고령화 사회로 접어들기 시작하면서 최근 안전에 대한 많은 문제가 떠오르고 있다. 또한 노인의 안전 및 복지에 관한 법률 및 제품들이 출시되고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노인의 안전에 관한 조사를 진행하였다. 노인의 상해의 주요인으로는 찰과상 및 타박상 또는 낙상사고가 있으며, 이러한 요인을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 활용하여 노인의 넘어짐 또는 미끄러짐과 같은 동작을 인지 할 수 있는 시스템에 대해 연구를 진행하였다.

해상과 같이 고립된 장소에서 발생하는 작업자의 사고는 일반적인 건설 사고와는 달리 통신의 제한 등의 문제로 구조에 어려움이 따른다. 또한 CCTV의 부재로 인한 사고 현장의 수색에 어려움이 생긴다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 이 논문에서는 작업 현장에서 필수적으로 착용해야 하는 안전모에 IoT 기술을 접목한 장치를 제안한다. 제안 장치는 기존의 안전모에 심박센서, 체온 센서, 가속도 센서 및 카메라 센서를 부착하여 설계 및 구현하며, 사용자 및 관제 센터에서 작업자의 상태를 모니터링 할 수 있게 한다. 또한 작업자에게 비정상적인 생체 신호나 낙상이 발생하면 영상을 관제센터로 전송한다. 제안 시스템을 활용하면 작업자의 상태를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있으므로 작업자의 사고에 대해 빠른 대처를 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to validate fall risk assessment scales among hospitalized adult patients in South Korea using the electronic medical records by comparing sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values of Morse Fall Scale (MFS), Bobath Memorial Hospital Fall Risk Assessment Scale (BMFRAS), and Johns Hopkins Hospital Fall Risk Assessment tool (JHFRAT). Methods: A total of 120 patients who experienced fall episodes during their hospitalization from June 2010 to December 2013 was categorized into the fall group. Another 120 patients, who didn't experience fall episodes with age, sex, clinical departments, and the type of wards matched with the fall group, were categorized to the comparison group. Data were analyzed for the comparisons of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and the area under the curve of the three tools. Results: MFS at a cut-off score of 48 had .806 for ROC curves, 76.7% for sensitivity, 77.5% for specificity, 77.3% for positive predictive value, and 76.9% for negative predictive value, which were the highest values among the three fall assessment scales. Conclusion: The MFS with the highest score and the highest discrimination was evaluated to be suitable and reasonable for predicting falls of inpatients in med-surg units of university hospitals.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the effect of pediatric fall prevention education with leaflets and picture books on the fall-related knowledge and preventive behaviors in caregivers of inpatient children. Methods: This study is a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. It divided 62 caregivers of inpatient children aged 5 and under into an experimental group and a control group in P general hospital located in B City. Results: Fall related knowledge score in the experimental group was increased by 2 points after the intervention and the score in the comparison group was increased by 0.1 points. The difference after the intervention in fall related knowledge scores between the two groups was statistically significant (t=7.67, p<.001). The fall related prevention behavior score of the experimental group increased by 9.3 points after the intervention, and the score of the comparison group increased by 2.5 points. The difference in the scores of fall related prevention behaviors between the two groups was statistically significant (t=5.71, p<.001). Conclusion: Pediatric inpatient fall prevention education using leaflets and picture books can improve caregivers' fall-related knowledge and preventive behaviors. In turn, this can reduce children's falls in pediatric wards in general hospitals.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a visual feedbackbased balance training, using force platform biofeedback, on the postural balance of elderly faller. Methods: Fifty one community-dwelling older adults (aged 66-88 years) with a recent history of fall participated in the study. Participants were randomized to an experimental group (EG, n=25) and to a control group (CG, n=26). The EG participated in training sessions three times/week for 6 weeks. Visual feedbackbased balance training with the a computerized force platform with visual feedback screen was used in the experimental group. Static balance (center of gravity) and dynamic balance (Functional reach test, Timed "Up & Go" test, Berg balance scale) were assessed before and after end of training. Results: A significant improvement in static balance and dynamic balance were demonstrated within the EG (p<.05), but not in the CG. Conclusion: Visual feedback-based balance training may be an effective intervention to improve postural balance of elderly fallers.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of a fall prevention education on the fall related knowledge and fall prevention behavior of the elderly patients in comprehensive nursing care service wards. Method: A quasi experimental study with control group and experimental group was used. A total 62 elderly patients in comprehensive nursing care service wards were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=30) and the control group(n=32). The data collection period was from August to December, 2017. Data were analyzed with $X^2-test$, paired t-test, independent t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient by using SPSS 25.0. Results: Experimental group reported higher score in fall related knowledge than the control group(t=-10.28, p<.001). Participants who viewed DVD and received the leaflet education reported higher score than those with routine admission education(t=-6.51, p<.001). The experimental group showed significant improvement in fall related knowledge and fall prevention behavior(r=.21, p=.015). Conclusion: The fall prevention program was effective in improving fall-related knowledge and fall prevention behavior among elderly patients. Since the DVD plus leaflet education was effective in improving prevention behaviors, it might be included in routine orientation on admission for the elderly patient in comprehensive nursing care service wards.

