노인인구의 증가에 따라 노인성 질환이 증가하고, 대표적 노인성 질환직 하나인 치매도 점점 증가하고 있다. 이제까지 치매가 노화의 한 정상적인 과점으로 여겨져왔고 최근에 와서야 하나의 질병으로 인식하기 시작하였기 때문에, 그간 치매노인의 의료복지적 측면의 관리가 소홀하였고 가족의 어려움이 켰었다. 본 연구는 치매노인 시설을 이용하고 있는 치매노인 가족간호자를 대상으로 치매노인의 일상생활 기능손상정도 및 건강상태, 가족간호자의 간호부담정도, 사회적지지, 치매노인과 가족간호자의 삶의 질 정도, 그리고 그들이 어떤 사희복지적지지 서비스를 이용하려 하는 지를 파악하여, 앞으로의 치매노인과 그 가족간호자의 부함을 경감하고 삶의 질을 개선할 수 있는 대안마련의 기초자료를 제공할 목적으로 수행되었다.

The purpose of this study is to predict the usefulness and predictable effects of the use of dementia prevention games and dementia management applications provided in smart-phones for the elderly. First, 6 dementia diagnostic tools used to verify the effectiveness of the dementia prevention program were selected and the cognitive domains tested by each diagnostic tool were extracted. Second, 29 smart-phone dementia prevention game applications and dementia management applications were selected and the expected effects after using these applications were analyzed in connection with the cognitive domain extracted from the dementia diagnosis tool. As a result, it was expected that it would be helpful to manage dementia prevention by improving cognitive function in certain areas when playing games or managing dementia continuously using smart-phone dementia prevention applications. Smart-phone dementia prevention applications will be useful in improving the cognitive ability of the elderly and preventing dementia by supplementing the limitations of the dementia prevention program that is operated offline through time-space ease of use, continuous usability and economic feasibility.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing file-up family stress in the caregivers of patients with dementia. Data was collected by questionnaires from 102 families with a member having a dementia, at neurology departments of hospitals, temporary shelter for dementia patient, and nursing homes for the elderly. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. In results, the score of file-up stress showed a significantly negative correlation with the score of level of family hardiness(r=-.200, p=.026), social support(r=-.361, p=.004), relative and friend support(r=-.416, p=.001), and F-COPES(r=-.345, p=.048). The multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of file-up family stress was family cost for patients with dementia. The results contribute to the understanding of Korean family caregivers' perceptions of caregiveing. Further researches should be conducted with the consideration of Korean traditional custom that family should take care of the elderly family members.

의료기술 및 생활수준의 향상과 함께 우리나라의 평균수명은 꾸준하게 늘어 2016년에는 65세 이상 인구가 전체의 20% 넘을 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 노인인구의 증가와 더불어 노인성 치매는 오늘날의 고령화 사회에서 높은 발병율(65세 이상 인구의 10%, 75세 이상 인구의 25%, 85세 이상 인구의 50%에서 발생)을 보이고 있어 심각한 사회문제의 하나로 대두되고 있다. 또한 우리나라 치매노인의 증상은 가벼운 경우가 59.2%, 중등정도 27.2%, 아주 심한 경우가 13.6%이며 이중 치료를 통해 완치되는 경우는 겨우 14%에 불과하며 85% 이상이 치료불가능으로 보고되고 있다. 이와 같이 노인성 치매는 일단 발병하면 완전 치료가 거의 불가능할 뿐만 아니라 심하면 한 가정의 파탄을 초래하기도 할만큼 치매간호에 소요되는 정신적, 육체적, 경제적 고통은 막대하다. 따라서 의.약학계에서도 치매치료제에 대하여 다각도로 연구하고 있으나 지금까지 개발된 화학적 합성 의약품은 그 효능여부와 부작용 등의 논란이 크게 대두되고 있으며 또한 치매는 어떠한 질병보다 예방의 중요성이 인식되고 있는 만큼 이러한 부작용을 최소화 할 수 있는 예방 또는 개선차원의 식품소재개발이 중요하다고 하겠으며 이에 대한 연구자의 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본고에서는 현재 치매예방 및 치료제의 개발현황과 연구동향을 소개하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine different patterns of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and caregiver burden according to dementia type. Data were collected from June 2014 to December 2014 from five nursing homes. In all, 214 patients [131 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 83 patients with Vascular dementia (VD)] were included in the study. BPSD and caregiver burden data were examined using NPI-NH (Neuropsychiatric Inventory Nursing Home Version). According to the results, both the AD and VD group showed the highest frequency in apathy/indifference and the frequency of anxiety, elation/euphoria, and irritability/lability was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group. The difference in total BPSD composite scores between the AD and VD groups was not significant but agitation/aggression was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group. The mean score for caregiver burden was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group, particularly in agitation/aggression. In conclusion, BPSD differed according to dementia type, and nurses should provide specific interventions to control BPSD; a program to reduce caregiver burden according to dementia type is also needed.

