Accidents are the fourth-leading causal factor of death among the elderly, and fall is a major type of accident (53.17%). Many cases of falls in the elderly result in delayed discovery and loss of quality of life. As the number of the elderly grows, falls will be a more important health problem. Most previous research on falls investigated prevalence. mortality, and the related factors. There are many studies proving the effect of rhythmic movements. But few researches considered linking risk factors of fall with rhythmic movements. Purpose: We want to show the changes after performing rhythmic movement program, in risk factors of falls and mobility such as flexibility, balance, muscle power and persistency in the elderly, in order to provide basic information needed for the development of fall injury prevention program for the elderly. Method: The design of this study is quasi-experimental, the equivalent control group, pretest-posttest. The subjects consist of 124 people who lived in Do-Bong-Qu. Seoul, agreed to participate in this study, and were able to follow this rhythmic movement program. About 93 % of them are from 65 to 84 years (Mean${\pm}$sd: $73.7{\pm}5.7$): 64% are female. The rhythmic movement program was designed. and performed by two community health nurses working in the Do-Bong-Gu Public Health Center, regularly twice a week from May, 4 to December, 17. in 10 senior citizens' community centers. Risk factors of fall were measured with RAFS- II (Risk Assessment for Falls Scale II) by asking about each item: mobility was measured by observing their specific movements asked by investigators. Results: 1. After performing the program during 7 months, risk factors score of falls were decreased significantly (paired-t = 4.77. p<0.01). 2. After performing the program during 7 months, flexibility (paired-t = 2.26. p=0.03) and mobility were improved (paired-t = 4.98. p<0.01). but muscle power and persistency did not change (paired-t = 0.33. p=0.74). Overall, mobility affecting the occurrence of falls was improved significantly (paired-t = 5.15. p<0.01). Conclusions: A regular rhythmic movement program can be helpful in preventing falls in the elderly. Further. we can develop a fall injury prevention program using rhythmic movement.

연구배경 : 승모판 협착증 환자들은 폐기능검사상 제한성 및 폐쇄성 환기장애를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며, 또한 운동능력의 장애가 있다는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 이러한 폐기능의 장애는 수술적 판막교정술에 의해 일부 호전이 있었다고 보고되어 왔다. 이에 저자들은 흉부폐쇄하에서의 경피적풍선확장 승모판막성형술에 의해 승모판 협착증을 교정한후, 폐기능검사 및 운동능력의 호전 정도 및 시술후 사간적 경과에 따른 변화를 보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 승모판 협착증을 가진 46명을 대상으로 하였으며 심초음파상 좌심방혈괴가 보이거나, 승모판 폐쇄부전증이 grade 2이상인 경우는 제외하엿다. 승모판 협착증의 교정전후 폐활량측정법, 폐확산능 및 운동부하검사를 시행하였으며 폐기능의 시간적 경과에 따른 변화를 보기 위하여 폐기능 및 운동부하검사의 추적검사를 11명의 환자에서 평균 5개월 후에 실시하였다. 그리고 동율동을 보인 29명의 환자를 폐동맥압에 의해 A, B 양군으로 나누고, 양군간의 판막성형술 전후 폐기능 및 운동부하 검사결과를 비교하였다. 결과 : 경피적풍선 확장 판막성형술후 평균 10일째 시행한 폐기능 및 운동부하검사결과를 수술전 검사 결과와 비교시, 노력성폐활량(FVC), 1초간노력성호기량($FEV_1$), 노력성호기중간유량($FEF_{25-75%}$), 최고호기유속(PEF), 최대산소섭취량($\dot{V}O_2$ max) 및 무산소역치(AT)등의 유의한 증가가 있었으며, 폐확산능(DLco)의 유의한 감소가 있었다. 한편 5개월뒤 추적 검사한 11명의 환자에서 시술직후와 비교시 폐기능 검사 및 운동부하 검사결과의 유의한 증가는 없었다. 동율동을 보인 29예를 폐동맥압이 35mmHg보다 높은 경우 A군(16예), 35mmHg 이하인 경우 B군(13예)으로 분류하였다. A군에서는 판막성형술전 FVC, $FEV_1,\;\dot{V}O2$ max가 B군보다 유의하게 낮았으나 판막성형술후 A군에서 B군보다 FVC, $FEV_1,\;\dot{V}O_2$ max의 유의한 증가를 보였다. 