简要总结
One innovative approach uses puzzle game strategies, including crosswords, Sudoku, and other brain-teasing activities. These strategies have been shown to help maintain attention, improve memory, and keep older adults' thoughts clear and sharp. Additionally, engaging in these activities can provide psychological benefits by offering a sense of achievement, reducing stress, and fostering social interactions.
详细描述
Cognitive abilities naturally decline as people age, one factor leading to deteriorating psychological health among older adults. Therefore, it is crucial to develop interventions to enhance this population's cognitive abilities and psychological well-being through non-pharmacological complementary treatments. Such interventions should focus on improving these symptoms while replacing traditional therapies.

Given puzzle games' potential to enhance cognitive and psychological health, exploring their effectiveness as a non-pharmacological intervention for community-dwelling older adults is essential. This research aims to fill the gap by empirically investigating the impact of puzzle game strategies on cognitive functioning and psychological well-being in this demographic.
