본 연구의 목적은 도시 거주 노인을 대상으로 낙상과 관련된 위험 요인들을 찾아 비교하는 것이다. D 광역시에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 62명을 대상으로, 과거 1년 동안의 낙상 경험을 토대로 낙상군과 비낙상군으로 분류하였다. 일반적 특성, 낙상관련 생활습관 및 만성질환, 균형과 관련된 신체적(BBS), 심리적 검사도구(K-ABC)와 우울증 평가(SGDS)를 통해 그룹 간의 차이를 비교하고, 유의한 차이를 보인 변수들의 상관관계를 확인하였다. 연구 결과, BBS와 K-ABC, 그리고 SGDS 점수는 그룹 간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 또한, BBS와 K-ABC 점수는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, K-ABC와 SGDS 점수는 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-0.472). 결과에 기초하여, SGDS와 함께 ABC와 BBS는 낙상 평가 도구로써 추천할 만한 도구임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to investigate health-related and eating-related behaviors as part of self-recognized health status. The survey was conducted among 304 elderly people in Chunchon city in 1999. Fifty two percent(52%) of the respondents recognized they were healthy, 32% felt so-so and 16% thought themselves unhealthy. When they felt healthy, they engaged in more social work and regular exercise, had better appetites, lower conflict scores with their children, lower depression, higher satisfaction in life, better physical condition(eye, ear, tooth, mentality and walking), and higher ability of ADL(activities of daily living) and IAD(instrumental activities of daily living). Also, the self-recognized group consumed each food groups (meats, green, yellow and white vegetables, fruits, milks, seaweeds, beans) more often and showed a higher preference of food. The results of this study indicate that self-recognized health status affects every pattern of life among the elderly. As a result, comprehensive education(such as nutrition, health, physical and psychological education) should be offered to the elderly.

For 387 married women in their 20s to 50s, we inquired about the differences in whether they intended on moving into a welfare facility, depending on their views on supporting the elderly and the burden of supporting elderly parents, and tried to find out factors that would affect their decision to move into a welfare facility. With those objectives in mind, we conducted a survey targeting married women in their 20s to 50s who live in Seoul, Daejun or a city or county in Choongnam-do, and carried out frequency analysis, intersection analysis, one-way ANOVA and judge analysis. Our findings from those analyses are summarized as follows. First, when considering married women's characteristics and examining their intention of moving into a welfare facility for the elderly, there was a meaningful difference in their intention depending on age, academic background, occupation, and area of residence. Second, our analysis of the differences in their intention of moving in, based on married women's view on supporting the elderly and the burden of supporting elderly parents, indicates that due to these responsibilities, the greatest number of married women expressed their intention of moving in if a convenient facility for the elderly and service were provided. However, the analysis for the intention of moving in depending on savings for old age, did not exhibit any meaningful difference. Third, from the examination of determining factors for married women's intention of moving into a welfare facility for the elderly, based on age, academic background, occupation, residential area, responsibility for supporting an elderly family member and savings for old age, it was found that the burden of support was the only meaningful effective factor.

본 연구의 목적은 노인의 낙상두려움, 일상생활수행능력, 삶의 질 정도를 낙상경험유무, 만성질환유무, 거주지역별로 비교분석하여 결과를 지역노인의 삶의 질을 증진시키기 위한 낙상방지 프로그램의 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 함이다. 본 연구는 J시의 시내 경로당 4곳과 농촌지역 주민 센터 4곳에서 지역 노인 185명을 대상으로 2016년 8월 15일부터 2016년 9월 17일까지 시행 되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 보면 낙상경험유무별 낙상두려움, 일상생활수행능력, 삶의 질 비교분석 결과 모든 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었고, 만성질환유무별 낙상두려움, 일상생활수행능력, 삶의 질 비교에서는 낙상 두려움과 삶의 질에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 그리고 거주지역별 낙상두려움, 일상생활수행능력, 삶의 질 비교에서는 일상생활수행능력 및 삶의 질에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 낙상두려움, 일상생활수행능력, 삶의 질 간의 상관관계를 보면 낙상두려움은 일상생활수행능력과 유의하게 음의 상관관계를 보이고 있고(r=-.386, p<.000), 일상생활수행능력과 삶의 질과의 관계는 유의하게 양의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였다(r=.513, p<.000). 따라서 노인의 낙상두려움을 낮추기 위한 안전한 환경을 마련이 중요함을 인식하여 환경개선교육 프로그램의 개발이 필요하고 노인들의 일상생활에서 낙상관련 필수적인 정보들을 얻을 수 있는 시스템 개발이 되어야하며, 일상생활수행능력을 높일 수 있는 프로그램을 삶의 질이 증진될 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The data were collected from October 1st to 20th, 1998. The subjects in this study were 271 elderly home residents over the age 60 living in Taejon city. The study tool for measuring powerlessness was developed by S.E. Chung(1998), the other for measuring perception of health was a self-rating scale defined by Mossey & Shapiro (1982), and the tool for measuring cognitive level was developed by Kahn, Goldfarb, Pollack and Peck(1960). Data were analysed for percentage, mean, t-test, and ANOVA using the SPSS program. The results of this study were as follows ; 1. The degree of powerlessness, perception of health and cognitive level was scored above the median. 2. The degree of the elderly' powerlessness was statistically significantly different in three demographic variables; sex, one's state of health compared to other elderly' and living expense load. 3. Perception of one's health was statistically significantly different in four demographic variables; sex, marital status, educational level and monthly money. 4. Cognitive level of the elderly was statistically significantly different in three demographic variables; age, educational level and one's health of state compared to other elderly' health. In conclusion, the factors influencing the elderly' powerlessness, perception of health and cognitive level generally were age, sex, their economic independence, marital status, and educational level.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a cognitive behavior program on cognition, depression, and activities of daily living in elderly with Cognitive Impairment. Method: The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. There were 21 subjects in the experimental group and 19 in the control group among 40 senior residents in a Hall for the elderly in the city of S. The subjects scores ranged from 15 to 23 on the MMSE-K(Korean Version of Mini-Mental State Examination) over age 65. The length of time for data collection and intervention was from Jun 26 to September 1, 2006. The cognitive behavior program consisted of 'Facing problem behavior', 'Searching for a coping skill', and 'Training in the coping skill'. It was applied to the experimental group twice a week, fifty minutes per session for six weeks. Result: Cognition(t=-4.232, p< .001) and IADL(t=-2.939, p< .01) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Depression in the experimental group was significantly less than the control group(t=3.870, p< .01). However, ADL in the experimental group was not significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion: These findings confirmed that a cognitive behavior program contributed to improving cognition and IADL, and to reducing depression in the elderly with Cognitive Impairment.
