본 연구는 65세 이상 노인 중 당뇨병 진단을 받은 자를 대상으로 당뇨병과 구강건강과의 관련성 및 구강관리 실태를 분석하여 당뇨 환자를 위한 구강제품개발에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. D시의 노인복지관을 방문한 당뇨병 진단을 받은 65세 이상 노인 8명을 연구대상자로 하여 4명을 한 그룹으로 하고 그룹 당 약 40분의 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과 '당뇨와 구강건강', '구강 내 불편감', '구강관리방법', '치과방문', '구강관리를 위한 요구'의 5개의 핵심 주제가 도출되었다. 연구대상자의 대부분이 당뇨와 구강건강의 관련성에 대하여는 처음 들어본다고 대답하였고, 구강건강관리는 하루 3~4회 치약을 사용하여 잇솔질을 하고, 치과방문은 구강에 문제가 생겼을 때만 방문한다고 대답하였다. 구강관리에 필요하다고 생각하는 부분은 당뇨환자 맞춤 구강관리교육과 치약 등 다양한 관리제품들이 개발되었으면 좋을 것 같다고 대답하였다. 본 연구결과를 볼 때 향후 노인 당뇨 환자의 맞춤형 구강건강관리 프로그램개발 및 구강제품개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

이 연구는 노인정보화 활동수준과 자기효능감 그리고 생활만족 및 우울 간의 구조적 관계를 실증분석하여 시사점을 제시하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위해서 G광역시 및 자치구의 노인복지관에 등록하여 정보화교육에 참여하고 있는 노인 수강생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 22.0 통계프로그램을 활용하여 회귀분석과 계층적 회귀분석에 의한 연구가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과 노인정보화 활동수준은 자기효능감의 수준을 높여 주고, 노인정보화 활동수준과 자기효능감은 노인들의 생활만족의 수준은 높여 주었으며, 우울의 수준은 낮춰주는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 자기효능감은 노인정보화 활동수준과 생활만족 및 우울 간의 관계에서 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 기초로 하여 노인정보화 활동수준을 높여줄 수 있는 정책적 방안을 제시하였다.

Light is an essential environmental element for elderly people to do various activities. At senior welfare centers, healthy indoor lighting is especially necessary because the facilities are used by the elderly to perform their mostly indoor activities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate light environments at senior welfare centers for well-being lighting characteristics. We based the study on the 'Biophilia' theory, a concept related to health from happiness. Thus, this study is mainly based on literary review and survey research. For this, we conducted a location focused field study to identify the current state of the lighting environments at senior welfare centers in Busan, South Korea. First, we constructed structural questionnaire to evaluate lighting environment based on 'Light and Space' biophilia theory. Then, to survey subjective evaluation, the participant of research included total of 122 senior welfare center users. Based on the results of this research, the conclusions are as follows; 1) overall, it seems that the overall result of the light environmental evaluation seems to be high because the evaluated facilities in the case survey in large-scale were recently built elderly welfare centers. 2) most of the healing design elements are focused on the introduction of natural light and psychological influence. The satisfaction with actual natural light is evaluated to be high. Although shadow and reflected light are very important in discrimination and recognition of indoor space and wayfinding, the evaluation of reflected light and shadow was low for the study. 3) items that are related to the functionality of the light were highly evaluated, while the items that are related to the spatiality of the light were rated poorly. This study has its significance when examining the effects of light environments within the welfare center form of the perspective of senior citizens. It can be referenced when reconsidering the recognition of light environment as a major consideration factor to establish a desirable senior welfare center environment.

In many countries the demographics clearly informs us that an aging population represent a serious problem. To this extent senior citizens welfare does matter it has developed into a public debate and genuine concern. it seems that the social issues are focused on how the socity views the social welfare policies. In a modern welfare state where the emphasis lies in pursing a high standard of living and thereby high quality of life. This does not cover the very well the old people in society, but the government clearly carries an obligation to look after and care for the retired & old people in the society. This obligation the social and economic impact that an old person faces as he/she grows old. it is important ensure that their lives carries a meaning and that they as a group will not be estranged from the mainstream of society just because they are considered to be part of the aging population. The key issues that must be addressed are 1) The impact of reduced spending power from less income. a lower income stream; 2) increasing health problems and costs; 3) the natural degradation of ones physical & mental powers; 4) and thereby an isolation from the public in general. So clearly the social policy related to the old people in society should be developed with the consent of what they believe is important to them. To ensure their minimum income level that a beneficiary of an old person's pension will receive, the monthly pension should be reflected by the official price index and be adjusted accordingly. by making the job market open for the senior citizens, expending the mandatory retirement age, give companiesincentives to hire senior citizens, there maybe an opportunity to extend to the aging population the possibility to continue to participate in the society at large.

