이 연구의 목적은 한국 무용 동작을 응용한 스텝운동이 노인의 낙상 효능감과 균형 자신감에 미치는 영향을 실증하는 것이었다. 65세 이상의 여성 노인들을 대상으로 한국 무용 동작에 기반을 둔 리드믹 스텝운동집단(23명)과 통제집단(15명)에 무선 할당하였다. 운동중재집단이 노인들은 9주 동안 주당평균 2.67회씩 총 24회의 스텝운동에 참여하였으며, 운동중재 프로그램에 참여하기 전과 후에 낙상효능감과 균형 자신감을 측정하였다. 통계분석결과, 한국 무용 동작에 기반을 둔 스텝운동 중재프로그램에 참여한 노인들이 통제집단의 노인보다 낙상 효능감과 균형 자신감에서 더 높은 점수를 기록하였다. 한편, 낙상 효능감과 균형 자신감은 정적 상관관계를 나타냈는데, 운동중재집단의 사후측정에서두 변수의 상관관계가 약화되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 한국 무용에 기반을 둔 스텝운동 중재프로그램이 노인의 낙상 효능감과 균형 자신감 증진 모두에 효과적이었다는 것을 의미하며, 추후 연구에서는 노인의 낙상 예방을 위한 운동중재 프로그램의 효과를 평가할 수 있는 최적의 척도를 확인하려는 시도가 필요하다.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Korea traditional dance-based step exercise on fall efficacy and balance confidence in the elderly. The subjects were 38 elderly women, who random assigned in one of Korea traditional dance-based stepping(23) and control group(15). The participants of intervention programs did exercise 20-30 minute per day, 2-3 trials per a week, during 9 weeks. They responded to Fall Efficacy Scale(FES) and Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale(ABC) before and after completing exercise intervention. Collected data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA with repeated measure on the test and Pearson correlations through SPSS 17.0 version. The results were as follows. First, the post-test score of fall efficacy had higher than pre-test score in the group of Korea traditional dance-based stepping. However, the score of pre-test was similar to that of post-test in the control group. Second, the post-test score of balance confidence had higher than pre-test score in the exercise intervention group of Korea traditional dance-based stepping. But, the score of pre-test was similar to that of post-test in the control group. Finally, there was significant positive correlations between fall efficacy and balance confidence. Especially, correlations coefficient of post-test had lower than that of pre-test in the intervention group. On the other hand, correlations coefficient of pre-test and post-test was relatively stable in the control group. In Total, these results means that Korea traditional dance-based step exercise is a effective intervention program in terms of enhancing fall efficacy and balance confidence in the elderly.
