The subjects of this study were 100 elderly people who were over 60 years of age and had chronic pain. The study examined the matter of quality of life and self-efficacy of elderly patients with chronic pain including the influence of related factors on these variables. Also, by examining their relation, it provides basic data for the development of efficient nursing interventions for the elderly patients with chronic pain. The tools were the general self-efficacy scale by Sherer & Maddux(1982) and a specific self-efficacy Scale(Lorig et al, 1989) modified to better suit the subjects of this study. The quality of life scale by You-Ja Ro(1988) modified to better suit the subjects of this study was used. The data were collected from August to October 1999. Four researchers and two research assistants developed a data collection protocol subjected to a pilot study for confirmation of validity. In this study, the research assistants read the questionaire to the subjects and recorded the responses themselves. The interviews lasted 40-50 minutes on an average. The data thus collected were analyzed in terms of t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, using the SAS PC program. The major findings are as follows: 1) For self-efficacy it was found that males had higher self-efficacy than females for specific self-efficacy. But for general efficacy, males and females showed similar results. The the quality of life was found to be higher for males than females. 2) A positive correlation was identified between the specific self-efficacy, general self-efficacy and quality of life. 3) The general characteristics affecting the self-efficacy of elderly patients with chronic pain were employment, age, level of education, spouse, economic status and income. Self-efficacy was higher among those who were employed, aged between 66-70, well-educated, married and rich or having their own income. 4) The general characteristics affecting the quality of life of elderly patients with chronic pain were lodging with children, religion, level of education and economic status. The quality of life was higher among those who lived with their children and were Buddhists, were well-educated and rich.

본 연구는 한국인의 가치와 정서에 근거하여 노인이 경험한 이야기를 통해 노인이 생각하는 '좋은 죽음'에 대한 의미를 이해하는데 목적을 두고 '질적 연구방법'을 적용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 대상자는 서울시에 거주하는 노인 40명이었으며, 이들을 개별적으로 심층 면담하여 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 한국노인이 생각하는 '좋은 죽음'의 대주제는 '복 있는 죽음'으로 나타났으며 소주제는 '부모를 앞선 자녀가 없는 죽음', '자녀가 임종을 지켜주는 죽음', '자식에게 부담주지 않는 죽음', '부모 노릇 다하고 맞는 죽음', '고통 없는 죽음', '천수를 다한 죽음', '준비된 죽음' 등 7개였다. 연구결과에서 분석된 주제는 한국에서 말하는 오복 중 '죽음 복'과 일맥상통하고 있으며, 한국노인은 하늘이 주신 명을 다하고, 남은 삶을 통해 죽음을 준비하여, 깨끗하고 고통 없이 삶을 마감하길 바랬다. 또한 한국노인은 죽음에 대해 자손을 배려한 의미가 강하게 나타났는데, 삶에서뿐만 아니라 죽음에 있어서도 자녀의 생존, 건강, 행복, 성공 등과 매우 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 노인이 바라보는 '좋은 죽음'을 이해함으로 노인 개인의 바람직한 죽음 준비 차원 뿐 아니라, 사회복지 차원에서 노인복지 정책입안 및 실천 서비스 제공에 있어 노인의 남은 삶을 성공적 노후(Successful Aging)로 영위하게 하는데 함의가 있다.

중고령자의 디지털정보접근수준은 장애인, 청소년 등 다른 계층에 비해 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 하지만 이들을 대상으로 한 디지털정보접근수준과 관련 된 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 연구는 전국의 장·노년층을 대상으로 디지털정보접근수준과 관련된 변인들을 탐색하기 위해 인구사회학적 변인, 신체 및 정신건강 변인이 중고령자의 디지털정보접근수준에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 한국정보화진흥원의 2018년 디지털정보격차 실태조사 자료 중 55세에서 84세에 해당하는 1661명의 자료를 분석하였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 남성과 여성 중고령자 모두 교육수준이 높을수록, 경제수준이 높을수록, 삶의 만족도가 높을수록 디지털정보접근수준이 높게 나타났으며 남성 중고령자의 경우 비독거일수록, 여성 중고령자의 경우 연령이 낮을수록 디지털정보접근수준이 높게 나타나 성별에 따라 차이를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 남·여성 중고령자의 디지털정보접근수준과 관련된 특성들을 이해하고, 중고령자의 디지털정보접근수준 향상을 위한 실천적 개입에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 65세 이상 고령자의 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하여 고령자의 고용가능성 제고하는 것이다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 고령층의 학력과 경제활동 상태가 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치며, 경제활동과 직업훈련은 고령자의 역량 개발과 고용가능성 증진에 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 고령자 중 상당 수가 근로를 계속 희망하며 이들의 경우, 직업훈련에 더 많이 참여하는데, 이는 고령자의 직업훈련 참여를 촉진하고 적합한 모델을 개발하는 것이 정책적으로 중요함을 시사한다. 로지스틱 회귀분석에서는 성별, 학력, 경제활동 여부, 근로 희망, 연금 수령액이 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었는데, 이를 통해 정부 지원 정책이나 저학력 고령자를 위한 구체적 대책을 수립할 필요성이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 연금 수령액이 낮을수록 직업훈련 참여를 촉진하는 접근이 요구된다는 점도 본 연구의 중요한 시사점이라 할 수 있다.