그리고 A군에서 판막성형술후 AT 및 $\dot{V}O2$ max에서의 분당 산소섭취량에 대한 분당환기량($\dot{V}E/\dot{V}O_2$)과 분당 이산화탄소 생산량에 대한 분당 환기량($\dot{V}E/\dot{V}O_2$)이 유의하게 감소하였으나, B군에서는 AT에서의 $\dot{V}E/\dot{V}O_2$ 및 $\dot{V}E/\dot{V}CO_2$는 유의한 감소를 보였으나, $\dot{V}O_2$ max에서의 $\dot{V}E/\dot{V}O_2$ 및 $\dot{V}E/\dot{V}CO_2$는 유의한 변화가 없었다. 결론: 1) 승모판협착증 환자에서 경피적풍선확장 판막성형술(PMV)후 1개월 이내 시행한 폐기능검사 및 운동부하 검사상 유의한 호전이 있었다. 2) 중등도 이상의 폐고혈압을 보인 승모판협착증 환자에서 폐동맥압 상승이 경미한 예보다 운동수행 능력의 유의한 증가가 있었다. 3) 중등도 이상의 폐고혈압을 보인 승모판협착증 환자에서 판막성형술후 운동능력의 유의한 호전은 분당 산소소모량에 대한 분당 환기량의 감소에 기인한 것으로 사료되었다.

Every year the number of the elderly increases in Korea thanks to the improvemen of social and economical levels and the development of medicine. However, many problems such as insufficent care and the isolation of the elderly have been commonplace. This trend exists not only because of increased lifespan but also the changing social structure of the nuclear family. Accordingly, inspite of the development of medicine, geriatric diseases including circulatory diseases are increasing in proportion of elderly population, as well as the severity. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that health care programs provide the best possible health care and functional capacities in terms of healthy elderly lifestyles. Especially, the phenomena of aging and geriatric diseases taking place with the elderly naturally are affected by lifestyle and the drastic changes in exercise patterns. This study aims to improve geriatric health by introducing a rhythmic movement program for the elderly to estabilish a health-promoting self-care system and by developing quality of life, perceived health status, their physical and physiological functions and emotional state. The theoretical framework used in this dissertation is derived from the Health-Promoting Self-Care System Model (Simmons, 1990), which integrates the Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (Orem, 1985), the interaction model of Client Health Behavior (Cox, 1982) and the Health Promotion Model (Pender, 1987). As a quasi-experimental design, the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design is utilized for this study. The subjects of this study consist of 64 people, over 65 years old who live in 2 nursing homes for the aged located in S city , Kyong-gi province and volunteered for this study from July, 12, 1999 to September, 17, 1999. They are divided into two groups：33 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. The experimental group particpated in the Rhythmic Movement Program at the nursing home, which was comprised of 45 minutes a session, 5 sessions a week during 9 weeks. In order to measure the results of the Rhythmic Movement Program, aspects of perceived health status, balance, flexibility, grip strength, leg strength, heart rate, blood pressure, depression, anxiety and the quality of life were measured before and after participating in the Rhythimic Movement Program for the experimental group after 9 weeks, as well as the control group. The collected data were processed by SPSS PC+ and analyzed by the X2 test, t-test, ANCOVA and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The perceived health status conditions in the experimental group show statistically significant improvement when compared to the control group (F=17.51, p=.000). 