Abstract:
ObjectiveThis study evaluated the effectiveness of a novel multidimensional group intervention aimed at enhancing subjective cognitive and psychosocial functioning in community-dwelling older adults.MethodsSixty cognitively healthy adults aged 65-75 were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The 10-week intervention integrated five components: memory compensation, problem solving, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and locus of control. Validated self-report measures were collected at pre-test, post-test, and 12-week follow-up.ResultsMixed repeated measures MANOVA and ANOVA revealed significant improvements in the experimental group across all targeted domains compared to the control group (p < .001). Gains were sustained at follow-up.DiscussionThis structured, skills-based program significantly enhanced perceived cognitive and emotional functioning in healthy older adults. Its emphasis on real-life application and personal agency supports its use in community-based aging interventions. Trial Registration: Neuroage Study (NCT01481246).
