괿�절염 노��의 사회 연결망을 이용한 운동요법의 효과

본 연구에서는 사회 연결망을 이용한 운동요법을 제공
하고 이를 통해 신체기능, 자기효능감, 우울에 미치는 영
향을 규명하기 위한 것으로 구체적인 목적은 다음과 같다.
첫째, 연구대상자의 일반적 특성과 사회 연결망 특성을 확
인한다.
둘째, 실험군과 대조군의 실험 전후 효과를 검증하고, 실
험군과 대조군의 사후 집단간 차이를 비교한다

Purpose: This study was done to examine
differences in variables by social network and the
effects of an exercise program on physical
function, self-efficacy, and depression in elders
with osteoarthritis. Method: Forty-six elders
participated, 25 in the experimental group and
21 in the control group. An exercise program
using social networks was given for the
experimental group and the same exercise
program without using social networks was given for the control group. Pre and post tests were
conducted to measure the main variables.
Results: For both the experimental and control
group, physical function, self-efficacy and
depression scores were significantly different
between pre and post intervention. In terms of
the effect of the exercise program using social
networks, there was a significant difference in
physical function between the experimental and
control groups but not for self-efficacy or
depression. Conclusion: Based on the above
results, the exercise program using social
networks can be utilized in the field of geriatric
nursing as a nursing intervention for elders with
osteoarthritis. However additional rigorous
studies are needed to examine long term effects.
