Purpose: This study has been started with the awareness that light and color are the main visual sensors of the multi-sensory stimulation environment to achieve the therapeutic environment for demented elderly. The purpose of this study therefore is for clarifying the application characteristics of therapeutic light and color for dementia care facilities. Methods: Internal and external literature reviews have been conducted for the investigation into a)disorders and visual system in demented elderly, b)therapeutic effects of light and color, c)heliotherapy, light therapy and color therapy to deduce the therapeutic characteristics of light and color for demented elderly, and finally into d)the application characteristics of it for dementia care facilities. Results: The application characteristics of the therapeutic light and color for dementia care facilities are classified into both qualitative and quantitative characteristics. Qualitative application characteristics of light represented using of daylight, using of lighting approximate to daylight, expansion of iluminance level, equality in iluminance Level, reduction of shadow, and as well as exclusion of blare. Quantitative application characteristics of it represented iluminance level, color temperature and color rendering index prescribed in international lighting standards. Qualitative application characteristics of color represented non-monochromatic color, color contrast, long wavelength of yellow-red colors, exclusion of short wavelength of blue colors and patterns, and as well as different colors for idenfication. Quantitative application characteristics of it represented kontrast(K) prescribed in DIN32975:2009 and light reflectance value(LRV) prescribed in BS8300:2009. Implications: To form dementia care facilities as therapeutic environment both qualitative and quantitative application characteristics of therapeutic light and color in dementia care facilities are needed.

Day care center for the elderly is an alternative for community care for frail elderly who need social participation and physical cares and services outside the family. The purpose of this study was to identify the present situation of day care center for the elderly and to suggest desirable interior space plans for elderly day care center. Data were collected by two ways; a mail survey and case studies of existing day care centers. Five cases of day care centers were analyzed to find out Physical and space problems, available programs and services. Also, the staffs in 96 day care centers for the elderly in nationwide were selected for a mail survey and 68.8 percentage of all was collected and analyzed. From the result of case studies, narrow space and lack of accessibility features for wheelchair or other prosthetic devices were the major problems. From the result of a mail survey analysis, the elderly users were over 73 years old, and high proportion had suffered from dementia and apoplexy Also, staffing ration was 1:7 In other words, one staff was caring of 7 old people, and supporting staff was insufficient. Therefore, supportive, therapeutic environment Was more important issue to improve quality of care. Separate program room and outdoor space, lounging space, treatment room by gardening, separate counselling room, bedroom, a simple kitchen unit, staff office, separate physical treatment room, resting room for staff was indicated more necessarily. When priority of planning interior space was safety followed by accessability and convenience, it was also reported that sire of each room was generally narrow. The most serious problem in interior space was the lack and narrowness of space, and accessible features for mobility. Based on the literature review and the findings of this study, two types of floor plans for elderly day care center were suggested;‘a mixed type for the elderly with and without dementia’and‘a separate type for the elderly with dementia.’The main goals for designing interior space for two types of elderly day care center were to provide safe environment, encouraging environment for remaining abilities of users, sanitary environment, therapeutic environment, familiar environment, and socially-encouraging environment. The recommendations for further studies were suggested.

