CST Research Projects
A multicentre study on the efficacy of the adaptation of CST for Spain (CST-ES) will be carried out during the year 2023.
Adapting Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for Dementia to the Spanish Culture.
The project involves the translation to Spanish language and cultural adaptation of the manuals for Group and Maintenance CST ('Making a Difference 1: An Evidence-based Group Programme to Offer Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) to People with Dementia' and 'Making a Difference 2: An Evidence-based Group Programme to Offer Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) to People with Dementia'). A pilot study is planned for 2021 to assess implementation and feasibility of CST.
