Abstract

This study was conducted to apply occupational reminiscence therapy (ORT) to the elderly diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who reside in the local community and determine its effects on cognitive functions, physical health, communication and interaction skills, and depression. The participants were elderly diagnosed with MCI who visited YW community health center on a regular basis and were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received eight one hour sessions of ORT once a week. Individual interviews were then conducted with the participants to determine if an event or activity had been commonly experienced, after which the program was modified and supplemented as necessary by referring to previous programs. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated, and differences before and after ORT's were identified by paired t-tests. Moreover, the Mann-Whitney U-test was conducted to identify differences in variances between groups. Only participants in the experimental group (n=9) reported significant improvements in cognitive function, physical health status, communication and interaction skills, and depression when compared to those in the control group (n=9). Therefore, it is expected that ORT will be actively used as a non-pharmacological intervention for preventing dementia and improving the health of elderly persons with MCI.

본 연구는 지역사회에 거주하는 경도인지장애로 진단받은 노인들을 대상으로 작업회상치료(ORT)를 적용한 후 인지기능, 신체적 건강상태, 의사소통과 상호작용 기술 및 우울감에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 경도인지장애 진단받은 만 65세 이상의 노인으로 YW 보건소에 등록되어 정기적으로 내원하는 자로 실험군과 대조군으로 임의로 할당하였고 실험군에게 1주일에 1회, 1시간씩 총 8회기 작업회상치료를 실시하였다. 작업회상치료 프로그램은 대상자들의 개별 인터뷰를 통해 공통으로 경험한 사건 및 활동을 확인하고, 선행 연구에서 사용된 프로그램들에 대한 문헌을 고찰하여 종합한 후 내용타당도 검증을 실시하였다. 작업회상치료가 미치는 효과에 대한 전 후간 차이 검증은 paired t-test, 중재 후 실험군과 대조군 간의 변화량 차이 검증은 Mann-Whitney U 검정을 실시하였다. 그 결과 실험군(n=9)이 대조군(n=9)에 비해 인지기능, 신체적 건강상태, 의사소통과 상호작용 기술 및 우울감에서 유의미한 향상을 보였다. 이로써, 작업회상치료(ORT)는 경도인지장애 노인의 치매를 예방하고 건강 유지 및 증진에 효과적인 비약물적 치료 방법의 하나로 적극 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
