노인건강증진을 위한 무용프로그램 현황 연구

Abstract

최근 과학과 의학기술 발달에 따른 평균수명의 연장으로 노인들은 신체활동을 통하여 자신들의 건강을 유지하는 것뿐만 아니라 가족과의 유대관계 또는 적극적인 사회참여에 대한 관심이 증대되어가고 있다. 이러한 노인들의 삶의 질을 향상시키고 노화과정에서 나타나는 질병을 예방하고 관리하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 활발한 신체활동이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 이 연구는 수도권 중심으로 노인복지시설에서 이루어지고 있는 노인 건강과 관련된 무용프로그램의 현황을 조사하여 노인무용 활동의 활성화를 위한 이론적 근거를 제시하고자 한다. 또한 무용 활동을 통한 노인의 건강과 여가선용에 대하여 노인여가, 노인무용관련 자료를 수집하여 연구하였다.

이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인 대상으로 무용프로그램 실시하고 있는 기관으로는 노인종합복지관, 노인복지센터, 노인학교, 경로당 등이다. 둘째, 노인무용프로그램과 관련한 사업으로는 사회교육부분이 가장 활성화되고 있었으며 그 외에도 노인여가, 경로당활성화, 노인취업, 알선, 건강증진 사업 등이다. 셋째, 서울지역과 경기지역의 각 기관에서 실시하고 있는 노인무용프로그램 중 가장 선호도가 높은 것은 댄스스포츠, 요가, 에어로빅, 벨리댄스 순으로 나타났으며 그 외에도 여러 가지 다양한 프로그램들이 운영되어지고 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 무용프로그램이 노인의 신체적, 심리적, 사회적으로 긍정적인 효과를 얻을 수 있으며 노인들의 여가 생활을 즐길 수 있는 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다는 보고와 관련하여 노인들에게 무용교육을 인식시키고 교육함으로서 긍정적인 사고와 심리적인 안정감을 갖게 되고 보다 생활에 활력을 줄 수 있는 다양한 프로그램들을 개발하여 보급되어지길 기대하는 바이다.| Through the prolongation of the average life span according to the recent advancement of medical and science technology, the elderlies have begun to have a increasing interest in maintaining their health through physical activity and in addition, family relationships and social activity.
