초록

본 연구는 레크리에이션 치료 프로그램이 치매 노인들의 인지기능과 균형감각에 미치는 영향을 조사 분석하고자 실시되었다. 연구대상은 알츠하이머형 치매를 진단받은 노인 16명을 대상으로 6 개월 동안 레크리에이션 치료 프로그램을 제공하였으며, 실험군과 대조군 두 그룹의 프로그램 제공전과 후의 인지기능과 균형감각의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과 레크리에이션 치료 프로그램은 알츠하이머형 치매 노인의 인지기능과 균형감각을 유지시키거나 증진시키는 것으로 보고되었다. 연구 대상자 모집과 손실 및 레크리에이션 치료 프로그램 기간과 같은 변수 통제의 어려움을 제한점으로 볼 수 있으나 레크리에이션 치료와 같은 비약리적 방법의 개발과 효과성 검증의 측면에서 치매 노인의 재활치료 연구에 기여하였다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of recreation therapy program on cognitive function and balance sensation of demented elderly patients. The subjects were 16 elderly patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia, divided into experimental group and control group. Recreation therapy program was provided to experimental group for 6 months and the change of cognitive function and balance before and after treatment was analyzed in both groups. The research concluded that the recreation therapy program maintained or even enhanced cognitive function and balance in the elderly with Alzheimer's dementia. The development along with the verification of effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods such as recreational therapy contributed to the study of treatment for the elderly with dementia.
