Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome measures are sustained and divided attention and working memory, which will be measured with objective neuropsychological tests. For general cognitive screening, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be used. Changes in visual selective attention, processing speed and concentration are measured with the D2 test. Changes in visual attention, executive function (divided attention) and processing speed are measured with the TMT A & B. The Stroop Test measures mental speed, executive attention and response inhibition. Attention and working memory are examined using the digit span forward (DSF) and digit span backward (DSB). Together with 'Arithmetics', an index for working memory can be calculated. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome measures are self-management, subjective cognitive complaints, mood, fatigue and quality of life, which will be measured with standardized questionnaires. The feasibility of the blended care pathway will be qualitatively evaluated by documenting compliance with the protocol (number of completed sessions, dropouts), the outcomes of focus groups (barriers and facilitators), an evaluation form (yet to be developed) and a standardized questionnaire, with which the appreciation of the process of implementation by therapists is evaluated. | — |
