Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a linguistically and culturally appropriate adaptation of the Memory Support System (MSS), an evidence-based intervention to train persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to complete personal goals and instrumental activities of daily living independently. The study will involve development of the associated manual, training and patient forms, and outcome measures, and pilot testing of the intervention in a group of French-speaking individuals with MCI and their care partners

Detailed description

At enrollment, participants with MCI and their care partners will complete French measures evaluating cognitive and functional status. Participants and partners will also complete French measures of treatment adherence, instrumental activities of daily living, self-efficacy for memory, quality of life, mood, anxiety, and caregiver burden at baseline, treatment end, and 8-week follow-up. Participants will complete the MSS training consisting of ten 1-hour sessions delivered over two or six weeks, starting 7-10 days after initial assessment.