As the global elderly population rapidly increases, the mental health of the elderly, particularly depression, has emerged as a significant social issue. This study analyzes the various factors influencing depression in the elderly based on the ICF model. Utilizing data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study, the study identifies the types of changes in depression among individuals aged 65 and older and examines the factors influencing these changes. This longitudinal secondary data analysis research uses the most recent three years of data (2021-2023) from the Korea Welfare Panel. The study sample consisted of 965 elderly individuals, and a latent class growth model was applied to identify the types of depression changes, while a multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors. The analysis revealed that elderly depression could be categorized into four types: high-level decrease, high-level maintenance, low-level increase, and low-level maintenance. Main influencing factors included gender, age, education, poverty, social trust, social relationships, participation in economic activities, participation in religious activities, and health status. Particularly, social relationships and health status were significant factors affecting the types of depression changes. To mitigate depression in the elderly, a multifaceted approach considering both individual characteristics and social relationships and health status is required. The study suggests the development of community-based programs and trust-building activities at the community level to maintain and strengthen the social relationships of the elderly. These findings can serve as important foundational data for policies and practices aimed at improving the mental health of the elderly.

The food intake, food habits and others health related factors were surveryed by interview method. The subjects was 200 people(71 male, 129 female) aged over 65 year in the Han-an area. The obtained results as follows; Their average age is 73.5$\pm$5.6. Mean height and weight of elderly men were 163 cm and 58.1 kg. respectively and 148.7 cm and 50.0 kg for women.

The favorite snacks for men were alcohol fruit coffee and for women was fruit, candy, cookies and coffee. The daily alcohol drinking and smoking ration were 50.0%, 60.6% for men, respectively and 14.0%, 24.8 % for women. The nutritional intake ratio to RDA of men was significantly higher than women. Especially, the intakes of energy, Ca, Vit.A, Vit B$_1$, Vit B$_2$ niacin were extremely low in women. The frequency of alcohol intake was related to nutrient intake of women . There was a negative correlation between age. smoking rate and the nutritional intake. The pocket money, weight height appetite, and frequency of snacks showed a positive relation to nutritional intake. In conclusion the study shows that gender did influence food intake in the elderly, Food intake of women was extremely in deficit, because the most elderly rural women live alone. For successful aging. a program for rural elderly is needed on the govermment level, i.e actions to provide minimum economic life, food delivery and psychological/ physical health care through regional pubilc health centers.

The study aimed to identify major factors related to global self-rated health of the community-dwelling elderly people in rural areas. Interviews were conducted with 433 persons over 65 years of age. The socio-economic characteristics, chronic disease status, measures of functional and mental health, life satisfaction, health-related behaviors including smoking, drinking, exercise, social activity, dietary habit, and food intakes were analyzed to determine their influence on self-rated health index. Data on food intake were obtained through the 24-hour recall method. The self-rated health of rural elderly was poor or very poor as reported by 42.6% and 52.4% of the men and women, respectively. Poor self-rated health was found to be related to elderly aged $65{\sim}74$, female, absence of work, more chronic diseases, dependence on Instrumental Activity Daily Living (IADL), higher mental unhealthy days, lower current life satisfaction, less social activity, lower dietary habit scores, lower intake of total food, fruit, eggs, fishes & shell fishes, vitamin C (%RDA), and Nutrient Adequacy Ratio (NAR). The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that poor self-rated health index is significantly associated with more chronic diseases, mental unhealthy days, gastrointestinal disease, musculoskeletal disease, less social activity, and lower intake of fruits. The results also suggested that improving the nutritional status and functional ability, and reducing the burden of chronic diseases are beneficial to the self-rated health index of the elderly.
