Brief Summary

Cognitive intervention for people with subjective cognitive complaints can be categorized into cognitive training, cognitive rehabilitation, psychoeducation, lifestyle intervention, etc. Literature have suggested multicomponent cognitive interventions can have better outcomes. However, studies to support this proposition are still limited. Few studies have also examined the influences of cognitive intervention on functional performance. This study was to examine the effectiveness of a multicomponent cognitive intervention for community-dwelling elderly with subjective cognitive complaints.

EXPERIMENTAL

a 12 consecutive 90-minute weekly cognitive groups that included cognitive training and rehabilitation, with activity-based cognitive exercises and discussions with a focus on applications of cognitive strategies in daily lives.

Behavioral: cognitive intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control was adopted in a senior center. The intervention for control group was a 12 consecutive 90-minute weekly nutritional groups that included nutrition classes (lecture and discussion).

Model Details: A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control was adopted in a senior center. Experimental variable was a 12 consecutive 90-minute weekly cognitive groups that included cognitive training and rehabilitation, with activity-based cognitive exercises and discussions with a focus on applications of cognitive strategies in daily lives. Participants were allocated into intervention group (cognitive intervention group) and control group (nutrition education group). The group assignment depended on what group they signed up for participate.
