Abstract
Background: Dementia is a significant public health problem that can be prevented by promoting brain potential among pre-aging persons through community participation activities to stimulate cognition and reduce anxiety and depression.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of the cognitive stimulation model using community participation for pre-aging persons with chronic diseases in urban areas on cognition, anxiety, and depression.
Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design with two groups, a pre-post test design, and a one-month follow-up period. The samples were pre-aging persons with chronic disease who were community-dwelling in an urban area. The 33 samples were from the experimental group, and 35 were from the control group. Data were collected using cognition, anxiety, and depression assessment forms. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Friedman test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Mann-Whitney U-test.
Results: After the experimental and 1-month follow-up period, the experimental group had higher mean scores of cognitive performances than the control group, with statistical significance at the .05 level. The experimental group had lower mean depression scores than the control group, with a statistically significant level of .05. The anxiety mean score between the experimental group and the control group was not statistically significant difference at a .05 level.
Conclusions: The cognitive stimulation model using community participation can promote better cognition and decrease depression in pre-aging persons with chronic diseases in urban areas. Therefore, this program should continue to be used for pre-aging persons with chronic diseases.
