Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of systematic nursing intervention on the life ability and quality of senile dementia patients. Methods Total of 82 senile dementia patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were divided into two groups according to the random number table, and the nursing intervention was analyzed. 41 patients in the control group were given routine nursing care, and 41 patients in the observation group were given systematic nursing intervention. Patients were assessed cognitively using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA). The Barthel index and SF-36 were used to evaluate the patients' daily activity function and quality of life. A Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) was used to assess mental distress. The Social-Adaptive Function Rating Scale (SAFE) and Social Skills Inventory (SSC) were used to evaluate the patients' social interaction ability before and after nursing intervention. Nursing satisfaction was distributed to patients in the form of a self-prepared nursing satisfaction questionnaire for scoring. Results After the nursing intervention, the MoCA scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After the nursing intervention, the Barthel index scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After the nursing intervention, the SF-36 scores of patients in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing intervention, the SCL-90-R scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After the nursing intervention, the SAFE scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before the nursing intervention, and the safe scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). After the nursing intervention, the SSC scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before the nursing intervention, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing intervention, the total satisfaction degree of the control group (80.49%) was lower than that of the observation group (97.56%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of systematic nursing intervention is conducive to improve the cognitive function, activity of life, and quality of life of senile dementia patients who have a positive effect, and nursing satisfaction is higher.

Senile dementia is a group of primary degenerative brain diseases of unknown etiology. e prevalence of these diseases increases with age in the elderly [16]. e onset of senile dementia is slow, difficult, and irreversible, which mainly affects the intelligence and memory of patients, leading to memory loss, and seriously affects the cognition and emotion of patients
Summary
Senile dementia is a chronic disease with high clinical incidence in the elderly population [1]. With the development of the society, the aging of the global population is gradually increasing. Many elderly people are suffering from the symptoms of senile dementia, which seriously affects their daily life. Healthcare measures for senile dementia patients are insufficient, and even in developed countries, less than 50% of senile dementia patients are diagnosed and treated. It is estimated that by 2040, 80 million people worldwide will have senile dementia [2].
