Objective : As the number of senior citizens increases rapidly, the incidence of safety accidents among senior citizens is also increasing. Education to prevent safety accidents is essential, but safety education for the elderly is insufficient. In addition, the board tools, including repetitive learning to improve the safety awareness of the elderly, will be developed as an application for non-face-to-face development in the social distance situation caused by the current COVID-19.
Methods : This study collected the opinions of one occupational therapist with more than five years of clinical experience and one professor of the department of occupational therapy from March to October 2020 and developed board tools and applications for improving the safety awareness of the elderly.
Results : The elderly safety education application is to solve problems in five categories (home safety, traffic safety, first aid safety, fire safety, fall safety) that are highly relevant to the elderly and require education, while repeatedly enhancing safety awareness and learning about areas that they did not know. The game mode consists of difficulty level, middle level, and low level, and the problem is that photography is used to enhance the understanding of the elderly. Answer and commentaries are provided after solving the problem and are configured for immediate feedback.
Conclusion : In this study, an application was developed to improve safety awareness through repetitive learning with immediate feedback. However, if they are linked to enable users to interact instead of playing games alone, they will be more interested.
