Materials and Methods: Data were collected through individual face-to-face interviews with 25 elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment, and analyzed using interpretive description method. Results: Five core themes emerged from the analysis of data: (i) program with four subthemes of “interesting session, ” “effective teaching materials,” “suitable duration and frequency” and “small group activities;” (ii) group facilitators with three subthemes of “good explanation,” “always facilitate” and “friendly personality;” (iii) homework assignments with two subthemes of “suitable content” and “can adapt in daily living;” (iv) family members with two subthemes of “supporting” and “sharing;” (v) before and after class notification. Conclusion: Increasing awareness of holistic factors including in clinic and at home should be emphasized in planning cognitive stimulation training. Having an effective program and facilitators and collaboration from family member were the keys of successful training.
