle>Sultan Qaboos Univ Med J</addtitle><description>Objectives: Cognitive impairment is a common problem among the elderly and is believed to
