目的:グループホームに入居しているサルコペニアを有する認知症高齢者に対して,巻笛によるブローイングと中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリド(以下,MCT)摂取(12g/日)の介入条件(独立変数)による口腔機能(従属変数)への影響を明らかにすることである.方法:グループホームに入居しているサルコペニアを有する認知症高齢者を対象に,12週間のベースライン期間後,介入期間12週間を設けた.介入期間は,全員がMCTを摂取し,MCT群とMCT+巻笛群の2群にランダムに割り付けた.口腔機能(舌圧,音節交互反復運動,反復唾液嚥下テスト)はベースライン期間の前後,介入期間終了後の3回測定した.結果:MCT群の変化量とMCT+巻笛群の変化量を比較すると,舌圧で有意差を認めた(p<.049).結論:MCTと巻笛によるブローイングの併用により舌圧上昇の可能性が示唆された.
Purpose: The study aims to clarify effects of blowing exercise using a Party-horn and the one of criteria (independent variables) of nursing intervention in an intake of medium chain triglyceride (MCT) [12g per day] on oral functions of older people with dementia and sarcopenia living in a group home.
Methods: Aiming at older people with dementia and sarcopenia living in a group home, 12-weeks intervention period was set after 12-weeks baseline period. During the intervention period, all of them took MCT, and they were allocated to two groups: a group of MCT and one of MCT with blowing exercise using the Party-horn. Oral functions (tongue pressure, oral diadochokinesis, repetitive saliva swallowing test) were measured three times (before and after the baseline period and after the intervention period).
Results: Comparing the number of changes in the group of MCT and those in the group of MCT with the blowing exercise using the Party-horn, there was a significant difference in the tongue pressure (p<.049).
Conclusions: Consequently, it is suggested that combination therapy with the blowing exercise using the Party-horn may increase the tongue pressure.
