What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Cosmetic therapyBehavioural
The cosmetic therapy in this study is once a week, 60 minutes each section for a total of 6-week. Cosmetic therapy uses the teaching materials to teach the subjects skincare and makeup operation steps and use the 10-minute limb stretching to relax their minds before the activity, and then lead the research subjects to use cotton pads to apply lotion and lotion. , female subjects used powder, eyebrow pencil, and lipstick (or lip balm) to complete weekly different-themed activities and hairstyling, while men performed weekly different theme activities and hairstyling.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | The experimental group received 6-week cosmetic therapy. Receives: Behavioral: Cosmetic therapy |
| Control group | No intervention | The control group maintains the institution's original daily routine care. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Geriatric Depression Scale short-form (GDS-SF)
Geriatric Depression Scale short-form is a 15-item scale; each item on this scale uses a " Yes/ NO" answer method, and the scoring method is 1 point and 0 points. The total score ranges from 0 to 15, with less than 5 indicating no depression symptoms, 5 to 9 indicating mild depression, greater than or equal to 10 indicating moderate to severe depression.
Measured: Pre-test before cosmetic therapy intervention and post-test at the end of six-week cosmetic therapy
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Chinese version)
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Chinese version) is a 10-item scale that measures the respondent's self-esteem. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree); the minimum and maximum scores on the scale are 10 and 40, with lower scores suggesting better self-esteem.
Measured: Pre-test before cosmetic therapy intervention and post-test at the end of six-week cosmetic therapy
