ABSTRACT
Introduction. Dementia is a global public health problem, for which there is currently no cure. The increasing
number of non-pharmacological interventions for the management of dementia challenges us to provide evidence-
based care.
Objective. To evaluate the feasibility of an individualized, cognitive rehabilitation program
based on the French ETNA3 trial in Mexican subjects over fifty-five with mild Alzheimer's dementia and their
caregivers who live in the community.
Method. Non-randomized feasibility study. The intervention consisted
of a twelve-month cognitive rehabilitation program, divided into eighteen ninety-minute sessions, administered
by trained psychologists, and standardized according to the French ETNA3 program. To assess its feasibility,
we determined the percentage of eligibility, acceptability, retention, and compliance and evaluated the adverse
effects and degree of satisfaction in patients and their caregivers.
Results. Thirty-two people with dementia
and their caregivers agreed to participate. The mean age of the participants was 80 ± 8 years, the majority
(72%) were women, and 78% had had five or more years of schooling. At twelve months, twenty-eight subjects
(87%) completed the program with 100% compliance with the scheduled sessions.
Discussion. This
study shows the feasibility of an individualized cognitive rehabilitation program based on ETNA3 for Mexican
subjects with mild dementia and their caregivers.
Conclusion. More studies are required to evaluate the importance
of trained therapists and caregiver support in achieving significant cognitive and functional changes
in patients.
