Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive level of mild cognitive impaired elderly living in the community on participation in activities and social networks as well as leisure and daily life activities. Methods : The elderly people aged 65 years or older living in the community were selected for the mild cognitive impairment with a score of MMSE-K of 15 or more and 23 or less. MoCA-K was applied in order to examine the cognitive abilities of the subjects and K-ACS and LSNS-18 were applied to confirm the activity participation level and social network index. Results : As a result of examining the relationship between cognition and activity participation, various sub-abilities(spatio-temporal abilities, vocabulary abilities, attention, abstract thinking) of cognition had a significant influence on instrumental activities of daily living, leisure activities and social activities. In addition, all of the sub - abilities of cognition showed a significant correlation with sub-elements of social network. Conclusion : Through this study, it was found that the general elements of cognition influenced activity participation and social network of various areas of mild cognitive impaired elderly people. We suggest that measures for enhancing participation and social participation of the elderly with mild cognitive impairment are provided through follow up studies.

목적 : 지역사회에 거주하는 경도인지장애 노인들의 인지수준이 여가나 일상생활활동 뿐만 아니라 활동에 대한 참여와 사회적 관계망에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 지역사회에 거주중인 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로, MMSE-K의 점수가 15점 이상 23점 이하인 경도인지장애노인들을 대상으로 선별하였다. 대상자들의 영역별 인지능력을 알아보기 위하여 MoCA-K를, 활동참여 수준 및 사회관계망 지수를 확인하기 위하여 K-ACS와 LSNS-18을 각각 적용하였다. 결과 : 인지와 활동 참여의 관계를 살펴본 결과 인지의 다양한 하위 능력(시공간능력, 어휘능력, 주의력, 추상력, 지남력)이 수단적 일상생활, 여가활동, 사회활동에 유의한 영향을 주고 있었다. 또한 인지의 모든 하위 능력이 사회적 관계망의 하위 요소들과 유의한 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통하여 인지의 전반적 요소들이 경도인지장애 노인들의 다양한 영역의 활동참여 및 사회적 관계망에 영향을 주고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 후속 연구들을 통하여 경도인지장애 노인들의 활동 참여와 사회적 참여를 높이는 방안들이 마련되기를 제언하는 바이다.
