본 연구는 근거리 무선통신 장치의 하나의 비콘의 신호를 이용하여 침수위험지역에 접근하게 될 시 알림 서비스를 제공하는 어플리케이션을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 어플리케이션의 기능은 크게 침수위험지역으로 연결되는 경로로 진입하는 경우 일정 거리 이상으로 접근하게 되면 휴대용 단말기에 알림창을 띄우는 기능과 침수대피시설에 가까워지는 경우 알림창을 제공하는 기능으로 구성되어 있다. 침수 상황에서 발생되는 인명피해의 유형을 살펴보면 침수지역의 거주민이 침수를 경험하는 경우도 있지만, 방문객과 같은 불특정인도 침수로 인한 피해를 경험한다. 특히, 관광객, 방문객과 같이 해당지역에 거주하지 않는 사람의 경우 침수예상지역에 대한 지식이 전혀 없을뿐더러 대피시설과 피난경로에 대한 인지가 상대적으로 지극히 부족하다. 또한 침수재해의 경우 위험을 인지하지 못하고 침수위험지역에 잘못 진입하게 되면 침수의 진행에 따라 피난이 불가능해 지는 상황이 발생한다는 특징이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안하는 간단한 어플리케이션으로 침수지역의 위험에 대한 인지, 대피시설에 대한 1차원적인 정보제공이 가능하다면 인명피해를 저감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate newly admitted nursing home resident's experience and adjustment problems in the early stage of institutionalization. Method: In depth interviews was done on 6 elderly residents who were newly admitted. Data from the interview were analyzed using theme analysis method. Results: Results showed that reasons for Institution admission were decreasing physical health and cognitive functioning. Residents reported that difficulties they experienced in institution life were lack of individualized care, loss of autonomy and privacy associated with the demands of group living, and loss of control over activities of daily living. Conclusion: Efforts need to be made to maintain the residents' decision-making and autonomy. Listening intentionally, offering choices, and promoting personal identity might be utilized to reduce relocation stress and enhance adaptation to nursing home living.

Objective : This study aimed to investigate and compare the prevalence of depression and suicidality among the elderly in a rural city according to their residence type. Methods : Participants were 311 elderly people (109 male and 202 female) in Icheon City, whom trained researchers interviewed and examined Geriatric Depression Scale, Social Support Scale, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Activities of Daily Living, Quality of Life Scale, and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), module C. Using these data, we analyzed participants' risk factors associated with depression and suicidality. Results : The prevalence of depression was 28.0%. The prevalence in the elderly living alone and those admitted to residential facilities was significantly higher than that among the elderly living with family. Suicidality frequency was 19.6%. The suicidality frequency among the elderly living alone and those admitted to facilities was significantly higher than that among the elderly living with family. The risk factors for depression were age, admission to a facility, and low economic status. The suicidality risk factors were living alone, admission to a facility, poor social support, and a history of headache. Conclusion : These results showed the prevalence of depression and frequency of suicidality among the elderly in such a city was quite high. The results of this study remind psychiatrists of the importance of early detection and therapeutic intervention for the elderly with a high risk of depression and suicidality.

The purpose of this study is to achieve an understanding of psychosocial needs of elderly female residents living in the nursing home and their evaluation about psychosocial services from their perspectives. In-depth interview by constructivist inquiry was conducted to explore residents' needs. Purposive sampling was used to ensure that participants could communicate verbally and share their experience of living in the nursing home. 8 female residents who cognitively intact and aged 65 or over were invited to participate in this study. Data collection was conducted from January 1 to 5 in 2008. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Constant comparison method was used for data analysis. Levels of psychological needs were identified as four categories-satisfied needs; unmet needs; hidden needs; lack of expression of needs. While nursing home generally focuses on medical care provision, residents' psychosocial needs tend to be relatively overlooked. The satisfaction of psychosocial needs is significant in guaranteeing well-being in later life.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the elderly based on the types of Kyungrodang participation and explores ways toward development of Kyungrodang. A national sample data, collected by the Korean Institute for the Health and Social Welfare in 2004 is analyzed by employing Chi-Square test of independence, ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression(n=3,005). A significant difference is noted in age, area, and socioeconomic status among the elderly based on the types of Kyungrodang participation. The results show that those elderly living in rural areas with older and lower socioeconomic status are more likely to participate at Kyungrodang, whereas, elderly living in urban areas with younger and higher socioeconomic status are less likely to participate at Kyungrodang and discontinue to use the services. Although there is a difference between the gender, the most significant reason for not using and discontinuing Kyungrodang is because the elderly can not get along with the other participants. In other words, the major problem that needs to be solved is to socializing and providing service programs satisfying all participants. Based on the results and recent socioeconomic changes of the older population, some policy issues are suggested for the development of Kyungrodang.

Purpose: This study was aimed to describe older adults' experiences of living with urinary incontinence and using diapers for its management in long-term care facilities. Methods: Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 22 participants in long-term care facilities. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: Three themes and six categories were emerged. Participants navigated through those three categories as stages, including the initial stage of confronting the unacceptable reality, transitional stage of physical and emotional suffering, and adaptive stage of accepting the diaper usage as a part of life and hoping improvement. Six categories were feeling terrible with unavoidable use of diapers, being frustrated by nursing staff shortage and unsatisfactory care for urinary incontinence, physical discomfort from of wearing diapers and remaining unchanged, emotional difficulties due to using diapers, accepting and adapting to diaper usage as a part of life, hope for gender-specific quality care for urinary incontinence. Conclusion: The findings suggest that using diapers should not be mandatory to manage older adults' urinary incontinence in long-term care facilities. It is also critical to establish policies to address issues of nursing shortage and financial support for qualitative care to manage urinary incontinence in long-term care settings.

