일부 전북지역 노인들의 일상생활동작능력과 수단적 일상생활동작능력

To know the relationship of general characteristics with activities of daily living(ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living(IADL), we carried out the study on the elderies living in Chollabuk-Do area during 6 months, from June to December in 1999. Study subjects were 281, women and men were 195(69.6%) and 85(30.4%) respectively. Mean ages of women and men were 71.9 and 70.8 respectively. 81.1% elderies has disease and 18.9% were disease free. Disease prevalences of movement joint disease, others, circulatory disease, digestive disease, dental disease, respiratory disease were 50.1%, 25.0%, 10.5%, 9.4%, 8.5%, and 6.3% respectively. The percentages to the use of medical institution in recent were 40.0% for hospital, 16.8% for oriental hospital, 14.5% for public health center, 10.9% for drug store, 10.0% for others, and 7.8% for dental service. The percentages to the improvement of symptom after the use of medical institution were 62.3% for normal, 19.4% for improvement, and 18.2% for non-improvement. The percentages to the health situation were 37.1% for bad, 35.7% for good, and 27.1% for normal. Activities of daily living were 67.1% for 6 scores, 27.9% for 5 scores, 2.1% for 4 scores and ADL of women was lower than the men's. Instrumental activities of daily living were 50.4% for 5 scores, 19.3% for 3 scores, 12.1% for 4 scores and IADL of women was lower than the men's. Frequencies of disability in ADL were 28.9% for incontinence, 6.1% for bathing, 2.9% for meal, 2.5% for walking around house, 1.8% for toilet use, 1.4% for dressing and disability frequencies of women in 6 items of ADL were higher than the men's. The percentages of high, intermediate, low ADL in activities of daily living were 67.1%, 32.5%, 0.4% respectively and decrease of high ADL, increase of intermediate ADL were found with the increasing of age. Frequencies of disability in IADL were 42.9% for payment in and out, 31.8% for payment of written claim, 21.1% for shopping, 16.4% for preparation of meal, and 11.8% for use of bus. All items of women in IADL was higher than the men's but preparation of meal. The percentages of high, intermediate, low IADL in instrumental activities of daily living were 50.4%, 42.5%, 7.1% and decrease of high IADL, increase of intermediate IADL were found with the increasing of age. Mean of ADL with the general characteristics was 5.56 and 2 variables of level of education, health situation were statistically significant. Mean of IADL with the general characteristics was 3.76 and 8 variables of age, sex, level of education, occupation, presence of spouse, duty of living cost, health situation, category of ADL were statistically significant. With the result of stepwise regression, ADL was statistically related with religion, health situation and ADL was statistically related with level of education, living together with family, duty of living cost, health situation.

본 연구는 일부 전라북도 지역에 거주하는 노인을 대상으로 1999년 6월에서 12월까지 ADL, IADL의 정도와 이에 영향을 줄 수 있는 일반적 특성과의 관련성을 알아보고자 시도되었다. 조사대상 노인은 전체 281명이었고 이중 여자가 195명(69.6%)이었고 남자가 85명(30.4%)이었다. 남성과 여성의 평균연령은 70.8세와 71.9세 이었다. 질병유무에 있어서는 있다가 81.1%이었고 없다가 18.9%이었다. 질병의 유병률에 있어서는 운동 골관절질환은 50.1%, 기타가 15.0%, 순환기 질환이 10.5%, 소화기 질환이 9.4%, 치과질환이 8.5%, 호흡기 질환이 6.3%이었다. 최근에 이용한 의료기관에서는 병의원이 40.0%, 한방병의원이 16.8%, 보건소가 14.5% 약국이 10.9%, 기타가 10.0%, 치과의원이 7.8%이었다. 증상의 호전여부에 대해서는 보통이다가 62.3%, 호전되었다가 19.4%, 호전되지 않았다가 18.2%이었다. 건강상태에 있어서는 나쁘다가 37.1%, 좋다가 35.7%, 보통이다가 27.1%이었다. 일상생활동작능력(ADL)은 6점이 67.1%, 5점이 27.9%, 4점이 2.1%이었고 여성의 ADL이 남성보다 낮은 경향이 있었다. 수단적 일상생활동작능력(IADL)은 5점이 50.4%, 3점이 19.3% 4점이 12.1%이었고 여성의 IADL이 남성보다 낮은 경향이 있었다. 일상생활동작능력(ADL)에 있어 장해빈도가 높은 순으로 보면 실금 28.9%, 목욕 6.1%, 식사 2.9%, 집안 걸어다니기 2.5%, 화장실 1.8%, 옷 갈아입기 1.4%이었고 6항목 모두 남성보다 여성의 장해빈도가 높았다. 일상생활동작능력에서 고 ADL 67.1%, 중 ADL 32.5%, 저 ADL 0.4%로 연령의 증가에 따라 고 ADL은 감소하는 경향이 있었고 중 IADL은 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 수단적 일상생활동작능력(IADL)에 있어 장해빈도가 높은 순으로 보면 현금출납 42.9%, 청구서 지불(납부) 31.8%, 시장보기 21.1%, 식사준비 16.4%, 버스이용 11.8%이었다. 식사준비를 제외한 모든 항목에서 여성이 남성보다 IADL에 있어 장해빈도가 높았다. 수단적 일상생활동작능력에서 고 IADL 50.4%, 중 IADL 42.5%, 저 IADL 7.1%로 연령증가에 따라 고 IADL은 감소하는 경향이었고 중 IADL은 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 ADL의 평균은 5.56이었고 학력과 건강상태가 통계학적으로 유의한 변수이었다. 일반적 특성에 따른 IADL의 평균은 3.76이었고 연령, 성별, 학력, 직업, 배우자 유무, 동거가족, 생활비 부담, 건강상태, ADL 분류가 통계학적으로 유의성있는 변수이었다. 단계적 중회귀분석결과 일상생활동작지수(ADL)와 종교, 건강상태 그리고 수단적 일상생활동작지수(IADL)와 교육수준, 동거가족, 생활비, 건강상태가 통계학적으로 관련성이 있는 설명변수이었다.
