Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of multi-sensory stimulation training on cognitive function and balance skill of the community resident elderly. Methods : 10 participants who is over aged 65 years carry out multisensory stimulation training program for 12weeks, once a week for 60minutes. The multisensory stimulation training program is consisted of total 12 topic based on body schema, gross muscle and tactile stimulation. The result was measured using Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean and Berg Balance Scale to evaluate before and after of cognitive function and balance skill. And after intervention, the satisfaction of the program was investigated. Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test was used to compare pre- post difference of cognitive function and balance skill. Results : There was significant difference in cognitive function and balance skill(p<.05) and the satisfaction is positive at the end of the program. Conclusion : The multisensory stimulation training program has positive effects on cognitive function and balance skill for elderly. And the satisfaction is positive at the end of the program. The multisensory stimulation training program can enhance the satisfaction to elderly in the aging society. So, additional studies is needed for efficient use.

목적 : 본 연구는 다감각 자극훈련이 노인의 인지기능 및 균형능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 지역사회에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 10명을 대상으로 다감각 자극훈련을 주 1회 60분씩 12주 동안 진행하였다. 다감각 자극훈련은 신체도식, 대근육, 촉각자극 영역을 포함한 총 12가지 주제에 맞는 활동으로 구성된 프로그램이다. 결과측정은 한국형-간이정신상태평가(Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean, MMSE-K)와 버그균형검사(Berg Balance Scale, BBS)를 사용하여 대상자의 사전사후 인지기능과 균형 능력을 평가하였고, 중재 이후 프로그램 만족도를 조사하였다. 측정 결과는 윌콕슨 순위 검정(Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test)을 사용하여 인지기능과 균형능력의 중재 전후로 차이를 비교하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 다감각 자극훈련 중재 이후 대상자들은 인지기능과 균형능력에서 유의한 향상을 보였다(p<.05). 또한 중재 이후 대상자 모두 프로그램에 대한 긍정적인 만족도를 보였다. 결론 : 지역사회 노인을 대상으로 한 다감각 자극훈련은 노인의 인지기능과 균형능력의 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 중재 이후 만족도에도 긍정적인 결과를 보였다. 다감각 자극훈련은 고령화 시대에 노인들에게 만족감을 줄 수 있는 그룹치료활동으로 효과적인 사용을 위한 추가적인 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
