In Taiwan, hand puppetry is tightly connected to religious belief, the relationship between man and god, economic development, and the value of cultural heritage. When people reminisce through hand puppetry, what they recall is not only the story content but is also related to their temporal and spatial background, religious feelings, their childhood experiences, and the economic aspects of their lives. For older adults, those are not only shared memories but also represent a precious past time. By using hand puppets to trigger older adults to tell their life stories and to have them comment on the meaning of life, this study used reminiscence therapy to assist older adults in reevaluating the meaning of their lives in an attempt to help older adults to achieve a more coherent life. This study was conducted in a community in Chiayi County, Taiwan. After the intervention involving a reminiscence program that employed hand puppetry, individual interviews were conducted with participants of the experimental group to review the effectiveness of the program. A total of ten group activity interventions were held once a week with each meeting lasting for two hours. The results demonstrated the effects of a reminiscence program using hand puppetry which was introduced to older adults. The participants identified their childhood memories, prayers for safety, and gave feedback and described rewards experienced during their lives that they related to the meaning of their lives. The results of this study may serve as a practical reference for long-term caregivers or community workers using a reminiscence program to introduce activities and topics.
