About this study
Official title: Feasibility, Acceptability and Benefits of "Wai Ji Match Fun" Card Games on Cognitive Performance and Psychosocial Wellbeing for People With Intellectual Disabilities
A new set of card game, Wai Ji Match Fun (WJMF), has been developed by Wai Ji Christian Service (WJCS), a non-governmental organization in Hong Kong, specifically designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). The game aims to enhance cognitive performance and psychosocial well-being while facilitating daily participation.
Read the detailed description
This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of WJMF for individuals with ID, and its immediate and carry-over impacts on psychosocial well-being and cognitive function. Sixty-four adult participants with mild to moderate ID were recruited for the study. Each participant attends a weekly 60-minute WJMF group program over an 8-week period. Groups of four participants are facilitated by occupational therapists or rehabilitation assistants. Outcome measures include the Personal Wellbeing Index - Intellectual Disability (PWI-ID) (Chinese-Cantonese version), the short version of the Prudhoe Cognitive Function Test (PCFT), attendance rates, and staff feedback on feasibility and acceptability.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility by measuring the attendance rate
Feasibility by measuring the attendance rate.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
Staff acceptability
Acceptability survey collecting staff feedback with questions from 0 (completely disagree) to 10 (completely agree)
Measured: end of the treatment at 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
The Personal Wellbeing Index - Intellectual Disability (PWI-ID) (Chinese - Cantonese version) (Cummins & Lau, 2005)
An 8-item scale measuring 7 domains in quality of life through interviews. The 8 scales include standard of living, health, life achievement, personal relationships, personal safety, community-connectedness, and future security. Participants rate their well-being using a scale tailored to their abilities: a 0-10-point scale or a system utilising 2, 3, or 5 facial expressions to indicate levels of sadness to happiness.
Measured: Enrollment, one week after the end of treatment, seven weeks after the end of treatment
Prudhoe Cognitive Function Test (PCFT) short version (Tyrer et al., 2010)
A structured interview that has been developed to assess cognitive function in subjects with intellectual disability (Kay et al., 2003). The short version of PCFT consists of six sub-domains: orientation, recall-I, language, praxis, recall-II and calculation (Tyrer et al., 2010), totalling 21 questions. The maximum score for the test is 30.
Measured: Enrollment, one week after the end of treatment, seven weeks after the end of treatment
