Abstract

This study was performed to investigate the effects of Occupation based Reminiscence therapy on cognitive function, depression, and quality of life in elderly patients with mild dementia. Thirty-one elderly patients with mild dementia underwent Occupation based Reminiscence therapy for 40 minutes per session, once weekly, for 8 weeks. Montreal Cognitive Assessment Korean Version (MoCA-K), Short Form of Geriatric Depression Scale-Korean Version (SGDS-K), and Geriatric Quality of Life-Dementia (GQOL-D) were used to measure cognitive function, depression level, and quality of life, respectively. Mean MoCA-K score increased from $14.62{\pm}5.07$ before intervention to $16.88{\pm}4.55$ after intervention; mean SGDS-K score decreased from $7.28{\pm}4.28$ to $6.10{\pm}4.09$, and mean GQOL-D score increased from $26.05{\pm}5.45$ to $28.55{\pm}5.74$. Furthermore, these positive changes were all statistically significant. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded Occupation based Reminiscence therapy may positively affect cognitive function, depression, and quality of life in elderly patients with mild dementia.

본 연구는 작업 중심 회상치료가 경도 치매 노인 환자의 인지기능과 우울 그리고 그들의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 경도 치매 노인 환자 31명을 대상으로, 총 8주 동안 주 1회, 각 회기 당 40분의 작업 중심 회상치료를 실시하였다. 평가도구는 대상자의 인지기능 평가를 위해서 한국형 몬트리올 인지평가(Montreal Cognitive Assessment Korean Version:MoCA-K), 우울정도 측정을 위해 단축형 한국판 노인우울척도검사(Short Form of Geriatric Depression Scale-Korean Version:SGDS-K), 그리고 대상자들의 삶의 질 측정을 위해 치매노인 대상 삶의 질 척도(Geriatric Quality of Life-Dementia:GQOL-D)를 사용하였다. 연구결과 작업 중심 회상치료 실시 전에 비하여 경도 치매 노인 환자의 MoCA-K 점수는 중재 전 $14.62{\pm}5.07$에서 중재 후 $16.88{\pm}4.55$로, SGDS-K 점수는 중재 전 $7.28{\pm}4.28$에서 중재 후 $6.10{\pm}4.09$로, 마지막으로 GQOL-D 점수는 중재 전 $26.05{\pm}5.45$에서 중재 후 $28.55{\pm}5.74$로 변화하여 측정된 모든 항목에서 통계적으로 유의미한 긍정적 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 작업 중심 회상훈련이 경도 치매 노인 환자들의 인지기능, 우울 그리고 삶의 질에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
