This study aimed to investigate the relationship between frailty and health care utilization in a cross-sectional design of a population-based sample of community-dwelling older adults. We used the data of 516 participants who dwell in Daejon, aged between 65 and 84 years old. Using K-frailty index, frailty status were measured and categorized as three groups: robust, prefrail, and frail. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine if frailty affects emergency department(ED) visit or hospitalization. In addition, negative binomial regression was used to examine the association between outpatient visits and frailty. Our results showed that the frail elderly increased the ED visit and the number of outpatient visit significantly after controlling for demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, the number of chronic diseases, and self-rated health status. Considering that frailty is an important independent factor affecting health care utilization, more attention is required to prevent the frailty in our health care system.

현대인들이 가장 많이 걸리는 질병 중의 하나가 위장질환이다. 그중에서도 위암은 우리나라 사망원인 중에서 1ㆍ2위를 다투는 질환 중의 하나이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이 위암의 조기발견을 위한 건강검진에는 대부분의 사람들이 아주 인색(?)한 편이고 생활형편이 어려운 생활보호대상자에게는 건강검사란 어떤 면에서는 그림의 "떡"이기도 하다. 이번에 대전직할시가 시민건강증진을 위해 3억 6천여만원이라는 과감한 예산을 투자해 마련한 위암 이동검진버스는 바로 이와같은 사람들에게 위암의 조기발견을 위한 검진, 그것도 무료 순회검진의 기회를 주게 되었다는 측면에서 아주 의의가 크다고 할 수 있다. 앞으로 건협 대전ㆍ충남지부가 맡아서 순회ㆍ건진을 실시하게 된 이 버스의 운행 발대식과 검진 현장을 둘러봤다.

This paper develops the argument that the 'Healthy Cities Approach' extends beyond the boundaries of officially designated Healthy Cities and suggests that signs of it are evident much more widely in efforts to promote health in the United Kingdom and in national policy. It draws on examples from Leeds, a major city in the north of England. In particular, it suggests that efforts to improve population health need to focus on the wider determinants and that this requires a collaborative response involving a range of different sectors and the participation of the community. Inequality is recognised as a major issue and the need to identify areas of deprivation and direct resources towards these is emphasised. Childhood poverty is referred to and the importance of breaking cycles of deprivation. The role of the school is seen as important in contributing to health generally and the compatibility between Healthy Cities and Health Promoting Schools is noted. Not only can Health Promoting Schools improve the health of young people themselves they can also develop the skills, awareness and motivation to improve the health of the community. Using child pedestrian injury as an example, the paper argues that problems and their cause should not be conceived narrowly. The Healthy Cities movement has taught us that the response, if it is to be effective, should focus on the wider determinants and be adapted to local circumstances. Instead of simply attempting to change behaviour through traditional health education we need to ensure that the environment is healthy in itself and supports healthy behaviour. To achieve this we need to develop awareness, skills and motivation among policy makers, professionals and the community. The 'New Health' education is proposed as a term to distinguish the type of health education which addresses these issues from more traditional forms.

Health care services in a residential area would accelerate the aging in place. In addition, these changes would play a key role in terms of reducing healthcare costs and leading a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this study draws the design methodology of community facilities and each dwelling with healthcare services in apartment complex, which the elderly people will enjoy a better health status. This paper presents the result focused on the welfare building in Gayang 7th apartment complex. The intention to receive healthcare services was investigated by occupants. Moreover, design requirements were drawn through in-depth interviews and the state observation to use the service. In the complex, stronger intention to serve the u-Healthcare services was shown to the pre elderly group than the elderly. Both of them had a problem to use and keep the health equipment due to the fact there is not enough space in the unit. Reporting the observation results, the upright-posture furniture attaching the healthcare equipment and the equipment storage should be prepared in the unit. In the public space, the program for these healthcare services can be divided into three parts, i.e. the health status measurement, the healthcare, and the service connected to the surrounding facilities. The health status measurement can be the basic to the health services and its function should be gradually extended. In the complex, the hybrid type with various functions could be applied owing to a new building for welfare; moreover, semi-independent user should be able to receive the home healthcare service.

