Meta-analysis of the Effect of Art Therapy with the Elderly for Meta-analysis of the Effect of Art Therapy with the Elderly for Evidence-based Social Welfare Practice

본 연구는 2000년부터 2012년까지 한국 내에서 보고된 노인미술치료(Art therapy with the Elderly)의 효과성관련 개별연구들을 메타분석(Meta-analysis)방법을 사용하여 통합 분석한 것이다. 전체평균효과 크기는 2.47로 매우 높게 나타났고, 안정성계수 역시 높은 수준으로 분석되었다.. 첫째, 미술치료프로그램은 일반노인(ES=2.92))과 환자노인(ES=2.89) 모두에게 큰 효과를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 노인질환인 치매, 뇌졸중, 우울 등 3가지 유형으로 구분하여 평균효과크기의 분산분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 치매환자(ES=1.97)와 뇌졸중환자(ES=1.92)에 비해 우울환자(ES=5.48))에게 탁월한 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 치료영역별 변인에 따른 평균효과크기를 비교해본 결과, 노인미술치료프로그램은 정서영역(ES=3.50), 인지영역(ES=1.29), 감각 및 운동영역(ES=2.30), 심리사회영역(ES=2.67)등 4가지 치료영역에서 모두 0.80이상으로 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is an integrated analysis of individual researches associated with the efficacy of the Art therapy with the Elderly from year 2000 to 2012 through a meta-analysis method. The overall mean effect size was very high at 2.47, and the stability factor was also analyzed at a high level. First, after comparing the mean effect size by participants, it was analyzed that the Art Therapy Program had a considerable effect on both general elders (ES=2.92) and elderly patients (ES=2.89) despite there was no statistical difference between the groups. Second, three types of dementia, stroke, and depression, which are elderly diseases, were divided into three types, and the average effect size was analyzed. The results showed that patients with dementia (ES=1.97) and stroke (ES=5.48) had superior effects on depressed patients (ES=5.48). Third, comparing the average size of the effects according to the variables in the treatment area, the elderly art therapy program was found to have a significant effect of 0.80 in all four areas: emotional area (ES=3.50), cognitive area (ES=1.29), sensory and athletic area (ES=2.30), and psychological social area (ES=2.67).
