Cognitive stimulation activities for older adults are generally carried out in face-to-face workshops. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, these activities and consultations became remote due to social isolation, enabling care to continue safely. This study aims to analyze the remote cognitive stimulation and/or telerehabilitation activities for older people that were carried out as an intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a systematic review study with five selected articles, conducted according to the PRISMA statement methodology. Among the main results, the feasibility and acceptance of remote cognitive stimulation activities using technologies during the pandemic stand out, reflecting on future and expanded use for different realities and cultures. the studies reviewed also indicate the stabilization and improvement of the cognitive state and of depressive and anxious feelings, as well as the maintenance of independence of these participants, with an increase in scores on scales applied before and after the interventions. In conclusion, the activities carried out in cognitive stimulation and/or telerehabilitation therapies for older adults as an intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic had an average of 47 participants; the technologies used for the activities were tablet and personal computer; pre-installed programs were the most used strategy; and the interventions lasted from 1 to 3 months, with activities 2 to 3 times per week. The reinvention of techniques aimed at stimulating and rehabilitating the cognitive health of the older adults, via technologies as a strategy to replace or complement face-to-face activities, promotes the cognitive and mental health and independence of the older population.
老年人认知刺激活动通常在面对面的研讨会上进行。然而，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，由于社会隔离，这些活动和咨询变成了远程形式，从而能够安全地继续进行护理。本研究旨在分析在 COVID-19 大流行期间作为干预措施而进行的远程老年人认知刺激和/或远程康复活动。这是一项系统评价研究，共纳入了 5 篇选定的文章，按照 PRISMA 声明方法进行。在主要结果中，突出了在大流行期间使用技术进行远程认知刺激活动的可行性和可接受性，这反映了未来在不同现实和文化中更广泛地使用这些技术。综述的研究还表明，认知状态以及抑郁和焦虑感的稳定和改善，以及这些参与者的独立性得以维持，干预前后应用的量表评分增加。总之，在 COVID-19 大流行期间作为干预措施对老年人进行的认知刺激和/或远程康复治疗活动的平均参与者人数为 47 人；用于活动的技术是平板电脑和个人计算机；预安装的程序是最常用的策略；干预时间从 1 到 3 个月不等，活动每周进行 2 到 3 次。通过技术对老年人认知健康进行刺激和康复的技术的重新发明，作为替代或补充面对面活动的策略，促进了老年人群体的认知和心理健康以及独立性。
