Abstract

Objective: Diabetes leads to loss of cognitive function in patients. The aim of the present study was to study the effect of cognitive computer-based training program on memory and attention increase in students with diabetes. Method: The research was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with the control group in which 18 students with diabetes (in two nine-person groups of experimental and control) were selected from Diabetes Association of Bonab city. The memory and attention of both experimental and control groups were measured in the pre-test step. Then, students of the experimental group were exposed to attention and memory improvement exercises individually in 10 half-hour sessions with the help of working memory training software. Once again, in the post-test step, memory and attention of both experimental and control groups were measured. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. Results: The results indicated an increase in memory function and attention of students in the experimental group and the rehabilitation intervention for guidance and high school students and patients with a history of fewer than 5 years and more than 5 years has been equally effective. Conclusion: We can say that cognitive computer-based training is necessary, useful, and effective for increasing attention and memory function in diabetic students.
