초록

This study developed a 54 item questionnaire across 10 factors in 4 domains, based on literature reviews and expert surveys, to evaluatethe effectiveness of forest healing programs. Data were gathered from 300 elderly people in normal, mild cognitive impairment(MCI), and dementia groups to assess reliability and validity. Internal consistency reliability was high (α=0.961), and test-retest reliability was significant with MCIgroup. Validity was assessed through convergent and construct validity. Convergent validity was significant through the correlations between questionnaire scores and the K-MMSE, GDS-30, BAI, and an instrument to measure the health status to elderly. Confirmatory factor analysis verified the 10 factor structure, ensuring construct validity. Group analysis showed significant score differences among normal, MCI, and dementiagroups. In conclusion, this questionnaire is effective for screening MCI and dementia and evaluating forest healing program effectiveness.
