Core Tip	This study evaluated a comprehensive intervention combining narrative nursing with life review nursing, aiming to enhance dignity and alleviate depressive symptoms in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s disease. By guiding patients to recall life experiences and reconstruct positive life narratives, this approach showed significantly greater efficacy than standalone life review nursing. Results confirmed improved dignity and reduced depression, proving it a safe, feasible, patient-centered non-pharmacological method for clinical and community care.
