Investigating the effectiveness of Captain’s Log cognitive rehabilitation software on the cognitive flexibility of patients with multiple sclerosis in Tehran
The transmission of data in nervous system is affected by multiple sclerosis. This can cause problems for cognitive abilities and executive functions. Cognitive rehabilitations can improve these abilities. We investigated the effectiveness of Captain’s Log rehabilitation software on cognitive flexibility of patients with multiple sclerosis in Tehran.
The present study was an intervention type with a pre-test and post-test design. At the descriptive level, the mean and standard deviation were used. In the inferential part, the normality test of data (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test), the homogeneity of the regression slope and Levine's test were applied to check the equality of the variance of the dependent variable. Univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to check the effect of the intervention on the post-test scores. The sample statistical population included 30 patients with multiple sclerosis in the year 2021-2022 in Tehran, who were selected by the purposive convenience sampling method and randomly placed into two groups of fifteen people as control and intervention groups. Subjects completed the standard Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (CFI) by Dennis and Vander Wal to measure cognitive flexibility.
Captain’s Log cognitive rehabilitation software directly affected cognitive flexibility (p<0.001). The eta squared effect size 0.363 indicated that the effect of Captain’s Log on the flexibility of the subjects is 36.3%.
According to the results, the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on patients with cognitive disorders is clear. It is suggested to use Captain’s Log cognitive rehabilitation software in welfare centers
