All subjects were using dementia day care center. The mean age was $79.95{\pm}5.90$ for quantitative study and $80.07{\pm}5.78$ for qualitative study subjects. The mean scores of service satisfaction were ranged from $2.86{\pm}0.41$ to $2.96{\pm}0.30$. The lowest score domain was 'help and assistance', and the highest score domain was 'food and environment'. In 14 questions, satisfaction score was 3 point. According to content analysis, the experiences of dementia day care center were described with 20 themes such as 'mutual respect and understanding', 'pleasure and upset feelings about participation', etc. and 35 sub-themes.

As South Korea has become an aged society, the dementia rate has also been increasing. With the introduction of both de-institutionalization and community care in 2017, the importance of community-based care has increased. Perspectives on dementia have also been shifting from the medical model and social model to the person-centered model. This paper suggests ways to improve dementia service through analyzing the dementia knowledge of care-givers at ADS. The paper includes an FGI with the care-givers who have worked for more than 2 years. Based on such FGI, the paper draws sub-themes from 7 areas. Among the suggestions for improvement are: community-based service with daily routine practice, improving awareness of dementia for co-living, and person-centered service based on individuality and diverseness.

최근 노인관련 요양 문제는 이미 사회적 이슈로 떠오르면서 각 가정에서의 돌봄이 곤란한 어르신들이 요양원, 재가복지센터, 주간보호센터, 노인전문병원 등에서 요양보호사의 도움이 절대적으로 필요한 일상이 되었다. 무엇보다도 장기요양서비스를 이용하는 어르신 대부분은 노인성 질환 또는 치매를 앓고 있다. 이는 각 가정에서의 돌봄이 어려운 어르신들에게 직접서비스를 제공 하는 종사자인 요양보호사들은 다양한 치매어르신들의 문제행동을 안고 현장에서의 돌봄을 제공한다. 따라서, 요양보호사의 직무 관련 스트레스에 미치는 영향력 파악과 이와 더불어 직무스트레스가 치매어르신의 문제행동과 종사자의 소진 간의 매개 효과가 있는 지 규명하는 연구들이 활발하게 이루어 짐으로 이를 규명한 내용을 토대로 대안 마련을 위한 유익한 제언들이 필요하다.

Objective : This study identified the effect of tailored occupational intervention applied to the elderly with mild dementia using the day care center. Methods : This study applied the single-group experimental design to 29 elderly with mild dementia who use the day care center in B area, and conducted a total of 10 sessions once a week, 60 minutes. Intervention consisted largely of group activities and individual activities, and individual activities were conducted one-on-one with various activities necessary to select occupational goals and achieve the goals through consultation between the elderly with mild dementia and the person in charge. The effects of tailored occupational intervention were confirmed through CERAD, BBS, and GDS. Results : Significant differences were shown in the total score of MMSE-KC, time orientation, attention, constructional praxis delayed recall, and trail making test B in the cognitive function changes, and standing to sitting, standing unsupported with eyes closed of BBS in the physical function changes, and in the GDS score in the depression changes (p<.05). Conclusion : Tailored occupational intervention has been shown to be effective in improving cognitive and physical functions of the elderly with mild dementia and reducing depression. This provided a basis for proposing a tailored occupational intervention as an intervention that can be applied to the elderly with mild dementia.