. 최근 인구구조의 변화는 급속한 노령화로 요약되고, 이에 따라 제기되는 각종 노인문제는 각 부문별로 정책적 대응을 필요로 하고 있음. . 우리나라는 세계적으로 유래를 찾아볼 수 없을 정도의 속도로 노인인구가 급속하게 증가하는 가운데, 전통적으로 가족을 중심으로 하는 사적 영역에서 담당해오던 노인 부양기능이 약화되고 있으며, 낮은 출산율로 인해 청장년층의 노인부양 부담이 점차 더욱 커질 것으로 전망됨. - 특히 노년기의 보건학적 특성으로 인하여 보건 분야의 주요 현안들을 야기하고 있는데, 노인인구는 보건의료서비스에 대한 수요가 높은 집단으로 1인당 보건의료비용 또한 가장 높은 집단일 뿐만 아니라, 노인의 건강문제는 보건의료서비스 이외에 건강문제로 파생되는 다양한 사회적 서비스와 연계되어 있음. - ­이러한 사실은 한편으로는 우리 사회가 향후 노인의 건강문제로 인해 발생하는 높은 비용과 부담을 지게 될 것이라는 사실을 의미함과 동시에 다른 한편으로는 이에 대한 대책을 시급히 마련해야 한다는 것을 의미함.

현재 사회는 건강에 대한 관심이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 전문적인 건강관리 서비스를 받기 위해서 사용자의 상태 및 상황을 정확히 알 수 있도록 사용자 행위인지 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 행위인지 연구에서 사용하는 각종 웨어러블 센서는 일상생활의 불편 및 비용 문제를 야기하여, 본 연구에서는 센서 디바이스로 스마트폰을 사용한다. 기존의 행위인지 연구는 특정 실험군 이외의 제3자에 의한 실험에서는 정확도에 큰 차이를 보이며, 인지 오류에 대한 실시간 수정이 불가능하였다. 본 논문에서는 프롬프트 방식을 통해 실시간으로 사용자의 인지 오류를 피드백하고, 클라우드 시스템에서 실시간으로 재트레이닝을 통한 수정된 행위 모델을 생성하여 지속적으로 행위의 오류를 줄이며, 각각의 사용자에 맞는 건강관련 서비스를 추천하는 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate of mental health professionals regarding job burnout, emotional labor and mental health by verifying the moderating effect of resilience. Results from analyzing 1,020 mental health professionals(certified people with 1st, 2nd grade licence in nursing, social welfare, and psychology) collected in the academic service studies by the National Mental Health Education Research Center in 2014 showed that job burnouts and emotional labor both had negative correlation with mental health, but in cases of analyzing moderating effects in resilience, only job burnout presented significant results. Accordingly, the results indicated that resilience could buffer the danger of mental health of mental health workers from job burnouts and emotional laboring. This study shows that it is important to care about the mental health of not only the people who receive mental health care services, but also the mental health care professionals who provide services. It also shows that the research has to be conducted with convergence considering both sides. Measures regarding the mental health care of mental health professionals were further discussed based on the results of this study.

The Korean Government has produced the Health Plan 2010 aimed at setting up healthy Korea objectives, policies on preventing chronic diseases, reshaping the country's health and medical infrastructure. The policy goal targets the people's healthy life expectancy at 75 by 2010, and includes healthy life practice measures including health education, health improvement services, and disease management measures, in achieving the objectives. Also, the plan provides life cycle-based health improvement and disease prevention services, as well as pushes ahead with projects with greater ripple effects in each area. To this end, the government is simultaneously pushing to operate an experts-centered health promotion committee and establishing the infrastructure including the augmentation of national health improvement funds. Through its Health Plan 20 I 0, the Korean Government will exert efforts to achieve its policy objectives as addressed in the measures by enhancing the national potential health and providing systematic disease prevention services.
