The Purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of hearing impairment on HRQOL in Korean elders. We carry out a cross-sectional analysis using nationally representative data from the KNHANES, 2016-2018. The survey was conducted on 4,754 elders who responded to questions about hearing impairment. Quality of life was compared between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment using the t-test and chi-square test, and factors related to quality of life were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression using SPSS version 22.0. There was significant difference in quality of life between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment. Walking exercise were identified as factors related to quality of life in elders with hearing impairment, while marriage status, walking exercise and limited movement were found to be related to quality of life among elders with no hearing impairment. In order to improve the HRQOL of elders with hearing impairment, multidisciplinary efforts and development of educational programs are required.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate perceptions of mental health literacy and mental health services of local public officials in Korea. The participants were 273 civil servants working in three Gangwondo provinces. Data were collected from July 1, 2018 to August 15, 2018 using structured questionnaires, and SPSS Ver. 22.0 was used for data analysis. Results showed mental health literacy of public officials was 101.45 points (range 35-160). Mental health literacy level was found to be significantly dependent on occupation and levels of mental health education, mental health treatment experience, and family mental health treatment experience. Only 39.9% of respondents stated they were aware of mental health welfare centers. The most common condition that caused respondents to seek mental health services was depression (35.9%). In addition, 44.7% of the respondents opined that mental health care was improving due to community changes. An analysis of the relationship between perceptions of mental health welfare centers and mental health literacy scores showed a positive relationship between participant prior knowledge about mental health welfare centers and investment in mental health management (p=.012), suggesting a need for further development of educational programs using mental health nurses to improve mental health literacy among community officials.

This study investigated the effects of meaning of life and depression on the health-promoting behaviors of community-dwelling elderly people, as well as the effects of community programs on their depression, meaning of life, and health-promoting behaviors. Collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, paired t-test through SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The demographic characteristics, depression, meaning of life, and health-promoting behaviors of the participants were analyzed using descriptive statistics that calculated real numbers and percentages. The participating in community programs resulted in a decrease in depression(t=2.379, p=.010) and significant increase in meaning of life(t=2.421, p=.009) and health-promoting behaviors(t=2.316, p=.012) and recognized the importance of community role for healthy old age. Based on this, we propose active participation of the community for the health of elderly people and development of programs suitable for the subjects.

농작업 활동시 건강유해요인 증가에 따라 농부증 및 농업인의 직업성 질환 유병률은 증가하는 실정이므로, 장기추적연구를 통한 실태분석 및 원인구명이 필요한 실정이다. 그 일환으로 본 연구에서는 농업인의 건강수준 평가를 위한 건강검진 항목 선정 및 측정방법 표준화, 농업인 건강 및 농작업 관련 행태조사를 위한 설문지를 개발하여 농업인 건강 및 작업수준을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 국내 농업인의 성별 연령대별 건강관리행태를 조사하기 위하여 2006년 5월부터 4개월간 18개 지역 남자농업인 550명(44.6%)과 여자농업인 683명(55.4%) 총 1,233명을 대상으로 직접면접조사를 실시하였다. 연령대는 50세이하, 51~60세, 61~70세, 71세 이상 4그룹으로 나누어 조사하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 농업인의 체지량지수(BMI)는 남성의 경우 연령대가 높아질수록 점차 낮아지는 경향을(p<.001), 여성의 경우는 다른 그룹에 비해 70세 이상 그룹이 가장 낮게 나타났다(p<.05). 2. 대상 농업인들의 주작물을 조사한 결과 시설작목과 특용작물의 경우 남성은 50대, 여성은 40대 그룹이 가장 많은 것을 제외하고 대부분의 작목은 60대 그룹이 가장 많았다. 3. 지난 1년간 의료기관 방문 횟수와 의료비를 조사한 결과 남성(p<.001)과 여성(p<.001) 모두 연령대가 높을수록 점차 증가하는 것으로 조사되었다. 4. 규칙적인 운동시행여부를 조사한 결과 여성은 연령대와 운동여부간에 유의한 관련이 있는 것으로(p<.001), 남성은 유의한 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 농부증정도(농부증 없음. 의증. 양성)를 조사한 결과 남성(p<.01)과 여성(p<.001) 모두 연령대와 농부증간에는 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과들을 바탕으로 농작업 재해 실태 파악과 원인구명을 위한 작업개선방안 제시하고, 예방할 수 있는 대책을 수립함에 있어서 국내 농업인의 작업부담을 경감시키고 건강수준을 증대시키기 위한 방안들이 모색되어야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was designed to develop an questionnaire for healthy aging. The subjects of this study were total 335 people who participated in regular exercise and went to welfare centers in Seoul. The validity and reliability were tested for verifying the developed questionnaire for healthy aging. The data were collected between June 12, 2006 and October 27, 2006. The mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness, reliability, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor were analyzed for statistical purpose using by SPSS-Win 12.0 program. The results were as follows; First, to obtain content validity, the results of previous research and the value system responses were submitted to a judgement group. Second, the results of the factor analysis of the 20 items making up the questionnaire were classified into the following 3 factors; physiological health(6 items), cognitive-mental health(6 items), social-support health(8 items). Third, the reliability of the questionnaire for healthy aging was 0.891(Cronbach's alpha). In the factor analysis Cronbach's alpha correlations for the 4 factors ranged from 0.642 to 0.885. Fourth, the results of confirmatory factor analysis, all the index values(NFI, RFI, CFI, Delta 2 IFI) were close to 1. Thus, this questionnaire demonstrated good reliability and validity and therefore it was an appropriate measurement of healthy aging.
