The purpose of this study is to administer health promotion programs and to improve quality of life for the elderly.
Methods: Data were collected from May 20, to June 10, 2014. The participants were 157 elderly persons with mild cognitive injury (MCI), who had under 23 points on MoCa-K from three different senior welfare centers in Daejeon. The uestionnaires were conducted by four university students after receiving instruction from the researcher and consisted of general characteristics, cognitive function, depression and quality of life. SPSS WIN 19.0 program was used for data analysis.
Results: Cognitive function showed positive correlation with quality of life (r=175, p=.028). IADL did not show correlation with quality of life (r=-.005, p=.947). However cognitive function(r=-.344, p<.001) and depression (r=-.623, p<.001) showed negative correlation with quality of life. In addition, the factors impacting quality of life were cognitive function (β=.14, p=.29) and depression (β=-.61, p<.001) which accounted for 39% of quality of life.
Conclusion: These findings showed that the participants had depression and their cognitive function was low. As a result, the more participants’ cognitive function decreased, the more their quality of life decreased. In addition, the more their
depression decreased, the more their quality of life improved.
