Evaluating the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Initial Clinical Effectiveness of Implementing a Cognitive Remediation Program Within Psychiatric Services.
Sponsor: The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre
Summary
Severe and persistent mental health disorders are associated with impairments in cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Some of these disorders involve cognitive challenges that are likely to negatively affect quality of life. In this context, the early identification of cognitive difficulties and intervention through cognitive remediation become priority therapeutic targets to facilitate individual rehabilitation. From this perspective, the present study aims to determine the relevance of a personalized cognitive remediation program developed by neuropsychologists at Pierre-Janet Hospital, called RECAMEX, to guide its sustainable adoption and to support its implementation in other clinical settings.

Cognitive remediation
Cognitive remediation differs from other interventions through its emphasis on cognitive processes, as well as through the teaching of compensatory strategies and/or the training of specific cognitive functions. It aims to address the underlying cognitive deficits associated with the pathology, which undermine the individual's functioning in daily life. Cognitive remediation is an intervention targeting cognitive functions through the administration of repeated cognitive exercises with a gradually increasing level of difficulty.
