  • Protocol summary

    The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of computer-based cognitive training intervention on the quality of life of more than 60 year olds community- dwelling elderly in Tehran by controlling the effects of probable variables affecting relationship between cognitive functions and quality of life. The elderly which obtain the Mini Mental State score of 22 and higher and have no self-report history of psychological or neurodegenerative diseases will enter the intervention. The sample size for this stage was estimated about 52. Considering depression and educational status, which have been known as cofounder variables in relation with cognitive function and quality of life, are dual- state variables, we will design 4 randomization tables and samples will be allocated into intervention and control group based on these variables. No blinding is used in this study. The sampling is done from 3 health centers in the west of Tehran. The intervention group will receive cognitive interventions by ARAM software application through 12 45-minute sessions, twice a week. Finally, quality of life as main outcome and cognitive level will be evaluated through post-test after intervention and 3 months later. The control group will be evaluated in first and last sessions without any intervention.

    این پژوهش باهدف بررسی تأثیر مداخلات تقویت شناختی مبتنی بر کامپیوتر بر کیفیت زندگی با کنترل اثر متغیرهاي احتمالی موثر بر رابطه ي کارکردهاي شناختی و کیفیت زندگی، در سالمندان بالای 60 سال مقیم جامعه شهر تهران انجام می شود. سالمندانی برای شرکت در مداخله انتخاب می شوند که در آزمون کوتاه وضعیتشناختی نمره 22 و بالاتر کسب کنند و سابقه بیماری‌های روان‌پزشکی و نورودژنراتیو نداشته باشند. حجم نمونه در این مرحله 52 نفر محاسبه شد. روش کار آزمایی بالینی، به شیوه تصادفی سازي شده با طرح طبقه بندي شده است. با توجه به اینکه دو متغیر افسردگی و سطح تحصیلات که به عنوان متغیرهای مخدوشگر در رابطه سطح شناختی و کیفیت زندگی شناخته شدند دو حالتی هستند، چهار جدول رندومیزیشن طراحی می شود و بر اساس آن افراد در دو گروه مداخله و کنترل قرار می‌گیرند. کورسازی در این مداخله انجام نمی شود. نمونه‌گیری از سه خانه سلامت وابسته به شهرداری تهران در منطقه غرب شهر انجام می‌شود. گروه مداخله 12 جلسه تقویت شناختی 45 دقیقه‌ای را توسط نرم‌افزار کامپیوتری آرام به‌صورت دو بار در هفته دریافت می‌کنند. در انتها کیفیت زندگی به عنوان پیامد اصلی و سطح شناختی افراد مجدداً در قالب پس‌آزمون، بعد از مداخله و سه ماه بعد سنجیده می‌شود. گروه کنترل فقط در جلسه اول و آخر ارزیابی می‌شوند و مداخله‌ای روی آن‌ها صورت نمی‌گیرد.

    Participants were assigned to two groups using Balance blocked randomization, 26 in the intervention and 26 in the control group. Educational level and depression were considered as two potential confounding variables by considering existing evidence .Thus, a stratified randomized design was implemented to control the potentially confounding effect of these two binaries. Four randomizing sequences were used (the combination of depression and low educational level, depression and high educational level, high educational level without depression and low educational level without depression) and the participants were divided in either the intervention or control group based on this different strata. Finally pulled data was analyzed.

    شرکت کنندگان توسط تخصیص تصادفی به روش بلوك هاي متغیر به دو گروه مداخله (26 نفر) و کنترل (26 نفر) تقسیم شدند. دو متغیر سطح تحصیلات و افسردگی بر اساس شواهد قبلی به عنوان متغیرهای مخدوشگر در نظر گرفته شدند. سپس طرح تصادفی سازی لایه ای جهت کنترل تاثیر مخدوشگر این دو متغیر به کار گرفته شد. چهار گروه تصادفی در نظر گرفته شد (ترکیبی از افسردگی و سطح تحصیلات پایین، افسردگی و سطح تحصیلات بالا، سطح تحصیلات بالا بدون افسردگی و سطح تحصیلات پایین بدون افسردگی) و شرکت کنندگان بر اساس این لایه ها به دو گروه مداخله و کنترل تقسیم شدند. در نهایت دیتاهای استخراج شده آنالیز شد.

Randomized
Randomization description
Participants were assigned to two groups using Balance blocked randomization, 26 in the intervention and 26 in the control group. Educational level and depression were considered as two potential confounding variables by considering existing evidence .Thus, a stratified randomized design was implemented to control the potentially confounding effect of these two binaries. Four randomizing sequences were used (the combination of depression and low educational level, depression and high educational level, high educational level without depression and low educational level without depression) and the participants were divided in either the intervention or control group based on this different strata. Finally pulled data was analyzed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
According to the nature of the intervention, the participants could not be blinded in the process of intervention, so the person who analyzed data was blinded to the allocated into the intervention or control groups.

Assignment
Parallel
Other design features
In this study, the stratified design randomization will be used. Considering of depression(y/n) and educational status(diploma/academic education) as a dual- state variables, we will design 4 different randomization tables and samples will allocated into intervention and control group based on these variables. Finally data of this tables will be pooling, so we could control the effect of confounder variables.
