  • A smart home system improves the elderly's quality of life by monitoring and analyzing their movements and health conditions with better health-care and social support services. Therefore, there has been an effort to adopt a smart home system for the independently living elderly. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated the usability of a smart home system on actual independently living elderly housing in long-term settings. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the usability of a smart home system on independently living elders in living lab conditions. The BLE smart band and the BLE receiver were chosen for the smart home system to monitor the movement of the participants in their homes as well as to monitor the heart rates, step counts, sleep index. Nine independent living elderly from the senior welfare center in Kimjae participated in this living lab demonstration experiment for ten months. This demonstration experiment confirmed the effectiveness of low-cost and easily adoptable IoT-based BLE sensor sets on independent living elders and discussed the troubles and limitations of the experiment. By grasping the pros and cons of IoT-based BLE sensor sets, this study seeks to improve the accessibility and usability of smart home systems for the elderly population in independent living arrangements.

  • As chemotherapy and other sophisticated treatment strategies evolve and the number of survivors of long-term childhood cancer grows, the long-term complications of treatment and the cancer itself are becoming ever more important. One of the most important but often neglected complications is osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture during and after cancer treatment. Acquisition of optimal peak bone mass and strength during childhood and adolescence is critical to preventing osteoporosis later in life. However, most childhood cancer patients have multiple risk factors for bone mineral loss. Cancer itself, malnutrition, decreased physical activity during treatment, chemotherapeutic agents such as steroids, and radiotherapy cause bone mineral deficit. Furthermore, complications such as growth hormone deficiency and musculoskeletal deformity have negative effects on bone metabolism. Low bone mineral density is associated with fractures, skeletal deformity, pain, and substantial financial burden not only for childhood cancer survivors but also for public health care systems. Thus, it is important to monitor bone health in these patients and minimize their risk of developing osteoporosis and fragility fractures later in life.

  • 본 연구는 노인장기요양보험 수급자격을 결정하는 장기요양 등급인정의 지역별 차이를 관리하기 위해 지역별 인정의 차이 관리지표를 개발하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 지역별 인정률은 시군구 지역단위별로 설치된 227개 장기요양운영센터의 등급판정자 대비 인정자 비율인 운영센터별 인정률로 정의하고, 등급판정을 받은 자(등급판정자)의 특성에 따라 장기요양 등급인정 여부가 결정되므로, 운영센터별 인정률은 등급판정자의 특성에 의해 영향을 받는다고 가정하였다. 또한 운영센터 인정률에 영향을 미치는 등급판정자 특성 요인을 고려하여 추정된 운영센터별 인정률은 표준인정률이라 정의하였고, 관찰된 인정률 간의 차이(오차)가 클수록 등급판정자의 특성 외의 요인이 인정률에 영향을 끼쳤다고 가정하여 이 지역의 등급인정에 오류가 있다고 판단하였다. 관리지표 개발을 위해 2015년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 장기요양 등급판정이 완료된 433,115명의 인정조사 자료와 등급판정을 실시한 인정조사자 특성을 활용하였다. 운영센터별 관리지표 생산을 위해 분석대상자가 장기요양 등급을 부여 받은 운영센터를 기준으로 자료를 변환하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 등급판정자의 인구사회학적 특성과 장기요양 등급 재신청 비율에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 운영센터 인정의 차이 관리지표를 산출하였고, 인정의 차이 값이 전체 분포의 중앙95% 구간을 벗어난 운영센터를 등급인정에 오류가 있는 지역으로 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 지역별 인정의 차이 관리지표를 통해 장기요양 등급판정에 대한 국민적 신뢰도 제고와 형평성 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

