“…The psychometric properties of the different versions (models) of the Loewenstein cognitive assessment battery for the different age groups that it tests have demonstrated their reliability in adaptations to different languages, among which are the Portuguese version DOTCA-CH, Danish LOTCA-II and Malaysia LOTCA-G. The validation of these versions has resulted in reliability levels consistent with the original versions, which allows occupational therapists to have reliable cognitive assessment instruments that can be used to assess and formulate intervention plans for people at different stages of their life course (Lund et al, 2013;Mohd Natar et al, 2015;Uchôa-Figueiredo et al, 2017).…”

Objective To validate the Chilean Spanish translation of the tenth English version of the Dynamic Loewestein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for use in the Chilean population. Method The translation into Chilean Spanish was carried out, and then a pilot test was carried out for the application of the instrument, for which 40 adults were recruited with an average age of 42.7 years, with various brain damages and made up of 70% women and 30% men. To evaluate the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach's Alpha was calculated as a measure of Internal Consistency, applying 3 perspectives, "Item-Total Reliability", "Item-Domain Reliability", and "Domain-Total Reliability". To measure feasibility, the percentage of items not answered by the sample is identified, and the percentage of items that is identified in the cognitive tests as understood. Results The Item-Total reliability yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.953, which translates into excellent reliability. Item-Domain reliability was mostly between excellent and good, with weak reliability for the factors "time orientation" and "visual perception". The Domain-Total reliability yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.810, which translates into good reliability. Finally, in relation to feasibility, the participants answered 100% of the items, evidencing the translation to be accessible. Conclusion The DLOTCA translated into Chilean Spanish; it presents a high reliability, which allows obtaining results with very low biases, becoming an instrument that can be used in a pertinent way in the Chilean population.

“…Las propiedades psicométricas de las distintas versiones (modelos) de la batería de evaluación cognitiva de Loewenstein para los distintos grupos etarios que evalúa, han demostrado su confiabilidad en las adaptaciones a diversos idiomas, entre los que se encuentran la versión portuguesa DOTCA-CH, danesa LOTCA-II y malasia LOTCA-G. La validación de estas versiones ha dado como resultado niveles de confiabilidad concordantes con las versiones originales, lo que permite a los terapeutas ocupacionales contar con instrumentos de evaluación cognitiva confiables que pueden ser utilizados para evaluar y formular planes de intervención para las personas en distintas etapas del curso de vida (Lund et al, 2013;Mohd Natar et al, 2015;Uchôa-Figueiredo et al, 2017).…”

Resumen Objetivo Validar la traducción al español chileno de la décima versión en inglés de la Dynamic Loewestein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment para ser utilizado en la población chilena. Método Se realizó la tradución de el DLOTCA al español chileno. Se realizó un pilotaje para la aplicación del instrumento, para lo cual se reclutó a 40 personas adultas con una media de 42,7 años, con diversos daños cerebrales y compuesto por un 70% de mujeres y un 30% de hombres. Para evaluar la confiabilidad del instrumento se calculó el Alfa de Cronbach como medida de Consistencia Interna, aplicando 3 perspectivas, “Fiabilidad Ítem-Total”, “Fiabilidad Ítem-Dominio”, y “Fiabilidad Dominio-Total”. Para medir la Factibilidad se identificó el porcentaje de ítems no contestados por la muestra, y el porcentaje de ítems que es identificado en las pruebas cognitivas como comprendido. Resultados La fiabilidad Ítem-Total arrojó un Alpha de Cronbach 0,953, lo que se traduce en excelente confiabilidad. La fiabilidad Ítem-Dominio, estuvo mayormente entre excelente y buena, existiendo una fiabilidad débil para los factores “orientación temporal” y “percepción visual”. La fiabilidad Dominio-Total arrojó un Alpha de Cronbach 0,810 lo que se traduce en una buena confiabilidad. Finalmente, con relación a la factibilidad, los participantes respondieron el 100% de los ítems, evidenciando la accesibilidad de la traducción. Conclusiones El DLOTCA traducido al español chileno; presenta una alta confiabilidad, lo que permite obtener resultados con muy bajos sesgos, convirtiéndose en un instrumento que puede ser utilizado de manera pertinente en la población chilena.

“…It consists of 23 subtests in seven cognitive areas: Orientation, Perception, visuomotor organisation, thinking operations, memory, praxis, attention and concentration (Elzar et al, 1996). The LOTCA-G was validated in Bahasa Malaysia in 2015, and the results indicated high convergence validity between the English version and the Malay version of LOTCA-G (ranging from 0.83 -0.96 in the seven cognitive areas) (Natar et al, 2015).…”

An older person with dementia often has deterioration in cognitive functions, which may lead to difficulty performing daily activities. One of the best non-pharmacological treatments for dementia is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), developed in the United Kingdom. The aim of the study is to determine the effect the Cognitive Stimulation Therapy – Malaysian version (CST-M) on cognitive functions. The results of this randomised controlled trial indicate a significant difference in cognitive functions among participants in the experimental group. The use of CST-M should be encourage as a standard treatment for older person with dementia in Malaysia. Keywords: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy; Older people; Mild dementia eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022.
