The Effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-Based Psychoeducation on Cognitive Flexibility and Rumination in the Elderly
Sponsor: Ataturk University
Summary
This study aimed to investigate the effect of psychoeducation on rumination and cognitive flexibility in elderly individuals residing in nursing homes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based psychoeducation has recently been applied to multiple specific groups around the world and in our country. In general, executive functioning skills and, more specifically, cognitive flexibility appear to be important for the ability to use certain CBT techniques; however, considering that these skills naturally decline with age, further research is needed. It is anticipated that the results of this study will contribute to applications in the field of psychiatric nursing.
