본 연구의 목적은 초기 치매의심노인을 위한 통합적 노인놀이치료 프로그램을 개발하고 이의 효과성을 평가함에 있다. 통합적 노인놀이치료 프로그램은 개별프로그램이 갖는 한계를 극복하기 위해 다양한 프로그램을 통합적으로 구성하여 이루어졌으며, 프로그램은 노인놀이치료과정을 수료한 노인놀이치료사가 발간된 매뉴얼에 따라 진행하였다. 연구대상자는 서울시 소재의 데이케어센터와 요양원 등에서 재가서비스를 받고 있는 65세 이상의 초기 치매의심노인 55명이었다. 자료수집은 노인놀이치료사가 2014년 12월부터 2015년 3월까지 사전과 사후로 나누어 설문지를 배포하고 수거하여 이루어졌다. 연구결과 조사대상자들의 우울정도와 인지기능 강화에 유의미한 개선을 보인 것으로 나타나 통합적 노인놀이치료프로그램은 노인에게 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 관계측면에서는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났지 않았다. 향후 초기 치매의심노인을 위한 프로그램과 관련된 논의를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
