Abstract
The results of three research projects examining the effects of a structured life review process are reported. A total of eighty-four subjects in three diverse populations participated in at least one of the three research projects. The reseach design of pretest, posttest with a control and experimental group was employed. All subjects received the LSI-A as pretest and posttest. The experimental group received the life review process, a structured form of life review administered as holistic nursing intervention. The control group received as many friendly visits as the experimental group received life review visits. Difference and change between groups were tested statistically through Analysis of Covariance, resulting in an F of 57.47, P < 0.0001 for the group of twelve well-elderly in the midwestern community, an F of 13.75, P < 0.00017 for the twenty-one nursing home residents in the large southern city, and an F of 11.52, P < 0.0001 for the fifty-one homebound elderly in the coastal southern city. All three research projects demonstrated that a structured life review process is a successful intervention for improving the level of life satisfaction in the elderly.