신체조성과 혈관탄성의 변화로 인한 심혈관질환과 근감소로 인한 낙상의 발생은 노화로 인하여 가장 빈번하게 발생하게 된다. 그래서 탄력밴드 저항운동은 노인들이 쉽고 안전하게 수행할 수 있으며 신체조성과 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 고령여성(>65 years)을 대상으로 12주간 저항운동을 실시한 후 신체조성, 혈관탄성, 낙상위험도지수에 어떠한 효과를 미치는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 저항운동은 주3회 한 회당 60분으로 구성되었고 운동 강도는 Borg의 운동자각도(6 - 20)에서 11-14로 설정되었다. 신체조성에 해당하는 체중, 근육량, 체지방률, BMI(Body Mass Index)와, 혈관탄성(맥파속도 (Pulse wave velocity (PWV)), 낙상위험도지수(Risk of falling)는 훈련 전과 후에 측정이 되었다. 연구 결과 신체조성에서 운동집단의 체중(p=.003), BMI(p=.002), PWV(p=.017), 낙상위험도지수(p=.037)는 유의하게 감소하였으나 통제집단에서 체중(p=.009), BMI(p=.009)는 유의하게 증가하였다. 따라서 여성노인들은 탄력밴드 저항운동을 통해 체중과 BMI를 감소시키고 혈관탄성에 긍정적인 효과를 얻게 되었다. 그리하여 탄력밴드 저항운동은 노인들의 대사증후군, 심혈관질환, 낙상사고의 발생률을 낮출 수 있는 매우 효과적인 운동이라 할 수 있다.

고령화 사회에 진입하면서, 고령자 사고 중 낙상이 차지하는 비율은 연령의 증가에 따라 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 고령자의 인체 활동 중 에너지 소비 추정 및 낙상의 유무를 판별하기 위하여 단일 칩으로 구성된 3축 가속도 센서와 다채널을 고려한 2.4GHz대역의 RF 칩을 이용하여 설계하였다. 제안하는 시스템은 인체 활동을 측정할 수 있는 신호 측정부와 RF통신부로 구성되어 있으며, 인체 활동 측정부는 인체 활동 중 소비된 에너지를 추정하고 고령자의 낙상 상태를 파악하기 위한 것으로 3축 가속도 센서를 활용하여 센서의 신호를 분석함으로써 인체 활동 및 낙상의 유무를 판별한다. RF통신부는 nRF24L01p로 구현하고, 프로세서는 저전력 8bit 마이크로 컨트롤러인 ATmega88로 구성한다. 에너지 소비를 추정한 결과 트레드밀과 비교시 제안하는 시스템과 7.8%의 오차를 보여 인체 활동 중 에너지 소비를 추정할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다. 인체활동과 낙상 검출을 위한 모니터링은 신호 벡터크기(Signal Vector Magnituge, SVM) 및 신호 크기 범위(Signal Magnitude Area, SMA)의 임계값으로 판별하며 무구속적 측정에 의한 판단이 가능하도록 구성하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nurses' experience of falls by inpatients. Methods: From December 30, 2015 to February 22, 2016 data were collected through in-depth individual interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Participants were 11 clinical nurses and 2 head nurses. Results: Nurses' experience related to inpatients' falls were categorized as follows: 'emotional impact after falls', 'responsibility for falls', 'changes after experience of falls', 'burden of reporting falls', 'difficulty in preventing falls', 'seeking new strategies for fall prevention' Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that there is a need to develop programs to help nurses overcome the emotional impact of falls. Also education should be provided to patients, caregivers and health providers in order to prevent falls and improve patient safety.
