JUSTO-HENRIQUES, Susana Isabel. Individual intervention protocol based on cognitive stimulation therapy for older adults with mild neurocognitive disorder. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.5, e20100. Epub 18-Maio-2021. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv20100.
Background:
Cognitive stimulation (CS) is one of the recommended non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) with the best evidence base for mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD). It stimulates neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve and can reduce the progression of cognitive decline in older adults with mNCD.
Objective:
To describe the structure and content of an individual CS intervention protocol for older adults with mNCD.
Methodology:
Identification of the stages preceding the design of the intervention protocol.
Results:
Individual CS therapy intervention protocol, consisting of a program implemented by trained therapists with six sessions, twice a week, each lasting around 45 minutes.
Conclusion:
The detailed individual CS protocol facilitates its implementation and dissemination and can have significant implications for clinical practice and research on mNCD.
