Brief Summary:
Older adults with anxiety symptoms was found to be associated with greater risk of dementia Interventions targeting signs as early as in the pre-symptomatic phase could be most effective in early prevention of dementia On reviewing the identified non-pharmacological interventions integrated attention training program IATP is proposed to target older adults with anxiety symptoms in Hong Kong
Detailed Description:
Older adults with anxiety disorders or symptoms are not in the consideration of management for dementia prevention However the condition is found to be associated with profound negative subsequent decline on both functioning and cognition While epidemiological studies reported high prevalence in older population its symptoms are often overlooked in the presence of other age-related diseases in the community as well as among the health professionals It is expected that cognitive and functional disabilities secondary to this condition will pose a significant burden to the existing healthcare system Therefore targeting anxious older adults for early intervention may help to cut healthcare costs and to ensure proactive dementia prevention in the long run The current proposed intervention intends to attenuate the trajectory of cognitive decline at a very early stage and enhance existing cognitive function to delay the onset of dementia
This study aims to explore whether the use of integrated attention training program IATP could improve cognitive performance and functioning in older adults with anxiety symptoms In particulars we aim
1 To examine the cognitive effect of 4 week integrated attention training program I and health education C in older adults with anxiety symptoms
2 To examine the 4 week integrated attention training program I and health education C in alleviating mood symptoms in older adults with anxiety symptoms
3 To examine the acceptability and adherence of the proposed intervention
