Effects of a Daily Cognition Training in Older Adults Without Cognitive Impairment
Effects of a Daily Cognition Training Programme on Cognitive Function, Emotional State, Frailty and Functionality in Older Adults Without Cognitive Impairment
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The present study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of programmes that use everyday cognition for the assessment and intervention of healthy elderly people with the aim of maintaining or improving autonomy, compared to other programmes based on traditional cognitive stimulation, whose benefits do not generalise to significant improvements in everyday life. In addition, the investigators seek to relate how the presence of depression in older people impacts on everyday cognition, and therefore on the functionality of IADLs.
2. WORKING HYPOTHESIS AND MAIN OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED
WORKING HYPOTHESES
- Alternative hypothesis (H1): Everyday cognition training programmes are more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment.
- Null hypothesis (Ho): Everyday cognition training programmes are not more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment.
In order to validate or disprove the main hypothesis, the following objectives have been developed:
- OBJECTIVES:
i. MAIN OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a daily cognition training programme versus a traditional cognitive stimulation programme in older adults without cognitive impairment, for cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality.
ii. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
- To compare the differences in the emotional state of older adults without cognitive impairment between the everyday cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation.
- To contrast the differences in the cognitive function of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation.
- To analyse the differences in the frailty index of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation.
- To identify the differences in the functionality of older adults without cognitive impairment between the daily cognition training programme and traditional cognitive stimulation.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: traditional cognitive stimulation
The control group will carry out the programme based on traditional cognitive stimulation.
Individual cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive functions, orientation, praxis, calculation, visual perception and reasoning will be trained.
The materials and media used will be a cognitive stimulation notebook created for the study which includes cards in printed paper format to be completed by the participants.

Experimental: programme based on everyday cognition
The experimental group, on the other hand, will carry out a programme based on everyday cognition, i.e. the use of cognitive functions to solve real everyday problems that occur in our daily lives and that allow us to be autonomous in our homes, such as preparing food, taking care of the house, using transport, shopping, using the telephone, medication, financial management and access to information and current affairs.
As material for use as for the traditional cognitive stimulation sessions, a training booklet on everyday cognition has been created which includes all the sessions mentioned above.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Everyday cognition.
Time Frame: 35 minutes
|
The Test for the Assessment of Everyday Cognition measures the ability of older people to solve everyday problems through performance tasks whose resolution depends on their cognitive capacity.
The abilities tested are planning ability and cognitive flexibility, verbal working memory, reasoning, episodic memory, episodic memory and crystallised intelligence.
The result is a direct estimation of the person's functional capacity by means of 12 real situations grouped into 6 areas: medication, administrative management, financial management, meal preparation, transport and shopping.
The administration time is about 35 minutes.

Cognitive function.
Time Frame: 10 minutes
|
MONTREAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT TEST (MoCA test) Versión 8.3.
:It is a cognitive assessment tool created to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
It evaluates executive functions, attention, abstraction, memory, language, visual-constructive abilities, calculation and orientation.
It takes approximately 10 minutes to administer.
The maximum score is 30 points, below 26 points being the cut-off for MCI (in developed countries).

Emotional state.
Time Frame: 10minutes
|
Yesavage: It is a screening questionnaire for depression in people over 65 years of age.
The 15-item version was selected for this study.
It expresses the degree of satisfaction, quality of life and feelings.
Of the 15 items, 10 indicate the presence of depression if answered positively, while the remaining 5 items answered negatively indicate depression.
The administration time is 5 minutes.
A score above 5 shows moderate depression and above 10 severe depression.

Instrumental activities of daily living
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
LAWTON AND BRODY SCALE: This is an assessment designed to evaluate autonomy in IADLs in the elderly population.
It consists of eight items: use of the telephone, shopping, meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, transport, medication management, use of transport and money.
It takes 4 minutes to administer and is scored 0 or 1 for each item, making a total score of 8.
At present, it is influenced by a gender bias as it is more sensitive to women than men (many of the activities have been performed only by women throughout history).

Functionality.
Time Frame: 15 minutes
|
FUNCTIONAL INDEPENDENCE MEASURE (FIM): This is a tool created to measure the level of functionality and assistance given by the caregiver.
It assesses the activities of daily living subdivided into two dimensions: the motor dimension; which assesses self-care (feeding, personal grooming, bathing, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, perineal grooming), sphincter control (bladder and bowel), transfers (to and from the chair or wheelchair, transfer in the bathroom, bath or shower) and locomotion (walking or moving around in a wheelchair, going up or down stairs).
And cognitive; which assesses communication (comprehension, expression) and social knowledge (social interaction, problem solving and memory).
Each of the 18 items has a maximum score of 7 and a minimum score of 1, making a total of 126.
|
15 minutes
|
Fragility.
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
FRAILTY SCALE: This is an assessment designed to quantitatively measure frailty in geriatric patients.
It consists of 5 questions on real-life situations in which some frailty may affect quality of life.
The maximum score is 5 points.
