혈당이 조절되지 않음에 따라 좌절하고, 우울하게 되고 합병증에 대한 두려움을 갖게되며 반복되는 입원과 평생동안 조절해야 되는 질병에 대한 부담감, 노동력 상실, 경제적 부담 등은 당뇨환자의 삶의 질에 부정적인 영향을 초래한다. 당뇨 관리의 주체가 노인 환자 자신인 만큼 당뇨교육 역시 필수적이며 지속적인 교육 참여가 중요하다. 삶의 과정 속에서 꾸준한 교육을 통하여 새로운 관리 방법들을 하나씩 배워가며 실천한다면 합병증 발생이 줄어들고 질 좋은 노후 생활을 보장받을 수 있을 것이다.

노후에 삶의 질은 건강한 신체에 달려있다고 볼 수 있다. 흔히들 걷기나 달리기, 수영 등의 유산소 운동만으로 충분하다고 생각해 근력운동을 소홀히 하는 경우가 많은데, 근력운동은 유산소 운동만큼이나 건강에 이로운 운동이다. 게다가 인슐린 감수성을 개선시켜줘 혈당조절에 유익해 당뇨인에게 필수적인 운동이다.

This study aimed to explore the life experiences of middle-aged and older women with disabilities using the photovoice method. Six middle-aged and older women with physical disabilities or brain lesions selected four themes through group discussion and shared their experiences using photos they took that reflect the four themes: my worsening health and the way I manage my health (identifying red flags for ill health, trying to coping with poor health), my leisure life (my limited leisure activities, enjoying my own leisure time), my social participation (participating in social activities that give me pleasure, participating in social activities to help make a better society), and my later life (worryingabout financial hardships and being alone in my later life, hoping for happiness in my later life). Study findings indicate the value of services and policies for middle-aged and older women with disabilities that provide guidance for health management and psychological counseling, extend opportunities for leisure and community participation, and provide skill training and educational programs for promoting financial and emotional independence in later life.

노후주거시설의 개보수의 필요성이 대두 되고 있으나 관련법규의 제약에 의해 내 외부 미관수선 정도에 그치고 있는 것이 현실이다. 그래 조금 나은 동선과 공간으로 수선시 법을 위반하여 불법 건축물로 낙인되어 지는 것이다. 경제적인 여유가 없는 노령층등 사회적 약자가 거주하는 공간은 더욱 더 열약하여 화장실, 주방, 수평이동 통로, 승강기등의 편의시설과 붕괴, 침하, 화재, 폭발, 오염등의 안전을 위협하는 위험요소의 제거등이 당장 필요하여도 미봉에 그치는 경우가 다반사이다. 또 이러한 노후 건물의 개보수는 신, 개축 보다 어렵고 비용도 많이 들면서 그 효과도 미미한 것이 사실이나 당장 신, 개축하기에는 관련 법규에 저촉되거나 주변 여건에 부합하지 않아 실시 할 수 없는 경우가 많아 이를 개선하고 합리적인 롤 모델을 만들고 필요하다면 관련법령도 정비할 필요가 있는 것이다. 노후되지 않아도 현시점에서 생활의 불편함을 느껴 개선할 필요가 있는 경우도 관련 법규의 유연함이 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 노후 주거 시설 및 현실 여건에 맞지않는 주거 시설을 보다 쉽고 합리적으로 개 보수할 수 있는 여건이 조성되도록 관련 건축법령의 개선, 또 경제적 여유가 없는 저소득층의 개보수여건을 개선할 수 있는 정부지원방안, 이러한 노후 주거시설의 개보수가 부동산 시장에 어떠한 영향을 초래할 수 있는지를 기존 연구들과 비교하여 합리적인 방안을 도출하고저 함.

This is a descriptive study on what factors influence the quality of life of early and late middle-aged men. This research is the secondary analysis which was conducted with the data of 170 people and the primary data from 2017 by using SPSS/WIN program. The results show that the main factor is depression in early middle-aged men and social support for late middle-aged men, whose overall ability to explain was 77.8% and 64.7%, respectively. Therefore, this research suggests that multidisciplinary and converged approaches-developing nursing intervention programs based on the factors shown in this paper, creating social environment, strengthening social supportive system and making policies-be required for the enhancement of middle-aged men's quality of life.

In this study, the author utilizes longitudinal data of the recent 12 years to verify whether the absolute versus relative income of old age has a significant effect on their life satisfaction of life. The findings of this study show that there is a significant difference in life satisfaction of old age according to respondents' relative income of three reference groups based on their asset quintile and residental area and education. In the correlation analysis using the cross-sectional data, the absolute and relative income level was closely related to the life satisfaction. In the panel regression analysis using the 12 years longitudinal data from the Korea National Labour Panel dataset, the income level of counterparts in those reference groups appeared highly significant in determining the level of life satisfaction of the elderly. However, some demographic variables such as age and marital status did not have a statistically significant effect in the long-term perspective. The income of reference groups in terms of asset levels, education and region as well as their own past life satisfaction level had a significant effect on the elders' life satisfaction determination. These results suggest that the relative income hypothesis in terms of life satisfaction among the elderly is more valid than the previous absolute income hypothesis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the perception of dying with dignity and the quality of life based on the opinions of the Korean populations. The participants were selected using a stratified proportional allocation method and 1,000 adults aged between 19 and 74 years from 17 municipalities and provinces in Korea. The questionnaire consisted of 2 demographic items; 26 items on the quality of life scale; and 57 items on the perception of dying with dignity. The statistical methods used included frequency analyses, independent sample t-tests, and correlation analyses. The results showed that the quality of life was highest for the social life quality item, and that the participants who had experienced a death in the family were more likely to have statistically lower quality of life in physical, psychological, environmental, and social areas. In terms of the participants' perception on dying with dignity, the score for death preparation was the highest; specifically, the score for psychological/economic burden reduction was the highest. The quality of life of the participants showed a positive correlation in all aspects of the perception of dying with dignity: physical symptoms and control, death preparation, death environment, family and social relations, hospital treatment, psychological dignity, and spirituality. Other studies conducted with middle-aged populations showed that their quality of life was higher when they perceived the acceptance of death is important and were willing to participate in death preparation education. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life and have a positive influence on the participants, educational programs on death preparation and dying with dignity considering all the areas of the perception of dying with dignity should be provided.
