Research projects
The project involvedÌýthe translation and cultural adaptation of the CST manual. TheÌýstudy wasÌýconducted at the Memory Clinic (Clínica de la Memoria) in AMI (Asistencia Médica Integral) in Florencio Varela, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.ÌýThe adaptation was made following the FMAP method (formative method for adapting psychotherapy)Ìýdeveloped by Hwang W. C. This involved interviews with people with dementia and caregivers, and consultation with healthcare professionals. AÌýfeasibility study was then carried out in order to test the applicability and cultural sensitivity of the adapted manual to the Argentinian population living from dementia. This involved running two CST groups, each with 4 participants.
