Abstract

Objectives:To review the efficacy of a home-based four-session individualized face-to-face cognitive rehabilitation (MAXCOG) intervention for clients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early dementia and their close supporters.Design:Randomized controlled trial comparing the intervention group (MAXCOG) with treatment as usual (control).Participants:A total of 55 client–supporter dyads were enrolled in the study and 40 completed; 25 client–supporter dyads completed MAXCOG and 15 completed treatment as usual. Both MAXCOG and control groups included more MCI cases than dementia (22 versus 3 and 12 versus 3, respectively).Intervention:Four weekly individual sessions of MAXCOG consisting of personalized interventions to address individually relevant goals, supported by the provision of the MAXCOG information resource.Measures:The primary outcomes were goal performance and satisfaction, assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Questionnaires assessing mood, illness adjustment, quality of life, and carer burden were also administered.Results:The intervention group displayed significantly higher performance and satisfaction with primary goals on the COPM post-intervention than the control group, using a per-protocol analysis.Conclusions:The MAXCOG intervention is effective in improving goal performance and satisfaction in clients with MCI and early dementia.