신$\cdot$재생에너지는 환경친화적이면서 무한하게 공급되므로 지속가능한 미래 에너지원으로 각광받고 있으나 선행투자와 시장전망의 불확실성 때문에 정부 주도의 개발이 필요하다. 정부는 이러한 여건에 있는 신$\cdot$재생에너지 사업의 활성화를 위하여 공공기관 신축 건물에 대해 신$\cdot$재생에너지의 이용을 의무화하는 법령을 만들고, RPS제도를 도입하는 것을 검토하는 둥의 노력을 하고 있다. 이러한 정책수립 과정에서 국민들의 의견을 수렴하여 충분히 반영해야 신규 정책에 대한 타당성이 뒷받침되게 된다. 이에 일반 국민의 신$\cdot$재생에너지에 대한 관심과 선호도에 대한 인식을 분석하기 위해 일반 국민에게 가장 보편적으로 알려져 있거나 이용 중인 특정 신$\cdot$재생에너지의 종류를 알아보고, 아울러 가장 도움을 주거나 우리나라 여건에 적절하다고 국민들이 기대하는 종류가 무엇인지 조사하였다. 또 거주지역에 신$\cdot$재생에너지 생산기지가 건설되는 것에 대한 찬반 의견을 물어 일반 혐오시설 건설에 대한 의견과 비교하고, 응답이 각 계층별로 어떠한 양상을 띠는지 조사하였다. 이를 통해 정부의 신·재생에너지 정책에 대한 국민들의 입장과 수용여부를 분석하고자 한다. 응답자 중 대부분이 태양열과 풍력 에너지라는 용어를 경험한 것으로 드러난 반면, 소수력과 바이오매스 에너지는 생소하게 느끼고 있었다 일반적으로 친숙한 용어의 신$\cdot$재생에너지의 종류에 대해 기대를 갖고 있는 반면, 생소한 신·재생에너지에 대해서는 기대 수준이 낮은 것으로 나타나 신·재생에너지 관련 교육의 필요성을 보여주고 있다. 또 여성보다는 남성이, 그리고 신$\cdot$재생에너지에 대한 사전지식이 많을수록 거주지역에 신$\cdot$재생에너지 생산기지를 건설하는 것에 대해 호의적이었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influential factors on parenting guilt of mothers who use a day-care center. To achieve these research goals, the present study 1) analysed the differences in the mother's parenting guilt as the socio-demographic variables of the mother and child, and 2) examined the relative effect size of influences on the mother's parenting guilt with their parenting efficacy, satisfaction on the day-care center, emotional and informational support from teachers, and mother's active interaction with day-care teachers. The participants of the study were 350 mothers whose infants and toddlers were attending day-care centers in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo. The results of this study are as follows. First, the mothers with infants who were younger than 3 years old reported more parenting guilt than the mothers with toddlers. Second, the mothers whose children were the first child reported more parenting guilt than the mothers with children who were the second or the third child. Third, the emotional support from the day-care teacher was the most influential factor on the mother's parenting guilt. This study suggests that the mutual cooperation between mother and day-care teacher are very important to reduce the mother's parenting guilt.

미국사회에서 노인의 거주지 적응양식은 인종간에 차이가 크다. 일반적으로 소수인종노인은 백인 노인에 비하여 자녀와 함께 사는 경향이 강하다. 이에 대하여 문화적 입장에서는 소수인종은 백인에 비하여 가족부양규범이 강하다고 주장한다. 다른 한편 경제적 입장에서는 소수인종은 그들의 생애를 지배하는 빈곤 때문에 규모의 경제를 통하여 가계비용을 줄이기 위하여 확대가족을 유지할 수밖에 없다고 주장한다. 본 연구는 노인이 질병과 빈곤에 적응하는 방식에 있어 인종간 차이를 검토함으로써 기존의 경제학적 논의와 문화적 논의의 적합성을 검정하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 노인의 거주지 적응에 대한 문화적 영향과 관련하여 두가지 가설을 검정하고 있다. 첫째, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 빈곤과 질병상황에서 가족으로부터 더 오랜기간 보호를 받는지를 검토한다. 둘째, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 건강이 악화될 때 더욱 신속하게 가족으로부터 보호를 받을 수 있는지를 검토한다. 분석을 위해서 1984년에서 1990년기간 동안 실시된 "고령화에 대한 종단적 조사(Longitudinal Survey on Aging)"를 이용하여 마르코비안 다중생명표 모형과 사건분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 소수인종 노인은 가족부양규범의 문화적 이점을 그다지 크게 다지고 있지 않다. 인종간 사망력과 시설입소의 차이를 통제할 때, 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 보다 흔하게 자녀동거에서 단독거주형태로 혹은 그 반대방향으로 거주지 변화를 경험하고 있다. 백인 노인은 소수인종에 비하여 질병상태와 관련하여 자녀와 동거하는 경향이 더 강하다. 사망력과 시설입소의 인종간 차이를 통제할 때 소수인종노인이 백인노인보다 쉽게 자녀동거에서 단독거주로 이행하는데 이는 소수인종에서 가족부양체계가 불안정함을 의미한다. 또한 빈곤시에 소수인종 노인은 백인노인에 비하여 쉽게 자녀와 떨어져 살게 된다. 이러한 결과는 소수인종 노인에 대한 가족의 지원은 그 가족의 경제적 제약속에서 매우 안정적이지 못함을 시사한다. 못함을 시사한다.
