This study analyzed some of nursing homes in various domestic and foreign regions in order to find solutions to reduce suicidal incidents from the loneliness. To analyze community space of nursing homes, elderly community is analyzed into three categories based on their characteristics (morphological characteristics, Social characteristics, Environmental characteristics). With those three characteristics above, architectural spaces are analyzed the relation with them. Elderly nursing homes are divided with living, nursing, management, and public spaces. The space of elderly nursing homes (classification of function)-elderly community (classification of elderly characteristics) is approached in an architectural way related to the space of elderly nursing homes and elderly characteristics. Through some case studies, specific space relation of elderly nursing homes and elderly community is analyzed.

본 연구는 노인과 아동청소년을 위한 건강 및 복지시설의 바이오필릭 디자인 특성을 비교 분석하기 위해 시행된 문 헌연구이다. 한국교육학술정보원 데이터베이스에서 노인과 어린이, 청소년 건강 및 복지시설의 바이오필릭 디자인 관련 문헌을 선정하여 바이오필릭 디자인 요소별 빈도를 분석한 후 비교하였다. 노인시설 관련 문헌 네 개와 어린이 및 청소년 시설 관련 문헌 네 개를 분석한 결과, 노인시설의 '자연의 직접 체험'에 해당하는 바이오필릭 패턴이 아동청소년 시설보다 더 많았고, '공간과 장소 체험' 패턴은 아동청소년 시설이 더 많았다. '자연의 간접체험' 패턴은 노인시설과 아동청소년 시설이 유사하였다. 건강 및 복지시설을 이용하는 취약아동의 스트레스 감소를 위해 '자연의 직접체험' 패턴을 더 많이 활용할 것과 노인의 스트레스 감소 및 인지강화를 위하여 '공간과 장소 체험' 패턴을 더 많이 활용할 것을 제안한다.

At present, interest in the welfare of the elderly (persons over sixty-five years of age), including their dietary status, is high. Nutrition and dietary status have been investigated for both the institutionalized and non-institutionalized (independent-living) elderly in foreign country. But the dietary status of institutionalized elderly has not been investigated. Therefore, the dietary status of institutionalized elderly has been studied and compared with that of non-institutionalized elderly in the same geographic area. Three-day dietary records were obtained from fourty-five institutionalized elderly residents (twenty-five men and twenty women) and thirty two elderly living at home (sixteen men and sixteen women) in Taegu area. All nutrient intakes of the elderly women living at home and all nutrient intakes except energy intakes of the elderly men living at home were significantly higher than those of the residents of the institutionalized facilities. (p<0.005) The values of height, weight, chest circumference, and sitting height except head circumference of female elderly living in institutionalized facilities is significantly lower than those of elderly living at home. (p<0.005) In the case of men, the values of height and chest circumference of elderly living in institutionalized facilities is significantly lower than those of elderly living at home. (p<0.05)

본 연구의 목적은 노인요양시설 거주 노인과 비거주 노인의 구강건강상태를 비교하는 것이었다. 연령, 성별, 기초생활수급상태가 동일한 469명을 매칭하여 구강건강상태를 비교분석하였다. 노인요양시설 거주 노인들은 시설 비거주 노인보다 치아우식 우병률(p=0.019), 우식영구치수(p=0.001), 상실영구치수(p=0.047)가 더 높았고 충전영구치수(p<0.001)는 더 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 시설 거주 노인들은 비거주 노인들보다 치아우식에 유병될 확률이 1.93배 더 높았고, 충전치아를 가지게 될 확률은 0.73배였다. 의치를 장착하게 될 확률은 상악이 0.15배, 하악이 0.13배였으며, 의치필요도는 상악이 5.61배, 하악이 5.65배였다. 의치 장착여부 및 필요도에 대한 보정된 오즈비는 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 노인요양시설 거주 노인의 구강건강증진을 위한 구강보건정책 수립을 위한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : The growing elderly population and social changes have fueled a rapid increase in demand for elderly care facilities, but health care services for the elderly, especially oral health services, have long been overlooked. The purpose of this study was to examine the oral health care of elderly residents in elderly care facilities in an effort to provide some information on the elderly's oral health care and the development of dental care programs geared toward institutionalized elderly people. Methods : The subjects in this study were 230 elderly people who were in elderly care facilities in Jeolla Province. An individual interview was held, and they got a dental checkup. As for data analysis, t-test and ANOVA were utilized, and Scheffe post-hoc test was employed. Results : 1. In relation to the subfactors of the quality of life related to oral health, the elderly people investigated got a mean of 4.58, 4.47, 4.38, 4.09, 3.94, 3.91 and 3.76 respectively in activity disorder, mental disorder, social disorder, mental inconvenience, functional disorder, physical pain and physical disorder. 2. Concerning the overall quality of life related to oral health, there were statistically significant gaps in this aspect according to gender, age, presence or absence of systemic disorder, presence or absence of eating difficulties, subjective health status, subjective oral health state and oral health concern. 3. The presence or absence of root caries had a significant relationship to physical pain and social disorder among the subfactors of the OHIP-14, but that had nothing to do with functional disorder, mental inconvenience, physical disorder, mental disorder and activity disorder. Conclusions : The oral health indexes of the institutionalized elderly people in Jeolla Province were measured, and what factors affected the subfactors of oral health was checked. As a result, there appeared a close relation ship between oral health and the quality of life. Therefore effective oral health plans that cater to the elderly should be carried out to improve elderly people's quality of life related to oral health who stay in long-term elderly care facilities. In the future, prolonged research should be implemented from diverse angles for the sake of institutionalized elderly people.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide reference points for the improvement work of churches' convenience facilities for the elderly. To do this, the study generates survey results, showing that the perception to significance of churches' convenience facilities is different among survey constituents. Method: The survey method was utilized. The study population for survey includes the aged believer over 65 years old, pastors, and architecture and/or interior design experts. The questionnaire was devised while consulting existing regulations regarding convenience facilities in general. Results: It is found that the perception to significance of installation standards for convenience facilities is different among survey constituents. Specifically, while the older believer group is perceived that installation standards for the small group meeting room of 'other facility' is comparatively more important, the pastor group and the expert group perceive that the 'intermediate facility' and 'inner facility' are more important. Implications: Participants involved in an improvement project of churches' convenience facilities may have a different perception about their importance due mainly to the degree of usage and the difference of perspectives. This study, therefore, can be used as a reference point for prioritizing improvement works of churches' convenience facilities for the elderly.

Recently, the small-scale local governments of japan are enlarging and enriching the service of health, medical and welfare facilities for the elderly . Intensive arrangement of the three types of facilities is one of the effective ways especially for the small-scale local governments. The service network between facilities benefits by the intensive arrangement. Benefits include the network of the medical service, the share of care information, the share of space and equipment. It can be a notable feature in the intensive arrangement that the elderly were taken from welfare facilities (especially dayscare center) to hospital of high movement frequency quickly. Instead of EV path as possible, It is desirable to stand close between facilities of high movement frequency. For large area, the heavy snow made low daycare ratio. Therefore, it is desirable to construct a branch office at a long distance.
