Objectives:
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a mobile-based multidomain application, Silvia Program, on cognitive functioning of residents in assisted living facilities (ALFs).
Study Design:
Pilot randomized controlled trial using a two-group pretest-posttest design.
Methods:
Twenty participants living in ALFs were randomized to a Silvia group or usual care group. Silvia group received mobile-based Multidomain lifestyle intervention for 50-60 min, twice weekly, for 12 weeks. We assessed the cognitive functioning using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
Results:
Results are that the total MoCA scores of the Silvia group showed significant improvement while the total scores of the control group declined.
Conclusion:
The present study provides suggestive evidence for an overall positive effect of the use of the Silvia Program on the cognitive functioning among residents in ALFs.
