Abstract

Cognitive impairment is one of the most common problems of aging, which has a wide range of common disorders of aging, such disorders can seriously affect their psychological, social and physical well-being. The purpose of this study was to predict cognitive deficits in the elderly based on psychological disorders and metacognitive intermediation. The research method was correlational and the statistical population was all elderly in Tehran, 300 of whom were selected by the Multi-stage random sampling method. Measuring instruments were a checklist of psychological symptoms, cognitive failures of Broadbent et al., and meta-cognition of Wells. Statistical analysis was used for data analysis. The results showed that variables related to psychological disorders such as compulsive obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, anxiety, and psychosis had a direct and significant effect on cognitive impairment. The variables of physical complaints, sensitivity in interpersonal relationships and aggression had a direct and significant effect on insufficiency there was no cognitive experience in the elderly. Also, the study of indirect effects showed that metacognition has a mediator role in the prediction of cognitive impairment in the elderly (p <0.01). According to the findings of this study, variables of psychological disorders and metacognition can predict cognitive impairments in the elderly. Therefore, helping methods can identify vulnerable groups of cognitive impairments and provide advice to specialists to understand the causes and causes, and counseling and prevention of cognitive failures.
