简要总结
This intervention is designed to promote enhanced use of compensation strategies including calendar and task list use, and organization systems, as well as increased engagement with brain health activities including physical exercise, cognitive activities, and stress reduction.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of a 10-week multi-dimensional intervention for older adults with subjective cognitive concerns (SCC). The goal of this intervention is to enhance compensation skills related to everyday executive and everyday memory functions through training in the systematic use of a calendar system, goal setting and task list system, and organizational strategies within the context of the individual's daily life. This multidimensional intervention program also targets engagement in healthy lifestyle activities (physical exercise, intellectual stimulation, positive emotional functioning) to further promote brain health and functional resilience. Importantly, both treatment components work synergistically as the use of compensation strategies assists in building healthy activities into daily routines (e.g., scheduling exercise into one's calendar and putting it on a task list).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in compensation use
时间窗: baseline and 6 months follow up
Measured using the Everyday Compensation Questionnaire, a 54-item self-report questionnaire that asks participants how often they engage in a variety of activities that help them stay cognitively and physically active.
Change in cognition
时间窗: baseline and 6 months follow up
Measured using the Everyday Cognition (ECog) scale, a self-rated questionnaire of cognitively-based everyday abilities. The ECog comprises of 39 items on which the participant's current level of everyday functioning is compared to 10 years earlier. Items are rated on a four-point scale: 1= better or no change compared to 10 years earlier; 4= consistently much worse. Higher scores indicate greater functional limitations.
次要结局
- Psychomotor Speed Task(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
- Beck Depression Inventory(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
- List learning task(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
- GRIT(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
- Beck Anxiety Inventory(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
- Executive function task(baseline, immediately after intervention, and 3 and 6 month follow-up visits)
