Non-pharmacological Interventions for People With Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Community
Sponsor: Anhui Medical University
Summary
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may increase the risk of dementia. This study will evaluate an 8-week community-family mutual support intervention for adults aged 60 years or older with MCI. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The control group will receive routine community care, while the intervention group will additionally receive cognitive training, health education, family support, mutual support activities, and individualized feedback. Cognitive function, daily functioning, emotional status, and social support will be assessed before and after the intervention.

Community-Family Mutual Support Intervention
Participants will receive an 8-week community-family mutual support intervention in addition to routine community care. Guided by social support theory, the program integrates informational, emotional, instrumental, and appraisal support. It includes MCI-related health education, cognitive training, physical activity guidance, emotional self-monitoring, home-based practice with family assistance, mutual support between paired families, group activities, and individualized feedback. The intervention will be delivered through community-based sessions and supported home activities by trained researchers and community nurses.
Routine Community Care
Participants will receive routine community care, including standard health education and usual community-based health services, during the 8-week study period. They will not receive the community-family mutual support intervention.
