The German Prevention Act mandated long-term care insurance funds to support long-term care facilities in designing health-promoting structures. One area of action is the promotion of the cognitive resources of nursing home residents. The objective of this systematic review was to describe and analyze interventions and intervention components that improve cognitive resources of nursing home residents.First, we conducted a search for systematic reviews to identify relevant randomised controlled trials in Medline via PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Gerolit, Embase, Psyndex, and Livivo; additional sources were hand-searched. Second, references of all relevant randomized controlled trials (n=43) were extracted from the identified systematic reviews (n=26). The original articles of the primary studies included were then considered and data extracted using criteria for the evaluation of complex interventions. The quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach.Nine interventions to promote cognitive resources were identified: cognitive stimulation, cognitive training, physical training, art and music interventions, bright light, multicomponent stimulation, multisensory stimulation, care staff training and reminiscence. The quality of the underlying evidence in the inpatient long-term care setting was predominantly low, therefore, it was not always possible to draw clear conclusions regarding the efficacy of the interventions. The low quality of evidence was mainly due to the high heterogeneity as well as the low number and limited methodological quality of the primary studies.In general, a wide range of nonpharmacological interventions were reported. Due to the limited evidence, however, these may be regarded as ideas only or possible options for promoting the cognitive resources of nursing home residents.