2. The physical and physiological functions, that is, balance (F=17.51, p=.000), flexibility (F=8.01, p=.006), grip strength (F=3.21, p=.018) and leg strength (F=25.78, p=.000) in the experimental group are higher than the control group. The vital signs, that is, the number of heart rate (F=.022, p=.884), systolic pressure (F=1.73 p=.193), and diastolic pressure (F=2.74, p=.103) in the experimental group compared to the control group decreased, but doesn't show statistically significant differences. Immune responses (F=5.13, p=.003) showed statistically significant increases in the experimental group when compared to the control group. 3. The emotional state are improved, that is, degree of depression (F=11.56, p=.001) and degree of anxiety (F=9.14, p=.004) in the experimental group showed statistically significant decreases. 4. The quality of life in the experimental group (F=3.03, p=.037) showed statistically significant differences compared to the control group. 5. The observations of the relationships among the perceived health status, emotional state , the quality of life, the relationships between the perceived health status, the degree of depression (r=-.653, p=.000) and the degree of anxiety (r=-.786, p=.000) were in contrary propotions, while the relationships between the perceived health status and the quality of life (r=.234, p=.008) were in direct propotion. In conclusion, the Rhythmic Movement Program used in this study for geriatric nursing care is simple and safe for application to the elderly and shows significant effects by implementing 5 sessions a week for 9 weeks. The Rhythmic Movement Program improves the quality of life, maintains as well as improves the physical and physiological fuctions and emotional state, therefore this program is strongly recommended for positive applications for independant geriatric nursing health care.

만성 신부전증은 지속적인 혈액투석을 하고 있음에도 다양한 형태의 좌심실 기능부전을 보이며, 특히 좌심실 수축기능이 정상이면서 이완기능 장애만으로 임상적인 심부전증 증상인 폐부종 등이 나타나기도 한다. 또한 혈액투석 후 급격한 혈액량의 변화가 생기므로 적정 심박출을 유지하기 위하여 좌심실 이완기능이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 혈액투석이 좌심실의 수축 및 이완기능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 Doppler 심초음파도 지표들을 이용해 투석 전후에 좌심실 수축 및 이완기능의 변화를 비교분석 하였다. 심초음파 검사상 좌심실 수축기능 부전이 없고(fractional shortening>30%), 심장 판막질환이나 심근 국소벽 운동장애가 없으며 정상 심율동을 가진 만성 신부전증 환자 30명(남자 15명, 연령$45{\pm}10$세)을 대상으로 이면성 심초음파도 검사를 시행하고, 혈액투석 전후의 좌심실 용적, 좌심실 수축기능 및 Doppler 심초음파도를 이용한 좌심실 이완기능 지표들의 변화를 관찰하여 분석하였다. 혈액투석 후 맥박은 약간 증가하는 소견을 보였으나 통계적 유의성은 없었고, 혈압은 수축기 혈압 및 이완기 혈압의 감소가 있었다. 혈액투석 후 좌심방 및 좌심실 확장기 내경의 크기가 감소했으나 좌심실 수축기 내경의 크기는 변화가 없었고, 심실중격 및 좌심실 후벽의 두께는 변화가 없었다. 좌심실 수축기능 지표인 Fractional shortening, 좌심실 구혈율, 좌심실 박출지수, mean VCF은 투석 전후에 유의한 변화를 보이지 않아 혈액투석으로 인한 좌심실 수축지표의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 혈액투석 후 좌심실 이완기능지표의 변화로서 peak E velocity는 현저히 감소하였고, peak A velocity의 변화는 통계적 유의성이 없었다. E/A ratio가 감소하였고, IVRT(Isovolumic Relaxation Time)의 증가가 있었으나, DT(Deceleration time)의 변화는 없었다. 수축기 및 이완기 기능 지표로 사용되는 IMP(Index of Myocardial Performance)는 좌심실 구혈율의 증가와 함께 현저히 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 혈액투석 후 전부하의 감소에 따른 좌심실 이완기능 지표의 변화로서 E파속 및 E/A비의 감소, IVRT 증가가 나타나고 수축기 기능 및 이완기 기능의 지표로 이용되는 IMP의 증가가 발생하므로, 혈액투석 후 흔히 좌심실 이완기능 장애의 악화가 발생하는 것으로 추정된다.
