Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can the current HOBSCOTCH program be adapted for people with PACS?
Will people with PACS experience improved quality of life similar to that found in people with epilepsy after participating in the HOBSCOTCH program?
Participants will be asked to:
* attend nine, one-hour virtual (online and/or by telephone) HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions with a one-on-one certified HOBSCOTCH-PACS coach
* complete a brief clinical questionnaire about their diagnosis of PACS
* complete seven questionnaires before and after the HOBSCOTCH-PACS sessions about their quality of life, memory and thinking processes (objective and subjective cognition), about their physical and mental health and about autonomic symptoms associated with their diagnosis of PACS
* keep a short daily diary (using a smart phone app or on paper) about their PACS symptoms and use of the self-management strategies taught in the HOBSCOTCH-PACS program
* complete two brief surveys to assess satisfaction with their experience after the entire HOBSCOTCH-PACS program

HOBSCOTCH-PACS
HOme-Based Self-management and COgnitive Training CHanges lives (HOBSCOTCH) HOBSCOTCH is a home-based self-management program to treat cognitive symptoms and improve quality of life, while minimizing the barriers of access to care. The program is based on Problem Solving Therapy (PST) and teaches problem solving strategies and compensatory mechanisms to help manage cognitive dysfunction and enhance quality of life. HOBSCOTCH-PD is an adaptation of the HOBSCOTCH program for people with PD and incorporates education about Parkinson Disease and cognition into the education module.
