Abstract
The purpose of this research was to verify the effect of the group life review implemented for senior citizens who were in a group home and 8 residents and 9 nursing care staff members participated in the evaluation. The results showed that after nine sessions, the scores of the resident observation record increased in all items from the first session, and N-ADL and NM Scale showed increases in many of the items after the review implementation. Furthermore, as residents repeated the sessions, their interaction with other residents changed to natural interactions with lively expressions. For nursing care staff members, evaluation scale values increased in many of the items after implementing the group life review which meant that staff members recognized many items as "accomplished" by holding the life review. Furthermore, the evaluation showed that staff members could put smiles on residents' faces and be thanked by their family members and that led to the sense of satisfaction and successful experience for the nursing care staff.
