Effects of a Trans-Theoretical Model-Based Health Education Program on the Management of Cognitive Dysfunction in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Study Rationale and Protocol Design for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Recent studies have confirmed that the management of cognitive dysfunction produces considerable positive effects in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), however, compliance with participation in various cognitive dysfunction management strategies remains scant in older adults with MCI. Health education programs can improve the level of knowledge of the disease effectively, though it remains unclear as to whether health education programs are sufficient to promote behavior changes of older adults with MCI in the community. Objective: The study aims to provide insight into the effect of a trans-theoretical Model (TTM)-based health education program on increasing knowledge about mild cognitive impairment (MCI), compliance in cognitive dysfunction mana
