Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a group occupational therapy program on the depression and quality of life of the elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI). Method : The elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment were selected based on the Mini Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening(MMSE-DS). The group occupatinal therapy program consisted of various cognitive domains and was performed 12 times for 6 weeks. The Geriatric Depression Scale(SGDS-K) and Quality of Life(QOL) were used to assess depression and quality of life of the subjects before and after the intervention. Result : The elderly with MCI improved significantly on the SGDS-K and QOL after the intervention program(p<0.05). Particularly, in some items of the QOL, there was a statistically significant difference, but the results of the SGDS-K and QOL did not show any correlation(p>0.05). Conclusion : In the case of the elderly with MCI, the QOL scale and the depressive symptom test were statistically significant when the group occupational therapy program was applied for 6 weeks.

목적 본 연구의 목적은 집단작업치료 프로그램이 경도인지장애(MCI)를 가진 노인의 우울증과 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 경도인지장애 노인은 간이정신상태검사(Mini Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening, MMSEDS)를 기준으로 선정하였다. 대상자들의 집단작업치료 프로그램은 다양한 인지 영역으로 구성되어 6주 동안 12회 수행되었다. 노인우울증 척도 (SGDS-K)와 삶의 질 (QOL)을 사용하여 중재 전 후의 대상자의 우울증과 삶의 질을 평가하였다. 연구결과 경도인지장애(MCI) 노인은 집단 작업치료 중재 프로그램 후 노인우울증 척도 (SGDS-K)와 삶의 질(QOL)에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 향상되었다(p<0.05). 특히 삶의 질 평가 (QOL)중 일부 항목은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었지만, SGDS-K와 QOL의 결과는 상관관계를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 결론 경도인지장애(MCI)를 가진 노인의 경우, 집단작업치료 프로그램을 6주 동안 시행했을 때 삶의 질(QOL)과 우울 증상은 중재 전 후비교에서 통계적으로 유의한 변화를 보였다.
