简要总结
To evaluate the effectiveness of a daily cognition training programme versus a traditional cognitive stimulation programme in cognitively unimpaired older adults on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality.
详细描述
The present study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of programmes that use everyday cognition for the assessment and intervention of healthy elderly people with the aim of maintaining or improving autonomy, compared to other programmes based on traditional cognitive stimulation, whose benefits do not generalise to significant improvements in everyday life. In addition, the investigators seek to relate how the presence of depression in older people impacts on everyday cognition, and therefore on the functionality of IADLs.

WORKING HYPOTHESIS AND MAIN OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED
-
WORKING HYPOTHESES
- Alternative hypothesis (H1): Everyday cognition training programmes are more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment.
- Null hypothesis (Ho): Everyday cognition training programmes are not more effective than traditional cognitive stimulation on cognitive function, emotional state, frailty and functionality in older adults without cognitive impairment.
In order to validate or disprove the main hypothesis, the following objectives have been developed: 2. OBJECTIVES:

研究组 & 干预措施
traditional cognitive stimulation
The control group will carry out the programme based on traditional cognitive stimulation. Individual cognitive skills such as attention, memory, executive functions, orientation, praxis, calculation, visual perception and reasoning will be trained. The materials and media used will be a cognitive stimulation notebook created for the study which includes cards in printed paper format to be completed by the participants.
干预措施: traditional cognitive stimulation (Other)
programme based on everyday cognition
The experimental group, on the other hand, will carry out a programme based on everyday cognition, i.e. the use of cognitive functions to solve real everyday problems that occur in our daily lives and that allow us to be autonomous in our homes, such as preparing food, taking care of the house, using transport, shopping, using the telephone, medication, financial management and access to information and current affairs. As material for use as for the traditional cognitive stimulation sessions, a training booklet on everyday cognition has been created which includes all the sessions mentioned above.

结局指标
主要结局
Everyday cognition.
时间窗: 35 minutes
The Test for the Assessment of Everyday Cognition measures the ability of older people to solve everyday problems through performance tasks whose resolution depends on their cognitive capacity. The abilities tested are planning ability and cognitive flexibility, verbal working memory, reasoning, episodic memory, episodic memory and crystallised intelligence. The result is a direct estimation of the person's functional capacity by means of 12 real situations grouped into 6 areas: medication, administrative management, financial management, meal preparation, transport and shopping. The administration time is about 35 minutes.
