Abstract

Objective: to identify, describe and evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Stimulation Programs,
applied and/or supervised by nurses, for older adults with and without dementia syndromes in
any care setting. Method: integrative review with collection in PubMed, Scopus, Bdenf, Scielo,
Web of Science, Cinahl and BVS, from May 2020 to November 2021, whose main descriptors
were: “cognitive stimulation program”, “nursing” and “older”. Results: in the six selected studies,
a lack of standardization was identified in the use of pre- and post-implementation instruments.
The techniques were: reality orientation, reminiscence therapy and validation. The effectiveness of
the program was proven by validated scales. Two studies demonstrated program applications and
four were about supervision/guidance for caregivers. No Brazilian studies were found. Conclusions:
Cognitive Stimulation programs are effective in reducing behavioral and psychological symptoms
of dementia. The need for more clinical studies conducted by nurses is highlighted.
