  • 본 연구의 목적은 노인의 인터넷활용(인터넷활용빈도 및 인터넷활용능력)이 생활만족도에 미치는 영향력을 검증하고, 이 관계에서 사회활동의 매개효과를 분석하는 것이다. 연구에서 활용한 자료는 서울시복지재단에서 실시한 서울시 복지패널조사자료 중 2010년도 가구원용 데이터이며, 1862명이 분석대상이다. 연구방법은 빈도분석, 기술분석, 상관관계분석을 통해 대상자의 일반적 특성 및 주요 변수의 특성을 살펴보았으며, 구조방정식으로 연구모형을 검증하고, Sobel test를 통해 사회활동의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 노인의 인터넷활용빈도는 생활만족도에 영향요인이 아닌 것으로 나타났고 반대로 인터넷활용능력은 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노인의 인터넷활용능력과 생활만족도의 관계에서 사회활동은 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 노인 인터넷활용 활성화에 대한 이론적·실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

  • This paper proposes a soft-remote-control (soft-remocon) system based on EMG signals for the Intelligent Sweet Home. The proposed system is applied to Intelligent Sweet Home which was developed to help the independence living of the elderly and physically handicapped individuals. The goal of proposed system is to control home-installed electronic devices such as TV, air-conditioner, curtain and lamp in Intelligent Sweet Home using EMG signals. Features such as VAR and DAMV having good separability performance are selected for pattern classification. FMMNN is adopted as a pattern classifier. Classification results are allowed to a developed remote control module and then corresponding infrared pulses can operate home-installed electronic devices. We concluded that EMG as an input interface for home-installed electronic devices in Intelligent Sweet Home.

  • This study analyzed the outcomes of the Healthy Family Support Center's 2011 Pilot Project to support grandparent-grandchild families. This paper applied Frank Fisher's multidimensional evaluation methodology, which includes 4 steps: program verification, situational validation, system vindication and social choice. The major findings and their implications are as follows: the strong points of the pilot project are the characteristics of its services, i.e. sending services, customized services, family-unit services and integrated services. Therefore, it is necessary to train human resources to deliver these services more professionally and to provide comprehensive life-planning. The weak point of the pilot project is its lack of services relating to the self-reliance of the clients. Thus it is necessary to revise the service subsystems to include programs that promote self-support measures.

  • Purpose. The elderly with UI experienced urine leakage for a long time. The prevalence of UI has increased and it makes costly. Particularly, the elderly were reluctant to visit a hospital or a clinic for the reasons of modesty and poverty. To solve this problem, incontinence intervention programs should be provided at the elderly welfare center. The purpose of this research was to develop Incontinence Intervention Program for the Elderly Women (IIPE) and evaluate in its effect. Methods. The study design was quasi-experimental with pre and post-test. The study was performed for ten weeks at one elderly welfare center, Seoul, Korea. The subjects were gathered through an official announcement and informed consent was obtained. IIPE, in this study, was consisted of diagnosis, education, exercise and evaluation. The study variables were PFM exercise adherence, pelvic muscle strength, Continence self-efficacy, geriatric depression and incontinence stress. The effects of the IIPE on PFM exercise adherence, pelvic muscle strength, Continence self-efficacy, geriatric depression and incontinence stress were also evaluated. Results. The mean age of the subjects was 75.2 years. The average attendance was 6.2 times. The IIPE improved PFM exercise adherence, intra-vaginal contraction power and CSE significantly. But it was not significant in incontinence stress and geriatric depression. Other important results were that the two-finger test and urine stream interruption were more useful for elderly women with rigid vaginas in teaching and evaluating. Conclusion. The Findings suggest that IIPE is effective to the community-residing elderly. Further investigation is needed on a long-term basis with control group.

