Despite widespread awareness of the importance of a middle-aging and older consumer market, it is surprising that very little research has been conducted on their in-home shopping behavior. Therefore, this study focused on middle-aging and older female television home shoppers and examined the effects of persuasive mentions of the show host and parasocial interaction on social involvement, perceived loneliness, mood, perceived risk and unplanned buying tendency. A total of 109 middleaged and older female television shoppers responded. Results of path analysis revealed that persuasive mentions did not influence parasocial interaction. However, as middle-aging and older consumers more para-socially interacted with the host, they were likely to use television shopping for alleviating loneliness. Practical and theoretical implications were discussed.

Objectives: Socioeconomic inequality in metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains poorly understood in Iran. The present study examined the extent of the socioeconomic inequalities in MetS and quantified the contribution of its determinants to explain the observed inequality, with a focus on middle-aged adults in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Ravansar Non-Communicable Disease cohort study. A sample of 9975 middleaged adults aged 35-65 years was analyzed. MetS was assessed based on the International Diabetes Federation definition. Principal component analysis was used to construct socioeconomic status (SES). The Wagstaff normalized concentration index (CI_n) was employed to measure the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in MetS. Decomposition analysis was performed to identify and calculate the contribution of the MetS inequality determinants. Results: The proportion of MetS in the sample was 41.1%. The CI_n of having MetS was 0.043 (95% confidence interval, 0.020 to 0.066), indicating that MetS was more concentrated among individuals with high SES. The main contributors to the observed inequality in MetS were SES (72.0%), residence (rural or urban, 46.9%), and physical activity (31.5%). Conclusions: Our findings indicated a pro-poor inequality in MetS among Iranian middle-aged adults. These results highlight the importance of persuading middle-aged adults to be physically active, particularly those in an urban setting. In addition to targeting physically inactive individuals and those with low levels of education, policy interventions aimed at mitigating socioeconomic inequality in MetS should increase the focus on high-SES individuals and the urban population.

This study has been attempted to measure health education needs-assessment of middle-aged women and to analyze the factors affecting health education needs-assessment. There were 618 subjects(middle-aged women, 40 to 59 years of age). The major findings of the study were as follows: 1. Seventy six point six percent of the respondents wanted health education. The remainder did not want health education because of the lack of the time. 2. For those desiring to receive health education, there was statistically significant difference in education(p〈0.001), income(p〈0.05), employment(p〈0.05), recreation(p〈0.001), knowledge on health(p〈0.001), routine medical check-ups(p〈0.01) and health education experience(p〈0.001). 3. Forty nine percent of the respondents wanted formal education as a way of education and 41.7% wanted life-long education center for the place of education. Sixty two point five percent of responded that ‘once a month’ is adequate for the health education, and 62.7% felt that ‘around one hour’ duration is appropriate. 4. The area the respondents were most interested in was disease control especially in the order of cancer and osteoporosis. 5. There was statistically significant difference between the age group of 40's and 50's in personal health care and environmental health area(p〈0.01), weight control area(p〈0.01), mental health and exercise area(p〈0.05), drinking and smoking area(p〈0.01). 6. The more knowledge on health, the higher health education needs-assessment. Middleaged women who received routine medical check-ups had more health education needs-assessments than those who didn't.

이 연구의 목적은 존엄사에 대한 한국 중년층의 인식유형을 파악하고 그 특성을 분석함으로써 존엄사에 대한 제도마련 및 정책을 구성하는데 필요한 기초적인 자료를 제공하고자 하는 것이다. 존엄사에 관한 30개의 진술문을 가지고, 32명의 중년층을 대상으로 Q 분류를 하였다. 분석결과 존엄사에 대한 주관적인 인식유형과 그 특성은 허용형, 반대형, 제한적 허용형으로 나타났다. 허용형은 환자의 자기결정권에 의한 존엄사는 수용되어야 하며, 극심한 고통을 동반하는 환자에게 존엄사는 필요하다고 생각한다. 반대형은 존엄사가 허용되면 부당하게 죽음을 맞이하는 이들이 늘어나며, 인간의 생명경시 풍조가 만연해질 것이라고 생각한다. 제한적 허용형은 존엄사를 허용하기에 앞서 구체적인 법과 제도가 마련되어야 한다고 생각한다. 존엄사라는 주제 자체가 국민들의 온전한 합의를 이끌어낼 수 없는 것일 수 있지만, 존엄사제도 추진과정에서 국민의 의견이 반영되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 장애과정모델을 이론적 토대로 하여 중노년기에 낙상두려움이 위험요인 혹은 악화요인으로써 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상에 영향을 미치는지를 검증하기 위하여 한국고령화패널조사를 통해 수집된 2차 자료(2006년, 2008년, 2010년)를 이용하여 종단연구모형을 검증하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면, 먼저 낙상두려움은 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상에 직접적인 영향을 미쳤고, ADL/IADL장애를 통해 우울증상에 영향을 미치는 간접적인 영향 또한 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 낙상두려움이 악화요인으로써 역할을 하는지 살펴본 결과, 중노년기에 신체질환의 경험과 함께 낙상두려움을 가진 경우에는 ADL/IADL장애발생의 위험성이 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 낙상두려움은 장애과정에서 있어서 위험요인이자, 악화요인으로써도 작용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 중노년기의 ADL/IADL장애와 우울증상을 예방하기 위하여 낙상두려움 관련한 적극적인 개입방안 마련이 필요함을 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study purposed to supply basic data for nursing intervention plan for middle-aged women healthcare and for finding solutions to nursing problems through understanding middle-aged women's depression, and to examine whether middle-aged women's depression is related with self-concept, self-efficacy, physical condition and social support. Method: The subjects were 200 middle-aged women aged between 35 and 60 and living in Daejon city and K city in Chungcheongnam-do, and the questionnaire survey was conducted from the 15th of August to the 18th of September in 2003 using a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA. Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Result: Middle- aged women's depression was found to be in a negative correlation at a statistically significant level with self-concept (r=-.679, p=0.000), self-efficacy(r=-.489, p= 0.000), physical condition(r=-.650, p=0.000) and social support(r=-.526, p=0.000). The most significant variables of middle-aged women's depression was self-concept(46.2%). Combining with physical condition(13.2%) and self-efficacy(0.9%), the three variables together explained 60.3% of middle-aged women's depression. Conclusion: The results show that middle-aged women's depression is closely related with self-concept, self-efficacy and physical condition. Thus this study suggests that the goal of nursing intervention for middle-aged women to overcome depression should be to help them to have positive self-concept, high self-efficacy and sound physical condition.
