Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between the cognitive functions, health conditions, activities of daily living, depression and sleep states among the elderly at care facilities. The subjects include 204 elderly people aged 65. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The findings show that the cognitive functions of the elderly at care facilities are related to their engagement in regular exercise, duration of residency, grade of care, lack of physical freedom, listening ability, state of teeth, urinary incontinence, activities of daily living, and state of sleep. Their cognitive functions had positive correlations with activities of daily living and negative correlations with state of sleep. Their cognitive impairment was significantly influenced by their engagement in regular exercise, duration of residency, grade of care, listening ability, ADL, IAD dependency, and sleep disorder. In short, the cognitive functions of the elderly at care facilities are highly related to their health conditions as perceived and felt by them. It is thus required to develop, apply, and consistently assess and manage cognitive rehabilitation training programs to provide interventions for the factors that influence their cognitive impairment.

본 연구는 요양시설에 있는 노인들의 건강상태, 일상생활수행능력, 우울, 수면과 인지기능정도와의 관련성을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 요양시설에서 거주하는 만 65세 이상의 노인 204명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 기술적 통계, t-tset, ANOVA, pearson correlation과 hierarchical multiple regression으로 분석 하였다. 그 결과, 요양시설 노인들의 인지기능 정도와 관련성은 규칙적 운동, 입소기간, 요양등급, 신체 부자유함 유무, 듣는 능력, 치아상태, 요실금, 일상생활수행능력, 수면 등과 관련이 있었다. 인지기능정도와 상관관계에서는 일상생활수행능력과 양의 상관관계로 나타났고, 수면과 음의상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 요양시설 노인들의 인지기능장애에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 규칙적 운동을 하지 않을 때, 입소기간이 길 때, 요양등급이 높을 때, 듣는 능력이 나쁠 때, ADL(Activities of Daily Living), IADL(Instrumental Activities of Daily Living)이 의존적일 때, 수면장애가 있을 때 인지기능장애가 높았다. 결론적으로, 요양시설 노인들의 인지기능과의 관련성은 노인 스스로 인지하는 건강상태와 감각영역 건강상태와 관련이 높으며, 이러한 인지기능장애 영향요인을 중재하기 위한 인지재활훈련 프로그램 등의 개발, 적용 및 지속적인 평가 및 관리가 요구된다.
