Evaluation of a PMT Rehabilitation Nursing Plan for the Older Adults With MCI to Promote Cognitive Health
Sponsor: Jinzhou Medical University
Summary
With the aging of the population, the number of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has increased year by year, which has caused serious social and family burdens. At present, the existing drug treatment effect is limited. Studies show the application value of non-drug treatment in the older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Psychomotor Therapy (PMT) is now widely used in European countries and has formed an independent scientific system. Therefore, this topic pays attention to older adults with mild cognitive impairment, intending to promote cognitive stimulation, using PMT methods to build a rehabilitation nursing plan. Relying on older adults care institutions, older adults with mild cognitive impairment in a certain period were divided into a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). Older adults will be engaged in a 12-week PMT rehabilitation nursing plan involving relaxation and breathing exercises, face exercises, hand exercises, and mind exercises to promote cognitive health. SPSS 28.0 software was used to analyze data. The comparison of scores of various scales are based on paired t-test statistical methods. The P value \<0.05 will be considered to indicate statistically significant with 95% confidence interval (CI). The rehabilitation effect of the two groups was evaluated according to cognitive assessments (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA), psychological assessment (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, PANSS), and emotional assessment (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, HAMD-17; Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, HAMA-14) . The expected findings of this study may be useful for cognitive rehabilitation plans for the elderly in care institutions, rehabilitation hospitals, communities, and families.
