Abstract

This study investigated the relationships between sensory processing patterns and pain catastrophizing levels in well older adults to provide basic information for rehabilitation intervention. The participants of this study were 216 older adults aged over 65. The Adolescent/Adults Sensory Profile(AASP) was used to measure sensory processing patterns and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale(PCS) was employed to evaluate psychological variables of the pain. Self perception of the pain was measured with the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS). Gender and age differences were analyzed with t-test and relationships among sensory processing patterns, pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels were analyzed with Pearson product-moment coefficients of correlation. Women had higher 'sensory sensitivity' and 'sensory avoiding.' The group over 75 years old had higher 'sensory avoiding,' 'low registration' and 'sensory seeking.' Women had higher pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels. Negative correlations between 'rumination' and 'low registration' and 'helplessness' and 'sensory seeking' were found. Positive correlations were found between pain catastrophizing and pain symptom levels when they were 'sensory sensitivity' and 'sensory avoiding.' The results infer that sensory processing patterns are associated with psychological variables of the pain and there are differences based on gender and age. Further studies are warranted to support the results.

본 연구는 노인의 감각처리유형과 통증 파국화 수준과의 상관관계에 대하여 알아보고, 이를 통해 재활중재를 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 65세 이상 노인 216명으로 하였다. 감각처리의 유형은 청소년/성인 감각프로파일을 사용하여 측정하였고, 통증의 심리적인 변인들은 통증파국화척도를 사용하여 측정하였다. 성별과 연령에 따른 차이는 t-검정을, 감각처리유형과 통증파국화와의 상관관계를 피어슨 상관분석을 실시하였다. 감각처리유형은 여성이 남성에 비해 '감각민감', '감각회피'의 경향이 높았으며(p<.05), 연령이 75세 이상인 군이 65~74세 군에 비해 '감각회피', '등록저하', '감각찾기'의 경향이 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 감각처리유형이 '등록저하'일 때 통증파국화의 '반추적사고'와 그리고 '감각찾기'일 때 통증 파국화의 '무력감'과 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. '감각민감', '감각회피' 일 때 통증파국화의 모든 항목에서 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 65세 이상 노인의 감각처리 유형은 통증에 대한 심리적인 변인과 관련되어 있으며, 성별과 연령에 따라 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로는 노인의 감각처리 유형 및 통증관련 요인들에 관한 더 진전된 연구가 이루어지기를 기대한다.
