Psychoeducational module on Neurocognitive impairments – Mild and Severe. Module of the neuropsychological intervention program for the elderly, REHACOG
Keywords:
Cognitive remediation, Disease prevention, Psychological Intervention, TrainingAbstract
Objective
The purpose is to present a neuropsychological intervention program, aimed at the broader person, the Psychoeducation Module, directed fundamentally at one’s support network, family members and even intervention agents.
Method
The Cognitive Rehabilitation Program, given the acronym REHACOG, can work as a remedial and/or preventive tool that is very structured but flexible and complete because it includes varied tasks that promote multiple cognitive, linguistic and socio-emotional processes. REHACOG has an active character, also having a module more oriented to information and awareness for all the themes inherent to the larger individuals, potentially more oriented to caregivers or the elderly support network.
Results
Emphasizing this last topic, which has not yet been disseminated, which is the main objective of this article, we present the training module and the psychoeducational module, which includes six rubrics that cover topics ranging from conceptualization(s) of dementia, neurocognitive disorders, to symptomatology, assessment, intervention, caregivers and their roles, and response resources.
Conclusion
Although this material has not yet been published and disseminated, we expect to use and test it very soon. We look forward to its usefulness among professionals and future professionals in the area.
