이 연구는 치매노인의 인지기능 퇴행방지와 잔존신체기능 유지를 위하여 홀니스프로그램을 개발하 고 그 효과를 검증하였다. 연구대상자는 A1 노인복지관 주간보호시설 치매노인 20명을 실험군으로, A2노인복지관 주간보호시설 치매노인 20명을 통제군으로 배치하였으며, 주 1회, 60분간 총 30주에 걸 쳐 홀니스프로그램을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 실험군에서 인지기능(LOTCA-G)을 제외하고 K-MMSE (한국판 간이 정신상태검사), 인지장애정도(GDS), 기능체력(SFT & BBS), 일상생활수행능력(K-ADL) 모두 유의한 차이가 있었고, 실험군의 대응 비교에서도 유의한 차이가 있어 홀니스프로그램이 치매노인 의 인지·신체 통합건강프로그램임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 시의성과 학문적 맥락에서 부족한 선행연 구 보완은 물론 관련 지식을 한 층 더 공고히 할 것으로 기대한다.

This study developed a Wholeness program and verified its effectiveness at preventing cognitive degeneration and maintain residual body function of the elderly with dementia. The subjects of this study were A1 Elderly Welfare Center Day Care Center, the 20 elderly with dementia as an experimental group, and A2 Elderly Welfare Center Day Care Facility, the 20 dementia elderly as an control group. A Wholeness program was conducted once a week for a total of 30 weeks for 60 minutes. As a result, in the experimental group, except for cognitive function (LOTCA-G), K-MMSE (Korean version of Mini-mental state examination), cognitive impairment (GDS), functional fitness (SFT & BBS), and daily living ability (K-ADL), there was a significant difference in all of them, and there was a significant difference in the comparison of the correspondence of the experimental group, confirming that the Wholeness program was an integrated cognitive and physical health program for the elderly with dementia. This result confirmed that the Wholeness program was an integrated cognitive and physical health program for the elderly with dementia. It is expected that the results of previous studies that were lacking in timeliness and academic context will be supplemented.
