Abstract

Based on the theory of cognitive reserve, we undertook this study to develop a cognitive function training program for woman in menopausal transition with complaints of declining in cognitive function. The program was established by applying the analysis, design, and development stages of the network-based instructional system designed by Jung. The cognitive function training program developed by us is an was an 8-week program composed of cognitive and video training using a mobile application. The program consists of 24 sessions, each with 20-30 minutes of duration, to be completed 3 sessions per week. The contents of the cognitive function training comprise of memory, attention, language function, and scenario-based problem-solving for executive functions, all of which are cognitive areas found to be the most vulnerable for menopausal women. The educational contents were developed for eight subject areas, one subject area per week, including the definition of menopause, its causes and symptoms, menopause and brain function, etc. During the pilot test, the cognitive function training program was applied to 10 menopausal women who complained of cognitive function decline. The results indicated that, after eight weeks of training, the overall cognitive function of participants increased, revealing statistically significant differences (t=-3.04, p=.014) after the program was completed. The mobile app-based cognitive function training program might not only improve patients' memory functions but also potentially reduce the incidence of dementia.

본 연구는 인지예비능 이론에 입각하여 인지기능감퇴를 호소하는 갱년기 여성들을 위해 인지기능훈련 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. Jung의 웹기반 교수-학습 체제 설계의 절차적 모형에 근거하여 분석, 설계 및 개발 단계를 거쳐 개발하였다. 인지기능훈련 프로그램은 8주간의 프로그램으로 모바일 애플리케이션을 활용한 인지훈련과 동영상 교육이며 총 24회기로 매 회기는 20~30분이 소요되며 3회/주 하도록 구성되었다. 인지기능훈련은 갱년기 여성들에 있어서 가장 취약한 인지영역으로 확인된 기억력, 주의집중력, 언어기능과 통합적 집행기능을 위한 시나리오기반 문제해결 등으로 내용을 구성하였다. 각 주차별 교육내용은 갱년기의 정의, 원인 및 증상, 갱년기와 뇌기능 등 총 8가지 주제로 개발되었다. 프로그램 시범운영을 위해 인지기능감퇴를 호소하는 10명의 갱년기 여성을 대상으로 인지기능훈련 프로그램을 적용하여 훈련 전과 훈련 8주후 인지기능의 효과를 측정한 결과 전반적 인지기능이 증가되었고 통계적으로 유의하였다(t=-3.04, p=.014). 모바일 앱 기반 인지기능훈련 프로그램은 기억력 향상뿐만 아니라 잠재적 치매 유병율을 감소시키는 효과도 기대할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
