Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to identify and understand the internal and external control of the caregivers of elderly with severe dementia and the effects of care stress on depression, and to provide basic data of occupational therapy intervention. Methods : The internal and external control, care stress, and depression were examined in questionnaires for the caregivers of elderly who were diagnosed with moderate or higher degree of dementia through CDR by medical institutions. Internal and external control and depression by care stress was analyzed by using independent samples t-test and ANOVA, and the effects of internal and external control and care stress on depression were analyzed by performing multiple regression analysis. Results : The results were as follow; The first, there was a significant degree of depression according to difference of internal and external control. The second, there was a significant degree of classification in the care stress. The third, the effects of internal controls and care stress on depression were shown to be statistically significant. Conclusion : Based on the analyzed results, the caregivers of elderly with severe dementia needs to seek the role of a occupational therapist who can enhance internal control and lower care stress in intervention of occupational therapy because internal control and care stress can affect depression.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 중증치매노인보호자의 내·외적 통제성과 돌봄스트레스가 우울에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 요인을 파악하여 작업치료 중재의 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 연구방법 : 의료기관에서 CDR을 통한 중등도이상의 치매판정을 받은 노인의 보호자를 대상으로 내·외통제성, 돌봄스트레스, 우울정도를 설문지를 통하여 검사하였다. 내·외통제성, 돌봄스트레스에 의한 우울정도는 독립표본 t-test와 ANOVA를 사용하였고 내·외 통제성과 돌봄스트레스가 우울에 미치는 영향은 다중회귀분석(Multiple regression analysis)을 실시하여 분석하였다 결과 : 본 연구의 결과는 첫째, 내·외 통제성 구분에 따른 우울정도의 차이는 유의하였다. 둘째, 돌봄스트레스의 항목에 따른 차이는 유의하였다. 셋째, 내적 통제성, 돌봄스트레스가 우울정도에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다 결론 : 분석된 결과를 근거로 중증치매노인의 보호자는 내적통제성과 돌봄스트레스가 우울감에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 작업치료 중재에서 보호자의 내적통제성을 높이고 돌봄스트레스를 낮추어 줄 수 있는 작업치료사의 역할모색이 필요하다.
