Play Intervention for Dementia for Promoting Cognitive Function: A Feasibility Study
This study intends to use Play Intervention for Dementia (PID) to promote cognitive functions of people with early to moderate dementia. This is a cluster randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 38 participants from two study sites. Participants will be randomly allocated into intervention or wait-list controlled groups. Both groups will receive the same content of PID programme at different time. The PID consists of 12 weekly sessions. Each session lasts for 45-75 minutes. The PID will be facilitated by a play specialist, trained elderly volunteers, and centre staffs. Cognitive functions will be evaluated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Fuld Object Memory Evaluation and Modified Verbal Fluency Test, conducted by a trained research assistant blinded to group allocation. Centre staffs (not involved in the PID) will be interviewed. Every alternate session will be video-taped for understanding the experience of the participants in the PID programme.
