Abstract

As the prevention of dementia is more important than the treatment after the onset, attention has focused on the prevention of dementia in the elderly. For this study based on 11 integrated programs, we analyzed the domestic research trends of dementia prevention programs for the elderly from 2000 to 2018 in the study of Yang Su-gyeong, Ko Bo-sook, and Park Jeong-hwan (2019) We reviewed the literature research on the elderly's dementia prevention program centered on play. By activity type, music, language, and physical activity were 4 (40.0%), respectively, and games, art, and work were 3 (30.0%), respectively. Dance, literature, traditional play, and recreation were 2 (20.0%), and yoga and life were 1 (10.0%), respectively. In this study, for the purpose of exploring the possibility of using the contents of early childhood education in the elderly dementia prevention program, play shows very positive aspects such as physical exercise ability, positive emotions, and emotional characteristics for the elderly. It is considered that if dementia prevention programs are developed using the contents of early childhood education for the elderly, they will be able to utilize leisure time positively while providing continuous services and maintaining group experiences and mental health.

우리나라 노인들 평균수명이 늘어나면서 고령화로 인한 노인의 건강에 대한 문제가 많이 발생하고, 치매 발병률이 증가되고 있음으로 인해 사회적으로 심각한 수준에 이르고 있다. 치매는 발병 후 치료보다는 예방이 중요한 만큼 노인의 치매 예방에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 본 연구를 위해 양수경, 고보숙, 박정환(2019)의 연구에서 2000년~2018년까지 노인을 대상으로 한 치매예방프로그램의 국내 연구동향에서 분석한 통합프로그램 11편을 기반으로 유아교육에서 이루어지고 있는 놀이를 중심으로 한 노인 치매예방프로그램 문헌연구를 살펴보았다. 활동유형별로 음악, 언어, 신체활동이 각각 4개(40.0%)로 나타났고, 게임, 미술, 작업이 각각 3개(30.0%)로 나타났다. 그리고 무용, 문학, 전통놀이, 레크레이션이 2개(20.0%)로 나타났고, 요가와 생활은 각각 1개(10.0%)의 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 노인 치매예방프로그램에서 유아교육 콘텐츠의 활용 가능성에 대해 탐구하는 것을 목적으로 노인에게 있어 놀이는 유아 뿐만 아니라 노인들에게 신체 운동능력과 긍정적인 정서, 정서적 특성 등 매우 긍정적인 측면이 나타나고 있다. 노인들을 위한 유아교육 콘텐츠를 활용하여 치매예방프로그램을 개발한다면 지속적인 서비스 제공과 함께 집단활동의 경험과 정신건강을 유지하면서 여가시간을 긍정적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.
