Purpose - This study evaluated the impact of digital literacy on the usability of kiosks among the elderly using eye-tracking technology. Participants were classified into high, medium, and low digital literacy groups, and their performance in usability metrics such as time to first fixation, fixation duration, and task completion time was compared. The goal was to uncover how digital literacy influenced elderly users' interactions with kiosks and to provide insights for targeted educational interventions. Design/methodology/approach - An experimental approach was employed, utilizing eye-tracking technology to assess the usability of a standardized kiosk interface among elderly participants. Participants were categorized into digital literacy groups based on a survey, and their performance across various usability metrics was recorded and analyzed. The study aimed to identify differences in visual attention and task performance that were linked to digital literacy levels. Findings - The study found that higher digital literacy levels were correlated with better performance in kiosk usability metrics. Participants with higher digital literacy had shorter times to first fixation, reduced fixation durations, and faster task completion times compared to those with lower literacy levels. These results emphasized the importance of digital literacy in facilitating more efficient use of kiosks by the elderly. Research implications or Originality - This study provided new insights into the importance of digital literacy in improving the usability of digital interfaces for older adults. By employing eye-tracking technology, it offered objective data on how digital literacy influenced visual attention and task performance. The findings suggested the need for comprehensive digital literacy programs tailored to the elderly, which could have helped bridge the digital divide and enhance their social inclusion.

Purpose: A descriptive correlation study was done to provide basic data for comprehensive nursing care by analyzing the, relationship between spiritual well-being and death anxiety of the elderly. Method: 358 respondents who lived in facilities for elders such as nursing homes and elder's rehabilitation centers were selected, and their age was over 65 years old. Paloutzian and Ellison(1982)'s spiritual well-being scale and Park(1989)'s death Anxiety scale was used. From August 2nd to November 7th, 2002, readymade questionnaires were handed out by the researcher to those who could fill it out and for those who could not fill out the questionnaires alone, the researcher read it and completed it by interview. The data were analyzed with SPSS Win 10.0 program, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation coefficient. Result: 1) The mean score for spiritual well being of the elderly was 43.95 in a possible range of 20-80. The mean score of religious well being was 22.22 and that of existential well being was 21.73 in a possible range of 10 - 40. 2) The mean score for death anxiety of the elderly was 109.04 in a possible range of 34 - 136. 3) There were significant differences in spiritual well being according to religion, and present occupation. 4) There were significant differences in death anxiety according to age, religion, and family status. 5) In testing concerning the relationship between spiritual well being and death anxiety, there was a statistically negative correlation(r=-.70 p=.000). Conclusion: There was a negative correlation between spiritual well being and death anxiety. When the nurse implicates the nursing intervention, which can promote the spiritual well-being, elder's death anxiety also can be released.

This study was conducted to compare the nutritional status, nutrient intakes, and chronic disease risks of Chinese elderly people. MNA (Mini Nutritional Assessment) developed for elderly people was used to determine their nutritional status. In this study, participants consisted of 148 urban residents aged 65 years and over residing in three cities in Shandong Province, China. Participants were 67 (45.3%) men and 81 (54.7%) women, and average age was 72.8 years. According to MNA score, 77.7% of participants were 'well nourished', 22.3% were 'at risk of malnutrition', and 2% were 'malnourished'. Nutritional status was divided into two groups by MNA score as 'well nourished' and 'malnourished', which was formed with the combination of 'at risk of malnutrition' and 'malnourished'. Compared with the well nourished group, the malnourished group was older, and physical status indicators such as weight, BMI (Body Mass Index), and calf circumference of the malnourished group were much smaller. The malnourished group had higher prevalence rates of heart disease and stomach disorders while the well nourished group had a higher rate of hypertension. There was no significant difference between the malnourished group and well nourished group in nutritional intake below Chinese DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) among elder males. A higher proportion of elder females showed insufficient intakes of energy, protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc in the malnourished group compared to the well nourished group. The INQ (Index of Nutrition Quality) of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iodine, and most vitamins was less than 1 in both the malnourished and well nourished groups.

후기구조주의 프랑스 철학자 질 들뢰즈와 펠릭스 가타리는 소수성과 소수자에 관한 논의를 통해 현대사회는 이미 소수자의 시대가 도래하고 있음을 강조한다. 즉, 노인과 같은 사회적 약자이자 특이성을 지닌 소수자들의 '- 되기'를 제시하고 있다. '- 되기'는 어떻게 하면 기존의 동일성에서 분열하여 다른 삶, 다른 주체로 살아갈 것인가에 대한 실천적 방법론이다. 연구 목적은 '여성 - 되기'를 위한 노인 미디어 교육을 탐색하여 노인여성들이 주체적으로 참여할 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 실천 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이론적 논의는 들뢰즈와 가타리의 주요 개념과 사유들을 검토하고자 한다. 이러한 사유를 전제하는 이유는 기존의 양적 기준으로 정의되었던 소수자와 소수성에 대한 재해석을 통해 소수자로서 노인여성들의 욕망을 '- 되기'라는 생성의 차원으로 재조명하고자 함이다. 이를 통해 구체적이고 긍정적인 효과를 낼 수 있는 노인 미디어 교육의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose: The present study was to done ascertain variables related to health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and their related factors in elders from urban or rural areas. Methods: Data were collected from raw material of the 2009 community health survey. Participants were 2,140 elders. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) was measured using EQ-5D. Data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0. Results: Mean EQ index score for urban elders was $0.78{\pm}0.23$, Mean EQ index score for rural elders was $0.82{\pm}0.16$. Rural elders had significantly higher EQ-5D index value compared to urban elders. The urban elder HRQOL model accounted for 33.6% of the variance due to depression, age, stress perception. The rural elder HRQOL model accounted for 23.5% of the variance due to exercising walking, skipping breakfast, depression in that order. In comparison, depression, skipping breakfast, livelihood, arthritis, stress perception, hours of sleep and age are strongly associated with HRQOL in both groups. Conclusion: Results indicate that significant differences in HRQOL between elders from the two areas and thus, confirm claims that welfare services for elders should be provided with consideration of the different needs of elders in the two areas, and in particular for addressing depression in elders.

자연하천의 종확산과정을 정확하게 대표하는 종확산계수의 선정을 위하여 기 제안된 종확산계수 추정공식들을 비교 분석하였다. 종확산계수 공식 중 적용성이 비교적 우수한 공식을 선정하여 미국 언역의 26개 하천에서 수집된 실측치와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 사실은 다음과 같다. Elder공식은 종확산계수를 상당히 과소 산정하기 때문에 1차원 확산모형의 종확산계수의 산정에는 부적합하다. McQuivey와 Keefer공식은 전체적으로 과대 산정하는 편이고, Magazine 등 공식은 대부분의 경우에 과소 산정하고 있다. 이들에 비해 Iwasa와 Aya공식은 비교적 양호한 거동을 보이고 있다. Fischer공식은 전체적으로 과대 산정하고 있으나, Liu공식은 양호한 거동을 보이고 있으며 특히 정확도 면에서는 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 Liu공식은 하폭의 제곱 형태를 포함하고 있기 때문에 하천의 폭이 큰 대하천의 경우 종확산계수를 과대 산정하고 있다. 따라서 하폭이 큰 대하천(200m 이상)의 경우에는 Liu공식의 사용을 피하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 사료된다.
