Finding and conclusion 1
Residents in the RIG reported significantly greater increases in happiness after the experimental treatment than CG residents. In the RIG 48% of the residents reported feeling happier, compared with only 25% of the residents in the CG.
This suggests that enhanced control improves happiness levels, it could also suggest a lack of perceived control decreases happiness.
Finding and conclusion 2
Residents in the RIG reported themselves to be significantly more active after the experimental treatment than did residents in the CG. For example, the RIG showed increases in the proportion of time spent visiting other patients, visiting people from outside the home, and talking to the staff. Residents in the RIG spent less time engaging in passive activities, such as watching the staff, reading and watching television. The only measure where improvement was greater for the CG than the RIG was watching staff a passive activity.
This suggests that enhanced control increases our activity level; it could also suggest that a lack of perceived control also decreases activity and makes us engage more in passive activities.
Finding and conclusion 3
Residents in the RIG were rated as having greater increases in their levels of
alertness than were residents in the CG.
This suggests that an enhanced control benefits alertness.
Finding and conclusion 4
Questions that were related to perceived control showed no significantly greater increase for the RIG, however, 20% indicated that they didnt understand what control meant.
This suggests that the residents themselves did not overtly see any increase in the control they have over their situation, but we should be cautious about our conclusions because the residents were not sure what control meant.
Finding and conclusion 5
Nurses ratings for each resident showed a positive average total change score of 3.97 for the RIG, compared with a negative average total change score of 2.39 for the CG. The difference between these mean scores is highly significant. Of the residents in the RIG, 93% were considered to have improved
(i.e. all but one resident), compared with only 21% of the CG (six residents). This suggests that enhanced control led to generally positive changes whereas lack of control led to negative effects (as distinct from staying the same).
Finding and conclusion 6
Film night attendance and participation in the jelly bean guessing competition was significantly higher in the RIG.
Behavioural measures also indicate that enhanced control seemed to enhance participation, whereas reduced control caused a decline in participation.
Finding and Conclusion 7
The strongest supporting evidence to support the experimental hypothesis is the significant difference in the average total change score of 3.97 for the RIG, compared with a negative average total change score of 2.39 for the CG.
