Development of comprehensive support programs aiming at improving role and environment which contribute to recovery from mild cognitive impairment
Description: The purpose of this study project was to develop a comprehensive role and environmental support program to promote reversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to the normal state. There were 73 subjects in the initial survey, and a significant difference (p<.05) was recognized in the educational background, total FAI and the number of past role performance as a result of one-way analysis of variance in the normal range, preventive (MCI) range and dementia range. As a result of follow-up with the subjects in the preventive range for 18 months, seven subjects reverted to the normal range and eight subjects remained in the preventive range. Although no significant difference was recognized between the normal range and the preventive range, the effect size of exercise (g=.766) and highly intensive activity time (g=.933) as physical activity as well as of interactive environment (g=.715) was significant and they may be considered as possible factors to develop effective programs.
