Abstract

Objective : This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of ICT-Living Lab-based programs to promote the health of elderly residents in small and medium-sized cities, thus, providing basic data for solving the health and quality of life problems faced by modern society. Methods : The tow-month program included 14 elderly individuals visiting senior center located in W City, from October to November 2019. The program was organized by consulting four senior experts and one ICT expert. The program consisted of 10 min for advance assessment, 10 min for preparation activities, 30 min for main activities, and 10 min for finishing, and 60 min for eight sessions over two months, once a week. Results : EQ-5D increased from 0.76 to 0.84, compared to pre-assessment(p=.009*). EQ-VAS scores increased from 36.43 to 65.71 (p=.001*). MMSE-DS increased from 21.21 to 24.14 (p=.000*). SGDS-K decreased from 3.36 to 3.21, but this was not statistically significant (p=.854). Conclusion : The ICT·Living Lab-based program could be used as a basic material for future research as one of the ways to improve health and quality of life by preventing and addressing the problems faced by the elderly in modern society.

목적 : 본 연구는 중소도시 지역 거주 고령자의 건강 증진을 위한 ICT-리빙랩(Living lab) 기반 프로그램의 효과성을 검증하고 이에 따라 현대사회가 직면한 노인 건강과 삶의 질 문제 해결에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 2019년 10월부터 11월까지 2개월에 걸쳐 강원도 W시에 소재한 경로당을 이용하는 고령자 14명을 대상으로 ICT-리빙랩 기반 프로그램을 실시하였다. 본 프로그램은 노인 관련 전문가 4명, ICT 전문가 1명의 자문과 대상자들의 필요와 요구를 고려하여 구성하였다. 프로그램은 사전 평가 10분, 준비활동 10분, 주활동 30분, 마무리 10분으로, 총 60분의 구성을 주 1회씩 2개월간, 총 8회기를 실시하였다. 결과 : 실험대상자들은 사전평가에 비해 사후평가에서 삶의 질 점수(EQ-5D)가 0.76에서 0.84로 증가하였고(p=.009*), 주관적 건강상태(EQ-VAS)는 36.43에서 65.71로 증가하였다(p=.001*). 인지능력(MMSE-DS)은 21.21에서 24.14로 증가하였고(p=.000*), 우울감(SGDS-K)에서는 3.36에서 3.21로 평균점수가 감소하였지만 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=.854). 결론 : 본 연구의 ICT-리빙랩 프로그램은 현대사회가 직면한 노인문제를 예방 및 개선하여 건강과 삶의 질을 증진시키는 방안 중 하나로써 추후 관련 연구에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
