The effectiveness of developing a mobile application for the self-assessment and prevention of dementia in at-risk elderly individuals
บทคัดย่อ :
The objectives of this research and innovation development were to develop and examine the effects of a mobile application for self-assessment and prevention of dementia in at-risk elderly individuals in Bang Len Subdistrict, Song Phi Nong District, Suphan Buri Province. Participants included 35 elderly individuals at risk of developing dementia. The research instrument was a mobile application for dementia prevention. Data collection tools included an effectiveness assessment form and a satisfaction assessment form for the mobile application. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation.
The results showed that the mobile application for dementia prevention, which consisted of two parts: self-assessment of cognitive function and self-rehabilitation to prevent dementia, including brain exercises, concentration training, brain-boosting diets, brain development based on the 4-step principle, creating a good environment, and brain training games, showed high effectiveness. The overall effectiveness of the mobile application in terms of feasibility, accuracy, appropriateness, and utility had the highest average score (Mean = 4.75, S.D. = 0.30). The overall satisfaction level with the application was also at the highest level (Mean = 4.85, S.D. = 0.36). This shows that this mobile application for dementia prevention is highly effective. Therefore, healthcare professionals or caregivers can efficiently use this mobile application for dementia prevention to promote self-rehabilitation and dementia prevention among the elderly.
