Objective : The purpose of this study was to analyze group programs for the elderly living in communities and to provide basic data for applying effective occupational therapy programs for the elderly in the community.
Methods : From January 2009 to December 2019, articles on group programs for the elderly in the community were searched for in the NDSL, DBPia, Riss, and PubMed databases. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total 16 out of the 147 identified studies were selected and analyzed. This review analyzed the characteristics of the participants, contents of the group program, session and duration of the intervention, outcome measures, and effect of the group program.
Results : Single group pre-post test studies with evidence level III were most common (8, 50.0%), and five (31.3%) of the studies were conducted on the community-dwelling elderly. Across all the 16 studies, there were 10 types of group programs, and the most frequently used was an exercise group program (25.0%). According to the analysis of the group program period, sessions and time, the intervention period was most commonly 12 weeks (37.5%), with 8 sessions or 12 sessions (25.0%). The intervention time in the group program was most commonly 60 minutes (43.8%).
Conclusion : This study can be used as a basis for the development of effective group programs for the elderly and patients with dementia in community-based long-term care services.
