본 연구는 공동생활시설에서 거주하는 지적장애인을 대상으로 원예치료가 자아존중감 및 작업태도에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 원예치료대상자는 제주시 용담동 J시설에 거주하는 지적 장애인 대조구 8명, 실험군 8명이었다. 원예치료 프로그램은 2009년 3월부터 2009년 7월 중순까지 주 1회 2시간씩 총 20회 실시하였다. 자아존중감 평가 결과 대조군의 경우 실험 전 13.25점에서 실험 후 13.12점으로 0.13점 감소하였다. 실험군의 경우 대조구와는 반대로 실험 전 12.25점에서 실험 후 14.87점으로 2.62점이 증가하였으며 P<0.05 수준에서 유의하게 향상되었다. 원예활동 평가 결과 참여성, 관심 및 조력성, 언어소통 능력, 자아개념 및 주체성, 욕구 ･ 충동적 적응력, 대인관계 능력, 인지 및 문제해결 능력, 운동지각능력이 통계적으로 고도로 유의하게(P<0.01) 향상되었다. 숙련도와 직업 적응력의 경우 P<0.05 수준에서 유의하게 향상되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 원예치료 프로그램이 공동 생활시설 내 지적 장애인들의 자아존중감 및 작업태도 향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

We described the associated variation in site index of Pinus densiflora for. erecta in responses to site variables of soil properties. Additionally, this study was conducted to estimate site index in unstocked land by the physico-chemical properties derived from stocked forest soil and to investigate the effects of the physico-chemical properties by soil layers on site index of surveyed area, totally 77 sites in central Korea. At each site, there were surveyed 14 items of the physico-chemical properties, namely, content of sand, silt and clay, soil pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, available P2O5, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable K+, Na+, Ca++, Mg++, and base saturation. The multiple regression equations using stepwise regression method were applied to this study. In the degree of contribution of the variables to site index by soil horizons, the highly effective variables were Base Sat., Exch. Ca++, T.N., Exch. Mg++, and C.E.C. in A horizon and Base Sat., Exch. Mg++, C.E.C., Soil pH, and O.M. in B horizon of P. densiflora for. erecta stands. As a result, it was concluded that the regressive prediction induced by significant soil site factors by forest soil horizons had useful guidance for finding out the best suitable area especially in unstocked land and further more for establishing successful stands of this species.

This study was conducted to study the effect of horticultural therapy on the self-esteem of geriatric patients. This study was divided into two experiment. The first experiment is the effect of horticultural therapy on self-esteem depression and of the long term in geriatric patients. The subject participated in this program were 15 geriatric patients attending to Bando hospital located in Jinju. They took part in 20 horticultural therapy programs by twice a week. To investigate the effect of horticultural therapy on self-esteem scale, GDS(Geriatric depression scale), MBI(Modified barthel index), EHA(Evaluation of horticultural activity). Horticultural terapy self-esteem enhanced MBI, EHA increased and the GDS decreased gradually. The second experiment is the effect of horticultural therapy doing together with music therapy on the changes of depression and self-esteem in geriatric patients. The subjects participated in this program were 20 geriatric patients attending to Bando hospital located in Jinju. The treatments were applied on four group, group A : horticultural therapy doing together with music therapy, group B : horticultural therapy, group C : music therapy, group D : non-treatment. They took part in 20 horticultural therapy programs by twice a week and music therapy programs one time per a week. To investigate the effect of horticultural therapy on Self-esteem scale, GDS, EHA. According to the results, treatments was effectiness on group A, B and C in self-esteem scale, GDS and EHA, but not on group D.
