Brief Summary

The present study aims to determine the effect of cognitive stimulation interventions on cognitive self-efficacy and sense of happiness among older adults. Research hypothesis: Older adults who receive the cognitive stimulation interventions exhibit higher cognitive self-efficacy and sense of happiness than those who do not receive it.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• I) Mini-Mental State Examination (MMS) Scale

  The MMS scale was developed by Folestein et al., (1975). It used to assess cognitive function of the older adults. It contained questions concerning registration, orientation, calculation, recall, attention, and language. The MMS scale score was 30 point and classified as follows: -30. -23. -17. The MMS was translated into Arabic and approved to be valid and reliable (r=0.96) by El Husseini (2008). The Arabic version of this scale was used in the present study.

Cognitive Stimulating Interventions

EXPERIMENTAL

The study interventions will be developed by the researchers based on review of the related literature and with reference to the CST manual (Spector, et al., 2006), and review on Cognitive Stimulation (Woods et al., 2012). The study subjects of group 1, the study group, will receive the proposed interventions, the cognitive stimulation interventions through small groups of study subjects receiving 12 sessions of group activities (2 sessions/week, approximately 45- 60 minutes/session). A group size of 6 to 8 will be conducted. The interventions group will be conducted in activity rooms within the elderl club. The study subjects group 2, the control group, will receive the routine activities of the elderly club. The researchers will provide the control group with written materials related the essential cognitive stimulation interventions after ending the implementation of the proposed interventions for the study group.
