초록

This is a one-group pretest-posttest study to examine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation program education on dementia attitudes and geriatric nursing self-efficacy. The subjects were 15 volunteers registered in volunteer center located in N city volunteer center and 11 members of Korea Senior Care Research Association. The instruments were the Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS) to assess attitudes toward dementia. The knowledge, stabilization, and total score were evaluated separately in DAS. The Inventory Geriatric Nursing Self-Efficacy (IGNSE) was used to measure geriatric nursing self-efficacy. The training program was conducted once a week for 5 weeks. Data were collected from Jul. 20, 2018 to Feb. 5, 2019 and examined before and after the program. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, t-test. The results of this study showed that dementia attitude knowledge (pretest 55.35 ± 10.19, posttest 56.62 ± 7.66) (t = -.692, p = .495), dementia attitude stabilization (pretest 36.35 ± 7.85, posttest 37.23 ± 8.476) (t = -.418, p = .679), and dementia attitude total score (pretest 91.69 ± 15.64, posttest 93.85 ± 13.40) (t = -.630, p = .534) had not changed statistically though improvement in mean scores were observed. The score of self-efficacy for nursing elderly also showed same pattern (pretest 45.46 ± 8.16, posttest 46.15 ± 8.25) (t = -.437, p = .666). These results suggest that the program for cognitive rehabilitation is an excellent candidate program for the volunteers who care for the elderly with dementia. It is difficult, however, to generalize these results due to small size of sample. It is suggested that the proposed program for cognitive rehabilitation program is effective in helping the volunteers caring for elderly with dementia to provide care effectively. It is recommended to develop and analyze the differentiated dementia education program based on demographic characteristics.
