Abstract

This study was to examine the effects of dual-task training program on the cognitive function, physical functional status, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction of Korean older adults with mild cognitive impairment living in community. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used. The study participants were a total of 32 older adults with mild cognitive impairment over the age of 65 in the community, South Korea (Intervention: n = 16, Control: n = 16). The effects of time and group interactions between the intervention and control groups were statistically significant for the cognitive function (F=60.99, p < 0.001), physical function status (F=25.59, p < 0.001), self-efficacy (F=69.36, p < 0.001), and life satisfaction level (F=25.81, p < 0.001). The intervention group showed positive improvements in health-related outcome variables compared to the control group. The intervention showed beneficial effects immediately after 10 weeks applied and the effects were sustained at 14 weeks.
