이 연구는 지역사회 노인 여가시설의 이용에 따른 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 실증적으로 분석하기 위한 것이다. 이을 위해 광주광역시 노인건강타운을 이용하는 노인들을 대상으로 건강타운의 시설환경, 직원과 강사의 역량, 프로그램 만족도 등의 요인이 이용노인들의 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는지를 규명하여, 이용노인들의 삶의질 변화에 기여할수 있는 다각적이고 실천적 대안을 제공하고자 하였다. 조사방법은 광주광역시 노인건강타운을 이용하는 만60세 이상의 1,038명을 대상으로 설문지에 의한 자기기입방식과 조사원의 면접조사를 병행하여 실시하였다. 조사기간은2010년 12월 10일부터 12월15일까지였다. 분석결과, 노인들의 삶의 질 변화에 영향을 미치는 변인으로 학력(B=-.074, p<0.05), 강사만족도(B=.172, p<0.001), 직원만족도(B=.104, p<0.01), 시설 및 환경만족도(B=.217, p<0.001)였다. 즉, 학력이 낮은 노인일수록, 강사만족도가 높을수록, 직원만족도가 높을수록, 시설 및 환경만족도가 높을수록 삶의 질 변화에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 시설 및 환경만족도의 영향력이 상대적으로 높게 나타나 노인들의 삶의 질 변화를 위해서는 지역사회 노인이용 문화여가시설의 현대화와 쾌적한 환경조성이 병행되어야 함을 시사하고 있다.

Clinical study on hemodynamics of healthy elders before and after tread mill. Using doubleblind, placebo-controlled study design. Seventy-five 50-70 years old volunteers without organic disease were divided into two groups, Ginseng group and control group. Each subject was received 3 g Korea Red Ginseng (KRG) capsules or placebo per day for 4 weeks. Before and after administration 4 weeks, the symptoms were asked and hemodynamics parameter such as pump function, systolic function, preload and afterload were recorded before and after tread mill 1,5, 10 minutes by the method of thoracic impedance cardiograph. The result showed that Ginseng could improve quality of life, had obvious effect of increasing PEP (pre-ejection period), PEP/LVET (pre-ejection period/left ventricular ejection period), PCWP (wedged pressure pulmonary capillary). The change rate of HR (heart rate), SV (stroke volume) in KRG group were much lowered, while EF (ejection fraction), LVET (left ventricular ejection period), LVEDP (left ventricular end diastolic pressure) was recovered much quickly. The circulation showed Ginseng could improve the quality of life though its promoting circulation function which are increasing both the systolic function and the preload.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the level of importance perceived by caregivers of elderly on the education of long term care nursing assistants (LTCNAs) taking care of elders with dementia or stroke. Method: Data was collected from 296 participants (112 families, 98 NAs, and 86 RNs) from October 2006 to February 2007. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Result: The item of 'attitude while caring for the aged' was identified as most important. The family group reported that 'position change' and 'understanding of geriatric diseases' were the most important for education, while LTCNAs, highly identified, 'bathing', and 'bed sheet change'. The RNs group regarded 'position change', and 'bathing' as most important. Institutions demanding LTCNAs' activities were special facilities for elderly care and special hospitals for the aged, and the need was also high in families with an elder incapacitated by illness. Conclusion: Nurses need to take an interest in education for enhancing the quality of LTCNAs and thus advance the quality of nursing care as well as the quality of life for the aged.
