노인복지관은 노인들의 다양한 복지 욕구에 따른 서비스를 제공하여 지역사회 노인복지 증진에 기여하고 있다. 고령화 및 베이비부머의 고령층 진입으로 인해 노인들은 동일한 욕구를 가진 단일한 집단이 아닌 다양성을 가진 집단으로 인식되고 있다. 따라서 수요자 관점에서 노인들이 복지관을 이용하는 요인을 파악하려는 노력이 필요하다. 도시지역 노인의 복지관 이용 요인을 확인한 결과, 성별, 나이, 학력, 직업, 경제상태, 사회계층, 친구 수, 사회활동 참여 수, 질환 수, 우울감이 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 남성보다 여성이, 나이가 많을수록, 고학력자가, 직업이 없는 노인이, 경제상태가 나쁜 노인이, 낮은 사회계층에 속하는 노인이, 친구가 많을수록, 참여하는 사회활동이 많을수록, 질환이 많을수록, 우울감이 높을수록 복지관을 이용할 확률이 높아졌다. 학력수준이 높은, 친구가 많은, 사회참여에 적극적인 노인들과 나이가 많은, 경제적으로 어려운, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인 등 이질적인 노인집단이 복지관을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인복지서비스의 질적 제고를 위한 정책적·실천적 제언을 하였다.

Background: The purpose of this study was influence of change of electrical stimulation time on body regions affects on electrical current threshold. Methods: The present study is to examine the effect of silver spike point (SSP) electrical stimulation (1Hz), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS, 100Hz), and interferential current therapy (ICT, 50Hz) from the low back and scapulodorsal and knee joint regions on stimulation-induced current thresholds from the elderly (over sixty) people (male:72, female:91) in senior welfare center. Result: The low back region, but not scapulodorsal and knee joint region, significantly increased the TENS and ICT, but not SSP, electrical stimulation, significantly increased the time-dependent current thresholds in elderly patients. Conclusion: Therefore, these results, in part, suggest that the TENS and ICT were shown to be a more adaptable method of stimulation, and that needed of the development of senile specialized physical therapy and the utilization of senior leisure facilities such as senior welfare center the others.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인 중 당뇨병 진단을 받은 자를 대상으로 당뇨병과 구강건강과의 관련성 및 구강관리 실태를 분석하여 당뇨 환자를 위한 구강제품개발에 필요한 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. D시의 노인복지관을 방문한 당뇨병 진단을 받은 65세 이상 노인 8명을 연구대상자로 하여 4명을 한 그룹으로 하고 그룹 당 약 40분의 면담을 진행하였다. 연구결과 '당뇨와 구강건강', '구강 내 불편감', '구강관리방법', '치과방문', '구강관리를 위한 요구'의 5개의 핵심 주제가 도출되었다. 연구대상자의 대부분이 당뇨와 구강건강의 관련성에 대하여는 처음 들어본다고 대답하였고, 구강건강관리는 하루 3~4회 치약을 사용하여 잇솔질을 하고, 치과방문은 구강에 문제가 생겼을 때만 방문한다고 대답하였다. 구강관리에 필요하다고 생각하는 부분은 당뇨환자 맞춤 구강관리교육과 치약 등 다양한 관리제품들이 개발되었으면 좋을 것 같다고 대답하였다. 본 연구결과를 볼 때 향후 노인 당뇨 환자의 맞춤형 구강건강관리 프로그램개발 및 구강제품개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
