Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a nursing assessment tool for senior center nurses, and to test its feasibility and content validity. Methods: The study utilized a psychometric test design. Preliminary items were developed based on geriatric health needs and Gordon's 11 domains of functioning health. Initially, the tool was evaluated for content validity and feasibility. Then, it was administered among 195 older adults in a senior center by a gerontological nurse practitioner. Data were analyzed to describe the nursing problems of the senior center older adults. Results: The final version of the nursing assessment tool consisted of 27 items. The internal consistency, measured with the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, was .74. The result of the assessment showed that senior center older adults had high nursing needs in the area of management of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and lipids), dental care, community relations, safety, elder abuse, health behaviors (such as drinking), mental health (depression, suicide, and cognitive function), and health consultations. Conclusion: The new tool was feasible for use with senior center participants, and it was evaluated as having high content validity by senior center nurses.

This study was performed to estimate stressful life events, self-esteem and perceived health status in the elderly persons and to compare degree of self-esteem and perceived health status according to experience of stressful life events and general characteristics. The data was collected from 179 elders in a rural community. Data collection was done from October 20 to December 6, 1997. A comparison of self-esteem and perceived health status by experience of stressful life events and general characteristics was summarized as follows : 1) Eighty three persons, $46.4\%$ of the surveyed, have experienced stressful life events, including disease(54 persons) and death of family member(l2 persons). 2) Thirty eight percents of the surveyed persons evaluated they are not healthy. The average score of perceived health status of the elderly was 2.88± .92 for the scale of 5, which represents the healthiest status. 3) There were significant differences on the self-esteem score in the elderly according to having a spouse or not(t=3.51. p=.00l), having family members living together or not(t=2.98. p=.003) and socioeconomic status(F=7.08. p=.00l). 4) There were significant differences on the perceived health status in the elderly according to experience of stressful life events(t=3.51. p=.00l), having family members living together or not(t=2.09, p= .038) and socioeconomic status(F=6.56, p=.002). 5) Positive correlation was observed between self-esteem and perceived health(r= .5037, p=.000). The above results imply that support of family and society should be reinforced to improve self-respect and health of aged persons, and that it is desirable to build up social and economic environment promoting health status through daily life.

본 연구의 목적은 "한국노년학" 학회지에 40년간 게재된 보건 의료 건강분야 연구의 동향을 전반적으로 고찰하고 "한국노년학" 연구의 다학문적 특성과 관련하여 보건 의료 건강 부분이 나아갈 방향을 조망하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 한국노년학 창간호부터 2017년 12월 말까지 40년간 게재된 논문 중 2008년 30주년에 "한국노년학" 1권(1980년)부터 28권(2008년) 2호까지에 게재된 논문 중 건강 간호분야 및 노인보건정책 논문 분석 연구를 검토하고, 최근 10년간 게재된 논문(2008년 3호~2017년 4호) 총 655편 중 237편(전체의 36.2%)을 대상으로 분석하였고, 다음과 같은 연구동향을 확인하였다. 첫째, 최근 10년간의 연구 주제를 대표저자의 전공별로 분석한 결과 보건, 의료, 간호, 체육 분야 저자들은 주로 신체적 건강 주제의 연구를 수행하였고 복지분야 저자들은 정신적 건강 주제의 연구를 주로 다뤘다. 즉, 전반적으로 보건 의료 건강 영역에서는 신체적 건강의 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 둘째, 연구방법 분석결과, 최근 10년간 연구에서는 양적연구가 89.9%를 차지하고 있었고, 지난 30년간(1980-2008)의 연구에서도 양적연구가 81.5%로 대다수를 차지하고 있다. 최근 10년간 수행 된 질적연구는 총 11편으로 나타나 양적연구에 비해 비중이 작은 것으로 나타났으며, 포커스그룹 인터뷰 방법을 활용한 연구가 33.3%로 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 연구유형은 지난 30년간의 분석에서는 비실험연구가 82.7%였지만, 최근 10년간의 연구에서는 비실험연구가 65.4%를 차지하고 있는 것으로 나타나 보건 의료 건강영역에서 문제해결을 위한 실험연구가 증가하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 넷째, 연구대상은 최근 10년간의 연구에서 건강한 노인, 도시거주 노인, 재가 노인 대상으로 한 연구가 많은 비중을 차지하였으며, 대상노인의 연령은 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 한 연구가 60.0%로 지난 30년간의 연구에서의 42.7%보다 그 비중이 증가하였다. 대상노인의 성별에 따라 연구동향은 최근 10년간의 연구에서 남녀 모두를 대상으로 한 연구가 81.6%로 나타나 지난 30년 연구의 88.5%에 비해 조금 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 최근 10년간 보다 다양한 연구 접근이 시도되긴 하였으나 여전히 신체건강을 주제로 비실험연구설계를 적용하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있었다. 향후 노인 건강증진연구에서 통합적 다학제적 접근 및 예방적 사전적 관점의 필요성과 함께 급속한 고령화를 경험하고 초고령화가 임박한 한국적 상황을 다각적으로 분석할 수 있는 종단 연구, 질적 연구, 메타 분석 등 다양한 연구방법을 통한 심층적이고 체계적인 연구설계의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention in nursing home. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study. Data have been collected from 125 care workers in 5 nursing homes. Data were analyzed using frequency, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: 1) The average percentage of correct answers for care workers' fall-related knowledge was 72.2%. There were significant differences in fall-related knowledge by age, experiences of re-education about care for fall injuries, and experiences to transfer fall patients to another hospital. 2) The average level of care workers' caring behaviors for fall prevention was 3.81 points out of 4. There were significant differences by experiences of education about care for fall injuries in nursing home and concern of fall injury prevention. 3) There was a significant correlation between fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention (r=.320, p<.001). Conclusion: The level of fall-related knowledge is positively correlated to the level of caring behaviors for fall prevention. Therefore, nurses should prepare education programs to increase care workers' fall-related knowledge and caring behaviors for fall prevention.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional study was to examine relationships among emotional labor, self-efficacy, and burnout of employees in public health centers. Factors that influence burnout of workers were also assessed. Methods: One hundred sixty six workers in public health centers completed a pack of self-report questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA along with $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Employees in public health centers seemed to experience emotional labor to some extent. There were statistically significant differences in burnout depending on the age of workers. Employees' burnout had a positive relationship with emotional labor and a negative relationship with self-efficacy. Factors influencing burnout of employees in public health centers were emotional dissonance, surveillance & monitoring of organization, age, and self-efficacy. Conclusion: Considering the findings from this study, health care providers need to develop effective interventions which increase the level of self-efficacy and decrease certain types of emotional labor for employees in public health centers and to help them effectively manage burnout.
