Summary

Objective No. 1: Verify the short-term effectiveness of the Activation-Socialization Intervention Program on the experiences (emotionality, anxiety) and behavior (agitated behavior) of seniors in the experimental and control groups. Objective No. 2: Verify the long-term effectiveness of the Activation-Socialization Intervention Program on the experience (emotionality, anxiety) and behavior (agitated behavior) of seniors in the experimental and control groups.

Detailed description

The main question the project seeks to answer is: Are there significant differences in the degree of emotional experience- negative and positive emotional states-anxiety, and the occurrence of agitated behavior-aggressive, physically non-aggressive, and verbally agitated behavior-between the experimental group of older adults and the control group of older adults during the measurements (pretest measurement vs. retest measurement; pretest measurement vs. retest measurement II; retest measurement vs. retest measurement II)? Researchers will compare the experimental group (older adults participating in the A-S IP program) with the control group (older adults not participating in the intervention) to assess the impact on emotional states, anxiety, and agitated behavior. Participants will: * Participate in 45 activities based on three areas (Laughter therapy, Reminiscence therapy, and Intervention to stimulate of cognitive and social skills) * Engage in group activities for 5 weeks, with daily sessions scheduled for the morning and afternoon * Provide feedback on their experiences through surveys and questionnaires to assess their emotional states, anxiety and agitated behavior, and satisfaction with the intervention
