Resumen
SILVA, Rosa Carla Gomes da et al. Making a Difference 3 - an individual cognitive stimulation program for older people: Appropriateness and feasibility. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.8, e20161. Epub 08-Mar-2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv20161.
Background:
The delivery of individual cognitive stimulation by caregivers in a home-based setting is an innovative intervention. An example of this type of intervention is the Making a Difference 3 (MD3) cognitive stimulation program.
Objective:
To explore the appropriateness and feasibility of the MD3 program for the Portuguese population.
Methodology:
This study was developed in two phases. In Phase 1, exploratory interviews were conducted with academics, healthcare professionals, and caregivers to identify the receptivity to this type of intervention. In Phase 2, a panel of experts and focus groups with caregivers were conducted to explore their perceptions about the Portuguese version of the MD3 program.
Results:
Phase 1 was the driving force behind the study. Participants considered this type of intervention very useful and versatile. Phase 2 allowed identifying the level of appropriateness and feasibility of the intervention that was translated and adapted to the Portuguese population.
Conclusion:
The MD3 program can be an excellent tool in caring for older adults with cognitive impairment living at home.
