Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a short-term group multimodal intervention program that mixes physical activity, cognitive motion, and social interaction, on the cognitive function and depression level of healthy over 75-year-old individuals. Method: This study used a one group pre-test-post-test design, and intervention was made for 70 minutes per session, once a week, for four sessions in total. To compare changes in cognitive function, depression level and physical function before and after intervention, this study used the Mini-Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening (MMSE-DS), Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Result: After applying group multimodal interventions to healthy over 75-year-old individuals, there was a statistically significant improvement in their cognitive function (p < 0.01), and there was a statistically significant decrease in their depression level (p < 0.05). Also, there was an increase in the rating score of the degree of balance from $46.83{\pm}9.11$ points before the intervention, to $48.08{\pm}7.00$ points after the intervention; however, it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Short-term group multimodal intervention that mixes physical activity, cognitive motion, and social interaction had a significant effect on slowing down the deterioration of cognitive function in healthy over 75 year-old individuals, and decreased their depression level. This study is significant in that it presents a foundation for providing more systematic intervention for the prevention of dementia and depression in the healthy older individuals. Follow-up studies should verify the result through research on the effects of an occupational therapist's professional treatment, and experimental group-control research.

목적: 신체활동과 인지운동, 사회적 상호작용을 혼합한 단기 집단 복합중재가 75세 이상의 고령 정상 노인의 인지기능과 우울 수준에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: 본 연구 설계는 단일 집단 사전-사후 설계(one group pretest-posttest design)로 중재는 회당 70분, 주 1회, 총 4회기 동안 실시하였다. 중재 전과 후의 인지기능과 우울 수준, 신체기능의 변화를 비교하기 위해서 치매 선별용 간이 정신상태검사(Mini-Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening; MMSE-DS)와 단축형 노인우울척도(Short Form for Geriatric Depression Scale; SGDS), 버그균형척도(Berg Balance Scale; BBS)를 사용하였다. 결과: 75세 이상의 고령 정상노인에게 집단 복합중재를 적용한 후 인지기능은 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 있었고(p<.01), 우울 수준은 통계적으로 유의미한 감소가 있었다(p<.05). 균형수준도 중재 전$46.83{\pm}9.11$점에서 중재 후 $48.08{\pm}7.00$점으로 평가점수의 증가는 있었으나, 통계적으로 유의미하지는 않았다(p>.05). 결론: 신체활동과 인지운동, 사회적 상호작용을 혼합한 단기 집단 복합중재는 75세 이상의 고령 정상노인의 인지기능의 저하를 늦추고 우울수준을 감소시키는데 유의한 효과가 있었다. 본 연구는 정상노인들의 치매, 우울 예방을 위한 중재에 있어서 보다 체계적인 중재를 제공하기 위한 근거를 제시한다는 점에 의의가 있다. 향후 연구에서는 작업치료사에 의한 전문적인 치료에 대한 효과연구와 실험군-대조군 연구를 통해 효과입증이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
