Abstract
Alzheimers disease poses significant challenges in maintaining cognitive function and meaningful engagement for affected individuals. Nurses play a crucial role in promoting cognitive stimulation and engagement through innovative interventions. This review explores creative approaches and activities that nurses can implement to enhance cognitive function, engagement, and meaningful interaction among Alzheimers patients. Key strategies include reminiscence therapy, multisensory stimulation, art and music therapy, therapeutic recreation, and technology-assisted interventions. By incorporating these innovative nursing interventions into practice, healthcare professionals can improve the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimers disease.
