| Opplysninger | Reality Orientation (RO) was designed to reduse confusion and promote autonomy and happiness among institutionalized eldrely persons. Seriou methodological problems invalidate the results of most RO research. The few adequate studies available suggest that RO does sometimes help reduce confusion, but does not seem to oncrease autonomy or happiness among the elderly. More research is needed to define the population for whom RO is most appropriate, determine the effectiveness of different forms of RO, and explore possible alternative ways of reducing confusion while increasing life satisfaction among the institutionalized aged.
