1 Care at 360ยบ: A Long-term Individual Cognitive Stimulation Program for Older Adults With Neurocognitive Disorders, Non-Institutionalized and Socially Vulnerable

The aim of the intervention proposed in the present study is to assess the effect of a cognitive stimulation (CS) intervention program in an individual and long-term format, for non-institutionalized elderly people with neurocognitive disorders and in a situation of social vulnerability. Specifically, to test the effectiveness of CS on the global cognitive state, on mood state, on quality of life and on functional state. The program will be composed by 50 sessions, including three of assessment sessions (pre, intra and post-intervention). Each session will have a duration of 45 minutes with a weekly frequency. Control group participants will maintain their treatment as usual.

Primary Outcomes

Description: Significant statistic improvement in the participant's test scores between pre-intervention, intra-intervention and postintervention assessments. Mini-Mental State Examination is a brief screening test for cognitive function. Assesses 6 cognitive functions: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, language and visuoconstructive ability. Global score ranges from 0-30 points, higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

Measure: Cognitive state evaluated through Mini-Mental State Examination

Description: It's a 32-item mild cognitive impairment screening instrument that assesses eight cognitive functions: visuospatial/executive, naming, memory, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall and orientation. Montreal Cognitive Assessment score is calculated by adding the points of the tasks successfully completed, and it ranges from 0 to 30 points, being that higher scores indicate better cognitive performance.

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Significant statistic improvement in the participant's test scores between pre-intervention, intra-intervention and postintervention assessments. Geriatric Depression Scale -15 is a screening test for depressive symptoms in elderly adults. Assesses depression in the elderly by distinguishing between depressive and dementia symptoms. This instrument does not include somatic conditions common to the elderly, such as appetite, sleep or sexual disturbances, or lower energy level. The overall score ranges from 0 to 15. The higher the score, the greater the severity of the depressive symptoms.

Description: Significant statistic improvement in the participant's test scores between pre-intervention assessment and postintervention assessment. Quality of Life - Alzheimer's Disease is an instrument to assess quality of life in people diagnosed with dementia, gathering information from the patient and the caregiver. It is composed by 13 items regarding perception of health, mood, functional abilities, interpersonal relationships and hobbies, decision making ability and life in general. It has good psychometric characteristics and it's use has been recommended to evaluate psychosocial interventions. Scores range between 13 - 52 points. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

Description: It's an instrument that assesses the independence level of the elderly people regarding IADL's. A score is assigned according to the person's ability to perform a given task. A set of three, four or five options is suggested for each question, which is scored from 1 to 3, 1 to 4 or 1 to 5 points. The highest score corresponds to a greater degree of dependency. If a task does not apply because the person did not perform it in the pre-morbid period, the score for that task is not included in the total score, that is, the maximum possible score includes only the maximum scores of the tasks that the person performed. The score ranges from 8 to 30 points (a score of 8 points means that th person is independent; between 9 and 20 points means a moderate dependency; greater than 20 points means severe dependency).

Measure: Functional status is assessed using the Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living.
