초록

본 연구는 미국에 거주하고 있는 한인 노인을 대상으로 현재 뉴욕 시에서 시행하고 있는 데이케어 프로그램(Adult Day Care Program)의 일환인 치료 레크리에이션의 신체적, 정신적 효과를 평가하고자 시행되었다. 연구 방법은 비동등성 대조군 사후 실험 연구로 2017년 2월부터 4월까지 진행되었다. 본 연구에 참여한 대상자는 실험군 35명, 대조군 35명이었으며 이 중 66명의 자료를 분석하였다. 본 연구에 참여한 대상자의 평균연령은 79.4세 이었으며 미국에 거주한 기간은 평균 24.6년 이었다. 치료 레크리에이션 프로그램은 데이케어센터에서 제공하는 프로그램으로서 본 연구결과, 데이케어센터 치료 레크리에이션에 참여한 노인의 일상생활 수행능력, 우울 및 외로움에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 문화적 감수성을 고려한 노인 대상 다양한 치료 레크리에이션 프로그램이 개발, 운영되어져야 할 것이며 이에 대한 효과를 평가하기 위하여 근거기반 연구가 수행되어져야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of recreational therapy as part of Social Adult Day Care Program administered in the state of New York for the Korean American elderly living in the United States. The study was conducted in a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design from February to April, 2017. The participants included 35 subjects in the experimental group and 35 subjects in the control group; among the sample, 66 participants' data were analyzed. The average age of subjects who participated in this study was 79.4 years, and the average duration of residence in the United States was 24.6 years. Based on the study results, the recreational therapy program provided by the day care center was found to have a positive effect on the participant's daily life performances, depression and loneliness. Therefore, a variety of cultural sensitive recreational therapy program for the elderly population should be developed and operated in the future; furthermore, evidence-based research should be conducted to evaluate the effects of these programs.
