Abstract

This study was undertaken to recommend a dementia education program for college students, and to understand the outcome on knowledge and attitude towards dementia, awareness of aged support, and cognitive-affective empathy. Totally, 40 college students in C city, K do, were enrolled for the study, and divided into two groups of 20 each: experimental group and control group. The experimental group subjects were provided a 12-hour dementia education program; effectiveness of this program has been verified in later studies. Data were collected from November 5, 2018 to December 7, 2018; collection was before, after, and 4 weeks after the program was provided to the experimental group. Control group data were also collected in the same time frame. Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS WIN/21.0, and the percentage, mean and standard deviation were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilks test, $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact probability test, Independent t-test, Friedman test, Mann-Whitney U and Repeated Measure ANOVA. Knowledge of dementia (F=19.80, p<0.001), attitude toward dementia (z=-4.10, p<0.001), and awareness of aged support (F=6.26, p=0.017) had a significant interaction between group and time; however, cognitive-affective empathy showed no correlation (F=1.32, p<0.256). We therefore suggest strengthening the contents of future education program for dementia, developing a customized program for cognitive-affective empathy by considering subject characteristics, and further research verifying the effectiveness of the program.

본 연구는 대학생을 대상으로 치매교육 프로그램을 제공하고, 치매에 대한 지식, 치매에 대한 태도, 노인부양의식, 인지-정서적 공감에 미치는 효과를 파악하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 K도 C시의 대학생 실험군 20명, 대조군 20명이었으며, 12시간의 치매교육프로그램을 제공하고 그 효과를 검증하였다. 자료수집은 2018년 11월 5일부터 12월 7일까지 이었고, 자료조사는 실험군에게 프로그램 제공 전, 제공 후, 프로그램 종료 4주후에 시행하였으며, 대조군 역시 같은 시기에 조사하였다. 자료분석은 IBM SPSS WIN/21.0을 이용하여 실수와 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, Shapiro-Wilks 검증, $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact probability test와 Independent t-test, Friedman test, Mann-Whitney U, Repeated Measure ANOVA를 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 치매에 대한 지식(F=19.80, p<.001), 치매에 대한 태도(z=-4.10, p<.001), 부양의식(F=6.26, p=.017)은 집단과 시점 간에 유의한 교호작용이 있었으나, 인지-정서적 공감은 집단과 시점 간의 교호작용이 유의하지 않았다(F=1.32, p<.256). 추후 치매 관련 교육프로그램 구성 시 해당 내용을 강화하고, 인지-정서 공감을 함양할 수 있도록 대상자의 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 프로그램 개발과 효과를 검증하는 추후연구가 필요하다.
