Objective: This study investigated the effects of Playback Theatre on older adults’ cognitive function and well‐being, specifically in the Singapore context. Methods: Eighteen healthy older adults, older than 50 years of age, participated in the study. Due to practical limitations, a single‐group pre–post study design was adopted. Participants completed the outcome measures before and after the training program. There were six weekly sessions in total (about 1.5 hours, once weekly). Results: Participants experienced a significant improvement in their emotional well‐being after training. However, there were no significant changes in participants’ cognitive function or health‐related quality of life. Conclusion: Our results suggest that Playback Theatre as a community program has potential to improve the mental and emotional well‐being of older people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
