The current research study examined whether or not geriatric patients diagnosed with dementia could decrease their anxiety levels with Snoezelen treatment, a form of multisensory treatment utilizing nature sounds, fiber-optic lighting, tactile boards, and aromatherapy. Anxiety experienced by geriatric patients with dementia continues to be problematic today due to increasing life expectancies. The theoretical orientation in this study was cognitive in nature, as the main research question addressed whether Snoezelen cart treatment was effective in reducing anxiety as measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Previous research on the effectiveness of Snoezelen treatment for dementia patients has yielded inconclusive post session effects. This was often due to unreliable measurement scales, subjective self-reporting, lack of a control group and small sample sizes. An important gap found in the current literature concerns Snoezelen treatment being provided on a cart. Therefore, the purpose of this research study was to determine if anxiety experienced by dementia patients could be significantly reduced by utilizing an adequate sample size and a control group to measure posttreatment effect through the use of a Snoezelen cart. Eighty-four geriatric patients participated in this controlled study incorporating a quantitative pre-post intervention design. Data analytic procedures involved one repeated-measure ANOVA and four specific t tests. The findings in this study indicated Snoezelen treatment is highly effective in the reduction of anxiety in patients diagnosed with dementia. It is recommended that clinical providers begin using Snoezelen treatments, as this would enhance social change initiatives by improving the quality of life not only for dementia patients by reducing their anxiety, but also improving the lives of the caretakers and families of those with dementia.
