This study was designed to investigate the nature and magnitude of disability among non-institutionalized elderly in urban area(Seoul city). From November 1987, through December 1987, 1,054 individuals aged over 65 years from the sampled of clustered random sampling method were interviewed in person. The physical disability findings support the well known relationship between physical disability and age. The magnitude of disability, however, is not as great as conventional wisdom might suggest. And this paper reports results on the prevalence of social disability : housekeeping transportation, food prepatation, grocery shopping, social interaction, intellectual activity, and social role. The magnitude of social disability increase with advancing age. Women, in general, report a higher degree of social disability than man. These findings are compared with other investigations of physical and social disability among the elderly.

태아기의 성 호르몬의 차이가 두 번째 손가락과 네 번째 손가락 길이의 비율을 비롯하여 여러가지 생리적 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 연구가 발표된 이후 관련 연구가 많이 진행되어 오고 있다. 그러나 우리나라 장애인을 대상으로 한 연구는 드물다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라 장애인과 일반학생을 대상으로 손가락 비율 비교 및 장애인의 특성을 실증적으로 분석해 보았다. 그 결과, 장애인과 일반학생 모두에 있어 남자의 손가락 검지와 약지 길이 비율이 여자보다 낮아, 남녀별 성차가 있다는 일반적 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다. 다음으로, 남자와 여자 장애인 모두에서 나이대별 손가락 길이 비율은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나, 일반인과 마찬가지로 장애인도 성장과정에서 검지와 약지 길이 비율이 크게 변하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 남자와 여자 지적 장애인 모두에 대하여 장애등급별 손가락 길이 비율도 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타난 바, 이로부터 손가락 검지와 약지 길이 비율이 장애여부와 관계가 있다는 점에 근거하면 현재의 장애등급 구분은 문제가 있다고 하겠다.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in sociodemographic characteristics, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and healthcare needs among disabled persons with and without language disorder. Methods : Using raw data from the National Survey of the Disabled Person (2017), this study compared 6,320 disabled persons without language disorder and 229 disabled person with language disorder among 6,549 persons with disabilities. The dependent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, IADL, and healthcare needs. Results : People with language disorder were younger (p<.001), illiterate (p<.001), and had higher family income (p=.003) than people without language disorder. In addition, people with language disorder had a higher disability grade than people without language disorder (p<.001), and the percentages of brain injury, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability were higher among type of disability (p<.001). People with language disorder showed significantly higher dependence on all items of IADL than people without language disorder (p<.001). As the first-ranked healthcare need, people without language disorder had the highest percentage of "chronic illness management," and people with language disorder had the highest percentage of "disability management" (p<.001). Conclusion : The findings of the current investigation suggest that health care services are needed to improve IADL in people with language disorder and that the development of a disability management program for people with language disorder is required.

This paper discusses American disability theater's representations of disability identity and disability identity politics. Dramatists John Belluso and Lynn Manning, among others, present characters with disabilities who experience oppressions at multiple, interlocking levels of domination on the basis of disability, race, and ethnicity. In Manning's Shoot, the black, blind hero iterates episodes in which he experienced discrimination and insults in encounters with whites who used derogatory racist words or belittled him and with some school children who taunted him for just being blind. This play, as in Manning's solo performance, Weights, presents narratives of a blind person traversing multiple locations of oppression in "a long litany of losses" in a white-dominated and ableist society. Belluso's Gretty Good Time similarly weaves together stories of disabled women, Gretty and Hideko, who bond together to resist the dominant ideology that reduces them into titillating commodities of mass consumption. Hideko's story serves the two-fold function of both affirming the specificity of her individual experience as an ethnic other and espousing the communal experience of stigmatization she shares with other disabled women like Gretty. In these plays, the intersection of the identity categories of disability, race, and ethnicity highlights the diversity of the body and the fluidity of boundaries, foregounding the specificity of disabled bodies, while at the same time overthrowing the hierarchical binarism between disabled and "normal" bodies.

