Official title
Development of a 'Community-Family Mutual Support' Intervention Model for Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment Based on Social Support Theory
Overview
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may increase the risk of dementia. This study will evaluate an 8-week community-family mutual support intervention for adults aged 60 years or older with MCI. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The control group will receive routine community care, while the intervention group will additionally receive cognitive training, health education, family support, mutual support activities, and individualized feedback. Cognitive function, daily functioning, emotional status, and social support will be assessed before and after the intervention.
Interventions
- Other Community-Family Mutual Support Intervention
Participants will receive an 8-week community-family mutual support intervention in addition to routine community care. Guided by social support theory, the program integrates informational, emotional, instrumental, and appraisal support. It includes MCI-related health education, cognitive training, physical activity guidance, emotional self-monitoring, home-based practice with family assistance, mutual support between paired families, group activities, and individualized feedback. The intervent - Other Routine Community Care
Participants will receive routine community care, including standard health education and usual community-based health services, during the 8-week study period. They will not receive the community-family mutual support intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in Cognitive Function Assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Change From Baseline in Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) Total Score [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks]
- Change From Baseline in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) Total Score [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks]