본 연구는 치매환자가 보여주는 다양한 증상의 정도가 주부양자의 케어스트레스에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이에 대한 보호요인으로써 전문가지지 및 가족지지의 영향을 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 서울, 경기, 부산 3개 지역의 주간보호센터 및 병원, 요양시설 10곳을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 활용하였다. 연구대상으로 치매 진단기간 5년 이내인 치매환자의 배우자 및 자녀부양자 191명을 선정하였고, 다중회귀분석을 통해 연구모형 검증에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과 치매환자의 증상정도는 주부양자가 느끼는 정신적 고통인 케어스트레스에 정적인 영향을 나타냈다. 전문가지지와 가족지지의 보호효과를 검증한 결과, 전문가지지는 치매환자의 증상으로 인한 주부양자의 케어스트레스를 완화시켜주는 것으로 나타난 반면, 가족지지의 보호효과는 유의미한 영향을 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구결과는 의료진 및 사회복지사와 같은 전문가지지는 주부양자의 케어스트레스 완화에 효과적이지만 친척과 같은 가족들의 지지는 케어스트레스 완화에 효과적이지 않았음을 보여준다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 치매환자의 부양가족을 대상으로 한 정기적인 치매 증상에 관한 교육의 필요성, 주부양자의 케어스트레스 감소를 위한 지원 정책의 확대, 치매전문인력 구성의 확대 및 협업 시스템의 구축, 치매환자 부양가족구성원 간의 기능 증진을 위한 개입 필요성을 제언하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 치매주간보호센터를 이용하는 치매노인의 서비스 만족도와 서비스 경험의 의미를 탐색하는 것이다. 본 연구는 방법론적 트라이앵귤레이션 연구로, 1:1 면접조사를 위한 대상자는 67명의 치매노인이었고 포커스 그룹 인터뷰 대상자는 15명의 치매노인이었으며 모든 대상자는 치매주간보호센터 이용자 였다. 서비스이용 만족도 조사 노인들의 평균 연령은 $79.95{\pm}5.90$세 였고, 포커스 그룹 인터뷰 조사 대상 노인들의 평균 연령은 $80.07{\pm}5.78$세 였다. 서비스영역별 서비스 만족도의 평균 점수는 $2.86{\pm}0.41{\sim}2.96{\pm}0.30$였다. 최저 점수 영역은 '도움과 보조'였고, 가장 만족도 점수가 높았던 영역은 '음식과 환경'이었다. 57개 서비스 관련 질문 중 14개 질문 영역에서 만족도 점수는 3점 만점이었다. 질적 자료의 내용분석결과에 따르면, 치매주간 보호센터의 경험은 '상호존중과 이해', '참여의 즐거움과 속상함' 등 20개 주제와 35개 하위 주제로 서술되었다. 전체 만족도 점수는 높았고 치매주간보호센터에 대한 경험은 대부분이 긍정적으로 서술되었다. 따라서 경증 치매노인을 위한 치매전문주간보호센터 이용 확대와 확충이 적극적으로 권장되어야한다.

본 연구의 목적은 장기요양시설에 거주하는 치매 노인의 욕구를 대상자와 간호제공자의 관점에서 각각 평가함으로써 치매 노인의 실제적인 욕구를 반영한 중재를 제공하기 위함이다. 본 연구에는 3개의 노인전문병원에서 총 145명의 치매 노인과 62명의 간호사들이 참여하였다. 치매 노인의 충족된 욕구 및 미충족된 욕구는 Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly(CANE) 도구를 이용하여 평가하였다. 치매 노인 대상자의 인지기능, 정신행동상태, 일상생활수행능력(ADL), 도구적 일상생활수행능력(IADL)을 측정하여 총 욕구의 개수와의 상관관계를 파악하였고, 다중회귀분석 방법을 이용하여 욕구에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하였다. 연구결과, 치매 노인이 평가한 평균 욕구의 개수는 11.94개였으며, 평균 미충족 욕구의 개수는 2.91개였다. 반면 간호사들이 평가한 치매 노인의 평균 욕구의 개수는 14.71개였으며, 이중 미충족 욕구는 평균 1.94개였다. 가장 많은 수의 치매 노인들이 미충족 욕구로 인식한 영역은 낮 시간 활동 영역이었다(42.2%, n=61). 반면 간호사들의 경우 24.1%(n=14)만이 이 영역에 대한 욕구가 미충족 되었다고 평가하여 두 집단 사이에 차이가 있음을 나타내었다. 치매 노인의 총 욕구의 수에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인은 IADL과 ADL 수준이었다. 따라서 장기요양시설의 간호제공자들은 치매 노인의 충족 및 미충족 욕구 평가시 대상자의 관점을 반영하여 이를 바탕으로 간호의 우선순위를 설정해야 하며, 대상자들의 일상생활 수행에 충분한 도움을 주어야 하겠다. 향후 지역사회 치매 환자 및 보호자를 대상으로 치매 환자의 욕구 평가 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study tries to explore experiences with a special rating dementia service among family caregivers of elderly people with dementia. Methods: The participants were 11 family caregivers of elderly people with dementia and had used a day-care service from the special rating dementia service for more than 3 months. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Results: Three categories emerged: "reminiscence of an entangled life", "feeling relieved from a stifled life", and "hope for a better life through help and support" with 8 sub-categories and 23 codes. By using the special rating dementia service, the participants experienced relief from the burden of caring for their elderly family member with dementia and restored their social relations or family relationships. They experienced a positive transition in which their caring for elderly family members with dementia was integrated into their daily lives, and they expressed their desires for better policies. Conclusion: These findings imply the importance and necessity of the special rating dementia service. Practical and systematic family support programs are necessary and proactive publicity activities by the government and public agencies are suggested to ensure that family caregivers can easily use the special rating dementia system.
