본 연구의 목적은 저소득층 노인의 우울증 및 스트레스 해소를 위한 원예치료프로그램 효과를 검증하고, 아울러 경제적 상실감을 겪는 우울증 노인들이 원예치료에 만족하는가를 검증하는데 있다. 원예치료프로그램의 실험기간은 2015년 10월 5일부터 2016년 2월 15일까지 주 1회씩 20회기에 걸쳐 실시하였으며, 연구대상으로는 JN도 M시에 위치한 종합사회복지관의 노인교실에서 교육 중인 노인들 중 우울증을 겪고 있는 실험대상 8명을 선정하였다. 수집된 자료의 통계처리는 SPSS(Statistical Package for Social Science) v.15.0 통계패키지프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 원예활동을 통한 원예치료프로그램이 다음과 같이 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 첫째, 다양한 원예치료프로그램이 저소득층 노인의 우울증과 스트레스 해소에 긍정적 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 원예치료가 경제적 상실감을 겪는 저소득층 노인의 우울증 치료에 만족감을 주었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 앞으로 원예치료가 저소득층 노인의 우울증 해소 및 스트레스 해소에서 충분히 활용될 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. 그리고 향후 다양한 원예치료프로그램의 개발과 더불어 단기성 프로그램으로 그치지 말고 장기적 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 지속적인 접근이 필요하다고 사료된다.
