Objectives : Using MMSE and MoCA cognitive tools, this study tried to measure the effect of acupuncture differing by cognitive types. Through the method of PRISMA literature review, this study aimed to understand and improve the acupuncture's effectiveness in its application. Methods : The research method was a literature review and Cochrane meta-analysis of papers on the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments for mild cognitive impairment conducted from 2012 to 2023. The Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool was used as a quality analysis tool, and the meta-analysis tool was Cochrane RevMan V5.4.1 software. Results : As a result of the study, a total of 967 subjects were used for analysis, and 16 papers on randomized acupuncture trials were analyzed. The results are as follows: As a result of meta-analysis of acupuncture intervention for mild cognitive impairment, the MMSE score had an average of 1.61 with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.14 to 3.07, and a statistically significant result with p<0.001. The Z-score was 2.15, which corresponded to a p-value of 0.03. The MoCA score had an average range between 0.39 and 2.49, also showing statistical significance with p<0.001, and a Z-score of 2.70 (p=0.007). The effect of acupuncture in subjects with mild cognitive impairment was significant. Conclusion : The suggestions and conclusion indicate that acupuncture intervention has a significant effect on mild cognitive impairment. This study propose future experimental research on various types of acupuncture interventions for mild cognitive impairment. The significance of this study is that it presented basic data for the development of a preventive convergence cognitive intervention program for patients with mild cognitive impairment in the community.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to look at a systematic review on the effects of occupational reminiscence therapy in Dementia offered National Long term care Insurance. Through this comprehensive study, we have to compare the studies. Methods : We systematically examined papers published in journal from 2009 to 2013, using KERIS. Main words to examine are Dementia, Long term care service, Day care center, reminiscence therapy, occupational centered, etc. Results : 6 studies were selected, All of them were occupational reminiscence therapy. Reminiscence therapy can be devided into communication centered reminiscence therapy and occupational reminiscence therapy. The results demonstrated that the intervention significantly affected the maintenance cognitive skills and reminiscence skills, decreased depression, behavioral changes, improvement of communication and interaction skills and quality of life etc. of elderly people with dementia (p<.05). Conclusions : If occupational therapists can obtain knowledge and make a program for occupational reminiscence therapy, research in this field will be further developed. In the future study, the use of occupational reminiscence therapy applied to a variety of interventions and majority of patients is needed on occupational therapy.

Objective : The aim of this study is to verify the effects of group sensory integrative intervention for sensory motor ability, behaviors in children with developmental delay. Method : The subjects were five children with developmental delays aged between 3 and 5. All Children participated in 26 sessions of group sensory integrative intervention. Children' behavior during testing was observed to assess the sensory motor ability, behaviors, the clinical observation. One group pretest- posttest design was used to verify the effect of group sensory integrative intervention. The observed children' behavior during testing were tested by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : There is no significant difference in the clinical observation between pre and post intervention. However, subjects showed the significant difference in Social interaction(Z=-2.121, p=.034), Attention(Z=-2.032, p=.042), total score in Behavior during testing(Z=-2.032, p=.042). Conclusions : The result in this study suggested that the sensory integrative intervention is effective in facilitating the social skills and improving the attention and behaviors. On the other hand, there is no effect in sensory motor ability. It is difficult to generalize the conclusion because the number of the subject was limited and the environmental confounding factors has not been controlled. Therefore, it is needed to supplement these limitations in the future study.

Objective: To establish proper diagnosis and treatment plan for skeletal Class II malocclusions, some important factors to consider are the patient's skeletal morphology, prognosis as well as the treatment effects. Therefore, the present study analyzed the effects of activator treatment on different skeletal patterns in growing Class II malocclusion patients. Methods: A total of 116 patients (53 boys & 63 girls) in the experimental group were treated with the activator appliance. The experimental group was classified into either hyperdivergent or hypodivergent groups according to articular and genial angles. Results: Patients with hypodivergent growth patterns showed good effects of activator treatment. Conclusion: It seems conceivable that through classifying adolescent Class II malocclusion patients into different skeletal patterns, activator treatment effects may be predicted during the diagnosis and treatment planning stage.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether impact of event and health beliefs affect adherence to self-care guidelines in the general public. The participants were 331 adults living in the Daegu/Gyeongbuk region. Data were collected using an online survey. The collected data were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and Process Procedure (Model 4). The results reported impact of event had a significant direct effect on health beliefs, and health beliefs had a significant direct effect on adherence to self-care guidelines. Also, the mediating effect of health beliefs on the relationship between impact of event and adherence to self-care guidelines was significant. To facilitate health education among the general public, it is necessary to include educational content to establish health beliefs regarding novel diseases such as COVID-19.
