Abstract

This study aims to develop a protocol for the visualized memory training program using the picture book and evaluate its clinical utility. A total of 5 sessions were conducted for 5 elderly people with mild dementia. Rey-Kim II, GDS-Short, word test were conducted to observe its effectiveness before and after the program. As a results overall memory was improved but was not statistically significant. Overall depression was also improved and statistically significant. The effect of word memory varies depending on individuals' degenerative conditions. In conclusion, the visualized memory training program using the picture book is effective in improving the memory to some extent and had an emotional effect of reducing depression in mild dementia. In the future it is necessary to research its effects in larger population.

본 연구는 그림책을 활용한 시각화 기억훈련 프로그램의 프로토콜을 개발하고 임상에 적용하기 위하여 유용성을 확인하고자 한다. 경도치매 환자 5명을 대상으로 총 5회기의 시각화 기억훈련 프로그램을 진행하였다. 프로그램 진행 전후 단어 기억력, 전반적 기억력검사, 및 우울감검사를 시행하여 그 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 프로그램 시행 후 전반적 기억력의 향상이 있었으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 반면 우울감에는 통계적으로 유의미한 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 단어 기억력에 있어 일부 대상자는 인출 및 재인의 향상을 보였고 일부 대상자는 변화가 없거나 더 나빠진 것으로 나타났다. 본 프로그램은 일부 경도치매 환자의 기억력 향상에 도움이 되며 우울감이 감소하는 정서적 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 그룹 인지치료 모델로 널리 활용되길 바라며 더 많은 대상자 수의 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
