초록

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a readily accessible multisensory cognitive training program for older adults with normal cognition and mild cognitive impairment.
Methods : This study was conducted with 105 elderly individuals who attended the G-Elderly Welfare Center in Cheongju-si for 12 weeks, from July to September 2023. The evaluation was conducted one-on-one by three occupational therapists with over 7 years of clinical experience. The assessmentincludedthe Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-DS), Korean CES-D Depression Scale, and Trail Making Test (TMT). After the initial evaluation and instruction on using the multisensory digital program, older adults with normal cognition participated in the cognitive training program twice a week at the G-Elderly Welfare Center. Moreover, elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment used the program at home. The final evaluation included 36 elderly individuals (26 with normal cognition and 10 with mild cognitive impairment, excluding 69 who withdrew from the study.)
Results : A statistically significant difference was observed in the MMSE-DS and TMT scores before and after using the program in the elderly group with normal cognition and mild cognitive impairments. However, the CES scores in both groups were not statistically significant.
Conclusion : Dementia outcomes can vary significantly depending on the motivation for participating in the program. Therefore, developing strategies that stimulate the interest of individuals and foster active participation motivation is essential. This can be achieved by organizing various programs to enhance the effectiveness of the intervention.
