Early detection and intervention in individuals in the pre-clinical stage of dementia are crucial. This study aimed to examine whether there are significant differences in (1) word retrieval, (2) subjective communication ability, (3) intervention satisfaction through the 'Fill-in-the-blanks in editorial and newspaper articles' training in patients with subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment corresponding to the pre-clinical stage of dementia. Ninety-nine patients (50 in the intervention group and 49 in the control group) aged 50-84 years were administered pre- and post-test after 6 weeks of intervention (30 sessions). Regarding word retrieval, there were significant intervention effects on confrontation naming, semantic fluency, and phonemic fluency. The majority of participants in the intervention group were highly satisfied with the training. In terms of intervention satisfaction, the majority of the participants in the intervention group showed high satisfaction with all the questions. This result confirmed the improvement of word retrieval ability through mass communication content-based 'Fill-in-the-blanks' training, and ultimately helps to provide a clinical basis for applying this intervention to prevent dementia.
在痴呆症临床前阶段对个体进行早期检测和干预至关重要。本研究旨在探讨在与痴呆症临床前阶段相对应的主观认知下降和轻度认知障碍患者中，通过“编辑和报纸文章填空”训练，在（1）单词检索、（2）主观沟通能力、（3）干预满意度方面是否存在显著差异。99名年龄在50 - 84岁的患者（干预组50名，对照组49名）在经过6周（30次疗程）的干预后接受了前后测试。在单词检索方面，对实物命名、语义流畅性和音素流畅性有显著的干预效果。干预组的大多数参与者对训练高度满意。在干预满意度方面，干预组的大多数参与者对所有问题都表现出高度满意。这一结果证实了通过基于大众传播内容的“填空”训练可提高单词检索能力，最终有助于为应用这种干预措施预防痴呆症提供临床依据。
