Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To provide care without exacerbating behavioral and psychological problems and preventing functional decline, a multi-component, cognitive training program was designed. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of this multi-component, cognitive training program in day care centers for elderly people with dementia to prevent cognitive function decline, self-care abilities decline, and behavior problems or the development of depressive moods.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of this multi-component, cognitive training program in day care centers for elderly people with dementia to prevent cognitive function decline, self-care abilities decline, and behavior problems or the development of depressive moods. This study was a 4-month cluster-randomized controlled trail. Participants who met sample selection criteria were recruited and assigned to either the experimental group or the comparison group, depending on the day-care center they attended. Subjects in the experimental group were received with the multi-component, cognitive training program (MCCTP) via research assistants (RAs) and caregivers of day care center for 8 weeks, then provide by caregivers of day care center for 8 weeks, as well as RAs provided assistance for activity process.

A Culture-Based Multicomponent Cognitive Training Program

Intervention Type OTHER

Activities of the program were structured, cognitive, leisure activities based on Chinese and Taiwanese culture for cognitively impaired older people. Activities contained structured brain-exercise activities and musical activities. The structured brain-exercise activities included playing musical instruments or singing, playing board games, and classes in Chinese, sciences, sociology, physical education, cooking, and math. Chinese and Taiwanese cultures were included within the structured brain-exercise activities curriculum, such as food, clothing, architecture, places of interest, folklore, etiquette, celebrations, religion, art, etc. Participants began with a musical exercise, then had 20-30 minutes of physical exercise with 5 minutes of warm-up at the beginning and 5 minutes of cool down. The program was provided for at least 40-60 minutes, twice a week, for 8 weeks via RAs and day centre caregivers.

comparison group

Participants in the comparison group received these activities via two RAs and day care caregivers for 16 weeks.
