Previous in-depth interviews with individuals who had been diagnosed with dementia and were engaged in inclusive work environments revealed that such engagement enhanced their self-esteem and promoted their mental well-being.
The present study aimed to explore the potential effects of inclusive work participation on the cognitive function, mental health, and social participation of individuals with cognitive decline, as well as on the mental health of their family members.
This study is positioned as a pilot study intended to inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial.
