다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study targeted dementia relief centers in eight major areas (Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Gwangju, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Incheon, and Ulsan) that are conducting prevention and management of dementia. The purpose is to grasp the status of dance programs by institution. The research method was to analyze the subjects, frequency, and content of dance programs in eight major dementia support centers after acquiring papers, books, and periodicals related to the dementia elderly's dance program cases and current status studies. In addition, the data was analyzed through the contents of the dance program presented on the autonomous district website and telephone interviews with program managers. As a result, 76 of the dementia relief centers in the eight major regions did not conduct dance programs, and despite the results of studies showing that dance has various positive effects on the elderly with dementia, they showed inadequate on-site application rates. Also, the dance program targets were executed differently by region, which suggests that systematic program improvement is needed by subdividing the targets.
The frequency of the dance program operation should be extended to more than 2-3 times a week for effective dementia management, and long-term and continuous execution should be carried out. As for the contents of the dance program, silver gymnastics is more than a majority, so various programs should be developed.
