Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Older people with dementia often deteriorate cognitive functions, which may lead to difficulty performing daily activities. One of the best non-pharmacological treatments for dementia is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), developed in the United Kingdom. The study aims to determine the effect of the Cognitive Stimulation Therapy - Malaysian version (CST-M) on cognitive functions. The results of this randomised controlled trial indicate a significant difference in cognitive functions among participants in the experimental group. CST-M should be encouraged as a standard treatment for older people with dementia in Malaysia.
