CAT: Geriatric Frustration During Speech Session
Overview
Given that geriatric patients may get frustrated when working on their impairments in therapy, the SLP must be able to alleviate their frustration within the session to allow for the most efficient and practical sessions. It is hypothesized that geriatric patients, like children, would also benefit the most from games or from a conversation that is unrelated to therapy; however, games will likely be more beneficial for alleviating stress due to games being able to distract the client from the therapy session better than conversation can. This research would ask the following question: Are games more effective in alleviating frustration for geriatric patients during therapy sessions than conversations unrelated to therapy?
