Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effects of low-density exercise on physical and psychological function of the frail elderly. The research design was nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, x2-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ with SPSS/Win 17.0 program. There was a significant improvement in Lt. Grip strength(U=56.00, p<.000), Rt. Grip strength(U=40.00, p<.000), TUG(U=95.00, p<.022), Depression(U=94.00, p<.011) in the experimental group compared to the control group. The low-density exercise program showed the effects to improve the physical and psychological functions of the frail elderly. In recommendation, this exercise program could be utilized as a health promoting program for the frail elderly.

본 연구는 재가 허약노인을 대상으로 저강도 운동 프로그램이 신체적 기능(악력, 정적균형, 복합적 이동능력), 심리적 기능(우울, 삶의 질)에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 시도된 비동등대조군 전후설계연구이다. 연구결과, 실험군의 악력은 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고 복합적 이동능력도 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였으나 정적 균형은 운동 수행 후 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 우울은 운동수행 후 유의하게 감소하였으며, 삶의 질은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 재가 허약노인을 위한 저강도 운동 프로그램은 허약노인들의 신체적 기능 향상과 심리적 건강상태를 긍정적으로 변화시키는데 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 재가 허약노인을 위한 저강도 운동 프로그램의 빈도와 강도를 연장하여 그 효과의 지속성을 검정할 수 있는 반복연구를 제언한다.
