Brief Summary

This study will examine whether among older adults social interaction functions in a home-based cognitive training program can better support adherence to training and reduce social isolation.

Conditions

Adherence, Treatment; Social Isolation

Keywords

Cognition; Adherence; Social isolation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Three-Item Loneliness Scale

  The Three-Item Loneliness Scale was developed by Hughes et al. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2394670/). The minimum value is 3. The maximum value is 9. Higher scores mean more loneliness.

  Assessed at baseline and at the end of the 2-months of training

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Adherence (session number)

  2 months

• Adherence (session length)

  2 months

• General Self-Efficacy (predictor of adherence)

  Assessed at baseline, predicting adherence variables over 2 months

• Perceived Training Efficacy (predictor of adherence)

  Assessed at baseline

• Self-Efficacy of Cognitive Training (predictor of adherence and training outcome)

  Assessed at baseline and at the end of the 2-months of training

Study Arms (1)

Cognitive Training with Social Function

EXPERIMENTAL

To promote adherence and reduce social isolation, participants will be asked to use home-based cognitive training program on a tablet for 30 minutes per day for 5 days a week for 1 month, then use it freely for another month. The cognitive training program has a chat function and a leadership board to allow interaction between participants.
