Abstract: (16 Views)
The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral intervention on working memory and cognitive abilities of elderly individuals with mild Alzheimer’s disease under maintenance treatment with methadone. This study was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest and control group. The statistical population included all elderly individuals with mild Alzheimer’s disease in Sanandaj in 2024, from which 30 participants (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection instruments included the Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire (CAQ; Nejati, 2013) and the N- BACK working memory test (N- BACK, 1985). The intervention was implemented in eight 90-minute sessions, once a week, for the experimental group, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) through statistical software. The findings indicated that, after controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the two groups in working memory and cognitive abilities at the 0.01 level, and improvement in working memory was associated with enhanced cognitive abilities in the elderly. It can be concluded that mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral interventions, as a complementary approach, can play an effective role in improving cognitive functions of elderly individuals with mild Alzheimer’s disease under maintenance treatment with methadone.
