This paper reports the results on age and gender of Korean elderly people for the level of difficulty in performing household tasks (meal preparation, grocery shopping, house cleaning, laundry), personal tasks (dressing, bathing, grooming), transfer tasks (getting in and out of chairs, getting in and out of bath-tub, using stairs) and management tasks (using telephone, accessing mail, operating door locks). A questionnaire based on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale was constructed and administered to 40 Korean elderly subjects aged from 65 to 84(mean age: 74.5, SD: 5.8) in Busan. Additionally, a logistic regression was performed with age (continuous variable) and gender as predictor variables, and reponses to individual questions as the categorical ordinal response variables. To determine appropriate age separation at which difficulty levels in performing activities of daily living change, a discriminant analysis was performed on the responses. All predictor variables were used in the analysis. Accommodating age related changes in functional abilities, and increasing functional independence of elderly people will entail significant design modifications to products, systems and environments for daily use and living.

본 연구는 프라이버시 우려가 모바일 간편결제 서비스 이용에 미치는 영향을 탐색하였다. 특히 기존 단일차원으로 논의되어 온 소비자 혁신성의 한계를 넘어 기능적·쾌락적·사회적·인지적 측면의 다차원적 소비자 혁신성을 적용하여 프라이버시 우려와 실제 행동 간의 일치·불일치 여부를 성별(남·여)로 구분하여 위계적 방법의 로지스틱 조절효과 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 성별을 막론한 모든 그룹에서 쾌락적 혁신성은 양(+)의 관계가 나타났으며, 기능적 혁신성은 여성 그룹에서 유의한 음(-)의 관계가 나타났다. 특히, 남성 집단에서는 프라이버시 우려와 기능적 혁신성의 조절효과가 나타났는데, 개인이 인지하는 기능적 혁신성에 따라 프라이버시 우려에 따른 모바일 간편결제 서비스 이용 여부가 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구를 통해 프라이버시 우려와 더불어 다차원적인 소비자 혁신성을 고려할 때 소비자의 신기술 기반 서비스 채택 양상을 다양하고 균형 있게 설명·예측할 수 있다는 점과 모바일 간편결제 서비스가 이용자의 즐거움과 더불어 해당 서비스가 보안 안전성을 기반으로 다양한 상황에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다는 확신을 소비자들에게 보여주어야 함을 연구의 시사점으로 제시하였다.

Clothing for hospitalized patients is very important because they wear it while they suffer from various kinds of pain and treatments. Therefore, the clothing for patients has to be comfortable and functional as well as well designed. Also correct sizes, suitable materials and convenient fastening devices are features to be considered for proper patient's clothing. However the currently used patient's clothing is provided without sufficient considerations for patient's needs, and is more concerned with price competitiveness. The purpose of this survey was to find out which design and functional features of patient's clothing are favored by patients, doctors and nurses. The results will be useful to develop improved patient's clothing. Based on the results, the following suggestions for improved patient's clothing are made. 1. Gender differentiation and a greater variety of size codes are required for better fit. 2. Depending on various treatments, different functional design features have to be applied. 3. Aesthetic needs should be satisfied for the psychological comfort of patients. 4. Materials should be selected considering required physical properties such as washing duration, dimensional stability and contaminant prevention.

