Summary

The aim of the intervention proposed in the present study is to assess the effect of a cognitive stimulation (CS) intervention program in an individual and long-term format, for non-institutionalized elderly people with neurocognitive disorders and in a situation of social vulnerability. Specifically, to test the effectiveness of CS on the global cognitive state, on mood state, on quality of life and on functional state. The program will be composed by 50 sessions, including three of assessment sessions (pre, intra and post-intervention). Each session will have a duration of 45 minutes with a weekly frequency. Control group participants will maintain their treatment as usual.

Cognitive Stimulation

The intervention includes 50 sessions, over the course of one year, being that 3 of those sessions will be the pretest, intratest and posttest evaluations. The intervention sessions will last approximately 45 minutes and they will be developed according to the following structure: welcoming and greeting the participants (5 minutes); reality orientation therapy (10 minutes), cognitive stimulation \[CS\] activity (25 minutes); return to calm and closure of the session, and session evaluation (5 minutes). CS sessions will be conducted in an individual intervention format. The intervention sessions will include several activities based on different non-pharmacological therapies (e.g., reminiscence therapy, reality orientation therapy, cognitive training) whose effectiveness in older adults with neurocognitive disorders has been scientifically proven. All individual CS sessions will be conducted by one therapist (clinical psychologist) with more than five years of experience in CS.