This study estimated the burden of disease due to hypertension in Korea in disability-adjusted life years(DALYs) using vital registration data and the National Health Examination Survey data. Firstly, we estimated the years life lost due to premature death (YLLs) of hypertension using the vital registration data. Secondly, to calculate the years lived with disability (YLDs), we estimated the average age at onset and disease duration using the National Health Examination Survey data. The disability weights for hypertension were estimated by person trade off method. Finally, the burden of hypertension was calculated in DALYs, which are the sum of YLLs and YLDs. The burden of hypertension for males was attributed mainly to YLD(97.9%). DALYs for females were also attributed mainly to YLD(96.7%). DALYS for males were 993,950 person-years and for females were 743,282 person-years. Results of this study provide a rational basis to plan a national health policy regarding the disease burden of hypertension in Korea. We will need accurate epidemiological study results and other study results of national burden of disease in Korea to get more accurate results of this burden of disease study.

In Korea, the elderly is defined as the person aged over 65 and the disabled is defined as the person who is registered with Ministry of Health and Welfare. In 2008, the elderly with disabilities was about 770,000. Korea was already poised for an aging society in 2000 and is ahead of and aged society in 2018 and a super aged society in 2026. So, the number of the elderly with disabilities will continue to grow. Various oral diseases can be seen in the elderly with disabilities due to the systemic disease and impaired self oral care, in addition to the physiological aging. Particularly, we should be care for the aspiration pneumonia, which is the major cause of the death of the elderly. As a professional for the special care dentistry, we should understand the general and dental, individual characteristics of the elderly with disabilities and do proper oral care and treatment. Thereby, the quality of life of the patients might be improved.

Objectives: This study estimated the burden of disease especially caused by psychiatric disorders in Korea by using DALY, a composite indicator that was recently developed by the Global Burden of Disease study group. Methods: First, 11 of the major psychiatric disorders in Korea were selected based on the ICD-10. Second, the burden of disease due to premature death was estimated by using YLLs (years of life lost due to premature death). Third, for the calculation of the YLD (years lived with disability), the following parameters were estimated in the formula: the incidence rate, the prevalence rate and the disability weight of each psychiatric disorder. Last, we estimated the DALY of the psychiatric disorders by adding the YLLs and YLDs. Results: The burden of psychiatric disorder per 100,000 people was attributed mainly to unipolar major depression (1,278 person-years), schizophrenia (638 person-years) and alcohol use disorder (287 person-years). For males, schizophrenia (596 person-years) and alcohol use disorder (491 person-years) caused the highest burden. For females, unipolar major depression (1,749 person-years) and schizophrenia (680 person-years) cause the highest burden. As analyzed by gender and age group, alcohol use disorder causes a higher burden than schizophrenia in men aged 40 years and older. For females, unipolar major depression causes the highest burden in all age groups. Conclusions: We found that each of the psychiatric disorders that cause the highest burden is different according to gender and age group. This study's results can provide a rational basis to plan a national health policy regarding the burden of disease caused by psychiatric disorders.

본 연구의 목적은 Antonak(1982)이 개발한 SADP and ATDP-O(Scale of Attitudes for Disabled Persons and Attitudes towards Disabled Persons Scale-Original)척도의 타당도를 검증하고 국내에서의 활용방안을 모색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 공무원, 의료인, 교사, 언론인, 장애인복지시설 종사자로 구성된 표적집단과 일반집단으로 구분한 비장애인 500명을 표집하여 척도의 타당도 및 신뢰도를 검증하고, 표적집단과 일반집단 간의 장애인에 대한 태도 차이를 비교하였다. 탐색적 요인분석 결과, 원 척도는 '염세주의-고정관념', '낙관주의-인권', '손상된 성격' 세 가지 차원의 15개 문항으로 정리되었고, 확인적 요인분석 결과, 재구성한 척도의 적합성은 수용할만한 수준(good/reasonable fit)인 것으로 나타났다. 전체척도의 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ 값은 .8이 넘어 안정적인 신뢰도를 보였으며, DFS(Disability Factor Scale)와는 전반적으로 높은 수준에서 통계적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 나타내 수렴타당도가 확보되었다. 또한 표적집단이 일반집단보다 장애인에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 지닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 타당도가 검증된 도구는 다양한 장애유형에 활용할 수 있도록 장애유형별 검증이 필요하며, 척도의 활용으로 장애인에 대한 태도를 개선하기 위한 임상적, 실천적 방안이 모색되어야 할 것이다.
