Objective: To investigate detailed benefits of people with dementia after cognitive stimulation therapy (CST), and to understand the impact on the mood of patients and caregivers, and to collect suggestions to the improvement of the therapy. Methods: Qualitative personal in-depth interviews were conducted with four caregivers who attended the CST with patients. Interviews were guided by a series of open questions. Data were recorded and transcribed, before being analyzed using Framework analysis. Results: Most of the caregivers reported improvements of daily communication of patients, cognitive function and activities of daily life. All caregivers reported mood improvements both of the patients and caregivers. Caregivers were satisfied with the arrangements of the therapy, but suggested communication methods during the therapy should be changed and caregivers should attend the therapy within limited boundary. All caregivers suggested CST should be carried out in communities to increase the accessibility of the treatments. Conclusion: CST can improve the cognitive function and activities of daily life of people with dementia in different domains and should be scaled up in communities.
