Official title
Cog-Fun Ageing Participation-centered, Health Promotion for Older Adult
Overview
The goal of this feasibility study is to test the feasibility of a group intervention program based on health management principles for older adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD). SCD is a condition where individuals feel that their memory is worsening, although standard tests do not detect it. This perceived memory decline can lead to negative feelings and self-perception, causing people to withdraw from meaningful activities. This study aims to answer three main questions: 1. Is the intervention feasible in terms of fidelity, adherence, and participant satisfaction? 2. Are the assessments used sensitive enough to identify the unique challenges faced by the SCD population and detect changes after the intervention? 3. What are the preliminary effects of the intervention on participants' perceptions of how SCD affects their daily life, mental health, and quality of life? Participants will: 1. Take part in 14 weekly group sessions focused on managing the challenges of living with SCD and improving participation in daily activities. 2. Complete assessments before and after the intervention to measure their satisfaction with the program, and track changes in their perceptions of daily life, mental health, and quality of life.
