Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of gardening programs using therapeutic gardens on the fall efficacy of the elderly. This study was applied to 31 elderly facility users from April to August 2019 at a nursing home P located in Gyeonggi-do. Among the 31 participants who participated in the program, 16 subjects in the experimental group and 15 subjects in the control group were randomly selected. As for the experimental group program, a fall program consisting of fall education and strength training four times a week and a horticultural occupational program were implemented once a week in a healing garden for a total of 15 weeks. The control group performed fall program for 30 minutes 5 times a week for a total of 15 weeks. The fall efficacy of the tested group increased by 5.50 points from 29points before the program to 34.50points after the program, and statistically significant results were obtained (p=0.000). The control group who only progressed the fall program increased 3.63 points from 28.87points before the trial to 32.50points after the trial, and statistically significant results were obtained (p=0.000). From this result, it can be confirmed that the horticultural program using the treatment garden has the potential as a program related to falls. In the future, various studies are needed so that gardening programs using gardens can be applied to prevent falls of the elderly.

본 연구의 목적은 치료 정원을 이용한 원예작업치료가 노인의 낙상에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구는 경기도 소재 P 요양원에서 2019년 4월부터 8월까지는 노인 시설 이용자 31명에게 적용됐다. 프로그램에 참여한 31명 중 무작위로 실험군 16명과 대조군 15명으로 선정하였다. 실험군 프로그램은 매주 4회는 낙상교육과 근력운동으로 구성된 낙상 프로그램과 매주 1회는 치유정원에서 원예작업프로그램을 총 15주 동안 시행하였고, 대조군은 매주 5회 30분씩 낙상교육을 총 15주 동안시행하였다. 실험군의 낙상 효능감은 프로그램 시행 전 평균이 29점에서 실시 후 평균이 34.50점으로 5.50점 증가 하였고, 통계적으로도 유의한 결과가 나왔다(p=0.000). 낙상프로그램만 진행한 대조군은 시행 전 평균 28.87점에서 실시 후 평균 32.50점으로 3.63이 증가 하였고, 통계적으로도 유의한 결과가 나왔다(p=0.000). 이 결과를 통해 치료정원을 활용한 원예프로그램은 낙상과 관련된 프로그램으로 가능성이 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 앞으로 정원을 활용한 원예작업프로그램이 노인의 낙상 예방에 적용될 수 있도록 다양한 연구가 필요하다.
