Keeping on Course: A Communication-Focused Psychoeducational Program is a study designed to help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care partners. MCI affects memory and thinking skills in older adults but is not as severe as dementia. It can lead to challenges in daily life, including work and health care. This program aims to teach communication skills to couples (called "dyads") dealing with MCI, to help them manage emotions and make decisions together.
The study involves four groups of six dyads, totaling 48 people. Participants will join virtual meetings once a week for six weeks. They will have interviews before the program starts and again at four and eight weeks after it ends to see how well the program works.
Key Points:
- Participants will attend virtual group sessions once a week for six weeks.
- Both the person with MCI and their care partner need their own internet-connected device.
- Participants will be interviewed before, and four and eight weeks after the program.
