Abstract

Objective : This study was to investigate the effect of Occupation based reminiscence program on depression and resilience of community elderly. Methods : Occupation based reminiscence program was provided to two elderly women. Baseline(A) of 3 sessions, intervention(B) of 11 sessions, and baseline regression(A') of 3 sessions were performed. Korean Form of Geriatric Depression Scale (KGDS) for depression and Korean Resilience Quotient Test-53 (KRQ-53) for resilience were measured for subjective evaluation at the last session of each period. QECG-3 was measured for heart rate variability, at each session to investigate physiological depression and physiological resilience. The amount of change in each period of subjective depression and subjective resilience was investigated for the analysis of results, and physiological depression and physiological resilience were visually analyzed to confirm the average and ±2 standard deviation band results for each period. Results : Depression decreased in both subjective and physiological depression. Subjective resilience decreased in subject 1 and increased in subject 2, and physiological resilience increased in all subjects. Conclusion : Occupation based reminiscence program was effective for subjective depression, physiological depression, and physiological resilience for elderly in community. Through this, the group study that applied Occupation based reminiscence program to prevent of depression and increase of physiological resilience of elderly in community could be considered.