본 연구는 2001년 한국에서 사망한 60세 이상 노인들 62,000명의 사망기록 자료를 이용하여 사망원인의 다양성을 보여주는 한편 치매에 의한 사망원인을 가장 잘 예측할 수 있는 변수를 경험적으로 규명하고자 실시하였다. 이와 같은 목적을 위한 연구내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인들의 주요 사망원인에 해당하는 악성종양, 뇌혈관 질환, 심장병, 당뇨, 만성 호흡기 질환, 치매, 고혈압, 간 질환, 사고, 결핵 및 기타 질병 등 11개 사망원인에 대하여 빈도분석을 실시하였다. 둘째, 60세 이상 사망자들 가운데 치매에 의한 사망원인과 나머지 19개의 사망원인을 비교하여 치매에 의한 사망에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 다항로지스틱회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 노인인구 가운데 연령이 높을수록 치매로 인하여 사망할 가능성(우도비)이 높으며 여성이 남성에 비해 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 교육수준이 높을수록 치매에 의하여 사망할 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 거주지역은 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 있었으나 일관성은 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 결혼지위는 치매에 의한 사망과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of bibliotherapy on the levels of cognitive function, depression, and social behavior in the elderly with mild dementia. For this quasi-experimental research, a total of 166 subjects the age of from 90 to 65 were selected of the 166, were divided into the experimental group and control group for six months. These findings confirmed that the dementia Bibliotherapy program made a contribution to improve cognitive function and social behavior, and to reduce depression in the elderly with mild dementia. Therefore, it is recommended that this program be used in clinical practice as an effective Bibliotherapy program for the elderly with mild dementia.

South Korea faces elderly care crisis with both low fertility rate and rapid ageing rate. Long-term care insurance in 2008 has taken care burden from family to nation. However, few options, lack of tailored services, and unstable community care plan caused blankness of care in some areas. Especially, increasing dementia rate has become an emergent social issue. Welfare technology could be a useful alternative to fill out the gap between demand and supply. Using FGI method on two groups(high-risk dementia group and MCI group), intimacy, accessibility and preventive way of dementia with welfare technology are analysed in this paper. Despites of a few differences of dementia progress, interests towards technology are expressed. More suggestions using TV and normal telephone to improve daily independence are presented as well. Amongst MCI group, help-service for technology-use at ADS and linkage ways of in-home services are also suggested.

The purpose of this study is to identify the differences of stress according to general characteristics and find stress related factors to reduce stress level of family caregivers for demented elderly. Subjects were 72 family caregivers for demented elderly in Seoul and Gyunggi province. Stress were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test and multiple regression according to gender, age, residence, marital status, number of family members, number of children, religion, education level, occupation, monthly income, relation with the demented elderly, caring years of the demented elderly and symptom of family caregivers for demented elderly. The results were as follows. First, the stress of family caregivers for demented elderly were significantly high in number of family members who live alone with demented elderly, education level with elementary school or below, monthly income with below 2,000,000 won, and the ones who have symptom by taking care of demented elderly. Second, stress related factors of family caregivers for the demented elderly were women, age between 60-69, number of family members that live alone with demented elderly, education level with elementary school or below, monthly income with between 1,000,000 - below 2,990,000 won, daughter-in-law and son of demented elderly. The family who live alone with demented elderly, family with low education level and low monthly income were important variables of family caregivers' stress for the demented elderly. Therefore it is assumed that support for family who living alone with demented elderly, family with low education level and low monthly income can reduce the stress of family caregivers for the demented elderly.
