본 연구는 한국과 일본의 노인입소시설 케어워커를 대상으로 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식이 치매에 대한 태도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였으며 나아가 치매에 대한 태도를 결정하는 요인에 있어 한일 간에 차이가 있는지 비교 분석 하였다. 조사는 한국의 케어워커 320명, 일본의 케어워커 350명을 대상으로 하였으며 설문지를 활용한 우편조사방법으로 이루어졌다. 자료 분석에는 t-test, 다중회귀분석을 활용하였으며 이에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 한일 간에 노인에 대한 태도 및 치매지식, 치매에 대한 태도를 비교한 결과 치매지식에서는 유의미한 차이가 없었으나 치매에 대한 태도와 노인에 대한 태도는 한국에 비해 일본의 케어워커가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 치매에 대한 태도에 상대적으로 영향력이 큰 변인을 살펴보면 한국은 치매지식(β=.305 p<0.001), 일본은 노인에 대한 태도(β=.348 p<0.001)라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 태도와 치매지식은 한일 양국에서 공통적으로 치매에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 나타났다.

This study is a cross-sectional survey study aimed at collecting basic data for the development of a program to cultivate a positive attitude toward dementia among people caring for dementia patients. For this study, data were collected from March 1 to March 7, 2022 as a structured questionnaire, and 232 study participants were in their 20s to 60s. The collected data were derived from chi-square test, t-test, and simple regression analysis using the spss 18.0 program. As a result of the analysis, women had higher treatment knowledge for dementia than men, men had higher attitudes toward dementia than women (p<0.01), and people living with dementia patients had higher attitudes than those who gave birth (p<0.01). Attitudes toward dementia were more positive in the family than those with dementia patients (p<0.01). Dementia-related knowledge consists of disease knowledge, treatment knowledge, and nursing knowledge, of which only positive dementia attitude affects dementia treatment knowledge (t=5.29, p<0.01). Based on these results, it is suggested that the provision of accurate knowledge about dementia treatment should be planned first as a nursing program for dementia patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate compassion competence and its mediating effects on the relationship between attitudes toward dementia and care behavior among caregivers of older adults with dementia in nursing homes. Methods: 211 participants were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Data were collected from February 1st to May 24th, 2023, through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis and the bootstrapping method. Results: The mean score for care behavior was 3.67±0.97 (range 1~5). Caring behaviors were significantly associated with attitudes toward dementia (r=.76, p<.001) and compassion competence (r=.75, p<.001). Using Baron and Kenny's approach and PROCESS Macro model 4, care behavior was directly affected by dementia attitude (β=.76, p<.001). Compassion competence (β=.66, p<.001) was directly affected by dementia attitude. The partial mediating effects of compassion competence (β=.47, p<.001, 95% confidence interval 0.10~0.23) on the impact of dementia attitude on care behavior was confirmed. Conclusion: The results suggest that compassion competence should be considered when developing nursing interventions to enhance dementia-related attitudes and improve care behavior among caregivers of older adults with dementia.

