An experimental instrument was an older adult potential development program based on the Montessori and this program was verified for content validity by three professional experts. The MMSE-Thai 2002 was tested reliability with test-retest in 30 older adults who were the same characteristics with the participants and reported a Pearson’s correlation of .81. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and one-way repeated measures ANOVA.
This research findings revealed that the mean of participants’ cognitive scores after receiving the program was significantly higher than before receiving the program (p<.05). The mean cognitive scores of participants before implementing the program were 27 ( = 27, S.D = 2.89). Besides, the mean of participants’ cognitive scores after finishing the program on that day and two months later were 29 (
= 29, S.D = 1.18) and 27 (
= 27.30, S.D = 2.37), respectively. The program can be utilized in daily living activities for older adults to enhance their cognitive function and prevent dementia.
