An intervention study using a single-case AB design was conducted in three subjects in NHs. During the non-intervention phase, participants underwent follow-up assessments, and during the intervention phase, they participated in an MNPI. The ABC Dementia Scale (which concurrently assesses ADLs [\"A\"], BPSDs [\"B\"], and cognitive function [\"C\"]) was used for the assessment.
One of the three patients showed improvement in dementia severity, global cognitive function, ADLs, and BPSDs. However, the other two participants showed no improvement following the MNPI, although the possibility of a maintenance effect remained.
Although there is room for improvement of the MNPI, it may be effective in maintaining and improving cognitive function, ADLs, and BPSD, in PWD in NHs.

在NHs的三名受试者中进行了使用单病例AB设计的干预研究。在非干预阶段,参与者接受了后续评估,在干预阶段,他们参加了MNPI。ABC痴呆症量表(同时评估ADL[\“A\”],BPSD[\"B\"],和认知功能[\“C\”])用于评估。
三位患者中的一位表现出痴呆严重程度的改善,全局认知功能,ADLs,和BPSD。然而,另外两名参与者在MNPI之后没有任何改善,虽然维持效果的可能性仍然存在。
虽然MNPI还有改进的空间,它可以有效地维持和改善认知功能,ADLs,和BPSD,在NHs的PWD中。
