Most elderly victims of senile dementia in Korea are cared for at home. This creates hardship for their families. Recent research suggests that the physical environment can affect the treatment of dementia. In light of these findings, a prudent approach to the design of the housing environment of family with dementia sufferers is advisable. This study aims to determine the design factors that need to be considered for the housing environment of dementia, particularly for those suffering from Alzheimer's or Cerebrovascular dementia. For this study, and in-depth qualitative investigation method was employed. Principal caregivers were interviewed using various investigative tools, including objective measures, structured and non-structured questionnaires. The investigation results suggest that the need for housing environment improvement varies with the severity and type of dementia. The housing needs in this study, is expected to promote a focus on improved design management for the environment and housing of dementia and their families. The results also suggest the establishment of a welfare policy for senile dementia victims and their families.

본 연구의 목적은 노인장기요양보험 재가보호서비스를 이용하는 노인성 치매환자 가족의 돌봄경험에 대한 평가와 가족기능과의 관계를 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구의 대상자는 경기도 I병원 치매예방센터에서 DSM-IV기준에 의해 치매를 진단받고 노인장기요양보험 재가보호서비스를 이용하고 있는 65세 이상의 노인성 치매환자 가족구성원 121명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 평균 연령은 $53.80{\pm}10.86$세로 여성이 75.2%이었고 그 중 딸이 37.2%로 가장 많았다. 대상자의 돌봄평가는 중립적 인식의 요구감이 가장 높았고 긍정적 인식인 숙련감, 만족감이 그 다음으로 높았다. 대상자의 가족기능은 보통정도였고 영역별로 정서적 기능이 가장 높았던 반면, 의사소통이 가장 낮았다. 대상자의 돌봄평가 중 긍정적 인식의 만족감이 높고 중립적 인식의 요구감이 낮을수록 가족기능이 높았다. 추후 노인성 치매환자 가족의 돌봄에 대한 요구감을 줄이고 만족감을 향상시키며 가족의 정서적 기능과 의사소통을 증진시키기 위한 간호중재개발이 필요하다.

노령 인구의 계속적인 증가, 그로 인한 노인문제의 발생과 더불어 증가일로에 있는 치매노인의 문제는 대부분의 복지국가의 주요한 사회복지문제의 하나로 급격히 대두되고 있다. 노인문제 및 치매노인문제에 대한 적절한 법ㆍ제도적인 복지정책 입안을 위해 심각히 고민해야 할 시점에 와 있다. 치매노인을 위한 적절한 치료 및 연구, 의료시설이 절대적으로 부족한 관계로 치매노인의 문제는 대체적으로 그 가족의 문제로 한정되어 방치되고 있는 실정이다. 가족에 지워진 부양의 부담은 가족관계의 악화, 비용부담의 가중으로 인하여 심한 가족간의 갈등을 겪게 될 것이고 종국적으로는 가족의 해체까지도 우려 하지 않을 수 없는 것이다. 고령화사회에 대비한 치매노인문제의 해결과 정책은 정부, 지역사회, 가족등이 상호연대하여 노력하는 공동적인 관심과 협조가 절대적으로 필요하다. 치매노인의 부양부담의 문제는 일차적으로는 가족에게 있다고 보지만 지역사회와 국가기관은 그 가족 및 환자에게 의료 및 복지서비스의 제공을 위해 적극적인 역할을 하여야 할 것이며, 또 서비스를 제공할려는 모든 단체 및 개인에게 행ㆍ재정적인 지원과 노력을 아끼지 말아야 할 것이다. 특별히 치매노인 복지센터를 운영할려고 하는 민간기업에게는 세제상의 특혜도 고려할 필요가 있다고 본다. 치매노인의 문제는 우리모두의 문제라는 인식의 확대가 필요하고 정부 단독으로, 혹은 지방자치단체만의 힘으로는 한계가 있다. 민간, 정부, 기업이 공동으로 노력할 때 가장 바람직한 선진화된 치매노인복지 정책방안이 모색되어질 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect on improvement of the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) and decrease the cognitive function and agitation behaviors by reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation for senile dementia. The quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Subjects were 26 with mild senile dementia who were cared for at a Day Care Center for Dementia in Seoul. The data were collected from March to July, 1999. Subjects were divided into three groups : Control Igroup with 10 subjects, reminiscence group(Control II group with 8 subjects), and reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation group(experimental group with 8 subjects). The Control I group got routine care as usual. Control II group participated in reminiscence sessions for one hour a day, five times a week , for a period of 4 weeks. The experimental group participated in reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation sessions for one hour a day, five times a week, for a period of 4 weeks. Instruments of this study were color photography with sound that was developed through an open questionnaire about events, objects, humans in action and animals that 100 Korean elderly over 60 would like to memorize. This was referred from the Sensory Stimuli Package by Namazi and Haynes(1994). The effects of treatment was evaluated through MMSE-K by Kwon & Park(1989). Also the Brief Cognitive Rating Scale(BCRS) by Reisberg et al(1983) for the cognitive function, through Agitation Inventory by Cohen- Mansfield and Colleague(1989) for behavioral response and through the Rapid Disability Rating Scale-2(RDRS-2) by Linn & Linn(1982) for the activity of daily living respectively. Data analysis was done using SPSS for $\chi$2- test, ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA. The results were as follows : 1. Reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation did not improve cognitive function for senile dementia, but significantly improved verbal expression, the subscale of cognitive function. 2. Reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation reduced agitation behavior of experimental group significantly, but there was no significant difference between groups. 3. Reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation did not significantly effect the activity of daily living after treatment. In conclusion, it was shown that the reminiscence with audio-visual stimulation was an effective therapy to improve verbal expression and to reduce agitation behaviors of senile dementia. Further research with more indepth approach is needed, considering characteristic and level individualized for each senile dementia.

