Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore relationships among cognition, activities of daily living, and depression in persons with decreased memory. Method: Data were collected from 121 out-patients with decreased memory and analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Bonferroni test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Result: K-MMSE was significantly increased by BADL (r=.40, p<.001), whereas K-MMSE was significantly decreased by K-IADL (r=-.51, p<.001) and K-IADL significantly decreased by BADL (r=-.51, p<.001). Conclusion: The K-MMSE of persons with decreased memory showed association with BADL and K-IADL. Management of patients complaining of decreased memory and development of nursing interventions will slow down the progression of cognitive impairment.
