The current paper examined the effect of groupreminiscence for the community-dwelling elderly persons using
cross-generational approach. The study was framed by Reminiscence
Partnership Program that encompassed the intervention of
reminiscence group, the training of the university students and the
professionals of health and social division, and the evaluation.
Sixteen elderly persons participated in the reminiscence group. They
were divided into two groups of 8. They attended an hour-long
group session once every two weeks over three months. The
themes of the group were chronological and non-chronological, with
the use of props of the local community. Evaluation of the program
included pre- and post-test of MMSE, the Activity Scale of TMIG and Baum Test as well as focus group interview. The results of
the focus group conducted to both the elderly and the students
brought to light the socio- cultural and interactional aspect of
group. It was suggested that the group reminiscence was effective
for the elderly participants to bring out a sense of confidence
towards the continuity of self. On the part of the students, it was
found that it enhanced the students' learning in the possibilities in
aging and their reflection on themselves as future career. A
conceptual model is proposed in understanding the multi-dimensional
effects of reminiscence intervention. The differences in the group
development and dynamics between the two groups are also
described. Themes of reminiscence and some ethical considerations
in conducing reminiscence group are discussed. Evaluative research
on the intervention of reminiscence group with both qualitative and
quantitative account is highly invited.
