This preliminary study aimed to compare the outcomes of an occupational therapist-led and a nurse-led computerized cognitive training (CCT) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults.
A single-blind randomized controlled trial was performed.
Participants 65 years of age and older with MCI were randomly assigned to a group led by an occupational therapist or by a nurse. Both groups received CCT for 4 weeks.
Six participants in the occupational therapist-led group and nine in the nurse-led group completed CCT. The nurse-led group showed significant improvement in scores on the Seoul Verbal Learning Test-Elderly's version immediate recall scores (p = .030) and the Korean-Boston Naming Test (p = .012).
Nurse-led CCT demonstrated improvement in some language and memory areas in older adults with MCI.
This study supports the idea of educating nurses to use a CCT program for treating older adults with MCI to improve their cognitive function.
本初步研究旨在比较职业治疗师主导和护士主导的计算机化认知训练(CCT)对老年人轻度认知障碍(MCI)的治疗效果。
进行了一项单盲随机对照试验。
65岁及以上的MCI参与者被随机分配到由职业治疗师或护士主导的组。两组均接受4周的CCT。
职业治疗师主导组有6名参与者完成了CCT,护士主导组有9名参与者完成了CCT。护士主导组在首尔言语学习测验-老年人版即时回忆分数(p = .030)和韩国-波士顿命名测验(p = .012)上的得分有显著提高。
护士主导的CCT在患有MCI的老年人的某些语言和记忆领域显示出改善。
本研究支持对护士进行培训,使其使用CCT计划来治疗患有MCI的老年人以改善其认知功能这一观点。
