Abstract

본 연구는 요양시설 치매노인을 대상으로 식사행동장애 실태와 영향요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 일 지역 3개 요양시설에 거주하는 치매노인 158명이었으며, 연구기간은 2014년 8월18일부터 9월12일까지였으며, 식사행동장애, 신체기능(K-ADL) 및 인지기능(MMSE-K)을 측정하였다. 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계, 회귀분석으로 검정하였다. 식사행동장애 정도는 전체 평균이 $0.62{\pm}0.43$ 점(0-2점 범위)이었고, 식사 중 주의 깊은 감독이 필요하다가 가장 빈도가 높은 식사행동장애였다. 회귀분석결과 신체기능( ${\beta}=.312$ ), 인지기능( ${\beta}=-.172$ ) 순으로 식사행동장애에 영향을 미쳤고, 이들 변수의 설명력은 20.0%였다. 이러한 연구결과는 요양시설 치매노인의 식사행동장애를 돕기 위한 식사행동단계별 대처전략 개발, 시설 돌봄 제공자의 교육프로그램 개발 연구의 필요성을 제시한다. 【The purpose of this study was to investigate feeding difficulty and its influencing factors of elders with dementia in long-term care facilities. Participants were 158 elders with dementia residing in three nursing facilities. Data were collected from Aug. 18 to Sep. 12 in 2014. The feeding difficulty in dementia scale, Korean version-Activities of Daily Living and Mini-Mental State Exam-Korean version were used as instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression by SPSS 17.0. Mean feeding difficulty score was $0.62{\pm}0.43$ (range of 0-2). The highest feeding difficulty item was patient require close supervision while feeding. The variables influencing the feeding difficulty was ADL( ${\beta}=.312$ ), cognitive function( ${\beta}=-.172$ ) which explained about 20.0% of total variance. The results suggest the need of developing feeding difficulty coping strategy according to dietary behavior phase, In addition, the development and testing the educational program for caregivers to help feeding difficulty of the elders with dementia in long-term facility are recommended.】
