About this study

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.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks

    Feasibility by measuring the attendance rate.

  2. Staff acceptability

    Time frame: end of the treatment at 8 weeks

    Acceptability survey collecting staff feedback with questions from 0 (completely disagree) to 10 (completely agree)

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Personal Wellbeing Index - Intellectual Disability (PWI-ID) (Chinese - Cantonese version) (Cummins & Lau, 2005)

    Time frame: Enrollment, one week after the end of treatment, seven weeks after the end of treatment

    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.

  2. Prudhoe Cognitive Function Test (PCFT) short version (Tyrer et al., 2010)

    Time frame: Enrollment, one week after the end of treatment, seven weeks after the end of treatment

    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.
