Retirement brain boost? nurse-led program aims to preserve mental sharpness
NCT ID NCT07744178

Summary
This trial tests whether a brief, nurse-led group program can improve cognitive reserve—the brain's ability to cope with age-related changes—and reduce stress in primary school teachers aged 55 to 69 who are approaching retirement. The four-week program includes cognitive-stimulation activities, relaxation training, gentle movement exercises, and planning for staying active after retirement. Teachers in the comparison group continue their usual activities and receive an educational booklet later. The study randomly assigns whole schools to either the program or control group, measuring cognitive reserve and stress at several points over six months.
