Abstract

Background: Cognitive rehabilitation is a way to restore lost cognitive capacities. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation therapy on cognitive functions (working memory, concentration, and attention) of adolescents living in boarding schools in Tehran. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population includes all adolescents living in welfare boarding schools in the age group was 15 to 18 years old, and they were in Tehran in 2018. Out of 100 people, 60 people who had problems in the mentioned variables were randomly selected, and randomly divided into two groups of 30 people. The first group underwent eight individual sessions of cognitive rehabilitation therapy (by NBK software), and the second group, as a control group, did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance and Spss.22 software. Results: The results showed that the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation therapy was effective on cognitive functions (working memory, concentration, and attention) of adolescents (P<0.001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that cognitive rehabilitation can successfully affect numerous aspects of cognitive functions, while numerous medical therapies may be required to treat each mere aspect. Further evaluations are strongly recommended.

认知康复治疗对寄宿制学校青少年认知功能（工作记忆、注意力和注意力）的影响

背景:认知康复是一种恢复丧失的认知能力的方法。本研究旨在探讨认知康复治疗对德黑兰寄宿学校青少年认知功能(工作记忆、注意力和注意力)的影响。方法:本研究采用准实验研究，采用前测和后测设计。统计人口包括所有生活在福利寄宿学校的15至18岁年龄组的青少年，他们于2018年在德黑兰。在100个人中，随机选择60个在上述变量上有问题的人，并随机分为两组，每组30人。第一组接受了8次单独的认知康复治疗(由NBK软件)，第二组作为对照组，没有接受任何治疗。采用多变量协方差分析及Spss.22软件对数据进行分析。结果:认知康复治疗对青少年的认知功能(工作记忆、注意力和注意力)有显著的改善作用(P<0.001)。结论:认知康复可以成功地影响认知功能的许多方面，而每一个方面可能需要许多药物治疗。强烈建议进一步评价。