Canada is a democratic country, yet it keeps a social democratic system in which the government is in charge of welfare of its people. And this is one of the most significant features about the country. Her public and private pension system has been effective since the 1920s, securing its people's fundamental income. In particular, the public medical system applies to its every citizen and performs its role. This system is called the National Medical System as well as "MEDICARE" named after its related law. However, there has been a significant change in the national medical and welfare policy due to the budget deficit. In other words, the policy was mainly implemented to welfare facilities in the past, but the policy changed to a welfare policy for the elderly with a concentration on the support for self-reliance of senior citizens since the reform. The purpose of this study is to provide data and implications for Korea through the analysis of the current situation and distinct features of the housing welfare system in Canada. This study has researched the literature on the subject with an analytic focus on three aspects that are the fundamental frame of the system, essential content (support for self-reliance and facility composition), and distinct features of the housing for the elderly. In other words, they are, first, how the fundamental frame of the housing welfare system for the elderly is composed; second, how the service for self-reliance welfare and facility service are composed; and third, what their scale and distinct spatial features of general houses for the elderly with self-reliance are. A comparative study was conducted in detail on courses and characteristics of the housing welfare system for senior citizens in Canada and the USA of North America. In particular, it reveals the scale and distinct spatial features of public houses for the elderly with self-reliance in British Columbia (BC) which is one of the main provinces of Canada.

노령이란 본질적으로 건강이 쇠퇴하는 시기이다. 육체적으로나 정신적으로 매우 허약해지고, 장애의 발생이 높아 다른 사람에게 의존 가능성이 커지는 시기이다. 노인의료보호를 시도하는 국가로, 호주, 일본, 한국 등 일반 적용 체계를 채택하고 있는 나라에서는 최근 노인을 위한 장기보호 보험체계 개발을 위해 노력 중에 있다. 이는 가족구조의 변화로 인해 가정 외에서 장기보호의 해결책을 찾기 위한 것이다. 노인의 보건과 복지의 전반에 연결 지을 수 있는 단일법에 의해 종합적이고 체계적으로 규율되는 방식이 적당하다고 본다. 특히 노인이라는 특수한 계층의 사회복지서비스영역으로 보더라도 노인에 관해서는 다른 사회복지의 영역보다 보건과 복지의 통합화가 강하게 요구되기 때문이다. 물론, 노인복지법과 같은 법률이 반드시 필요한 것은 아닐 것이다. 서구 선진복지국가들 중에는 노인복지법과 같은 개별 법률이 없어도 우리나라보다 훨씬 충분한 노인복지를 누리고 있는 나라도 많다.

우리나라의 평균수명이 1970년 평균 62.3세, 2016년 82.3세로 평균수명이 20년 이상 연장되면서 고령화 사회를 걸쳐 초고령화 시대에 접어들 것으로 예상되어 진다. 노인의 4苦인 빈곤, 고독, 무의, 질환의 문제는 사회문제로 대두되어 지고 있다. 노인복지정책으로 2004년부터 노인 일자리사업(사회활동 지원사업)을 진행하였다. 목적은 첫째, 일을 통한 적극적 사회참여, 소득보충 및 건강증진 등으로 노인문제 예방 및 사회적 비용 절감, 둘째, 다양한 일자리를 통한 건강한 노후생활 영위를 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 노인 일자리사업(사회활동 지원사업) 참여 전과 참여 후의 설문조사를 통하여 노인 일자리사업(사회활동 지원사업)이 사업 목적에 부응하게 소득보충이 아닌 사회참여를 통하여 건강증진과 건강한 노후생활을 통하여 노후 삶에 대한 질 향상이 되었는지를 연구했다. 이 연구를 통하여 노인 일자리사업(사회활동 지원사업)이 지속적으로 노인의 소득보충과 더불어 사회참여의 기회를 더욱 넓힐 수 있는 계기를 마련하고자 했다.
