Cognitive stimulation in older adults: an online intervention proposal during the pandemic.
It is known that cognitive decline occurs with human aging. Cognitive stimulation (CS) is understood as an essential tool for enhancing cognitive functions. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of online CS and compare the performance of older adults after cognitive intervention sessions. Twent...

Cognitive stimulation (CS) is understood as an essential tool for enhancing cognitive functions. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of online CS and compare the performance of older adults after cognitive intervention sessions. Twenty older women were recruited through non-probability sampling and selected for convenience. The participants were divided into two groups: Experimental Group (EG) and Control Group (CG), with 10 members each. The cognitive interventions occurred in six weekly group sessions conducted online via the Google Meet platform. Data were analyzed using the R statistical software (R Core Team, 2019). Descriptive analysis was used for the means, and the t-test was applied for comparisons between the EG and CG. The results indicated that the EG showed significant improvements in cognition, particularly in the domains of attention and strategy adoption, as well as slight improvement in depressive symptoms after the CS sessions. Therefore, it is concluded that CS has significant effects on older adults. Sabe-se que há declínio cognitivo no envelhecimento humano. A estimulação cognitiva (EC) é compreendida como uma ferramenta essencial para a potencialização das funções cognitivas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os benefícios da EC online e comparar o desempenho de idosos após sessões de intervenção cognitiva. Participaram 20 mulheres idosas, recrutadas por amostragem não probabilística e selecionadas por conveniência. As participantes foram divididas em dois grupos: Grupo Experimental (GE) e Grupo Controle (GC), cada um com 10 integrantes. As intervenções cognitivas ocorreram em seis encontros semanais, realizados em grupo e online por meio da plataforma virtual Google Meet. Os dados foram analisados no programa estatístico R (R Core Team, 2019). Utilizou-se a análise descritiva para as médias e o teste t para comparação entre o GE e o GC. Os resultados indicaram que o GE apresentou melhorias significativas na cognição, especialmente nos domínios da atenção e da adoção de estratégias, assim como discreta melhora na sintomatologia depressiva após as sessões de EC. Portanto, conclui-se que a EC tem efeitos significativos nos idosos. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
