Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the motivational interviewing (MI) dementia preventive intervention on dementia preventive behaviors, depression and cognitive function among elderly over 75 years of age in nursing homes. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 57 participants were divided into three groups; 18 in the MI dementia preventive intervention (Group A), 20 in the dementia preventive program (Group B) and 19 in the control group. Dementia preventive behaviors, depression, and cognitive function were assessed at pre, post, and 1 month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: The results reported that there were significant differences in dementia preventive behaviors and depression among Group A, B, and C. Also, there were significant differences in dementia preventive behaviors and cognitive function during time periods. There was a significant interaction between groups and times in relation to depression. Results suggested that the effects of MI dementia preventive program was persistent after 1 month following the intervention. Conclusion: Further research needs to develop dementia preventive programs considering physical and mental traits of the elderly in late years staying at nursing homes.

본 연구는 경로당을 이용하는 노인들을 대상으로 ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램을 적용하여 활력, 치매두려움 및 치매예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 시도되었다. 프로그램 구성은 주 2회, 6주, 회기당 30분 분량으로 총 12회차이며 단일군 전후 실험설계이다. 자료분석은 기술통계, Paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient를 이용하였다. ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램은 경로당 노인의 활력과 치매예방행위를 증가시키고, 치매두려움은 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 ICT기반 치매예방 통합프로그램을 경로당 이용노인의 치매예방를 위해 실무현장에서 활용할 것을 권장한다.

본 연구의 목적은 치매예방프로그램을 적용하여 치매지식, 우울, 인지기능에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구는 비동등성 대조군 사전 사후 유사실험설계(Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design)로 실험군 30명, 대조군 31명 총 61명의 노인을 대상으로 하였으며, SPSS WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 독립표본 t-test로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 치매지식(t=3.976, p<.001), 인지기능(t=3.048, p<.05)에서 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 치매예방프로그램은 노인의 치매지식과 인지기능을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 그러므로 미국의 다른 도시에 거주하는 한인노인들에게 치매예방을 위한 프로그램을 적용한 후속연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: We developed and tested the effects of a care program for dementia patients among community- dwelling older adult men. Methods: This study used a non-equivalent control group pre-and post-test design. To verify the effectiveness of the care program for dementia patients, 26 community dwelling older adult men participated in this study. We used multiple intervention strategies including improving understanding of dementia through education, activities for dementia prevention, and promoting psychological change. In particular, based on the current understanding of the care of the men older adults, we used strategies to promote motivation and reinforce strengths. Results: After completing the 6-week intervention program, when compared with the control group, older adult men in the care program intervention group showed significant differences in scores for the following: cognitive functions (p=.035), attitude toward dementia (p=.026), preventive behavior (p=.007), geriatric depression (p=.013), caring confidence (p=.018), and self-esteem (p=.013). Conclusion: These results indicate that the care program for dementia patients has positive effects on increasing their cognitive function, attitude toward dementia, preventive behavior, caring confidence, self-efficacy, and on decreasing depression rates in this population. Based on this, we can recommend this program to men caregivers for the improved care of dementia in community centers.

Purpose: This study was done to examine actor and partner effect of dementia knowledge, self-efficacy and depression on dementia preventive behavior in elderly couples. Methods: Participants were 115 couples aged 60 years or over who met eligibility criteria. All measures were self-administered. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 program. Results: Dementia knowledge in elderly couples showed actor and partner effect on dementia preventive behavior. Self-efficacy in the wife did not have direct effects on dementia preventive behavior, but showed indirect effects through dementia knowledge. Self-efficacy in the husband showed direct effects on dementia preventive behavior and indirect effects through dementia knowledge. Wife's depression had direct actor effect on dementia preventive behavior and indirect effect through self-efficacy and dementia knowledge. Husband's depression did not have direct actor effect on dementia preventive behavior, but indirect effect through self-efficacy and dementia knowledge. Effect size of wives' dementia knowledge, self-efficacy and depression on dementia preventive behavior was larger than that of husbands'. Dementia preventive behavior, dementia knowledge and depression had a mutual effect. Conclusion: Results indicate that to promote dementia preventive activity in elderly couples, programs should be conducted for both of the couple, but focused differently for wife and husband.

