研究概览
简要总结
Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the psychometric qualities of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) version 8.x in Greek, including the MoCA-MIS. We intend to examine the tool's reliability (internal consistency, test-retest reliability) and validity (construct validity, concurrent validity, and known-group validity).
Aim: The findings will support the tool's application for early cognitive impairment identification in clinical and research settings.
详细描述
MoCA is an increasingly common instrument used for cognitive assessment globally. Version 8.x has been translated into Greek, however a validation is of great importance. The participants of this study will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the 3rd Department of Psychiatry School of Medicine, General University Hospital of Thessaloniki "AHEPA".
The Greek version of MoCA 8.x will be used to evaluate the participants with an analogous cognitive test, such as Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) and the M-ACE.
Within 4 weeks, the MoCA will be administered again to a subgroup again in order to evaluate the tool's test-retest reliability. In addition to internal consistency, construct validity (as measured by factor analysis), concurrent validity (correlation with existing tools), and known-group validity (comparing scores between cognitively healthy individuals and those with MCI or dementia), known-group validity will also be evaluated.
Study Type and Time Frames:
Observational Model: Cohort Cross-sectional with a short-timed phase (test-retest). The study is estimated to be completed withing a year's period.
