目的：这项研究评估了基于平板电脑的志愿者主导的干预措施（乐智居家培训）对认知受损老年人改善认知和情绪健康的潜在有效性。方法：采用单组前后测设计，对57名有认知障碍的社区老年人（蒙特利尔认知评分在13 ~ 22之间，无神经精神行为问题）进行了研究。经过培训的志愿者使用平板电脑进行了八次家庭培训。结果测量包括认知功能、抑郁、日常生活活动和工具性日常生活活动。结果如下：配对样本t检验显示，参与者在接受乐智家居训练后，认知能力有显著改善，抑郁症有中度改善，而工具性日常生活活动则有轻微改善。结论：本研究证实乐智介入对改善认知与情绪的可行性与潜在效益。
Purpose: This study evaluated the potential effectiveness of a tablet-based, volunteer-led intervention (Lok Chi In-home Training) for cognitively impaired older people in improving cognitive and emotional health. Method: A one-group pretest and posttest design was adopted, involving 57 community-dwelling older people with cognitive impairments (Montreal Cognitive Score between 13 and 22, without neuropsychiatric behavioral problem). Trained volunteers performed eight in-home training sessions using a tablet to facilitate. Outcome measures include cognitive function, depression, activity of daily living, and instrumental activity of daily living. Results: A paired sample t test indicated that after receiving Lok Chi In-home Training, participants showed significantly large improvements on cognitive ability, moderate improvements on depression, and small improvements on instrumental activity of daily living. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the feasibility and potential benefits of Lok Chi intervention for improving cognition and emotion.
