Abstract: (2756 Views)
Background: The daily living activities are among the essential components of life and reflect an important aspect of functional independence in older adults. This study aimed to determine the effect of Group Movie Therapy (GMT) on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in older adults.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 48 older adults referred to Urban Comprehensive Health Service Centers of Kashan City, Iran. The study subjects were enrolled by a convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=24) and control (n=24) groups. GMT was performed in 6 weekly sessions. The Lawton’s ADL Scale was used for data collection. The obtained data were analyzed by the Chi-Squared test, Fisher’s Exact test, and Independent Samples t-test using SPSS.
Results: There was no significant difference in the mean scores of Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) before the intervention between the study groups. A significant difference was found in the mean scores of IADL after the intervention between the study groups (P=0.001); however, there was no significant difference in the BADL values of the groups after the intervention.
Conclusion: GMT is a non-invasive, low-cost, and non-risky way to improve the elderly’s autonomy in performing IADL. Thus, GMT is recommended as a method of behavior therapy.

● Independence in performing the basic and instrumental activities of daily living decreases health costs and increases the quality of life in the elderly.
● Activities of daily living decrease in older adults due to numerous conditions, such as declined biopsychological health, social isolation, and the medications’ adverse effects.
● The current study determined the impact of Group Movie Therapy (GMT) on the activities of daily living in older adults.
● The obtained results indicated that GMT increased the instrumental activities of daily living in older adults.
● It is suggested that GMT to be used as a non-invasive, low-cost, and non-risky approach to increase the elderly’s autonomy in performing the instrumental activities of daily living.
Plain Language Summary
The activities of daily living are among the essential components of life and reflect functional independence in older adults. Declined physical function could impair the activities of daily living. Geriatric nurses must be aware of the non-invasive, low-cost, and non-risky ways to increase the activities of daily living in older adults. The study findings suggested that group movie therapy could play an impotent role in improving the performance of instrumental activities of daily living, such as shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, and minor home repairs.
