Effect of Home-Visit Cognitive Function Training Among National Long-Term Care Insurance Beneficiaries With Dementia
1National Health Insurance Service, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea.
Purpose:
To investigate the effect of home-visit cognitive function training among National Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) beneficiaries with dementia in Korea.
Method:
We performed propensity score matching and difference-in-differences analysis over data from the National Health Insurance Service. The experimental group (n = 215) received home-visit cognitive function training for dementia for ≥6 months. Participants in the control group received general home-visit care.
Results:
Physical function score increased significantly according to the time effect; the interaction term between time (at 12 months) and home-visit cognitive function training was significant. The interaction term was not significant for cognitive function.
Conclusion:
Home-visit cognitive function training had a partial effect among LTCI beneficiaries with dementia in Korea. Health care workers specializing in dementia should be educated as professionals who provide nonpharmacological intervention programs.