  • Background: This study aimed to examine possible effects of implementing a national query program on site-specific cancer mortality rates. Materials and Methods: A total of 2,874 query letters were sent out by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan between January 2009 and December 2011 to medical certifiers who reported "neoplasm with uncertain nature" on the death certificate asking for more detailed information for coding. Results: Of the 2,571 responses, in 1,398 cases (54%) medical certifiers were still unable to determine the nature of the neoplasm. There were four neoplasm sites for which more than 50% of the responses changed the category to malignant, the gastrointestinal system (73%), urinary system (60%), stomach (55%) and rectum (53%). The liver was the cancer site that showed the largest absolute increase in the number of deaths after the query; however, the brain showed the largest relative increase, at 12%. Conclusions: Different neoplasm sites showed different magnitudes of change in nature after the query. Brain cancer mortality rates exhibited the largest increase.

  • This study aimed to develop program models for single households in the Healthy Families Support Centers. Data from seven female and seven male single households were collected through in-depth interviews. The major results were as follows. First, a demand for a program that both provides feeling safe and is self-caring came to the fore. Additionally, many respondents wanted to participate in programs with families. Second, the aspects of professional quality, diversity, and systematic management were mentioned as the strengths of programs in the Healthy Families Support Centers. Third, three program models were drawn up, as follows: The first model was a five-part program model like the current program settings of the Healthy Families Center. Those were sharing-caring, education, counselling, family-friendly culture, and community networking. The second model was a program for family relationships. The third was for joining programs with others. For the detailed program, a manual needs to be proposed, and the staff members who handle the programs for single households in the center will need to be retrained.

  • 본 연구는 고용중심 복지국가의 재정 성과를 확인하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 특히 본 연구가 주목하는 것은 고용중심 복지국가가 창출한 고용이 무엇이냐이다. 양질의 일자리가 창출되지 않으면 고용중심 복지국가로의 전환이 기대했던 실업과 빈곤 감소, 나아가서 재정건전성 회복을 담보할 수 없다는 주장이 제기되고 있기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고용중심 복지국가로의 전환 맥락에서, 국가의 복지 노력을 통해 창출된 고용의 질을 파악하고 그것이 궁극적으로 국가 재정에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는가를 실증적으로 파악하고자 한다. 분석은 복지국가가 창출한 고용과 재정성과 간의 시간적 선후관계를 반영하여 Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 3단계 매개효과 검증을 적용한다. 분석결과, 고용중심 복지국가의 공공 복지 노력이 적어도 통계적인 차원에서는 기대만큼의 효과를 가지는 유효한 개혁은 아니었던 것으로 보인다. 오히려 저임금, 비자발적 시간제 고용과 같은 질 낮은 일자리 확대에 정적(+) 영향을 미쳤으며, 이는 나아가서 고용중심 복지국가로의 전환으로 기대했던 재정 위기 해소에도 기여하지 못하는 장벽이 된 것으로 보인다. 따라서 복지국가의 재정건전성을 확보하는 전략으로 단순히 고용의 총량을 늘리는 것은 실효성을 가지기 어려우며, 충분하고 질 좋은 일자리의 창출을 위한 노력이 수반되어야 하겠다.

  • Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of intensively complex physical therapy program on pain, range of motion (ROM) and muscle function in traumatic low back injury by industrial accident. Design: Prospective study Methods: Eight patients with traumatic low back injury by industrial accident participated in this study. They were treated the intensively complex physical therapy program including daily 60 minutes therapist supervised physical therapy at 5 times a week and 30 minutes manual therapy at 5 times a week in 12 weeks. Evaluation was performed before the commencement of the training and again 4, 8 and 12 weeks. There were measured Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for evaluating pain, ROM of trunk, and isometric muscle strength of trunk, core muscle endurance, neuromuscular control ability for evaluating muscle function. Results: NRS was significantly improved according to time (p<0.05). ROM of extension and rotation, isometric muscle strength of trunk and hip, core muscle endurance and neuromuscular control ability were significantly improved according to time (p<0.05). Conclusion: We could confirm the superiority effect of intensively complex physical therapy program on pain, ROM of trunk and muscle function in traumatic low back pain with industrial accident.
