简要总结
This study investigates the effects of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based cognitive intervention on Quality of Life (QOL) and cognitive function among elderly residents with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in long-term care settings. The study assesses immediate and long-term impacts on cognitive function, psychological flexibility, social engagement, and overall well-being through structured ACT-based training.
详细描述
This clinical trial explores the impact of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based cognitive intervention on Quality of Life (QOL) and cognitive function in elderly residents with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) living in long-term care facilities. The intervention aims to promote psychological flexibility, which is a core process in ACT, and enhance the residents' ability to engage in meaningful activities despite cognitive limitations.
Participants will engage in structured ACT-based training sessions that include mindfulness exercises, values clarification, and commitment strategies designed to improve cognitive engagement, reduce emotional distress, and foster greater social connection. The study measures both the immediate effects following the intervention and the long-term benefits at follow-up periods to evaluate sustained improvements in cognitive performance, psychological resilience, social involvement, and overall well-being.
By focusing on cognitive and emotional strategies, the intervention seeks to empower elderly residents to live more fulfilling and value-driven lives, even in the face of cognitive decline associated with MCI.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Quality of Life as measured by the QOL-AD scale
时间窗: Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 6-month follow-up
Quality of Life will be assessed using the QOL-AD scale, a validated questionnaire for evaluating the quality of life in individuals with cognitive impairment. Changes in mean scores from baseline to each time point will be reported
Change in cognitive function as measured by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
时间窗: Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 6-month follow-up
Cognitive function will be evaluated using the MMSE, a widely used tool for cognitive assessment. Mean changes in scores from baseline to each time point will be analysed and reported
次要结局
- Psychological flexibility as measured by the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II)(Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 6-month follow-up)
- Social engagement as measured by a standardised engagement assessment tool(Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 6-month follow-up)
