노인인구가 증가하면서 노인 건강관리를 비롯한 여러가지 복지대책이 중요한 사회적 관심사로 대두되고 있다. 그중에서도 치매노인의 관리 문제는 노인 복지 측면에서, 반드시 해결해야 할 최대의 과제로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 외국에 비해 양로원 시설도 충분히 갖추어지지 못한 우리의 실정에서 이 치매노인을 위한 복지는 사실상 전무한 상태다. 이러한 가운데서 지난 1월 우리나라 최초로 서울시 북부노인종합복지관(서울시 노원구 하계동 중계 9단지 내)에서 치매탁로소를 열어, 치매노인이 있는 가정에 새로운 희망을 던져주고 있다. 서울시 거주 치매노인이면 누구나 이용할 수 있는 치매탁로소의 개소 의의와 이용방법을 소개한다.

본 연구의 목적은 경상북도 경산지역에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인들의 치매실태를 알아보고 치매노인들의 인구학적 특성 및 생활 습관적 특성을 알아보는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 모집단의 약 6%에 해당하는 1,120 명을 표본으로 추출하여 한국형 간이정신상태 검사를 포함한 면담표를 이용하여 2003년 8월 1일부터 2003년 9월 2l일까지 수행되었다. 면담에 응하지 않거나 분석 자료로 활용할 수 없는 160 사례를 제외한 960 사례가 최종분석에 이용되었다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 내용은 다음과 같다. 한국형 간이정신상태 검사에 따르면 응답자들의 10.6%가 치매에 이환된 것으로 나타났으며 그들 가운데 54.9%는 경증, 31.4%는 중등증, 13.7%는 중증이었다. 치매노인들의 인구학적 및 생활 습관적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 교차분석을 도입하였으며 치매에 영향을 미치는 인구학적 및 생활 습관적 특성들을 경험적으로 규명하기 위하여 로지스틱회귀분석을 사용하였다. 로지스틱회귀분석 결과 정신노동에 관련된 직업에 종사했던, 규칙적인 운동을 하는 응답자, 규칙적 식사를 하는 사람과 적당량의 음식을 섭취하는 응답자들이 치매이환의 대수승산을 감소시키는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 반면 나이가 높을수록 노인들의 치매이환의 대수승산을 증가시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 끝으로 노인들의 치매이환을 감소시키기 위한 여러 가지 정책적 대안들을 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine different patterns of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and caregiver burden according to dementia type. Data were collected from June 2014 to December 2014 from five nursing homes. In all, 214 patients [131 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 83 patients with Vascular dementia (VD)] were included in the study. BPSD and caregiver burden data were examined using NPI-NH (Neuropsychiatric Inventory Nursing Home Version). According to the results, both the AD and VD group showed the highest frequency in apathy/indifference and the frequency of anxiety, elation/euphoria, and irritability/lability was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group. The difference in total BPSD composite scores between the AD and VD groups was not significant but agitation/aggression was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group. The mean score for caregiver burden was significantly higher in the AD group than in the VD group, particularly in agitation/aggression. In conclusion, BPSD differed according to dementia type, and nurses should provide specific interventions to control BPSD; a program to reduce caregiver burden according to dementia type is also needed.

The purpose of this study is to identify the tendency of media reports on the dementia management policy in Korea and to suggest policy implications such as prevention of dementia, improvement of awareness, and management of dementia through network analysis. We analyzed the linkage structure between the main texts centered on the number of citations of the main language related to the dementia management policy and the centrality and mediation as the research procedures and methods. As a result of the analysis, first, a 'micro' perspective is needed to explain practically. Second, it is desirable to understand the dementia management policy in the context of community. Third, the network structure of key words such as 'dementia management policy' suggests the possibility of research study in academic research in future research. Therefore, the phenomenon of dementia management policy will contribute to the direction of future dementia management policy, not local or temporary.
