Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cognitive rehabilitation (CR) is needed to focus on working collaboratively on the patients’ individual needs and goals. We aimed to assess the effect of CR based on communication between two patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their caregivers. We conducted a “family meeting” wherein the patient, caregivers, physician, and therapists together set the specific goals for the patient, assessed the achievement of the initial goals, and adjusted the goals. After the 6-month CR, one patient who had 3 goals showed improvement in all cognitive domains and performances of daily living. The other patient who had 2 goals showed a slight decrease in some cognitive domains, performance of daily activities, and mean score of goal-related achievement and satisfaction. However, each score of 2 goals was still maintained. CR based on goal setting through patient and caregiver communication may be an approach to support daily functioning in patients with MCI.
