The objectives of our study are to determine whether people with delirium in a subacute care unit improve after one week with non-pharmacological therapies based on improving sleep schedules, mobility, and cognitive stimulation (such as memory, attention, orientation, among others), and to compare two groups of people who will receive slightly different therapies.
We will try to determine whether individual characteristics (such as diagnosed diseases, blood test results or genetics, gender, age, educational level, among others) influence the onset of an episode of delirium, its severity and its response to treatment.
Participants with delirium will be divided into two groups that will receive:
* The non-pharmacological treatment described
* One group will also receive a specific cognitive intervention from an occupational therapist, using a computer programme on a tablet, twice a day for one week.
After one week, the presence and severity of delirium will be reassessed.
