목적 : 본 연구는 치매 환자들에게 적용할 수 있는 디지털 매체를 활용한 회상치료의 중재 방법과 효과를 제시하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구에서는 Google Scholar, Pubmed에서 제공되는 연구논문들 중 2012월 1월 부터 2021년 12월 까지 발표된 자료를 수집하였다. 포함 및 배제기준을 적용하여 6개의 논문이 분석대상으로 사용되었다. 이 연구들은 연구의 근거기반 질적 수준 분석모델에 따라 분류하였고 PICO로 정리하였다. 검색어는 “치매” AND “회상치료”, “dementia” AND “reminiscence therapy” AND “media” OR “digital” OR “app”로 사용하였다. 결과 : 디지털 회상치료에 대한 연구는 2015년, 2016년, 2020년은 각각 1편, 2021년은 3편, 총 6편으로 이루어져 있으 며, 태블릿을 활용한 회상치료, 디지털 소프트웨어를 활용한 회상치료, 디지털 동영상을 활용한 회상치료, VR기기를 활 용한 회상치료 등 다양한 매체를 활용하여 중재에 적용하였다. 디지털 회상치료를 적용하였을 때, 우울 감소, 삶의 질, 인지기능 향상의 효과가 가장 많았으며 평가도구는 MMSE(Mini-Mental State Examination)가 가장 많이 사용된 것 을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론 : 디지털 매체를 활용한 회상치료의 중재 방법과 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 태블릿을 활용한 회상치료, 디지털 소프 트웨어를 활용한 회상치료 등이 있었으며 우울 감소, 삶의 질 향상 등의 효과가 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 추후 연구에서는 디지털 매체를 활용한 회상치료 간의 비교를 통해 어떠한 디지털 매체가 회상치료에 적용되었을 때 더 효과 가 있는지 비교연구가 활발히 이루어지기를 기대한다.

The majority of silence research has been limited in a negative perspective in which silence was stigmatized as passive non-behavior or counterproductive behavior in the organization. The present study proposed a broader and balanced approach of silence as a way of active communication in daily communication and investigated its social functions. The Eighty college students completed an open-ended questionnaire asking context cues, the reasons, and the consequence of intentional silence in daily life. The reasons and consequence were categorized to extract their structural factors. Eleven factors of silence reasons were abstracted: “partner caring”, “conflict avoidance”, “thinking arrangement”, “dissatisfaction”, “discomfort”, “embarrassed”, “annoyingness”, “misunderstanding”, “no-idea”, “uninterestedness”, and “ignorance”. The silence consequence data revealed 11 factors such as “turning topic”, “understanding and accepting silence”, “apologizing”, “partner's efforts of resuming communication”, “escaping discord”, “continuation of partner's unilateral speaking”, “misunderstanding”, “partner–embarrassed”, “awkwardness”, “stop communicating”, and “nothing happened”. Furthermore, the analyses on frequencies of silence reasons by partner's gender or relational attribute(vertical vs. horizontal) showed the patterns that have been consistently found in verbal communication literature. The findings suggest that silence is not meaningless inaction but active and goal-driven communication. Its functional implications in cultural contexts were discussed.

This study was performed to assess particulate matter removal efficiency of domestic air cleaner products in a field condition. The assessment also included air cleaners with different air removal mechanisms. The particulate matter (PM2.5) removal test with a different air removal mechanism using air cleaners showed that the electrostatic precipitation technique showed better performance compared with HEPA filters and other types of systems. Its removal efficiency was almost 95% in one of our operation times in the given test condition. It was assumed that not only the type of removal system but also the individual design, supply and exhaust system, and the automatically controlled air volume are involved in the removal efficiency. With respect to the area of application, tests with air cleaners for 40 m2, 60 m2, and 80 m2 areas revealed that particulate matter removal efficiency increased with the air cleaner that had a broad area of application. However, particulate matter removal efficiency by air cleaners did not correspondingly increase with the increase of the area of application. Moreover, the installation location did not influence particulate matter removal efficiency. Our results are expected to be used as the basic information for indoor air quality improvement and prediction using air cleaners.
