Database of the original study "Feasibility and Perceived Well-Being Outcomes Of A Blended Cognitive Stimulation Program In Nursing Home Residents: An Exploratory Case-Series."

By integrating both individual and group activities, CST may enhance the quality of life not only<b> </b>for individuals living with dementia, but also for frail older adults in residential care settings, such as nursing homes. In nursing homes, residents often face both cognitive and physical impairments as well as social isolation.

In these contexts, CST could represent an effective intervention to reduce loneliness, foster social cohesion, and improve quality of life. The present study is a preliminary case-series aiming at exploring the feasibility -based on Bowen and colleagues’ framework- and the outcomes of a tailored CST program in terms of cognition, psychological well-being and quality of life in nursing home residents. Five participants underwent three neuropsychological assessments, using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and Quality_VIA to monitor cognition, mood, and quality of life.
