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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A nurse-led multicomponent program combining cognitive stimulation, psychomotor activity, and stress management
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical way to support brain health and well-being for people transitioning to retirement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The program's benefits might be short-lived or not significant.
