- Abstract
- The population of older adults is increasing, as is the number of older adults with dementia. However, there is a lack of integrative interventions that include both cognitive training and physical exercise for older adults with dementia. The current study conducted a 12-week integrated program for older adults with low education and mild dementia; the study modified the contents developed by the National Dementia Institute. Effects of the integrated program were examined in 30 participants (16 from the experimental group and 14 from the control group). Analysis showed that the tailored integrated program increased the cognitive function of participants in the experimental group. The findings of this study suggest that using therapeutic strategies and providing person-centered care are necessary for older adults with low educational backgrounds and low literacy levels.
