Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Wheel of Wellness counseling on wellness lifestyle, depression, and health-related quality of life in community dwelling elderly people. Methods: A parallel, randomized controlled, open label, trial was conducted. Ninety-three elderly people in a senior welfare center were randomly assigned to two groups: 1) A Wheel of Wellness counseling intervention group (n=49) and 2) a no-treatment control group (n=44). Wheel of Wellness counseling consisted of structured, individual counseling based on the Wheel of Wellness model and provided once a week for four weeks. Wellness lifestyle, depression, and health-related quality of life were assessed pre-and post-test in both groups. Results: Data from 89 participants were analyzed. For participants in the experimental group, there was a significant improvement on all of the wellness-lifestyle subtasks except realistic beliefs. Perceived wellness and depression significantly improved after the in the experimental group (n=43) compared to the control group (n=46) from pre- to post-test in the areas of sense of control (p =.033), nutrition (p =.017), exercise (p =.039), self-care (p <.001), stress management (p =.017), work (p =.011), perceived wellness (p =.019), and depression (p =.031). One participant in the intervention group discontinued the intervention due to hospitalization and three in the control group discontinued the sessions. Conclusions: Wheel of Wellness counseling was beneficial in enhancing wellness for the community-dwelling elderly people. Research into long-term effects of the intervention and health outcomes is recommended.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyse researches on nursing intervention for elderly health promotion. Method: A literature review of 38 researches was carried out using guidelines developed by the present researchers. Result: The research papers studied in this research were theses written for doctoral or master's degree and published between 1994 to 2004. These researches applied nursing intervention for health promotion of elders and used experimental study design. The average period of nursing intervention was about 9 weeks and the average frequency was three times per week. As for major characteristics of subject groups, most of them were over 65 years old (76.3%) and resided in community (65.8%), and each group consisted of 10 to 29 elders. The dependent variables used in these studies included physiological variables (blood pressure, blood cholesterol level, pulmonary function, fasting blood sugar, blood cortisol level, body mass etc.), psychologic variables (depression, quality of life, life satisfaction, loneliness, anxiety etc.), cognitive variables (perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, self-concept, subjective health status etc.), activities of daily livings, health promotion behavior, pain, risks of fall, and variables related to Trans Theoretical Model. The majority of these studies (78.9%) applied exercise programs for health promotion including exercise motivating programs (15.8%). Conclusion: We suggest that more various nursing interventions must be applied to promote elders' health and to take care of their chronic diseases.

Purpose: This study tries to analyze the concept of Yangsaeng in the Korean aged, with focus on nursing. Methods: Rodgers' evolutionary approach was used to identify the common definitions, attributes, antecedents, and consequences of the Yangsaeng concept for the aged. Literature search was conducted at the NAL, NDSL, RISS, ProQuest, PubMed, AMED, and MEDLINE databases from 2004 to 2016, using the keywords "Yangsaeng," "health promotion," "health management," "traditional oriental methods," and "traditional oriental nursing."Finally, 20 relevant articles were selected and thoroughly reviewed. Results: The analysis shows that the model of Yangsaeng for the Korean aged is that of personal adaptive-capacity, totality, challenging, and coping resource and includes physical, social and psychological health and wellness. Conclusion: This work provides some implications on the development of nursing intervention related with Yangsaeng for the Korean aged, and suggests the implementation of such intervention in the practice of Yangsaeng for the Korean aged. Therefore, a better understanding of the Korean aged and Yangsaeng within the context of nursing can be achieved.

최근 건강증진을 위한 장소로서 산림을 이용하는 활동이 활발하게 일어나고 있다. 산림청에서는 산림을 이용하여 웰빙과 건강증진을 실현하기 위한 새로운 융복합적 시도를 하였으며, 이를 '산림치유'라 정의하고, 치유의 숲을 조성하여 산림치유서비스를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 현재 치유의 숲은 대도시와 접근성이 떨어지는 위치에 조성되어 있어 치유활동이 필요한 교통약자들이 산림치유 활용에 어려움이 있다. 또한, 현재 치유의 숲 조성을 위한 면적기준은 대도시의 파편화된 산림 면적에는 적합하지 않기 때문에 대도시 치유의 숲 조성에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 대도시 치유의 숲에 대한 적정 면적기준을 도출하기 위하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 기존의 도시숲을 활용한 야외공간에 대한 조성면적 기준 현황을 검토하고, 치유활동이 필요한 교통약자의 보행권을 조사하여, 면적기준과 보행권의 분석을 복합적으로 진행하였다. 도시자연공원, 관광단지 등 유사 야외휴양공간의 면적기준에 비하여 치유의 숲 면적 기준은 대도시 환경에 맞추어 세분화되어 있지 않았다. 또한, 교통약자의 보행권을 고려하여 대도시 치유의 숲 조성을 위한 최소 면적기준을 산출한 결과, 국공유림 25만제곱미터 이상, 사유림 15만제곱미터 이상으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 대도시 지역의 치유의 숲 적정 면적기준에 대한 정책적 근거로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 스마트매트와 카메라 센서를 이용한 가상현실 체험형 운동게임 시스템 설계 및 구현하였다. 사용자 상반신 운동자세인식을 위해 키넥트 카메라 센서를 활용하고 사용자의 걷기 동작을 정확하게 인식하고 다음 취해야할 걷기 운동 동작에 대한 가이드를 제공하기 위해서 LED 표시가 가능한 스마트 매트를 개발하였다. 이를 통합하고 기능성 게임의 재미요소를 결합하여 실제 운동 상황에서 사용자에게 실시간으로 상호작용 정보를 제공하는 가상현실 체험형 운동게임 통합 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 사용자들이 보다 자립적이고 독립적으로 가정 및 건강증진 관련 기관에서 쉽게 운동하는데 기여하는 체험형 운동게임 시스템으로 활용될 것이다.
