본 연구는 푸드표현활동 프로그램이 노인의 주관적 기억력, 우울, 자기표현에 미치는 효과를 파악하기 위한 단일집단 사전사후 원시실험연구이다. 연구방법은 S시에 위치한 2곳의 경로당 이용 노인 대상자 36명이 참여하였으며, 2020년 1월 8일부터 2월 17일까지 총 6회기 프로그램을 시행하였다. 프로그램 전후에 주관적 기억감퇴, 우울, 자기표현의 변화를 설문지로 조사하였다. 중재 프로그램은 신체적 이완활동, 인지활동 및 다양한 ‘푸드’를 이용하여 손의 움직임과 자기표현을 할 수 있게 구성하였다. 연구결과, 푸드표현활동 프로그램은 대상자의 주관적 기억력(t=2.67, p=.011), 우울(t=3.88, p<.001), 자기표현(t=2.09, p=.044)을 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 푸드표현활동 프로그램은 경로당 이용 노인의 우울 감소와 기억력 및 자기표현을 향상을 위한 간호중재로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this age of information ruled by new technologies and knowledge, the world is interconnected as a single community, and within this trend of globalization, new cultural codes are emerging through temporal fusion between the past and the present and spatial fusion between different regions and countries. In this situation, it seems meaningful to review Korean fusion foods and restaurants serving such foods, as well as to consider their future directions. Thus, the objective of the present study was to survey and analyze Korean fusion restaurants representing Korean culture not only in Korea, but also in foreign cities, and to identify the expression characteristics of such restaurants. Based on restaurants recommended in relevant magazines and on Internet sites, 18 spaces were selected, visited, and surveyed, in which tradition and modernism were well-mixed. Data on the shapes, materials, colors, and patterns of spatial elements and food-related elements, including photographs, were collected and analyzed. The results are as follows. Of the 18 restaurants, 13 (72%) showed temporal fusion in both spatial and food-related elements, 4 showed temporal fusion in spatial elements and cultural fusion in food-related elements, and 1 showed cultural fusion in both spatial and food-related elements. In general, the spaces were mainly designed with modern elements and partially with traditional elements (ceilings, windows, furniture, articles), and the fusion of food-related elements was made in diverse forms that included temporal fusion restructuring traditional menus contemporarily, and cultural fusion harmonizing traditional food with Western cookery.