본 연구는 치매의 고위험군인 후기노인을 대상으로 치매인식도, 치매태도 및 신체활동을 조사하고, 치매인식도와 치매태도가 신체활동에 미치는 영향을 파악하여, 후기노인을 위한 맞춤형 복합 신체활동증진프로그램의 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 K군에 소재하는 9개 노인복지시설을 방문하는 75세 이상 노인을 대상으로 2016년 06월 01일부터 06월 30일까지 일대일 면담을 통한 설문지 작성으로 총 218명의 자료수집을 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0 프로그램을 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, hierarchical regression을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 연구대상자의 치매인식도, 치매태도 및 신체활동은 모두 낮은 수준이었고, 치매인식도와 치매태도(r=.380, p<.001) 및 신체활동(r=.211, p=.002), 치매태도와 신체활동(r=.405, p<.001) 간은 모두 유의한 정적 상관관계가 있었다. 후기노인의 신체활동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 치매태도(${\beta}=.271$, p<.001)였고, 이외 성별(${\beta}=.207$, p=.003)과 교육수준(${\beta}=.184$, p=.023)이 유의한 영향을 미쳤으며, 이들 변수의 설명력은 28.8%이었다. 결론적으로 노인을 위한 맞춤형 복합 신체활동프로그램 개발시 특히 저학력 여성 후기노인에 초점을 둔 치매인식도 및 치매태도의 제고방안이 포함되어야 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 치매지원센터 간호사의 치매지식, 치매노인에 대한 태도, 간호부담감과의 관계를 분석하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로 연구대상자는 서울시 25개 자치구의 치매지원센터에 근무하는 간호사 101명을 대상으로 하였으며, 구조화된 설문지로 자가설문조사를 수행하였다. 연구결과 치매지식은 20점 만점에서 평균 $18.14{\pm}1.09$점, 치매노인에 대한 태도는 266점 만점에 평균 $153.07{\pm}.76$점, 간호부담감은 64점 만점에 평균 $28.01{\pm}7.09$점이었다. 또한 치매지원센터 간호사의 치매지식이 높을수록 간호부담감이 낮았으며(r=-.32, p<.001), 치매노인에 대한 태도가 부정적일수록 간호부담감이 높았다(r=.25, p<.05). 추후 치매지원센터 간호사의 간호부담감을 줄이기 위해서는 치매지식을 높이고, 치매노인에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 바꿀 수 있는 지속적인 교육과 정책적 지원이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was a descriptive study to identify the factors affecting the dementia prevention behavior of elders in rural communities. Methods: The participants in this study were 125 elders aged 60 or older who lived in Eup or Myeon areas of P city. For data analysis, SPSS/WIN 22.0 was used to perform descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear multiple regression and mediated effects. Results: Scores for dementia recognition, dementia attitude and dementia prevention behavior averaged 5.6±2.50 points in the 0~11 range, 38.8±4.59 in 14~56 and 20.2±3.59 in 10~30 respectively. Dementia recognition (a), dementia attitude (b), dementia prevention behavior (c) and the number of chronic diseases of the elders (d) were positively or negatively correlated with each other (rab=.29, p<.01; rbc=.26, p<.01; rac=.36, p<.01; rad=-.29, p<.01; rcd=.19, p<.05). Factors affecting dementia prevention behavior were dementia recognition, dementia attitude, and degree of dementia interest. When the number of chronic diseases affects dementia prevention behavior, dementia recognition has a mediating effect. Conclusion: In order to prevent dementia among elders in rural areas, appropriate management of chronic diseases and provision of appropriate dementia-related education and information to enhance dementia recognition should be provided.

Purpose: Korea is one of the most rapidly aging countries, accompanied by an increasing number of older adults with dementia. Certified-care-assistants are the primary care workers for these older adults. This cross-sectional descriptive study compared the factors influencing care behaviors among Korean and non-Korean certified-care-assistants in Korea. Methods: Participants, 113 Korean certified-care-assistants and 71 non-Korean certified-care-assistants, completed a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to assess dementia knowledge, attitude and care behaviors toward older adults with dementia. To determine the differences in these two groups, t-test was used. A stepwise multiple regression was performed to identify factors related to care behavior. Results: Significant differences in dementia knowledge, attitude and care behavior toward older adults with dementia emerged between Korean and non-Korean certified-care-assistants. Factors influencing care behavior varied by group. Dementia knowledge and education level were the significant factors of care behaviors in Korean certified-care-assistants, whereas attitude toward older adults with dementia was the significant factor in non-Korean certified-care-assistants. Conclusion: Findings indicate that different factors influence the care behavior of two groups. These findings can be utilized to develop certified-care-assistants' training curriculum that needs to be tailored by nationality to improve the quality of care for older adults with dementia.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that have impact on taking care of dementia elderly people by careworkers. 212 careworkers participated in the survey. The data was analyzed by SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The mean score of knowledge of dementia was 16.19, and attitude was 34.42, and the level of care performance for elders with dementia was 102.18. It was shown that the more positive attitude the careworkers had, the higher level of care performance occurred(r=.41, p<.001). As a result of analyzing the main factors affecting the level of care performance for dementia elderly people, attitude toward dementia(${\beta}$=.41, p<.001) and the level of education(${\beta}$=.27, p<.001) appeared to be significant explanatory variables, and this model's explanatory power was 27%. To settle a long-term care insurance successfully, the qualifications for careworkers are needed to be reinforced, and the ways to improve a positive attitude towards dementia elderly are also required to be come up with.
