Purpose : This study was conducted to provide basic data for the association's policy management and to improve the activity areas by investigating Gyeonggi-do physical therapists' recognition of the national responsibility for dementia. Methods : A total of 1,839 physical therapists participated in this survey, and the data from a total of 29 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 windows. Results : Among the physical therapists in Gyeonggi-do, 61.1 % had low awareness of the national responsibility for dementia, and the recognition of the center for dementia was also low. On the other hand, there was a remarkably high opinion that the physical therapist was a necessary workforce, and positive responses to dementia-related work and education participation were also high, 51.9 % and 68.5 %, respectively. Those with a high educational background, annual salary, clinical experience, or dementia-related institutions, such as nursing homes and physical therapy, had a high awareness of "dementia national responsibility", awareness of "center for dementia" and "participation in dementia-related work and education". On the other hand, "work participation" and "education participation" were found to be inversely related to age and clinical experience. Conclusion : Physical therapists based in Gyeonggi-do showed an awareness of dementia policy. This result will help the association's policy management and protect the physical therapist's rights and interests.

The virtual reality (VR) is an immerging technology used in the serious games industry to treat psychological disorders like dementia. We created a system named as Virtual Reality Home (VRH) for the elderly who lived with Alzheimer's disease (or other form of dementia) and cognitive impairment using virtual reality technology. The purpose of our study is to measure the long-time immersion and retention of VRH on the moods and apathy, enhancement in physical and brain stimulation as well as a decision making with peoples of dementia and explore the experience of aged care home staff's member. The VRH shows a positive impact on the elderly participants and staff members. During the VRH experience, excitement and a great level of alertness were observed among the participants but few of them were feeling anxiety. Furthermore, we observed the improvement in physical, memory and brain stimulation, but the participants have a low focus on decision making because they wanted to explore all interactable objects in the VRH. This study suggests that the VR may have the potential to improve the quality of life, and these results can assist to expand the future development in the enhancement of efficiency of people with dementia.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate health college students' awareness and knowledge of the dementia policy and their attitudes toward dementia. Methods : In this study, 294 questionnaires were collected from 301 college students in the Department of Health of K College in Busan from November 7 to 29, 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 59 items, including 9 items on general characteristics, 10 on awareness of the dementia policy, 15 on attitudes toward dementia, and 25 on knowledge about dementia. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t test, and one-way analysis of variance with SPSS version 25. A post-analysis was performed using the Scheffe test. Dementia policy awareness, knowledge of dementia, and attitude toward dementia were analyzed with the Pearson correlation coefficient by factor. Results : The health students' dementia policy awareness and knowledge of dementia were high, and their attitudes toward dementia were positive. High knowledge of dementia was influenced by sex, interest in dementia, presence of dementia information, and related volunteer work experience. Positive attitudes toward dementia were related to sex, department, and mode of receiving dementia information. High dementia policy perceptions were associated with interest in dementia and the presence or absence of information on dementia. Positive correlations were found between dementia policy perception and knowledge and attitude toward dementia. Conclusion : According to our study, interest in dementia is increasing owing to the recent dementia safety system. As a result, the dementia policy awareness and knowledge of dementia among college students pursuing health studies were high, and their attitude toward dementia was positive. From these results, we can infer that systematic and continuous education on dementia should be conducted in universities.

치매환자는 꾸준히 증가하는 추세로 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 환자들에게 서비스를 제공하는 자들에 대한 처우의 관심도 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 치매환자를 돌보는 요양원 종사자의 돌봄 경험을 살펴보고, 그들의 감정노동, 소진이 직무스트레스와 만족에 미치는 영향과 돌봄 경험의 조절효과를 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 요양병원 종사자의 돌봄 경험은 초기 간호사 마음가짐, 초기 간호수행(돌봄)시 치매환자에 대한 인식, 업무수행(돌봄)과정의 애로사항, 돌봄 과정에서 생기는 신체적 정신적 한계, 업무수행(돌봄)과정의 만족, 치매환자 간호수행(돌봄)을 통한 경험, 개인적 삶에 대한 마음가짐의 변화로 나타났다. 둘째, 감정노동과 소진은 직무스트레스에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정에서 돌봄 경험은 감정노동과 소진이 직무 스트레스에 미치는 영향을 유의하게 조절(완화)하는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 직무 스트레스와 직무 만족 간의 관계는 지지되었다.

Background & Objectives: The purpose of this study was to offer basic materials for the correct comprehension of dementia and of health education needs by comparing the students' recognition level of dementia. Methods: Three health major departments(the department of nursing science, physical therapy and occupational therapy) and three non-health major departments(the department of English, early childhood education and biology) were randomized in universities. And the 180 juniors students involved in this study and their level of educational experience and of recognition of dementia was analyzed. Results: There weas no difference about recognition of social welfare services between the students of health departments and non-health departments, but there were differences between them about other health education needs.

Purpose: This study tries to explore experiences with a special rating dementia service among family caregivers of elderly people with dementia. Methods: The participants were 11 family caregivers of elderly people with dementia and had used a day-care service from the special rating dementia service for more than 3 months. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Results: Three categories emerged: "reminiscence of an entangled life", "feeling relieved from a stifled life", and "hope for a better life through help and support" with 8 sub-categories and 23 codes. By using the special rating dementia service, the participants experienced relief from the burden of caring for their elderly family member with dementia and restored their social relations or family relationships. They experienced a positive transition in which their caring for elderly family members with dementia was integrated into their daily lives, and they expressed their desires for better policies. Conclusion: These findings imply the importance and necessity of the special rating dementia service. Practical and systematic family support programs are necessary and proactive publicity activities by the government and public agencies are suggested to ensure that family caregivers can easily use the special rating dementia system.

본 연구는 치매안심센터 기능에 대한 작업치료 전공 학생들의 인식 수준과 일반적 특성에 따른 인식 수준의 차이에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 2019년 9월부터 12월까지 작업치료 전공 학생들을 대상으로 치매안심센터의 7개 사업유형별 기능에 대한 인식 수준에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 치매안심센터의 7개 사업유형 중 상담 및 등록관리사업에 대한 인식 수준이 가장 높았다. 작업치료 전공 학생들의 일반적 특성 중 연령에 따라 7개의 치매안심센터 사업유형 모두 인식 수준의 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 학년의 경우, 방문형 모델을 제외한 6개의 치매안심센터 사업유형에 대한 인식 수준에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 지역은 치매환자 쉼터 운영사업과 치매가족 지원사업에 대한 인식 수준에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 치매안심센터 이용경험 유무에 따라 치매안심마을 운영에 대한 인식 수준의 유의한 차이가 나타났으며, 치매안심센터 임상실습 경험 여부에 따라 상담 및 등록관리사업, 치매가족 지원사업, 치매안심마을 운영에 대한 인식 수준에 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 지역사회 작업치료 분야의 연구를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고 작업치료 전공 관련 교육기반 마련에 도움이 되었으면 한다.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most representative neurodegenerative diseases, has diverse neurobiological and pathophysiological mechanisms. Treatment strategies targeting a single mechanism have repeated faced failures because the mechanism of neuronal cell death is very complex that is not fully understood yet. Since complex mechanisms exist to explain AD, a variety of diagnostic biomarkers for diagnosing AD are required. Moreover, standardized evaluations for comprehensive diagnosis using neuropsychological, imaging, and laboratory tools are needed. In this review, we summarize the latest clinical, neuropsychological, imaging, and laboratory evaluations to diagnose patients with AD based on our own experience in conducting a prospective study.
