Abstract：Objective:To define the concept of reminiscence therapy through Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),WanFang Database,VIP,China Biology Medicine Disc,PubMed,EMbase,CINAHL,and PsycINFO databases were retrieved.The concept analysis was conducted by using the Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis as guiding framework.Results:A total of 34 literature published from 1963 to 2021 was included,whose main research areas were psychology,nursing,humanities,and social work.Reminiscence therapy had 7 related concepts(reminiscence,notalgia,autobiographical memory,oral history,narrative therapy,dignity therapy,life story work),3 attributes,and 3 antecedents.There were differences in the outcomes among different types of reminiscence therapy interventions.Conclusions:Clarifying relevant concepts,attributes,antecedents,and outcomes are beneficial for clinical practitioners to design and implement reminiscence therapy,reduce conceptual misuse,and lay the foundation for the development of standardized and innovative reminiscence therapy.
