Purpose: This study examined the socio-demographic and health factors affecting the quit-smoking plan in smoking seniors. Methods: Data were obtained from the Seventh Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (VII-1, VII-2, VII-3). The sample consisted of 369 smoking seniors. The complex sample was analyzed thought an independent t-test, Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression. Results: The influential factors on the quit-smoking plan were daily smoking (OR=0.30, CI=0.11-0.78), age of start smoking (OR=1.06, CI=1.01-1.11), daily smoking amount (OR=0.95, CI=0.90-1.00), quit-smoking trial (OR=2.63, CI=1.32-5.23), and cognitive stress (OR=2.13, CI=1.01-4.54). Conclusion: This study revealed the variables that should be considered when setting up a smoking cessation plan for smoking seniors. Based on this, an elderly cessation intervention program can be developed.

Purpose: This research is to understand the effects of senior simulation on employees of elderly care facilities and utilize it in their job training. Methods: This research is a nonequivalence control group pre-to-post quasiexperiment research. 18 employees who have experienced senior simulation are set as test group and 18 other employees who have not experienced senior simulation are set as control group. Results: The hypothesis that 'the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in their attitude on elderly care, compared to the control group' and 'the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in understanding of elders, compared to the control group' was supported. The hypothesis that 'the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in job satisfaction and performance of duties, compared to the control group' was dismissed. Conclusion: The senior simulation seems to contribute to elderly care facilities employees' change in their viewpoints of elders and broaden their understanding of them. The senior simulation was meaningful to provide basic help with implementing job training programs.

본 연구는 '2017년도 노인 실태조사'에 응답한 65세 이상 노인 8,942명을 대상으로 ICT를 활용한 자녀·손자녀 접촉빈도, 디지털 리터러시 등의 특성이 인지기능에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 이차자료 분석 연구로, 다중 회귀분석을 활용하였다. 연구 결과 노인의 인지기능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 디지털 리터러시로 나타났다. 또한 ICT를 활용한 손자녀와의 접촉빈도는 디지털 리터러시 및 인지기능과 유의한 상관관계가 있으며 인지기능에 긍정적 영향을 주는 요인임이 새롭게 밝혀졌다. 이를 토대로 노인을 대상으로 한 정보화 교육 및 활용의 중요성과 이를 통한 세대 간 의사소통 활성화의 필요성에 대해 논의하였다.

본 연구는 노인요양시설에 거주하는 노인의 시설 입소초기(3개월)의 생생한 경험을 토대로 입소노인들이 겪는 어려움을 파악하여, 시설운영자들이 입소노인들의 입소초기 삶의 질과 연관된 요인들을 이해하는 근거자료로 이용될 수 있도록 하고, 입소초기에 입소노인들이 겪는 심리사회적 문제에 효과적으로 개입, 중재할 수 있는 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하기 위해 수행되었다. Patton에 의한 주제분석 방법을 적용한 질적 연구방법을 적용하였고 6명의 입소초기 노인들과의 다면적 심층 면담을 통하여 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 입소과정 및 입소초기의 경험으로 자발적인 입소결정, 가족의 강권에 따른 입소결정, 자율성의 제한, 개별성의 결여, 입소 전 후의 생활 연계성의 단절, 관계형성의 제한, 미래자아상에 대한 부정적 예견 등의 중심주제가 도출되었다. 시설입소에 대한 노인들의 초기반응에 영향을 주는 근본적인 조건은 독립성과 자율성이었으며 이러한 것들은 입소와 관련된 의사결정 과정 뿐 만 아니라 입소 이후의 적응에도 많은 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이로부터 노인들에게 입소 후의 생활에서의 자율성을 비롯하여 일상 활동에 대한 선택의 기회를 부여하고, 입소노인의 안전을 위협하지 않는 한 스스로 할 수 있는 일은 직접 수행하게 함으로써 자신의 삶이 독립적이라 생각할 수 있도록 환경을 조성해주는 것이 입소시설에 대한 적응도를 향상시킬 것으로 생각된다. 또한 신체적, 인지적 기능이 비슷한 노인들 간의 활발한 사회적 교류를 통해 새로운 대인관계를 형성하여, 삶의 재편성(reorganization)과 안정화(stabilization)가 일어날 수 있도록 돕는 것이 필요하다고 본다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the economic efficiency of a community-based nursing care center to help policy makers determine whether or not to invest in similar facilities. Methods: The subjects were 101 elderly people over 65 years who participated in a health management program from February 1 to July 31, 2007. Direct cost was estimated with center operations cost, medical cost for out-patients and pharmacy cost. Indirect cost was measured by transportation cost. Direct benefit was calculated by saved medical cost for out-patients, saved pharmacy cost, saved transportation cost, and reducing hospital charges. Indirect benefit was estimated with prevention of severe complications. Economic efficiency was evaluated by cost-benefit ratio and net benefit. Results: Operating a community-based nursing care center was found to be cost-effective. Specifically, the cost of operating the center evaluated here was estimated at 135 million won while the benefit was estimated at 187 million won. Benefit-cost ratio was 1.38. Conclusion: The Community-based nursing care center that was described here could be a useful health care delivery system for reducing medical expenditures.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationships of self-esteem, health status and self-care, and compare them between the rural and urban elderly. Method: The subjects were 126 persons with age over 65: rural(69 persons) and urban(57 persons). The data was collected from 1st Sep to 10th Oct, 2004 by questionnaires, and was analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Least Significant Difference and Pearson's correlation coefficient in the SPSS-Win 10.0. Results: The level of self-esteem, health status and self-care of the elderly in rural were lower than those of the elderly in urban. The higher group self-esteem in the rural elderly shows more health status and self-care than the lower group. Significant differences between two groups in the urban elderly were not found. Self-esteem, health status and self-care were positively correlated each other in the rural elderly. Significant correlations were found between self-esteem and health status, and between self-esteem and self-care in the rural elderly. Conclusion: Self-esteem forms the foundation of psychosocial health and provides a measure for the quality of life of the elderly in long term care. As nursing is in a unique position to promote self-esteem, the nurse can plan and provide nursing intervention with the consideration of characteristics of the rural and urban elderly to promote the self-esteem, health status and self-care of the elderly.

Purpose: This study attempted to investigate the influence of attitude toward the use of new technology and technological readiness on the intention of new technology acceptance among the elderly aged 65 or older living in small and medium-sized cities. Methods: Ninety-eight people age 65 or above participated in the study. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test and ANOVA with the Scheffé test. The Pearson correlations between attitude, technology readiness, and intention of new technology acceptance were analyzed, and factors affecting intention of new technology acceptance were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results: The factors affecting the elderly's intention to accept new technologies were innovation in technology readiness (β=.52, p<.001) and educational level (β=-.22, p=.018). Conclusion: Based on these findings, it is necessary to develop strategies and educational programs for the socioeconomically vulnerable elderly to improve their intention to accept new technologies.
