Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-session multicomponent intervention to improve the cognitive abilities of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) through the promotion of healthy lifestyle, cognitive skills, tai chi, and mindfulness exercises delivered by a social worker 6 months after the intervention. Method: This study was a 6-month follow-up of a pilot randomized controlled trial of 57 community-dwelling older adults who were randomly assigned to either a multicomponent intervention group ( n = 30) or a non-active control group ( n = 27). Results: Repeated measures of a mixed linear model showed that the intervention group had significantly greater improvement in cognitive ability at post-intervention, 3 months and 6 months compared with the control group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the intervention effects of the multicomponent intervention to improve the cognitive abilities of older adults with MCI persisted up to 6 months post-intervention.

多组分干预改善认知障碍：6个月随访的随机对照试验

目的：本研究的目的是评估一项16期多成分干预的效果，通过促进健康的生活方式，认知技能，太极和正念练习，由一名社会工作者在干预6个月后提供，以改善轻度认知障碍（MCI）老年人的认知能力。方法：本研究对57名居住在社区的老年人进行了为期6个月的随机对照试验，这些老年人被随机分配到多组分干预组（n = 30）和非活动对照组（n = 27）。结果：混合线性模型的重复测量显示，干预组在干预后、3个月和6个月的认知能力改善明显大于对照组。结论：本研究表明，多组分干预对老年MCI患者认知能力的改善作用持续至干预后6个月。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
