Older adults who receive the cognitive stimulation interventions exhibit higher cognitive self-efficacy and sense of happiness than those who do not receive it.

Detailed description: A convenient sample of eighty (80) older adults will be used according Epi info V 7.0 program calculation based on the following statistical parameters ; Population size: 250, expected frequency: 50%, confidence coefficient: 95%, acceptable error: 10%, minimum sample size = 70.

The study will include eighty (80) older adults aged 60 years and more and fulfilling the following criteria:

Inclusion criteria

1. Aged 60 years and old.
2. Able to read and write.
3. Have mild cognitive impairment: score of score of 18-23 based on the Mini Mental State Examination Scale (MMSE).
4. Have no depression: score of 0 to 4 using the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS_SF).
5. Accept participation in the study. 6. Available at the selected setting during the time of data collection. 7. Have no pronounced impairment of their visual and auditory abilities could affect their participation in the group and make use of most of the materials in the sessions, as determined by the researchers.

The selected study subjects (80) will be randomly assigned to two equal groups of 40 older adults each as flows; Group 1, study group: include older adults who will receive the proposed interventions, cognitive stimulation interventions.

Group 2, control group: include older adults who will receive the routine activities of the elderly club.
