About

A new set of card game, Wai Ji Match Fun (WJMF), has been developed by Wai Ji Christian Service (WJCS), a non-governmental organization in Hong Kong, specifically designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). The game aims to enhance cognitive performance and psychosocial well-being while facilitating daily participation.

Full description

This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of WJMF for individuals with ID, and its immediate and carry-over impacts on psychosocial well-being and cognitive function. Sixty-four adult participants with mild to moderate ID were recruited for the study. Each participant attends a weekly 60-minute WJMF group program over an 8-week period. Groups of four participants are facilitated by occupational therapists or rehabilitation assistants. Outcome measures include the Personal Wellbeing Index - Intellectual Disability (PWI-ID) (Chinese-Cantonese version), the short version of the Prudhoe Cognitive Function Test (PCFT), attendance rates, and staff feedback on feasibility and acceptability.
