We established the PICO-SD, reviewed 1761studies from database of RISS, NDSL, DBpia, National Assembly Library, KoreaMed, KMbase, KSI KISS, KCI, and finally selected 18 studies based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. With regard to research places were elderly care center, seniors welfare center etc and intervention periods ranged from 4 to 30 weeks.
