Ubiquitous is a Latin-derived word meaning "to exist at any time and place" like water or air. In computing, the word "ubiquitous" indicates an environment in which users have access to networks without any limitation regarding computer networks or places. Important issues in building Ubiquitous Korea (U-Korea) are the social problems appearing with a rapid increase in the old age population. Nowadays, with the rise of the nuclear family, the increase in the number of elderly people living alone, and the change in the status of women, both wives and husbands are employed outside the home, and the relatives who would be responsible for supporting the elderly sometimes are on long or short business trips, and it happens that old people can't be looked after. Therefore the government developed a wireless paging system for the sick, disabled, old and weak so that when an emergency happens, by just simply dialing 119, an emergency aid center could take prompt action. However, the present wireless paging systems composing the under-layer of the emergency aid information system have some problems, such as, a lack of reliability, problems among terminals, mobile transmitters and receiving terminals, the users' refusal to admit the need for the system and poor operational skills, administrators' perfunctory management and checks, etc. On account of these problems, the system efficiency has degraded and therefore a system upgrade is necessary. In this paper, we attempt to evaluate the newly implemented SAFE119 system, a new wireless paging system seeking to correct the problems of the current system.

While the importance of social integration has been mainly emphasized in the fields of social welfare services for the elderly, disabled and lower income citizens, many types of elderly housing had been developed in a way of segregating the elderly from society rather than integrating. Meanwhile, shared group house may allow older people to 'age in place' within the communities where they used to live by providing them with social, economic and practical benefits. The purpose of this study is to carry out empirical research on responses to elderly shared group house. Interview survey with questionnaire was conducted among 138 elderly people between 60-75 years old, living in Seoul and its metropolitan area. Responses of the elderly included awareness, perception and preference. It was revealed that the respondents had negative perceptions on existing shared group house in Korea. Most of the respondents showed preference to moving into socially-integrated type of shared group houses developed within their communities. This study indicated the potential of such type shared group house to become a favorable housing alternative for elderly people which supports their sustainable independent living within community.

Improving quality of life can be achieved by rehabilitating one socially and restoring their sexual life. Holistic care for persons with disabilities means the rehabilitation nurse intervenes when problems of sexual function are discovered, observed, or expressed. However, most people with chronic illnesses and disabilities must confront prevalent myths about their sexual nature and abilities. These myths often have their basis in the notion, common in our society, that the only people who are sexual are those who are young and beautiful. People who are obese, old, or do not conform to current standards of sexual attractiveness are usually deemed as asexual or undesirable. These narrow sterotypes have been particularly damaging to physically or mentally disabled people. People with chronic illnesses and disabilities often have special needs regarding their sexual behavior. Most of us will confront chronic illness or disability in our own lives to some degree. In addition, illnss or disability can occur at any age. In this study, I discuss some of the special needs of people with chronic illnesses and disabilities and the methods of coping with those needs. I also discuss some of the sexual concerns that people with chronic illnesses and disabilities have in common, and the assessment of sexual function and nursing strategies through literature review.

대구지역 지체장애인들을 대상으로 만성이환시 의료이용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하기 위하여 1997년 4월부터 7월까지 등록된 재가장애인에서 20세 이상의 지체장애인 1,307명 중 만성질환이 있다고 대답한 337명 전원을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지와 면접을 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 만성질환으로 인한 의료기관 이용률은 81.9%로 병의원이용이 69.1%, 약국이용이 12.8%였다. 단순분석 결과, 소인성 요인에 따른 의료이용실태에서는 기혼이고 직업이 있는 경우에서 의료기관 이용률이 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 건강관심이 높은 군에서 의료기관이용이 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.01), 필요성 요인인 평소 아플 때 대처하는 방식이 의료기관 이용과 유의한 관련성이 있었다(p<0.01). 경로분석결과 직업, 경제적상태, 의료보장상태, 평소 아플 때 대처방식이 직접적인 영향을 미쳤으며(p<0.05), 건강관심도, 단골진료기관 유무 등의 변수들도 간접적인 영향을 미쳤다. 의료기관 미이용 이유에서는 '돈이 없어서'가 31.1%로 가장 많았고, '별 증상이 없어서'(18.0%), '불편하거나 같이 갈 사람이 없어서'(14.8%), '그냥 있으면 나을 것 같아서'(14.8%), '시간이 없어서'(8.2%), '치료해도 소용이 없을 것 같아서'(6.6%)의 순이었다. 이상에서 만성질환을 가진 지체장애인들의 의료이용을 높이기 위해서는 장애인 스스로 건강과 질병에 대한 관심을 가질 수 있는 보건교육을 강화하고 장애인 고용촉진을 위한 정책을 마련하여 전반적인 경제적 수준을 향상시키고 의료보호의 확대를 통해서 의료이용의 형평을 추구하여야 겠다.
