“…Dispensaries serve local communities, followed by health centers, hospitals and larger referral hospitals (20). The three countries chosen for this work were part of the CST-International research programme (21) and teams in each country had previously completed the formal adaptation of CST (22)(23)(24) using the established methodology (25). As this was a stakeholder project and not a formal research study, no identifying information was collected from stakeholders beyond their job title and no formal analysis was conducted.…”

“…En este sentido, cuando las nuevas pruebas proceden de culturas distintas a donde se van a aplicar lo recomendable es realizar las adaptaciones culturales en pruebas de valoración cognitiva (Paradela, Lopes Cde, & Lourenco, 2009). En el caso del Cogval no se requiere traducción ni hacer una equivalencia semántica o conceptual en la prueba informatizada al idioma español (Herdman, Fox-Rushby, & Badia, 1998), pero sí era necesario verificar la usabilidad y aceptabilidad del nuevo test (Raghuraman, Lakshminarayanan, Vaitheswaran, & Rangaswamy, 2017) aplicado una pequeña muestra de la población diana, en donde los resultados con compatibles con aquellos que indican que las personas mayores tienden mostrar más aceptabilidad por este tipo de valoraciones cognitivas informatizadas (Collerton et al, 2007), más todos los aspectos previamente señalados.

La población a nivel mundial está envejeciendo, y paralelo a dicho envejecimiento se encuentran todas las enfermedades que se asociadas a él, entre ellas los trastornos cognitivos. Actualmente hay una tendencia a aprovechar el aumento del uso de las TICs, y en este caso aplicado a la valoración de las capacidades cognitivas en el envejecimiento. El objetivo del presente estudio se centró en analizar la usabilidad de una aplicación de valoración cognitiva aplicado a una muestra de panameños y españoles quienes luego contestaron a un cuestionario de usabilidad y se analizó la relación entre la frecuencia de uso de TICs, edad y educación. Los resultados indican que la poca frecuencia de uso de las TICs puede estar asociado a opinión de la facilidad de uso de la aplicación, todas las demás variables no muestran asociación con la usabilidad del Cogval y ésta opinión no depende del país donde se aplique la prueba. Además hay una tendencia de las personas mayores por preferir las evaluaciones cognitivas informatizadas. Estos resultados indican que el Cogval, puede ser usado y entendido por la población panameña y permitirá continuar con el proceso de validación de dicha prueba. AbstractThe world´s population is growing older, and along with age come certain associated diseases, including cognitive disorders. Recently, ICTs have grown increasingly popular and widely used. This tendency has grown as a helpful tool to assess cognitive disorders and describing the aging brain. This study’s main goal is to analyze the use of a computer-based app (COGVAL) to evaluate cognitive processes with a Panamanian and Spanish population. Administering also a usability survey to further study any relationships between the frequency of ICT use, age, and literacy. Results have shown that low frequency use of ICTs may be related to participants describing the COGVAL app as an easy one to use. Other variables measured show no relation to the usability of the COGVAL app, this is regardless of the country of the participants. In addition, older people tend to prefer computer based assessments. These results suggest that the Panamanian population, also helping to facilitate the validation of this test, may easily use the COGVAL app.

“…The average ImpRess score was 26/52. The intervention most implementation ready was a CST adaptation in India (36/52) (Raghuraman, Lakshminarayanan, Vaitheswaran, & Rangaswamy, 2017) and the least was a singing intervention in China (19/56) (Wang et al, 2018). Researchers commonly reported on factors outlining the motivation for choosing the intervention, the pathway to change impacted by the intervention from implementation to health outcome and characteristics of the populations that benefits from the intervention.…”

“…However, awareness of dementia in LMICs can be low and there is often a diagnosis and treatment gap. For example, it is estimated that only 20% of people with dementia in Brazil (Nakamura, Opaleye, Tani, & Ferri, 2015) and 5% of people with dementia in India have received a diagnosis (Prince, Livingston, & Katona, 2007).…”

Introduction: Despite wide uptake in high-income countries (HICs), less is known about the effectiveness and implementation of psychological, social and cognitive interventions in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite this, such interventions are increasingly used. The aim of this review was to appraise the effectiveness and implementation readiness of psychosocial interventions for people with dementia in LMICs. Methods: A systematic search of databases from 1998-2019. Studies were rated on two scales assessing quality and implementation readiness. Results: Seventeen articles describing 11 interventions in six countries were evaluated. Interventions included Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), a Multidisciplinary Cognitive Rehabilitation Programme (MCRP), singing interventions, occupational therapy and reminiscence therapy. The quality of included studies was variable, and many had low sample sizes. Evidence for improving both cognition and quality of life was found in two interventions: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and a Multidisciplinary Cognitive Rehabilitation Programme (MCRP). Implementation issues were more likely to be explored in studies of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) than in any other intervention. Conclusions: Of the included studies here, CST appears to be the most implementation ready, improving both cognition and quality of life with implementation readiness effectively explored in two LMIC countries: India and Tanzania.
