The purpose of this study is to clarify the concept of the frail elderly and to obtain theoretical evidence. The research method was conducted using the basic principles for conceptual analysis of Walker and Avant(2005). As a Result of a review of the literature about how to utilize the concept of a frail elderly, frail elderly might be in the intermediate state of health and disease. They can be defined as physically vulnerable in the sarcopenia, inflammation, insulin resistance, and preceding advanced disease, lead to hospitalization, falls, disability, and death. The attributes were physiological, psychological, and socio-environmental and economic factors, so they had multidimensional factors. They were required the assist daily living of another person.

Along with the well-established evidence on the negative effect of social isolation on physical and mental health, increasing attention has been paid to multi-dimensional nature of social isolation. One line of study on social isolation has discussed different pathways between objective and subjective social isolation and health. Another stream of the research focused on the possibly non-linear association between social isolation and health by age cohort groups. Drawing from the two lines of research, this study aimed at empirically examine to what extent objective and subjective social isolation are associated with physical and mental health independently and how the associations vary by three age cohorts(i.e. the middle-aged, the young old, the old-old). Data came from the first wave of Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project (KSHAP) (N= 814). Findings showed 1) objective subjective isolation were significantly related with worse physical and mental health, interestingly, subjective social isolation was associated with mental health only, 2) pattern of association between social isolation and physical health varied by age cohorts. Specifically, compared to the middle-aged, the young old with higher objective social isolation exhibited lower level of physical health, while the old-old with higher subjective social isolation were likely to experience lower physical health. Based on the findings, we discussed implications and suggestions for future research and relevant policy/program development for ameliorating objective and subjective social isolation.

The validity and reliability were tested for verifying the developed questionnaire for healthy aging. The data were collected between June 12, 2006 and October 27, 2006. The mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness, reliability, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor were analyzed for statistical purpose using by SPSS-Win 12.0 program. The results were as follows; First, to obtain content validity, the results of previous research and the value system responses were submitted to a judgement group. Second, the results of the factor analysis of the 20 items making up the questionnaire were classified into the following 3 factors; physiological health(6 items), cognitive-mental health(6 items), social-support health(8 items). Third, the reliability of the questionnaire for healthy aging was 0.891(Cronbach's alpha). In the factor analysis Cronbach's alpha correlations for the 4 factors ranged from 0.642 to 0.885. Fourth, the results of confirmatory factor analysis, all the index values(NFI, RFI, CFI, Delta 2 IFI) were close to 1. Thus, this questionnaire demonstrated good reliability and validity and therefore it was an appropriate measurement of healthy aging.

Purpose: The aims of this were to analyse the quantitative research trends and describe the factors influencing health related to quality of life (HRQoL) and instruments used to HRQoL after Intensive care units (ICU) discharge. Methods: This study were included 84 published papers regarding HRQoL after ICU discharge from initial data to December 2015. Results: The majority of papers were performed abroad. Only 4 papers with regard to HRQoL of ICU survivors were performed by nurses. 36 studies (42.8%) were used to measure HRQoL ICU survivors using the SF-36. 29 studies (34.5%) were used to measure HRQoL at 3~6 months after ICU discharge. Older age, longer length of stay at ICU, severity of illness, anxiety and depression were main risk factors to lower HRQoL in ICU patients. Conclusions: This study provides a better understanding of quality of life follwing critical illness. Therefore, further stduy is needed to develop patient centered intervention considered patients'health status and recovery phase. Additionally, large prospective multicenter cohort studies should be required.

In this study, the trends of respiratory disease (ICD10: J00-J99) cardiovascular disease (ICD10: I00-I99) from the day of onset of treatment to re-admission after admission were confirmed in Seoul, and the largest decrease was observed when the no-treatment period was 0 day. The data reduction rate when the no-treatment period is 0 day is judged to be due to the monthly separation claim of the health insurance claim data. Also, the result that there is a tendency of monthly separation request according to the type of medical treatment.

Focusing on increasing of single-person households this study aims to develop a scale to measure the healthiness of lifestyle among single-person households. The concept of healthiness of lifestyle is based on the theories of family strength and family ecology. We draw 50 items that encompass basic needs, individual, familial, and social aspects of single-person life. Using a sample of 317 persons who live alone, this study examined a factor structure of the items and selected 44 items based on the results of factor analysis. Reliability and criterion- and construct validity were also examined. The final scale consists of four domains; basic needs (finance, housing, consumption, and future plan), work·life balance (time management, health, and stress), family relations, and social participation (social network, social interests, and community participation). This scale can be used as an assessment measure of the healthiness of lifestyle of single persons who participate in programs in Healthy and Multicultural Families Support Centers.

본 연구에서는 남녀 중고등학생을 대상으로 그들의 휴대전화 문자메시지 사용 실태 및 몰입 정도가 자신의 심리와 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 분석하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 분석결과, 문자 메시지를 사용하는 빈도가 높을수록 부적응/일탈 정도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 메시지 사용수준이 중간인 집단과 높은 집단은 낮은 집단에 비해 강박/집착 정도가 높은 것으로 나타났고,. 메시지 사용수준이 중간인 집단과 높은 집단이 낮은 집단에 비해 금단 정도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 즉 문자 메시지를 많이 사용하는 청소년은 적게 사용하는 청소년에 비해 부적응/일탈정도가 높고, 강박/집착정도도 높고, 또한 금단정도가 높아 문자 메시지가 청소년의 정신 병리적 장애를 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 문자 메시지를 사용하는 빈도가 높은 집단이 낮은 집단이나 중간인 집단에 비해 혼미성이 매우 높게 나타났다. 이는 문자 메시지를 많이 사용하는 청소년은 적게 사용하는 청소년에 비해 혼미성이 높다는 것을 시사한다. 마지막으로 몰입정도의 세 가지 구성개념인 부적응/일탈, 강박/집착, 금단요인이 자기 통제 능력의 구성개념인 착각성 및 혼미성과의 상관이 유의하게 나타났다. 이는 휴대전화 문자메시지과다사용으로 청소년들이 건강한 성장을 하는데 악영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다.
