      • Jigsaw method is a structured cooperative-learning technique that lays the groundwork towards achieving collective competence, which forms the core of effective clinical practice. It promotes deep learning and effectively enhances team-work among students, hence creating a more inclusive environment.

  2. Oct 1, 2018 · Here, we aimed to close the science-practice gap between a lack of research on the cognitive demands and effects of jigsaw puzzling and its frequent use as a leisure activity. First, we evaluated whether and which visuospatial cognitive abilities are tapped by solving JPs.

  3. Sep 6, 2017 · We believe that these characteristics of currently investigated cognitive activities reduce their feasibility and implementation in clinical practice. Solving jigsaw puzzles is a cognitively challenging activity, especially within the visuospatial cognitive domain.

    The Ethics Committee of Ulm University approved this study. We will invite individuals interested in participating in the study to a telephone-based interview. Here, they will receive detailed study information and give oral informed consent. A pre-screening will assess eligibility (t1, see Figs. 1 and 2). At an appointment at Ulm University, succe...

    The study aims to include 100 participants who we will recruit via local newspaper articles and flyers. Inclusion criteria are 50 years of age or older, unimpaired cognition defined by a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 24, the commitment to invest at least 1 h per day for 30 days in solving jigsaw puzzles within a 5-week period, an in...

    All outcomes of the study are continuously scaled and we will assess the mean change between baseline (t1) and posttest assessments (t6, approximately 5 weeks after t1). The outcome domains and their specific measurement, and the assessment of participants’ expectations, predictive variables of cognitive decline, and adverse events are described in...

    Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, the jigsaw puzzle group or the cognitive health counseling group (see Fig. 2). The jigsaw puzzle group will receive the 30-day jigsaw puzzle intervention and the cognitive health counseling, while the cognitive health counseling group will receive the cognitive health counseling only. We ...

    We will use stratified, blocked randomization to avoid baseline differences in age and cognitive status between the cognitive health counseling group and the jigsaw puzzle group, while at the same time achieving groups of similar sizes. We will stratify participants into two age bands (50–64 years and 65 years and older) and two cognitive status ba...

    Outcome assessors will be blinded to group allocation of participants. To prevent disclosure of group assignment by participants, we will remind them at the last telephone interview (t5) not to bring the solved jigsaw puzzles to the posttest assessment. Second, we will remind them at the last telephone interview (t5) and immediately before the post...

    To ensure the application of the intention-to-treat principle, great effort must be invested to prevent dropouts, noncompliance, and missing outcome data, which introduce deviation from the randomization scheme [51, 52]. We will use different strategies including good personal contact through the telephone-based counseling; payment of 20€ for prete...

    The primary efficacy analysis will be based on mixed-effects models' group × time interaction in an intention-to-treat approach that includes all randomly assigned participants with follow-up observations. Effect sizes will include standardized differences in the pretest-posttest change scores between both groups. Standardization will be based on...

  4. Oct 1, 2018 · In sum, our results indicate that jigsaw puzzling strongly engages multiple cognitive abilities and long-term, but not short-term JP experiences could relevantly benefit cognition. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02667314.

  5. Solving jigsaw puzzles is a cognitive activity without these hindering characteristics, but cognitive effects have not been investigated yet. With this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of solving jigsaw puzzles on visuospatial cognition, daily functioning, and psychological outcomes.

  6. Feb 1, 2024 · A comprehensive literature review revealed that while meta-analyses have assessed the impact of cooperative learning methods on students, none have been conducted in recent years (specifically from January 2011 to December 2022) to examine the effects of the Jigsaw technique exclusively applied to nursing students.

  7. controlled trial comparing five consecutive days of regular online jigsaw puzzling (JP) against a no-treatment control group in improving mental well-being outcomes in older adults.
