Abstract

Falls are one of the most serious problem that threatens the health of the elderly. This study was conducted twice a week for six weeks from May to June 2014 to evaluate the effectiveness of fall prevention exercises for rural seniors. This study analyzed the effects by comparing before and after exercise on the TUG, FRT, BBS, ADL, fear of falls, fall efficacy, and depression. The results of this study was as follows: Hypothesis1, "a TUG of post-test will improve more than the pre-test", was supported. Hypothesis3, "BBS of the post-test would improve more than the pre-test" was supported. In addition, the FRT, ADL, fear of fall, fall efficacy, and depression of post-test would improve more than the pre-test. Accordingly this study showed that fall prevention exercises are effective in improving the physical function (TUG, FRT, BBS, and ADL) and emotional function (fear of fall, fall efficacy, and depression) in rural seniors.

본 논문은 노인의 건강을 위협하는 가장 심각한 문제 중의 하나인 낙상을 예방하기 위하여 2014년 5월부터 6월 까지 1주에 2번씩 6주 동안 낙상을 예방하기 위한 운동을 시행하였고, 시행 전 후 TUG, FRT, BBS, ADL, 낙상공포감, 낙상효능감, 우울의 정도를 비교하여 운동의 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 본 연구의 가설 검정에서 제1가설 "낙상예방운동에 참여한 노인은 참여하기 전보다 FRT가 향상될 것이다"의 T-test 검정 결과는 사전 사후(F=3.14, p<.05)로 TUG 점수는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고, 제3가설 "낙상예방운동에 참여한 노인은 참여하기전보다 BBS(균형정도)가 향상될 것이다"의 T-test 검정 결과는 사전 사후(F=-5.74, p<.001)로 BBS의 점수도 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그 외 FRT, ADL, 낙상공포감, 낙상효능감, 우울의 점수는 통계적으로 유의하진 않으나 개선된 결과를 보여 본 연구에서 적용했던 운동이 농촌 노인의 낙상예방에 효과가 있었음을 확인하였다.
