본 연구는 간호학과 4학년 재학 중 인 학생 42명을 대상으로 대학생들의 노인생애체험 경험을 확인하고자 체험담과 후속 심층면담의 내용을 분석한 탐색적 연구이다. 자료 수집은 2018년 9월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 였으며 간호대 학생들은 S시립 노인생애체험센터에서 약 3시간 동안 노인생애체험을 경험하였다. 체험을 마친 후 반구조적이고 개방적인 질문이 수록된 질문지를 배부하여 작성된 보고서의 내용을 내용분석법 방법에 따라 분석하였고 참여자중 10명을 대상으로 심층 면담을 시행하여 내용 분석하였다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 간호학생들은 노인생애 체험학습을 통해 노인 간호 대상자들에 대한 공감적 이해가 폭넓게 깊어졌음을 알 수 있었다. 향후 이러한 변화를 민감하게 감지할 수 있는 양적인 측정도구의 개발이 필요하며 노인의 신체적인 기능의 변화만을 강조하는 노인유사체험을 보완하여 노화에 대해 보다 더 복합적이고 포괄적이며 긍정적으로 이해할 수 있는 노인간호 프로그램의 개발을 제언한다.

Due to the rapid increasing in the aged population, it calls for social countermeasures urgently. Especially, there are increasing needs of space environment to support physical and spiritual characteristics of elderly. When designing space environment including house, there are growing consideration for elderly and extending appreciation of aging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception on environment planning for the seniors among university students who majoring in Housing & Interior Design and who visited the Aging Simulation Center located in Seoul. The Aging Simulation Center gives a chance of space design to support the elderly based on the experiences of daily living for the designers who design environment for elderly. Questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain data from 93 university students in their 20s majoring in housing and interior design who visited the Aging Simulation Center. The research findings showed that the recognition for design elements of residential environment for the elderly of respondents was changed toward positive way after visiting the Aging Simulation Center. The Aging Simulation Center was an effective educational environment for the preliminary designers to understand aging and the importance of appropriate design for users' needs. That is, aging simulation space can improve recognition of necessity of universally designed environment to support the elderly. Handrails around bathtub and wash basin, stair slope, electric auto-level controlled kitchen counter and kitchen cabinet were especially perceived for the respondents as very essential design elements to support the aged.

In recent years, Korean population aged 65 and over has grown faster(7.2% in 2000, 14.4% projected in 2018 and 20.0% in 2026) than the other age groups and average life expectancy has increased from 65.8 years in 1980 to 75.9 years in 2000. The Aging Simulation Center(ASC) was built for people to give educational chance for further understanding of the elderly and the environment for the aged. People are able to recognize the changes including hearing loss, vision changes, and changes in the ability to touch and move after experiencing the simulated daily life of older persons. In general, ASC is composed of residential setting area and exhibition area of daily commodities for the elderly and care person. Currently, there are four ASCs in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of space design and design elements of ASCs and to suggest design implementation for better residential environment for the elderly. For the research purpose, design characteristics such as floor plans and spatial design elements of three ASCs were analyzed and compared. As a whole, space design of three ASCs was almost same without distinguished characteristics. The major finding of this study indicates that the ASC is considerably helpful environment to understand aging. However, some of design elements such as lighting should be supplemented for safety issue. It is recommended for future design of ASC to include exterior space including outdoor stairs, paths and roads and so on. In addition, reception and preparation area should be arranged with universally designed furniture.