본 연구의 목적은 중장년층의 치매에 대한 지식, 태도 및 예방행위에 대하여 조사하고 관련 요인을 파악하는 것이다. 연구 대상자는 P시에 거주하는 중장년층 남녀 297명이며, 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS/WIN 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 치매에 대한 지식은 9.0점, 치매에 대한 태도는 2.98점, 치매 예방행위는 2.22점이었다. 치매에 대한 지식은 치매에 대한 예방행위와 치매에 대한 태도에 정적인 상관관계가 있었다. 치매 예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 흡연, 음주, 치매에 대한 지식, 월수입으로 나타났으며, 이러한 요인들은 치매 예방행위를 39% 설명하였다. 그러므로 중장년층의 치매에 대한 예방행위를 향상시키기 위해서는 금연 및 절주에 대한 교육 및 치매에 대한 지식을 높이기 위해 중장년층을 위한 맞춤형 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore factors influencing on the preventive behaviors of dementia in older Koreans enrolled in senior welfare centers to provide basic information on dementia prevention. Methods: A total of 182 older Koreans participated in this study, which employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using questionnaires with items related to general characteristics, depression, self-esteem, knowledge and attitudes about dementia, preventive behaviors of dementia, dementia management self-efficacy, and anxiety about dementia. Using SPSS WIN 23.0, data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: Living with a spouse (p=.013), a higher monthly income (p=.018), better nutrition (p=.010), not having a sleep disorder (p<.001), and higher number of participating programs (p=.001) were associated with better dementia prevention behaviors. Attitudes about dementia (��=.18, p=.006) and the number of programs older Koreans were participating in (��=.17, p=.006) influenced positively on the preventive behaviors of dementia, while depression (��=-.41, p<.001) and sleep disorders (��=-.17, p=.006) influenced negatively on dementia preventive behaviors. Overall, approximately 35% of the variability in dementia preventive behaviors was explained by these four variables in this study (F=24.97, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that depression reduction, good attitudes about dementia, program participation, and good sleep should be encouraged to promote dementia prevention. In addition, effective and structured educational programs should be developed for older Koreans to encourage dementia preventive behaviors to reduce the risk of dementia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a mobile application on quality of life, wellness, and preventive behaviors against dementia among older adults who use senior citizen centers. Methods: Seventy-two older adults who used senior citizen centers were allocated to an intervention group (n = 36) and a control group (n = 36). The experimental treatment involved a cognitive enhancement program for preventing dementia using a mobile application for 12 sessions over 6 weeks. Data were analyzed using the t-test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, paired t-test, and independent t-test. Results: The cognitive enhancement program based on a mobile application was effective for wellness (t = -3.87, p < .001) and preventive behaviors against dementia (t = -3.98, p < .001) for older adults who used a senior center. Conclusion: The mobile application-based cognitive enhancement program developed in this study is recommended as an effective intervention for dementia prevention in older adults.

본 연구는 지역사회 거주 독거노인의 치매에 대한 지식 및 태도가 치매예방행위에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 조사연구이다. 연구 대상자는 지역사회 거주 독거노인 101명이었으며 자료 수집은 2020년 1월 2일부터 1월 16일까지 수행되었다. 분석방법은 SPSS/ WIN 24.0을 이용하여 기술통계, 상관관계 및 다중회귀분석으로 실시하였다. 연구결과, 지역사회 거주 독거노인의 치매예방행위는 치매지식(r=.42, p<.001)과 유의한 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 치매예방행위에 영향을 미치는 요인은 운동(β=-.26, p=003), 주관적 건강상태(β=.26, p=.003), 치매에 대한 지식(β=.37, p<.001)으로 나타났으며 모형의 설명력은 28.7%이었다. 이에 지역사회 거주 독거노인의 치매예방행위를 향상시키기 위해서는 운동과 주관적 건강상태 및 치매에 대한 지식을 향상시킬 수 있는 치매예방교육 중재 개발을 제안하는 바이다.
