Due to the rapid increase of the elderly population, promoted desire for recreational activities in old age and so emerging importance of Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly. Although Senior community centers playing an important role in old people leisure life are quantitative resources occupying majority of the Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly. there are many problems of managing programs, aging facilities, small spaces and so on. So, many facilities are used as simple meeting places of old people without solution about qualitative problem. Also, because of negative perceptions of people about Senior community center socially, desires of using Senior community center of old generation will decrease. In order to perfectly play a role of Leisure welfare facilities for the elderly, we need to review regulations about facility and program of Senior community center and suggest ways to resolve these problems.

본 연구는 Andersen과 Newman(1973)의 행동모델을 적용하여 지역사회 노인들의 경로당 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하고, 이용자 만족도의 매개효과를 검증하여 경로당 이용 노인의 만족도 향상 및 경로당 운영 활성화를 위한 정책적·실천적 대안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 부산지역 2,283개소 경로당 이용 노인 578명이다. 연구결과, 경로당 총 이용기간에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 연령, 가능성 요인 중 경로당 유형으로 분석되었으며, 1주일간 경로당 총 이용일 수에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 성별, 연령, 교육수준으로 나타났다. 매개변수인 이용자 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 선행요인 중 성별, 연령, 욕구요인 중 주관적 건강상태로 분석되었다. 이용자 만족도 매개효과 검증 결과, 연령과 경로당 총 이용기간 사이에는 부분 매개효과, 성별과 1주일간 경로당 이용일 수 사이에는 완전 매개효과, 연령과 1주일간 경로당 이용일 수 사이에는 부분 매개효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구의 목적과 주요 결과에 따라 경로당 이용자 만족도 및 이용 활성화를 위한 정책적·실천적 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 경로당 이용자 특성에 따른 프로그램 개발과 지원이 요구된다. 둘째, 경로당 유형 및 지역적 환경에 따라 경로당을 특성화 할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, 경로당 운영비 지원 기준 개선과 인상이 필요하다.

본 연구는 경로당을 이용하는 여성 노인들 사이에 친구·이웃 집단따돌림 현상이 어떠한 모습으로 나타나는지를 살펴보았다. 문화기술지를 연구방법으로 선택하였으며, 집단따돌림 현상이 나타나는 A 경로당을 이용하는 여성 노인 16명을 연구참여자로 선정하였다. 참여관찰과 면접을 통해 자료를 수집하였고 Spradley(1979)가 제시한 문화기술지적 분석방법을 바탕으로 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 경로당 이용 여성 노인의 친구·이웃 집단따돌림 현상은 외톨이로 만듦, 피해를 줌, 대응함, 벗어나지 못함이라는 네 가지 영역으로 나타났다. 먼저, 호의적이지 않은 분위기 속에서 집단따돌림 피해자는 의지할 곳 없는 외톨이가 되었다. 가해자들의 '공격함', '차별함', '고립시킴', '경로당 이용을 저지함'으로 인해 피해자들은 불리한 상황에 처하였다. 둘째, 피해자는 피해를 입는 동시에 다른 사람들에게 해를 가하였다. 이는 경로당을 함께 이용하는 사람들을 배려하지 않고, 거짓말로 속이는 모습, 집단생활을 하는 데 능숙하지 못한 측면, 기여가 적거나 통제된 생활을 어려워하는 상황으로 드러났다. 셋째, 경로당 여성 노인들은 '회피함', '지지 않음', '개선하려 함', '다른 관계를 통해 따돌림에서 빠져나오고자 함' 네 가지 방법으로 집단따돌림 현상에 대응하고자 했다. 마지막으로, A 경로당은 지속적으로 집단따돌림 현상에 머물러있는 모습을 보였다. 끊임없이 새로운 따돌림 대상이 출현했으며, 따돌림은 경로당 안뿐만 아니라 경로당 밖까지 퍼져나갔다. 이러한 결과는 경로당 여성 노인의 집단따돌림 현상이 아동·청소년, 직장 집단따돌림과 유사한 역동을 보여주면서도, 상이한 개인적, 환경적 요인으로 인해 이들과 다른 독특한 측면이 나타남을 시사하고 있다. 따라서 경로당 이용 여성들의 집단따돌림 현상의 고유한 전개 양상들에 주목할 필요가 있다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 한국 사회에서 나타나고 있는 집단따돌림 중 경로당 여성 노인의 집단따돌림에 대한 논의를 보다 구체화하고 확대시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop a nursing assessment tool for senior center nurses, and to test its feasibility and content validity. Methods: The study utilized a psychometric test design. Preliminary items were developed based on geriatric health needs and Gordon's 11 domains of functioning health. Initially, the tool was evaluated for content validity and feasibility. Then, it was administered among 195 older adults in a senior center by a gerontological nurse practitioner. Data were analyzed to describe the nursing problems of the senior center older adults. Results: The final version of the nursing assessment tool consisted of 27 items. The internal consistency, measured with the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, was .74. The result of the assessment showed that senior center older adults had high nursing needs in the area of management of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, and lipids), dental care, community relations, safety, elder abuse, health behaviors (such as drinking), mental health (depression, suicide, and cognitive function), and health consultations. Conclusion: The new tool was feasible for use with senior center participants, and it was evaluated as having high content validity by senior center nurses.

Methods. This study was conducted on 150 participants who were aged 65 years and over in a nursing hospital, a senior citizen center and participating social welfare programs in Gyeong Gi area. Researchers visited a nursing hospital, a senior citizen center, and a senior welfare center to organize times before conducting questionnaires after interviewing individual elderly participants. Results. The results are as follows: The probability of the long-term senior recuperation insurance implementation is higher amongst the younger participants, those with average health status and where the system is recognized by neighbors, relatives and/or family. The largest group of participants show only a moderate interest in the long-term senior recuperation insurance. The attitude toward using the long-term senior recuperation insurance system in the future is undetermined due to lack of awareness. Conclusions. Although the long-term senior recuperation insurance system is for all citizens, it is important to provide the correct information to the target audience, the elderly, and raise the awareness of the system so that they have access to the necessary services.

Senior centers in apartment complex have been provided since 1980 according to the Housing Act in Korea. Nowadays these senior centers are model leisure facility for the elderly. However there are no specific guidelines for space composition and usage in a senior center. This study examines the space composition and usage patterns of 16 senior centers in apartment complex, Jangyou New Town. The data were collected by means of an observation, measuring, and interviews. The results are ; 1) A senior center consisted of one living room and two rooms for men and women would be appropriate; A living room is for common activities and two rooms for casual resting of each gender. 2) A kitchen is mainly used for setting the table or making tea. Thus, the living-dining-kitchen type would be appropriate. 3) Many rest rooms are located outside of a senior center and unisex one. The restroom should be separated by gender and located within the senior center. Also, the width of all doors should be more than 80cm and the floor be flat. The grab bars should be installed near the fixtures in a restroom. 4) Design and location of the shoe shelf are not convenient for the elderly to use. It should be designed and arranged for the elderly to use conveniently. Also, space for canes, walkers or wheelchairs should be considered in entrance area.
