Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of baking and pastry activity programs on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. The study was carried out on 19 elderly with dementia who attended K city C daycare center and who provided consent. A total of 10 elderly were assigned to the experimental group, and the other nine were assigned to the control group. To test the effectiveness of the program, this research used the pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group administered the program from January 2, 2017 to February 28, 2017. However, the control group did not undergo a separate program. Fisher's accuracy test was performed to identify the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups. Mann-Whitney U Test was conducted to identify the homogeneity of the cognitive functions of the experimental and control groups prior to the launch of the program. Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank and Mann-Whitney U Test were conducted to determine the effects of the program on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. As a result, the program verified the effect on the cognitive function of the elderly with dementia. According to these findings, the important issues and limitations of the research are discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 제과제빵 활동프로그램이 치매노인의 인지기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 연구대상자들은 K시의 C노인복지센터 주간보호시설을 이용하는 19명의 치매노인들로서 프로그램 참여에 동의한 사람들이다. 이들 가운데 무작위로 10명은 실험집단으로, 9명은 통제집단으로 집단을 구성한 후, 두 집단에 대한 동질성을 확인하였다. 실험집단은 2017년 1월 2일 ~ 2017년 2월 28일 사이에 주 2회씩 1회기당 90분씩 총 15회의 프로그램을 실시하였으며, 통제집단은 그 시간 동안 별도의 프로그램을 실시하지 않았다. 실험집단과 통제집단의 동질성여부를 파악하기 위해서는 Fisher's exact probability test를 실시했다. 그리고 실험집단과 통제집단의 프로그램 실시전, 인지기능의 동질성여부를 파악하기 위해서는 Mann-Whitney U Test를 실시했다. 프로그램이 치매노인의 인지기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해서는 Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank와 Mann-Whitney U Test를 실시했다. 그리고 각 대상자들의 프로그램에 대한 반응과 인지변화를 살펴보기 위해 프로그램 진행과정에 대한 관찰과 질적 분석을 실시했다. 그 결과 제과제빵 활동프로그램은 치매노인의 인지기능 향상에 유의미한 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 추후 노인복지실천 현장에서 치매노인들을 대상으로 제과제빵 활동프로그램을 실시할 시의 유의점과 함께 본 연구의 한계점 그리고 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제시했다.
