Detailed Description:
This study aims to implement a SMART Program to promote cognitive health among patients with MCI, and the use of active mind strategy in preventing dementia among the older adults. The SMART Program consists of two components including, a community empowerment-educational campaign on active mind strategies for older adults, and a 24-week SUDOKU Training Programme for people with MCI.
The community empowerment-educational campaign will be conducted in the elderly care centres of the two collaborating non-governmental organizations, with the purpose of increasing the awareness of people aged 55 or above on the importance of maintaining an active mind and preventing age-related cognitive decline and dementia. The campaign will include cognitive screening, poster exhibition, booth exhibition and individual counselling.
The SUDOKU training program include a 12-week face-to-face training session and a 12-week facilitated self-practice. The face-to-face sessions aim at developing the skills of the participants in solving the SUDOKU using the T-code. The 12-week training program will be evenly divided into three modules of increasing difficulty, with consideration given to the suboptimal cognitive function of the participants with MCI. These modules are developed by the Co-investigator who has rich prior experience in teaching older adults on SUDOKU puzzle.
