BACKGROUND: The public health emergency of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is
rapidly evolving worldwide; some countries, including Spain, have implemented
restrictive measures. Populations that are vulnerable to this outbreak and its
physical and mental health effects include community-dwelling older adults with
mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Telehealth is a potential tool to
deliver health care and decrease exposure risk. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study
were to explore the impact of confinement on the health and well-being of
community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia,
to provide television-based and telephone-based health and social support, and to
study the effects of a television-based assistive integrated technology,
TV-AssistDem (TeleVision-based ASSistive Integrated Service to supporT European
adults living with mild DEMentia or mild cognitive impairment). METHODS: A
telephone-based survey was administered in Spain to 93 participants in the
TV-AssistDem clinical trial from March 25 to April 6, 2020. RESULTS: Of the
respondents, 60/93 (65%) were women. The mean age was 73.34 (SD 6.07), and 69/93
(74%) lived accompanied. Lockdown measures forced 17/93 respondents (18%) to
change their living arrangements. Health status was found to be optimal in 89/93
respondents (96%), with no COVID-19 symptoms. Grocery and pharmacy outings were
performed by family members of 68/93 participants (73%); 57 (61%) reported
overall well-being, and 65 (70%) maintained their sleep quality. However,
participants living alone reported greater negative feelings and more sleeping
problems. Regarding leisure activities, 53/93 respondents (57%) took walks, 32
(35%) played memory games, 55 (60%) watched television, and 91 (98%) telephoned
relatives. 58/93 (64%) respondents reported accessing moderate or too much
COVID-19 information, 89 (97%) received it from television, and 56 (62%) stated
that their understanding of the information was extreme. 39/93 (39%) respondents
had contacted health and social services, while 29 (31%) requested information
regarding these services during the telephone call. There were no significant
differences in health and well-being between the intervention and control groups.
Respondents with TV-AssistDem performed more memory exercises (24/93, 52% vs
8/93, 17.4%; P<.001) than control respondents. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest
that during COVID-19 confinement, the physical and mental health and well-being
was optimal for the majority of our vulnerable population. However, those living
alone reported greater negative psychological effects and sleeping problems.
Measures adopted to address the negative experiences of confinement included
keeping informed about the situation, accessing health and social services,
having a support network that prevents risk of exposure to COVID-19 and
guarantees food and medical supplies, a daily routine with maintained sleeping
habits and leisure activities, staying physically and mentally active with
cognitive stimulation exercises, and ensuring social connectedness using
technology. Television sets were preferred technological devices to access
COVID-19 information, watch television as a recreational activity, and perform
memory exercises as an intellectual activity. Television-based telehealth support
using TV-AssistDem demonstrated potential for cognitive stimulation. TRIAL
