Abstract

Abstract Objectives: The increase in the elderly population has led to a rise in the percentage of people with dementia who require specialized attention aimed at maintaining or delaying their cognitive and physical decline. The aim of this research was to analyze whether a group of adults with dementia improve cognitively when being attended by professional caregivers who were trained in a cognitive stimulation module of the CUIDA-2 program following the principles of the person-centered-care model. Methodology: The sample consisted on 47 people with dementia (divided into treatment group and control group) and 5 professional caregivers of a day center for people with dementia in Granada. The older people treatment group was treated for three months by caregivers who received the training program. All participants were assessed before and after the intervention with various cognitive assessment tests. Results: People with dementia who were treated by caregivers trained in the program maintained or improved their scores in all the tests analyzed, although these improvements were only significant in various subtest. Conclusions: The caregiver training program produced a positive effect in the adults with dementia, as it helps to improve and maintain their cognitive functions. This research opens new lines of work in the field of cognitive intervention in people with dementia that can be very useful when working with this population.
