건강관리 서비스를 통한 고령자의 건강증진 효과에 관련한 연구는 그 동안 많이 진행되어 왔지만 정작 건강관리 서비스를 효과적으로 제공하기 위해 고령자들의 니즈를 파악한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 도시, 농촌간의 지역별 특징과 수요를 분석을 통해 고령자 건강관리 서비스의 방향성을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 도심지역과 농촌지역별 고령자의 건강관련 프로그램 이용현황 및 건강관리방법과 건강관리 서비스 형태 및 콘텐츠에 대한 지역별 수요 분석을 통하여 맞춤형 건강관리 서비스 모델의 개선 방향을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate predictors of depression among elderly who have received visiting health services in public health centers. Method: The data has been collected from 678 elderly living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province during the period from February 21 to June 30 in 2006. The data were collected by individual interview and were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analysis with the SAS 9.1 program. Result: Among elderly, 73.8% of them showed depression. The elderly with higher level of socioeconomic status (${\beta}=0.136$, p=0.019) and higher level of social support including family support(${\beta}=-0.018$, p<.0001), friend's support(${\beta}=-0.025$, p<.0001) and special person's support (${\beta}=-0.021$, p<.0001) show lower levels of depression. In addition, elderly with perceived good health status (${\beta}=0.119$, p<.0001) feel less depression than those who have poor health condition. Conclusion: These findings suggest that low socioeconomic status and lower level of social support among elderly should be considered to decrease depression. These findings would contribute to health education, designing interventions and program development for appropriate depression management for the elderly.

The aging of the population has a fundamental impact on the national economy, including decline in productive population, atrophy of available funds, slowdown of technological innovation, slowdown of economic growth, and decrease in vitality of society as a whole. Increase of elderly population would lead to increase in elderly welfare consumers, which would also lead to increase the demand for elderly welfare services. However, due to the continuation of the low birth rate, there is a great shortage of human resources who can handle this. In such a situation, the main goal of the elderly welfare system in the future should aim to actively try to design effective policies, prepare systems, and implement services for the problems of the aged society, and to find ways to expand the finances, manpower, methods, and facilities necessary for the welfare of the elderly. Elderly welfare services in Korea have been changed and developed in accordance with socioeconomic changes such as industrialization and urbanization. This study examines the changes in elderly welfare services in Korea by the flow of times and presents a method which utilizes artificial intelligence and Internet of Things in services for the elderly welfare consumers to improve both quality and efficiency.

The Japanese elderly welfare policy has focused on facility policy for the aged and preventive care service for healthy elderly people. This paper has conducted a comparative analysis on Geriatric Gealth Services Facility and Special Nursing Home for the Elderly. For this, each service function has been divided into six categories; daily life / nursing and caring / medical service / management / supply / miscellaneous. Then the change in real structure by category has been analyzed through a plan analysis on case facilities. In the Geriatric Health Services Facility, the biggest change was observed in 'livelihood' among six categories. In the Special Nursing Home for the Elderly, 'the nursing and care parts' and 'medical service part' are decreased since 1999. At that time, the facilities started to be individualized and divided into a unit. To pursue home-like care instead of unit care, there was a change in construction planning to help the aged with dementia live a self-sufficient life.

만성질환보유 저소득 노인의 삶의 질 향상과 의료비절감을 위해서는 지역사회 보건복지서비스와 병의원서비스간의 연계가 중요하다. 본 논문은 서울시 복지패널데이터를 이용하여 병의원 의료서비스와 지역사회 보건복지서비스간의 연계 욕구 및 실태를 분석하기 위하여 병의원서비스 이용경험이 지역사회 보건복지서비스 이용(욕구)에 미치는 영향을 로짓분석하였다. 분석결과 입원경험이 있는 노인들은 입원경험이 없는 노인에 비해 지역사회 보건복지서비스에의 욕구가 더 높음에도 불구하고 실제로 해당 서비스를 더 많이 받지 못하고 있었다. 또한 외래이용경험이 없는 저소득 만성질환노인은 외래경험이 있는 노인에 비해 지역사회 보건서비스에의 욕구는 더 높았으나 실제 이용률은 더 높지 않았다. 결론적으로 볼 때 우리나라 병의원 의료서비스와 지역사회 서비스간의 연계가 긴밀하게 이루어지지 않고 있음을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 농어촌지역 노인을 대상으로 노인정신건강서비스 이용의향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명한다. 이를 위해 Andersen과 Newman 모델에 근거하여 선행요인, 가능성요인, 그리고 욕구요인으로 구분하여 노인의 정신건강서비스 이용의향을 살펴보았다. 분석대상은 부산광역시의 농어촌지역 노인 335명이며, 사전에 훈련받은 연구조사원에 의해 방문조사하였다. 연구 결과는 노인의 정신건강서비스 이용의향에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 선행요인에서는 학력, 독거여부, 조손가구여부, 가능성요인에서는 사회활동참여정도와 서비스 인지도로 나타났다. 따라서 노인정신건강서비스의 개발 및 활성화가 필요하고, 정신건강서비스 대상 선정에 있어 독거노인과 조손가구 노인을 우선적으로 고려해야 한다. 또한 노인의 정신건강서비스 인지도와 사회활동 참여를 높이기 위한 다양한 방법을 활용해야 할 것이다.
