Material gráfico como aporte en la estimulación cognitiva de adultos mayores en el asilo Señor de los Remedios

Abstract

The present study focuses on addressing the lack of adapted materials for cognitive stimulation in older adults at the Señor de los Remedios senior care center, where current therapies are implemented using limited and generalized tangible resources. To bridge this gap, the study proposes: evaluating existing intervention materials, identifying current cognitive activities and needs among residents, and developing a graphic toolkit with recreational, leisure, and cognitive reinforcement activities based on cognitive stimulation interventions. Through a deductive method and mixed-methodology approach, technical criteria from psychology, geriatric care, and graphic design were analyzed. This included an assessment of visual materials to create a three-component proposal encompassing art therapy, play therapy, motor skills training, group activities, and reminiscence therapy. In conclusion, the designed graphic materials aim to serve as a playful support tool for recreational and stimulatory purposes, without replacing medical or psychological interventions.
