Abstract

This study is a quasi-experimental of one-group pretest-posttest design to verify the effects on loneliness, depression and self-esteem when conducted the cognitive function enhancement program for elderly people over 75 years old. It was carried out on 6 persons living in C North G Country who was subjected to elderly people over 75 years old for 10 weeks from September 26, 2016 to December 17,2016 in order to compare changes in loneliness, depression, and self-esteem. As a result, it was found that depression had noticeably decreased and self-esteem had significantly improved with the program. Thus, the cognitive enhancement program is thought to carry benefits as nursing intervention for the decrease in depression and the improvement of self-esteem in old-old elderly.

본 연구는 75세 이상 후기 노인을 대상으로 인지기능향상프로그램을 시행하여 고독감, 우울, 자아존중감의 효과를 검증하기 위한 단일집단 사전 사후 설계(one-group pretest-posttest design)의 유사실험 연구이다. C북도 G군에 거주하는 자 중 75세 이상 후기 노인 대상자 6명으로, 2016년 9월26일~12월17일까지 총 10주간 프로그램을 시행하여 고독감, 우울, 자아존중감의 변화를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 우울감은 프로그램 적용 이후 의미 있게 감소하였으며 자아존중감은 유의하게 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 인지기능향상프로그램은 후기 노인의 우울 감소와 자아존중감 향상을 위한 간호중재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
