This study explores the impact of task-oriented station training on the cognitive levels and hand functions of elderly residents in nursing homes. Utilizing methods like tele-rehabilitation, face-to-face sessions, and home-based programs, this research aims to determine the most effective approach for improving the cognitive and manual skills of this population. The hypothesis driving this study is that targeted task-oriented training can significantly improve the cognitive functions and hand dexterity of elderly individuals living in nursing homes, potentially enhancing their quality of life and independence. Participants receive different types of interventions-tele-rehabilitation, direct face-to-face training, and guided home programs-to evaluate which modality most effectively supports cognitive and hand function improvements. The study's design is randomized and assesses the outcomes through various established psychological and physical tests. With an aging global population, such strategies are crucial for maintaining the independence and quality of life of our elderly, potentially reducing the need for intensive care solutions and allowing for longer periods of self-sufficiency and well-being. This summary presents the study in a straightforward manner, explaining the purpose, hypothesis, methods, and significance of the research to make it accessible to non-specialist readers.

| Face-To-Face Task-orianted Training | Behavioral | In this study, face-to-face task-oriented station training is provided by trained occupational therapists to elderly nursing home residents. Each session involves structured activities that simulate real-world challenges designed to improve cognitive and hand functions. These include exercises to enhance fine motor skills, hand strength, coordination, and cognitive tasks such as problem-solving and memory exercises. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change in Cognitive Function Using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) | The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a widely used tool for assessing cognitive function, which measures various aspects of cognitive abilities including orientation to time and place, immediate recall, short-term memory, language use, comprehension, and basic motor skills. The score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function. This test will be used to quantify changes in cognitive levels of participants after undergoing task-oriented station training. | Baseline (start of intervention), Post-intervention (immediately after the 2-week intervention), |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement in Hand Function Using the Nine-Hole Peg Test | The Nine-Hole Peg Test measures dexterity and hand function. Participants are timed on how quickly they can place and then remove nine pegs into a pegboard with one hand. This test is used to evaluate fine motor skills improvement, particularly the ability to coordinate visually guided fine movements. | Baseline and Post-intervention (immediately after the 2-week intervention). |

| Tele-Rehabilitation Task-orianted Training | Behavioral | This intervention utilizes video-conferencing technology to deliver task-oriented training to elderly nursing home residents, focusing on cognitive and hand function improvements. |
|
| Home-based Task-orianted Training | Behavioral | Home-Based Task-Oriented Training Intervention Description: This home-based intervention involves a series of task-oriented activities specifically designed to improve cognitive and hand functions for elderly residents in nursing homes. Participants carry out prescribed activities independently, based on detailed guides provided by occupational therapists. The activities are tailored to stimulate cognitive processes and enhance fine motor skills, including tasks like sorting, assembling, and manipulative exercises that replicate daily challenges. Each participant follows a structured program of daily 45-minute sessions for two weeks, with periodic remote check-ins by therapists to assess progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks as needed. This format allows participants to engage in rehabilitation at their own pace, within the comfort of their own living spaces, fostering greater autonomy and adherence to the intervention. |

| Quality of Life Changes Measured by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) | The SF-36 is a survey used to assess quality of life across eight domains: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality (energy/fatigue), social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health (psychological distress and psychological well-being). This measure will evaluate the impact of the intervention on overall well-being and life satisfaction. | Baseline and Post-intervention (immediately after the 2-week intervention). |
