Investigation of the Effect Of Green Walking and Intelligence Games on the Cognitive Skills of Individuals Between the Ages of 50-70 Survived COVID-19 Disease

The randomized controlled study to examine the effects of green walking and intelligence games on the cognitive skills of individuals aged 50-70 years who had COVID-19 on an outpatient basis were completed with 40 individuals, 20 of which were in the green walking and intelligence game group and 20 were in the control group.

Detailed Description

The data were collected in Erzincan Tercan State Hospital between January-May 2022, "Patient Information Form," "Montreal Cognitive Assessment Implementation Guideline," "Brain Games (Brain Games-Memory Thinking and Brain Exercise) Information Leaflet," "Hiking Information Brochure," and "Experimental Group Follow-up Form" by the "Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale" applied as a pre-test. As an initiative, the green walking and intelligence game group was given a 30-minute nature walk three days a week for a month and a 15-minute intelligence game practice every day. Then, the "Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale" was applied as a post-test.

IPD Plan Description

Application of the Experimental Group Follow-up Form The nature of the individuals in the green walking and intelligence game group were recorded by the researcher on the Experiment Group Follow-up Form 12 times, three days a week, on the day of the trek. In addition, the situation of playing the intelligence game of this group of individuals is a test for each individual. In addition, the state of playing intelligence games of this group of individuals was recorded by the researcher in the Experimental Group Follow-up Form by making 30 phone calls, including once a day for a month, for each individual.
