“…Memory Self-efficacy. The memory selfefficacy scale 12 is a self-reported measure of the patient's confidence in managing memory-related activities, tasks, and emotional distress using a 10-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 9 to 90 with higher scores reflecting greater memory selfefficacy.…”

Limited access to mental health and behavioral interventions is a public health issue that predated and is further worsened by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) social distancing restrictions. The Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT) program is a cognitive rehabilitation and wellness program for patients with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and their partners that involves groups of up to 32 people (16 dyads) at a time. Thus, the public health recommendation to avoid groups at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic immediately impacted our ability to offer this treatment protocol. This brief report provides patient and partner satisfaction data as well as clinical outcomes with a virtual adaptation of the HABIT program developed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of their participation, patients who attended in-person sessions had an average age of 74.4 years and those who attended virtual sessions had an average age of 75.4 years ( P =.60). Both groups had an average of 16.3 years of education ( P =.95). Approximately half of the patients in both groups were male (30 of 57 [53%]), most were White (54 of 57 [95%]) and were accompanied to the program by a spouse (50 of 57 [88%]). Overall, patient and partner satisfaction with the HABIT program remained high, ranging from a mean score of 5.8 to 6.6 on a rating scale of 1 to 7 for patients and partners, and clinical outcomes remained consistent with our face-to-face formatting when compared with pre–COVID pandemic sessions. The most notable changes across both formats were improvements in patient anxiety (Cohen's d =0.25 face-to-face; d =0.39 virtual), partner anxiety ( d =0.37 face-to-face; d =0.34 virtual), and partner depression ( d =0.37 face-to-face; d =0.35 virtual). This preliminary program evaluation suggests that transitioning the HABIT program to virtual formatting provides high-quality care similar to our in-person care models. Ongoing program evaluation is planned as we continue using virtual treatment for safety. Even after COVID-19 pandemic public health restrictions are lifted, these findings will have continued relevance to ongoing demand for telehealth.

“…Decreased willingness to engage may, in turn, reduce participation in daily tasks and social roles, resulting in detrimental health consequences beyond reduced cognitive functioning. Support for this position comes from studies documenting positive associations between MSE and quality of life (QOL) ratings among both healthy elderly (Ramakers et al, 2009;Stephan, Caudroit, & Chalabaev, 2011) and individuals with cognitive impairment (Kurasz et al, 2021;Langer et al, 2019), as well as a larger literature detailing the negative impact of memory complaints on QOL (Maki et al, 2014;Montejo, Montenegro, Fernández, & Maestú, 2012;Rotenberg Shpigelman, Sternberg, & Maeir, 2019;Sohrabi et al, 2009). Due to the saliency of memory failures in daily life and their popular association with cognitive decline (Bouazzaoui et al, 2016;Hurt, Burns, & Barrowclough, 2011;Kessler, Bowen, Baer, Froelich, & Wahl, 2012;Kinzer & Suhr, 2016;Norman et al, 2020), perceived memory ability may bear on one's self-perceptions of functional status, leading to poorer engagement and/or greater avoidance of life activities and, ultimately, diminished life satisfaction (Farina, Bennett, Griffith, & Lenaert, 2020;Verhaeghen, Geraerts, & Marcoen, 2000).…”

Objective: Personal beliefs about memory ability, which comprise memory self-efficacy (MSE), can influence memory performance in healthy older adults. Self-efficacy theory also predicts that MSE biases self-perceptions of functioning more globally, potentially impacting daily activity beyond cognitive performance. People with traumatic brain injury (PwTBI) frequently report debilitating memory problems long after acute recovery, but little is known about how MSE affects health outcomes in this population. We examined demographic and clinical correlates of MSE, as well as its relationship to memory test performance and health-related quality of life (QOL), in older adults with chronic moderate-to-severe TBI (msTBI). Method: One hundred fourteen adults, aged 50+ and at least 1 year post-msTBI, underwent neuropsychological testing to assess their memory functioning. Participants also self-reported levels of psychological distress, MSE (Cognitive Confidence subscale of the Metacognitions Questionnaire), and health-related QOL (Quality of Life after Brain Injury questionnaire). Results: Demographic and injury-related predictors showed weak correlations with MSE. Although the relationship between MSE and general psychological distress was robust, only the former significantly predicted memory performance. Bivariate analyses revealed significant relationships between MSE and five out of the six QOL domains assessed. Multivariate linear regression revealed a significant impact of MSE on overall QOL independent of demographic and clinical variables. Conclusions: Our findings support a unique role for MSE in both the objective cognitive performance and subjective health of PwTBI. Increased focus on self-perceptions of ability and their impact on measured outcomes is an important step towards personalized rehabilitation for adults with chronic msTBI.
