Abstract
본 연구는 지역사회 주간보호시설을 이용하는 경도치매환자에게 집단작업치료프로그램을 제공하고 이에 따른 시지각과 작업수행기술의 변화를 알아보고자 예비연구를 실시하였다. 65세 이상 치매진단을 받은 9명을 대상으로 주 3회, 60분씩, 총 4주간 감각적, 신체적, 창의적 활동을 포함한 집단작업치료프로그램을 실시하였다, 치료전 후 시지각 기능, 작업수행기술에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위한 유사실험연구로서 단일군 전후실험설계를 적용하였으며, 수집한 자료는 빈도분석과 기술통계를 사용하여 분석하였다. 집단작업치료프로그램 전과 실시 후에 대한 분석 결과 시지각 기능과 작업수행에서는 기초선과 프로그램 종결 후 통계적으로 매우 유의한 차이(p<0.01, p<0.05)가 있었지만 작업수행기술 중 운동기술에서는 프로그램 전 후의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 집단작업치료프로그램이 주간보호시설을 이용하는 치매환자의 시지각과 작업수행기술 관리에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. The purpose of this study is to have a preliminary study in order to identify changes in occupational performance skills and visual perception of patients with mild dementia, who have been provided with a group occupational therapy program, within community day-care center. The subjects of this study were 9 people with mild dementia living in a community. The period of administration was for 60 minutes per session three times a week during four weeks. We assessed their visual perception function(MVPT) and occupational performance(AMPS). One group pre-post test design was implemented as an experimental study to compare the results between before and after applying the group occupational therapy program within sensory, physical, creative activity. While a statistically significant difference between before and after the program of motor skills(occupational performance skill) is not shown, the visual perception function and occupational performance of patients with mild dementia improved significantly after receiving occupational therapy program(p<0.01, p<0.05). Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the group occupational therapy program is helpful to manage the occupational performance skills and visual perception of patients with mild dementia in community day-care center.
