Purpose: To investigate the relationships among stress, depression, family function, and activities of daily living in elderly females. Methods: Using a descriptive correlation for the study design, data was collected from 134 elderly females older than 60 years of age. Result: The level of depression among the subjects was 6.04($\pm5.30$) and level of stress was 1.62($\pm.70$). The performance capacity of the activities of daily living was 17.79($\pm0.87$), and the instrumental activities of daily living was 22.33($\pm2.66$). The family function was 2.82($\pm3.47$). Depression and stress showed a positive correlation(p<.001) and had a negative correlation with family function(p=.025), as the correlation with instrumental activities of daily living was negatively related(p=.008). Stress had a positive relationship with family function(p<.001). and was negatively related to instrumental activities of daily living (p=.041). Conclusion: For health promotion of elderly females, it is critical to make an effort to establish and constantly develop a program, as well as policy for the health of the elderly considering and understanding gender differences.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a program for increasing self-care with activities of daily living among the elderly living at home. Methods: The study adopted a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The number of participants were 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Participants were persons aged 65 years and above in Busan. The experimental group was provided with for 16 different types of self-care behaviors by family nurses who made weekly home visits to these participants. Each visit lasted for more than 30 minutes, and the visits were conducted for 12 weeks. The research instrument used in this study was a scale developed by Shimanouchi et al. (2003) which assessed self-care behavior, activities of daily living, and depression. Results: The experimental group showed an increase in self-care behavior compared to the control group. Time and group variables were also found to have an interaction effect on the daily living activity level. The experimental group showed an increase in the activities of daily living compared to the control group.

This study evaluated 26 elderly residents living independently in 4 group homes for their abilities in daily living and analyzed their behaviors of space occupancy and activities of daily living. The aim of the study was to identify the relationships between the physical environments of the group homes and the daily activities of the residents. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1) Most residents in the group home considered bathing and cooking to be the most difficult of their living activities. The residents were categorized into "Independent," "Semi-dependent" and "Dependent" groups, on the basis of their ADL and IADL scores, and individual groups were examined. On ADL scorelt was shown, then, that 65.4% of the residents were was independent in ADL, but there was no any significant difference in IADL between the independent, semi-dependent and dependent groups. In addition, there was a difference in ADL and IADL among the groups. The independent group's residents were shown to be independent in ADL and IADL, whereas the but those of the semi-dependent and dependent groups' residents were lower in IADL than in ADL. 2) When their behaviors of space occupancy were examined, it appeared that the independent group showed a different space sharing pattern among individual residents, with a wide range of behavior of space occupancy. Meanwhile, The semi-dependent group mostly shared a common space with simple activities of daily living while no any service low leisure program was provided. However, the dependent group mainly consisted of residents who had a low level of independence in ADL and IADL, so that their behaviors of space occupancy were entirely negative.

연구목적: 노인의 주관적 건강 수준과 ADL(Activities of Daily Living), IADL(Instrumental Activities of Daily Living)의 관계를 통해 집단 간 동질성과 이질성을 살펴보고자 한다. 연구방법: 2014년도 노인실태조사를 이용하여 주관적 건강 수준을 독립변수로 ADL과 IADL의 제한을 종속변수로 설정하였다. 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였으며 성별로 비교하였다. 연구결과: 남성 노인에 비해 여성 노인이, 사회경제적 수준이 낮고 연령이 높은 노인일수록 주관적 건강 수준이 낮으며 ADL과 IADL의 제한이 있었다. 주관적 건강 수준이 낮을수록 ADL과 IADL에서 제한을 가질 확률이 높은 것으로 관찰되었다. 특히 그 관계는 여성 노인에 비해 남성 노인에서 뚜렷이 나타난다. 연구 결과를 통해 여성 노인의 취약성을 파악하는 한편, 중증도가 높은 질병에 국한해 본인의 건강 수준을 인지하는 남성 노인의 특성을 이해할 수 있었다. 결론: 노인의 삶을 이해하고 노인 정책을 시행하는데 있어 성인지적 접근과 더불어 주관적 건강 수준을 비롯한 다양한 지표를 활용하는 노력이 필요하다.

Three hundred and forty five industrial accident disabled were randomly selected among who have stayed in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi area and who were confirmed as the disabled classified according to its severity from the first to fourteenth grade between January, 1998 to December, 2000. Data were collected for one month between August 1, 2001 to August 31, 2001. Each study team was consisted of two members of researcher among 20 members and interviewed the disabled individually by visiting their home. Collected data were analyzed from the frequency, percentages, Correlation, etc. The mean score of ability of daily living was 136.3 out of possible 147. The mean score of depression was 31.5 out of possible 64. The mean score of quality of life was 20.1 out of possible 32. The relationship between ability of daily living and depression was significantly correlated and between depression and quality of life was significantly correlated and between ability of daily living and quality of life was significantly correlated. The industrial accident disabled had been in bad health or faced by difficulties in daily activities even after the completion of therapy for the disability. Especially, they are depressed and perceive lowly their quality of life. So, the rehabilitation program for the disabled should be psychosocial oriented program and a comprehensive service.

Purpose : This study evaluated the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and a virtual reality program on the depression, hand functions, cognitive function, and activities of daily living of patients with mild cognitive impairment by dividing 20 patients with mild cognitive impairment and depression. The 20 patients were divided into a treatment group (transcranial direct current stimulation + a virtual reality program) and a control group (placebo transcranial direct current stimulation + a placebo virtual reality program). Methods : This study allocated ten subjects to the treatment group and ten subjects to the control group. The treatment was given five times per week for six weeks (30 sessions), and each session was 30 minutes. This study screened depression by using SGDS-K, a short geriatric depression scale, to examine depression before and after treatment intervention. This study also used the box and block test, NCSE, and FIM to evaluate hand functions, cognitive function, and activities of daily living, respectively. Results : The results showed that depression significantly decreased, hand functions significantly increased, cognitive function significantly improved, and activities of daily living significantly increased after intervention in the treatment and control groups. The magnitude of changes in depression, hand functions, cognitive function, and activities of daily living was significantly different between the two groups after intervention (p>.05). Conclusion : The results showed that the application of transcranial direct current stimulation and a virtual reality program could improve cognitive function, hand functions, and activities of daily living by decreasing depression. Therefore, it can be concluded that the simultaneous application of transcranial direct current stimulation and a virtual reality program is an intervention method, which can be applied for decreasing depression, enhancing hand functions, improving cognitive function, and increasing activities of daily living in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
