This study aims to evaluate the effects of a scaffolding-based board game intervention on cognitive and functional outcomes in older adults with schizophrenia living in psychiatric nursing homes. Participants will be assigned by clusters to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a 12-week board game training program, while the control group will receive usual care. Cognitive and functional outcomes will be assessed before the intervention, immediately after the 12-week intervention, and three months after the intervention. The study will examine whether the board game intervention can improve cognitive and daily functioning in older adults with schizophrenia.

Cognitive Function Assessed by MoCA-TW 7.1
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Taiwan Version 7.1 (MoCA-TW 7.1) is used to assess global cognitive function. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
Time frame: Baseline, immediately after the 12-week intervention, and 3 months after completion of the intervention

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 2 months later.
Of 753 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Schizophrenia, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 56. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 766 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 56.