  • Background: Nursing home resident care is an ongoing topic of public discussion, and there is great interest in improving the quality of resident care. This study investigated the association between nursing home employees' job satisfaction and residents' satisfaction with care and medical outcomes. Methods: Employee and resident satisfaction were measured by questionnaire in 175 skilled nursing facilities in the eastern United States from 2005 to 2009. Facility-level data on residents' pressure ulcers, medically unexplained weight loss, and falls were obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set. The association between employee satisfaction and resident satisfaction was examined with multiple and multilevel linear regression. Associations between employee satisfaction and the rates of pressure ulcers, weight loss, and falls were examined with simple and multilevel Poisson regression. Results: A 1-point increase in overall employee satisfaction was associated with an increase of 17.4 points (scale 0-100) in the satisfaction of residents and family members (p < 0.0001) and a 19% decrease in the incidence of resident falls, weight loss, and pressure ulcers combined (p < 0.0001), after adjusting for staffing ratio and percentage of resident-days paid by Medicaid. Conclusion: Job satisfaction of nursing home employees is associated with lower rates of resident injuries and higher resident satisfaction with care. A supportive work environment may help increase quality of care in the nation's nursing homes.

  • Purpose: Limited research has been conducted on the prevalence of non-medical opioid use (NMOU) in Korean cancer patients who have received prescription opioids (PO). This study aimed to identify the potential proportion of NMOU in cancer patients who had been prescribed opioids in Korea. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 14,728 patients who underwent cancer-related treatment between January 2009 and December 2019, using electronically collected data from a tertiary hospital in Korea. Information regarding the type and duration of opioid use was gathered. A detailed review of medical charts was carried out, focusing on patients who had been prescribed opioids for over 60 days beyond a 12-month period following the completion of their cancer treatment (long-term PO users). Results: Out of the 5,587 patients who were prescribed PO and followed up for at least 12 months, 13 cases of NMOU were identified, representing 0.23% of the patient population. Among the 204 long-term PO users, the rate was 6.37% (13/204). The most commonly misused opioids were oxycodone and fentanyl. For the group confirmed to have NMOU, the median duration of prescription was 1,327 days in total. Of the 13 patients diagnosed with NMOU, 9 reported withdrawal symptoms, 3 exhibited craving behavior for opioids, and 1 experienced both symptoms. Conclusion: This study found that 0.23% of cancer patients who had been prescribed opioids in Korea demonstrated NMOU. Despite this relatively low rate, careful monitoring is necessary to minimize the risk of NMOU in this population, especially among long-term PO users.

  • 2008년 7월 노인장기요양보험제도 도입으로 공적 급여가 시작된 장기요양서비스 중 복지용구는 노인의 자립생활 지원 및 가족의 수발부담 경감 효과가 기대되는 중요한 서비스이다. 새로운 제도 도입 후 일 년이 경과한 현 시점에서 소비자에게 직접 복지용구를 제공하고 있는 복지용구사업소의 운영 현황을 파악하고자 전국 복지용구사업소를 대상으로 우편설문조사를 실시하였다. 194개소의 조사 자료를 분석한 결과, 대부분의 복지용구사업소는 관리, 인력, 시설, 서비스 등의 측면에서 보완해야할 여러 가지 문제들이 발견되었다. 복지용구사업소의 월매출액은 평균 797만원에 불과하여 경영상 어려움을 가질 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 배상책임보험은 절반 정도만이 가입되어 있어 사고 시 대비할 수 있는 체계가 갖추어지지 않은 경우가 많았으며, 정규직 인력 평균 2.6명 중 사회복지사 및 물리치료사는 약 20%에 불가하며 전문적 교육을 이수한 경험은 거의 없었다. 뿐만 아니라 세정소독시설을 갖춘 사업소 중 오염청결구역을 구분하는 비율은 44.8%에 불과하여 실제 세정·소독의 의미가 없는 경우가 많았다. 이에 양질의 복지용구서비스가 이루어지기 위해서는 배상책임보험 가입을 통한 불의의 사고에 대비, 복지용구 관련 인력에 대한 교육, 대여 복지용구의 세정소독 관리 강화 등이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
