What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the Cog-Fun Aging program to help older adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) manage memory challenges and improve daily life. The study aims to find out if this program helps participants better understand their cognitive difficulties, use more effective memory strategies, and reduce negative feelings related to SCD. Participants who complete the program will be compared with those who do not to assess its impact. The Cog-Fun Aging program consists of 10 weekly group sessions, each lasting 120 minutes, led by experienced occupational therapists. These sessions focus on learning about the factors affecting SCD and practicing strategies to manage related daily challenges. In the study, one group will start with usual care and later receive the intervention, while the other will receive the program first, allowing comparison of effects before and after the intervention phases. Participants will undergo assessments before and after the 10-week program, including questionnaires about memory impact, self-regulation skills, awareness of cognitive difficulties, and measures of depression and anxiety. The study involves baseline, mid-point, and final evaluations to monitor changes. Participation lasts for the duration of the 10-week intervention periods, with careful monitoring of participants' experiences and outcomes throughout.
