본 연구의 목적은 여성 노인의 정신 건강을 위한 프로그램을 구성하고 그 효과성을 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 연구자들은 경작 프로그램을 계획하여 여성 노인 14명을 대상으로 프로그램을 진행하고, 그 효과성을 양·질적 분석하였다. 양적 분석에서는 비모수 통계 방법을, 질적 분석에서는 면담 내용을 모두 전사하여 내용 분석하였다. 그 결과 텃밭 경작 프로그램에 참여한 여성노인들의 정신건강이 긍정적으로 변화되었음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 면담을 통한 질적분석에서, 텃밭 경작은 참여자들에게 무료함에서의 탈출구가 되었고, 다른 사람들과 어우러질 수 있는 동기가 되고 있었다. 또한, 자신의 노력을 통해 얻은 수확물은 참여자들에게 성취감과 베풂의 기쁨을 주어 여성 노인들의 정신 건강에 긍정적 변화를 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
