Fig. 2

The timeline of the study indicates when the questionnaire and cognitive function tests will be administered. The tests will be administered to the participant on three occasions. The first time will be before the surgery as a baseline. The tests will be administered a second time after surgery to determine whether the surgery affected cognitive functions. The participants will be randomly split into two groups: 1) the group that receives SCRA cognitive intervention and 2) the waitlist control group. The cognitive intervention group will continue the cognitive intervention for 12 weeks. The no-SCRA control group will continue life as normal for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, both groups will be administered the final round of tests to determine if SCRA intervention improved cognitive functions. The tests will be conducted in a ward or outpatient room at Tohoku University Hospital of Thoracic Surgery
