Abstract
An initial review of the literature shows that healthcare providers are now implementing the Montessori approach in adult dementia and palliative care units. This literature highlights that the Montessori approach in these units is effective in assessing and improving patients’ cognitive, motor, and sensory functioning as well as their social skills (Hanna, Donnelly, & Aggar, 2018). It also suggests that the approach has positive impacts on clinicians’ engagement and compassion with patients as well as decreases both clinicians’ and caregivers’ risks of burnout (Judge, Camp, & Orsulic-Jeras, 2000). However, prior to implementing and evaluating this approach in other adult and pediatric healthcare settings, it is important for researchers to understand the existing literature on its use, outcomes, and impacts in healthcare.
The Montessori approach in adult dementia and palliative care units improves patients' cognitive, motor, and sensory functioning, and reduces clinicians' and caregivers' burnout risks.
