What this trial studies
This feasibility study tests a group intervention program designed for older adults experiencing Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD), where individuals perceive their memory is worsening despite normal test results. The program focuses on health management principles and includes 14 weekly sessions aimed at addressing the challenges associated with SCD. The study evaluates the feasibility of the intervention, the sensitivity of assessments to detect changes, and the preliminary effects on participants' daily life, mental health, and quality of life.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are older adults who self-report memory changes and have a MoCA score of 23 or higher.
Not a fit: Patients with significant health conditions affecting functioning or those residing in medical institutions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance the quality of life and mental well-being of older adults experiencing memory concerns.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific intervention for SCD is novel and has not been extensively tested.
