Abstract
This preliminary study aimed to compare the outcomes of an occupational therapist-led and a nurse-led computerized cognitive training (CCT) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults. A single-blind randomized controlled trial was performed. Participants 65 years of age and older with MCI were randomly assigned to a group led by an occupational therapist or by a nurse. Both groups received CCT for 4 weeks. Six participants in the occupational therapist-led group and nine in the nurse-led group completed CCT. The nurse-led group showed significant improvement in scores on the Seoul Verbal Learning Test-Elderly's version immediate recall scores (p = .030) and the Korean-Boston Naming Test (p = .012). Nurse-led CCT demonstrated improvement in some language and memory areas in older adults with MCI. This study supports the idea of educating nurses to use a CCT program for treating older adults with MCI to improve their cognitive function.
