초록


본 연구는 회상치료 프로그램이 요양원 여성노인의 우울, 불안 및 회상기능에 어떠한 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 하는 목적으로 진행되었다. 연구대상자는 요양원에 3개월 이상 입소하여 생활하고 있는 65세 이상 여성노인 중 실험군 7명과 대조군 7명을 무작위로 배정하였다. 연구기간은 2010년 3월 9일부터 2010면 5월 11일까지 실시하였으며, 우울 및 불안, 회상기능 검사는 사전, 사후로 나누어 시행하였다. 회상프로그램은 일주일에 하루 한 시간씩 총 10번의 회기로 진행되었다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 회상치료는 요양원 여성노인의 우울을 감소시키는 효과가 있었다. 둘째, 회상치료는 요양원 여성노인의 불안에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 셋째, 회상치료는 요양원 여성노인의 회상기능의 일부 기능을 향상시키는 효과적이었다. 이러한 연구 결과로 볼 때 지속적으로 회상치료를 시행하는 것이 요양원 여성노인의 우울과 회상기능 수준을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 것이다


One of the problems faced by the aging society is the increasing number of aged people. Reminiscence therapy, which is one of the treatments for elderly people, has been showing excellent results in curing mental symptoms. Reminiscence therapy involves the discussion of past activities, events and experiences with another person or group of people, usually with the aid of tangible prompts such as photographs, household and other familiar items from the past, music and archive sound recordings. Although many studies have been performed on the effects of reminiscence therapy inside and outside of the country, very few investigated the simultaneous improvement of reminiscence functions and emotional stability in aged people. This study tried to find that the reminiscence therapy program specially made for aged women is effective on improving mental conditions. In detail, 14 aged patients who stay at "A" nursing home were divided by half into experimental group and control group. The study conducted a session a week from March to May 2010, totaling 10 sessions. As pre- and post tests, depression, anxiety and reminiscence functions were applied the experimental group and the control group. In order to verify the changes in each group before and after the sessions, paired t-test was conducted and independent t-test was performed to compare changes in two groups. According to the research results, the experiment group showed improvement in reminiscence functions and decrease in depression. The experiment group displayed no significant change in anxiety. On the meantime, the control group showed the difference in all three tests without statistical significance. This study showed a significant meaning by presenting the results of the effects of reminiscence therapy on improving mental condition. Facing an aging society, people should prepare for elderly life. In order to resolve the problems with the sick elderly, appropriate treatment programs should be given at an appropriate time. Also, more specialized therapy program needs to be developed.
