Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the cognitive activity integration program to delay the progression of the mild demented elderly. The subjects were divided into experimental group and comparative group for 12 cases of mild dementia, and the cognitive activity integration program was conducted for 8 weeks and compared with the MMSE-K, ADL & IADL, CDR and GDS scales. The results show that the effectiveness and continuity of the program are as follows. First, as an implication of practical dimension, integrated program of fusion and complexity is more effective than cognitive activity program of single domain. Second, the cognitive activity integration program must be continuously provided to maintain its effectiveness. Third, the cognitive activity integration program is as important as the practice process. It is necessary to develop and disseminate a cognitive activity integration program that reflects fusion and complex treatment techniques applicable to the elderly with mild dementia by practical suggestion. Policy suggestions are needed to continue the ongoing cognitive activity integration program, to maintain effectiveness, and to delay the progress of dementia.

본 연구는 경증 치매노인들의 진행을 지연시키기 위한 인지활동 통합프로그램의 효과성을 검증한 것이다. 경증치매 노인을 12명씩 실험집단과 비교집단으로 나누어 인지활동 통합프로그램을 8주간 진행하여 MMSE-K와 ADL(일상생활기능), IADL(도구적 일상생활기능), CDR, GDS 척도로 사전, 1차 사후, 4주 후 2차 사후를 비교 관찰함으로써 프로그램의 효과성과 지속여부를 다음과 같이 도출하였다. 첫째, 실천적 차원의 함의로서 단일영역의 인지활동 프로그램보다 융 복합적 영역의 통합프로그램의 효과성이 높다는 것이다. 둘째, 인지활동 통합프로그램은 지속해서 제공되어야 효과가 유지된다는 점이다. 경증 치매노인의 특성상 지속적으로 프로그램을 제공하지 않으면 효과성을 보장할 수 없다. 셋째, 인지활동 통합프로그램은 종결 후 마무리가 실천과정 만큼 중요하다는 점이다. 이 활동을 통하여 표현능력과 기억력을 유지하고 생활에 적용하도록 자극하며 성취감을 높일 수 있는 효과를 확인하였다. 실천적 제언으로 경증 치매노인에게 적용할 수 있는 융 복합적인 치료 기법이 반영된 인지활동 통합프로그램의 개발과 보급이 필요하다. 정책적 제언으로는 지속적인 인지활동 통합프로그램의 진행과 효과성의 유지 및 치매의 진전을 지연시키기 위하여 전문인력이 필요하다.