본 연구의 목적은 치매노인의 보호를 위해 필요한 주요문제특성의 추출이다. 시설에 입소해 있는 치매노인 110명과 정상노인 30명을 대상으로 기본특성 조사, 인지기능 선별검사(Korean Mini-Mental State Examination: K-MMSE), 문제특성 설문조사를 실시하였다. 요인분석(factor analysis)을 이용하여 치매노인의 주요문제특성을 추출하고, 일원변량분석(one-way ANOVA)을 이용하여 성별과 치매 중증도에 따른 문제특성의 빈도차이를 검증하였다. 요인분석결과 총 20개의 주요문제특성이 추출되었다. 문제특성의 빈도는 성별에 따라 폭력적 언어 및 작화, 수집행동, 반복행동에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 치매 중증도에 따라서는 성적 이상행동과 시청력 장애를 제외한 모든 특성에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 치매노인 보호를 위한 유비쿼터스 기술의 활용에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The best way to care senile dementia patients is understanding the nature of disease. Care-givers can't understand the patients because the patients can't properly communicate with care-givers. Thus, care-givers are supposed to find out ways to understand them in the nature of disease. From this view, there seems no exception in essential attitude of care-givers toward the patients. Without positive understanding the nature of disease and respecting patient's rights as a human even though they are badly disorder in their word and behavior. There seems no expectation for thousands quality of care-giving.

치매노인의 주요 문제특성의 추출을 위해 시설에 입소해 있는 치매노인 110명을 대상으로 기본특성 조사, 인지기능 선별검사, 문제특성 설문조사를 실시하였다. 요인분석결과 총 20개의 주요 문제특성이 추출되었다. 본 연구에서는 치매노인 보호를 위해 주요 문제특성 20개의 위험순위를 결정하였다. 치매진단 및 치매환자를 접한 경험이 있는 정신보건 임상심리사 32명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 계층분석법을 이용하여 상대적 위험도를 분석하였고, 20개의 문제특성 전체에 대하여 위험도 서열을 정하도록 하여 위험순위를 결정하였다. 두 가지 분석 결과 모두 치매 노인의 일상생활 수행 시 기억력, 판단력, 지남력 장애와 같은 인지문제가 가장 위험한 것으로 나타났다.