연구목적 알츠하이머병 환자들의 행동심리증상(BPSD)은 임상적인 문제들을 일으켜 결국 기능의 감퇴, 간병인 스트레스, 입원, 사망률의 증가를 가져온다. 최근의 연구는 성별차이가 BPSD에서 중요한 역할을 한다고 보고하고 있으나, BPSD와 성별 사이 연관에 대한 국내 연구는 시행된 적이 없었다. 이에 본 연구는 알츠하이머병 환자들의 BPSD가 성별 차이에 의해 영향을 받는 것인지를 검증해 보고자 실시하였다. 방 법 면담과 인지기능평가를 통해 DSM-IV 진단기준에 의하여 알츠하이머병으로 진단받은 98명의 환자들이 본 연구에 참가하였다. 간이정신상태검사(MMSE), 임상치매평가척도(CDR), 전반적 퇴화척도(GDS), 한국형 신경정신행동검사(K-NPI)를 사용하여 인지기능 및 BPSD를 평가하였다. 성별 차이를 확인하기 위해서 독립 t 검증을 사용하여 분석하였으며, MMSE, CDR, GDS와 NPI 사이의 관련성을 살펴보기 위해 피어슨 상관분석을 사용하였다. 결 과 알츠하이머병 환자들의 BPSD에서 통계적으로 유의미한 성별 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. MMSE와 NPI 총점, 그리고 NPI 하위영역인 환각과 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며, CDR의 경우 NPI 총점, 무감동/무관심, 과민/불안정과, GDS의 경우 NPI 하위영역인 환각과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 결 론 본 연구결과 우리나라 알츠하이머병 환자들의 BPSD에서 성별의 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 추후 알츠하이머형 치매의 BPSD가 성별 차이에 의한 것인지 혹은 개인 차에 의한 것인지를 더 명확하게 밝혀내기 위한 광범위하고 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of banking service quality on consumer satisfaction and positive word-of-mouth. A total of 330 bank consumers were investigated between Sept. 11 and Oct. 11, 2006. After sorting through the data, the responses of 299 consumer ( > 24 yrs old) were used for analysis. SERVPERF, the performance component of the Service Quality scale (SERVQUAL), was used to measure the four dimensions of reliability, responsiveness/empathy, assurance, and tangibles. Responses were partitioned by age and gender. The major findings were as follows; The effect of service quality by SERVPERF on consumer satisfaction and positive word-of-mouth did not differ according to gender. However, positive recommendation in males was directy related to the technical quality evaluate. In females, higher the functional quality evaluate was directly related to higher positive word-of-mouth recommendation. The effect of service quality by SERVPERF on consumer satisfaction was not revealed differently according to age. However, with respect to respondents under the age of 45, tangibles and assurance had a positive relationship with word-of-mouth recommendation. Furthermore, the higher the functional quality evaluate, the higher the level of positive word-of-mouth. Responsiveness/empathy was the most significant factor on positive word-of-mouth recommendation in respondents over the age of 45. In this age group, the higher the technical quality evaluate, the higher the level of positive word-of-mouth recommendation. These results have implications for banking service managers, particularly in improving service quality to increase consumer satisfaction and positive word-of-mouth. Future research is needed to replicate this study using more broad and representative samples in order to test the generalization of these findings.

Background The ideal vaginoplasty must be successful functionally as well as have a natural appearance, and also must retain its functionality and appearance over the long term. Conventional vaginoplasty techniques have functional limitations and are associated with recurrent complications, but rectosigmoid vaginoplasty is known to have a high satisfaction rate due to its functional similarity with the vagina. We conducted the present study to assess the usability of rectosigmoid vaginoplasty over the course of long-term follow-up. Methods From March 1992 to February 2014, 84 patients were treated with rectosigmoid vaginoplasty; 44 had gender identity disorder, 29 had vaginal agenesis, 8 had female pseudohermaphroditism, and 3 had gynecologic malignancies after radical pelvic surgery. This retrospective study was based on a review of the patients' records, clinical examinations, complications, and questionnaires about appearance, function, and sexual intercourse. Results All patients who underwent rectosigmoid vaginoplasty were discharged within 2 weeks without surgical flap loss. The early complications were partial flap necrosis, difficulty in defecation, mucous hypersecretion, and postoperative ileus. The late complications were vaginal introitus contracture, vaginal prolapse, and difficulty in urination. The mean length and diameter of the neovagina 3.4 years after rectosigmoid vaginoplasty were 13.2 cm and 3.8 cm, respectively. On questionnaires about satisfaction, 70% of patients reported excellent satisfaction, 11% good, 12% fair, and 7% poor. Conclusions Rectosigmoid vaginoplasty is useful, safe, and well-accepted operative method with good functional and cosmetic results, such as natural lubrication and adequate vaginal length and width obtained without requiring the use of a dilator.

The purpose of this study was to examine the dietary habits of boarding high school students in Gangwon based on gender and stress levels. Questionnaires were distributed to 571 boarding high school students and collected from 491 students from June 28 to July 20, 2011. The statistical data analyses were completed using SPSS (ver. 19.0) for the descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test and $X^2$-test. The mean stress score was 23.7 out of 40, and male's stress was significantly higher than female's (p<0.05). The rates of having daily breakfast and dinner were significantly influenced by gender (p<0.01), and the regularity of lunch was significantly different depending on the stress level (p<0.05). Female students consumed less flour based foods (p<0.01), carbonated drinks (p<0.01), juices (p<0.05) and functional drinks (p<0.01) than male students, but male students consumed less cookies and breads (p<0.01). Dietary habits that boarding high school students should improve were an unbalanced diet (38%), too much intake at once (17%) and prejudice against foods (11%), and their primary value in dietary life was preference (33%), followed by staving off hunger (18%) and pleasure (18%). The average level of interest in dietary life was 2.46 (on a Likert-type 3-point scale) and it was significantly higher for female students (2.53) than male (2.40) (p<0.05). About 54% of students washed their hands before a meal when they thought of it, but only 25% of students always scrubbed up. The regularity of breakfast and dinner, frequency of snack intake, dietary habits that need to improve, intrest in dietary life, and washing hands before meals showed significant difference by gender but not by stress levels.
