Objective To explore the impact of Montessori-based multimodal intervention on executive function and fall fear in elderly patients with cognitive frailty.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with cognitive frailty admitted to Suqian First People's Hospital from February 2021 to October 2022 were selected as subjects,and they were divided into control group(n=60)and observation group(n= 60)according to different intervention methods.Patients in the control group were given conventional intervention,while patients in the observation group were given Montessori-based multimodal intervention.The intervention time lasted 6 months,aiming to compare the cognitive function,executive function,fall fear and social function before and after intervention between the two groups.Results Patients in the both groups presented significantly increased scores of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale(BADS),the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale(MFES),personal cleanliness,social interest and social ability,and significantly decreased score of mental state than those before intervention,and the improvements in the observation group were more pronounced than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Montessori-based multimodal intervention in elderly patients with cognitive frailty can effectively improve their cognitive ability,improve fear and executive function,and enhance social function,which has certain clinical application value.
