Purpose: Patients with brain damage suffer from limitations in performing the activities of daily living (ADL) because of their motor function and visual perception impairment. The aim of this study was to help improve the motor function and visual perception ability of patients with brain damage by providing them with virtual reality-based contents. The usability results of the patients and specialists group were also evaluated. Methods: The ADL contents consisted of living room, kitchen, veranda, and convenience store, similar to a real home environment, and these were organized by a rehabilitation specialist (e.g., neurologist, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist). The contents consisted of tasks, such as turning on the living room lights, organizing the drawers, organizing the kitchen, watering the plants on the veranda, and buying products at convenience stores. To evaluate the usability of the virtual reality-based visual cognitive rehabilitation service, general elderly subjects (n=11), stroke patients (n=7), stroke patients with visual impairment (n=4), and rehabilitation specialists (n=11) were selected. The questionnaires were distributed to the subjects who were using the service, and the subjective satisfaction of individual users was obtained as data. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. The general characteristics of the users and the evaluation scores of the experts were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The usability test result of this study showed that the mean value of the questionnaire related to content understanding and difficulty was high, between 4-5 points. Conclusion: The virtual reality rehabilitation service of this study is an efficient service that can improve the function, interest, and motivation of stroke patients.

This study examined the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress, and adaptation to college life of international students living in South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic and the factors affecting the adaptation to college life. This study was carried out between December 3, 2021, to January 25, 2022, on international students living in South Korea. The questionnaires were composed of self-reported questionnaires, and the survey URL was sent as text messages to international students who understood the purpose and rationale of this study and consented to participate in the survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 22.0, and t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and hierarchical regression were performed. As a result of the study, the average score of the study subjects was 8.44 points for depression, 8.28 points for anxiety, and 9. 28 points for stress. factors with significant differences in adaptation to college life according to general characteristics were living means and smoking. The relationship between the main variables, it was significant with depression (r=-.785, p<.001), anxiety (r=-.593, p<.001), and stress (r=-.726, p<.001). There was one negative correlation. It was found that the higher the depression, anxiety, and stress, the lower the college life adaptation. Lastly, depression (β=-.666, p<.001) was the factor affecting foreign students' adaptation to college life, and the explanatory power was 62%. Therefore, for international students to adapt to college life, it is necessary to establish an institutional strategy to detect depression, a negative psychological emotion, at an early stage and to systematically manage it. Also, it is necessary to find an intervention plan to relieve depression that can be applied in social isolation situations due to the spread of infectious diseases.

본 연구는 주거환경이 열악한 취약계층의 삶의 현실과 주택개보수서비스 이용 경험을 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서비스를 이용한 9명의 연구 참여자에게 심층 면접을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 이들은 열악한 주거 환경 속에서 심리적 사회적으로 위축되는 한편, 비염과 알레르기 등의 건강상의 문제, 잠재된 위험에 대한 불안감 등을 안고 살고 있었다. 그러나 빈곤한 생활로 인하여 주택개보수에는 신경을 쓸 수 없는 형편이었으며, 집주인이나 세입자 모두 집에 대한 애착이 적어 주거개선에 무관심하여 주거의 열악함이 관리 되지 못하였다. 이러한 상황에서 담당 공무원 등의 연계로 주택개보수서비스를 이용할 수 있게 되었고, 이로 인해 서비스 수혜에 대한 고마움이 매우 컸다. 주택개보수서비스 이후, 외관상으로 깔끔해진 집과 수리 이후의 안정감, 사회관계의 회복, 따뜻한 겨울나기에 대한 기대 등 긍정적인 변화를 경험하였다. 그러나 이처럼 '고마운 서비스'임에도 불구하고, 주택개보수서비스는 '제한적인 서비스'로서의 한계 또한 갖고 있었다. 주로 외관상의 시급한 문제에 치중한 공사였고, 이는 제한된 공사비로 인한 경우가 많았다. 또한 현 주거의 문제는 개보수 뿐 아니라, 제도적으로 뒷받침되어야 하는 상황들도 많이 있어 근본적인 문제해결을 위해서는 제도 및 정책적 변화도 수반되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 결론에서는 주택개보수서비스와 관련된 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.

스마트시티 리빙랩은 지역주민을 포함한 다양한 이해관계자와의 창의적 소통으로 도시의 솔루션을 만들어가는 지역혁신 플랫폼으로서 점차 중요성이 증대하고 있다. 특히, 2018년 1월 대통령 직속 산하 기구인 4차산업혁명위원회는 「도시혁신 및 미래성장동력 창출을 위한 스마트시티 추진전략」 발표를 통해 스마트시티에서의 시민참여와 역할에 대한 중요성을 강조함으로써 다양한 공공사업 분야에 리빙랩이 적용되는 계기가 되었다. 이에 중앙부처와 지자체는 시민참여형 스마트시티 건설을 위해 다양한 유형의 리빙랩을 추진하고 있지만 체계적인 단계별 리빙랩 수행을 위한 구조화된 절차와 방법론 부재로 인해 선행 사례를 참조하여 임시방편적으로 추진하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 공공주도형 스마트시티 리빙랩의 체계적인 접근 및 실행 방안을 마련하기 위해 혁신 디자인 방법론인 더블디자인 다이아몬드 프레임워크와 디자인 씽킹 프로세스를 비롯해 국토계획 표준품셈에서 제시하고 있는 스마트도시 시민 리빙랩의 업무 프로세스를 융복합하여 전주기형 스마트시티 리빙랩 모델을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 전주기형 스마트시티 리빙랩 모델은 프레임워크, 모듈, 프로세스, 방법론 등 리빙랩을 접근하고 실행하기 위해 필요한 4개의 구성요소를 다루고 있다. 향후 스마트시티 리빙랩을 추진하는데 있어 본 모델을 참고 자료로서 활용되길 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 독거노인과 비독거노인의 건강상태에 관하여 생활활동능력, 신체통증 그리고 정서상태의 3가지 요소로 나누어 그룹간에 차이를 비교하고 고령자의 건강상태에 관여하는 요인에 대한 관련성을 확인해 보았다. 연구에는 총 88명의 고령자를 대상으로 조사를 실시하여 분석에 사용하였다. 비독거노인에 비해, 독거노인의 경우 생활활동능력이 낮고, 신체적통증이 높으며, 정서상태가 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 3요소간 유의미한 상관관계가 있었는데, 세부 분석 결과 이는 거주형태(독거/비독거)이외에도 생활활동패턴(실내/실외 활동)이 동시에 관여하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 독거노인 돌봄서비스와 고령자의 건강상태를 객관적으로 측정하기 위한 생리학적 지표개발에 기초자료로 활용되어 질 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.
