This study aims to examine the participation status and working conditions of seniors that participate in senior social activity support project, and analyze the influential relationship with subjective participation satisfaction based on participant attributes. In terms of the participation status, participating seniors became aware of the project through facilities and about 70% participated in the public interest type; the primary goal was for a short-term financial preservation. As an analysis result on participation effectiveness, longer participation period and time affected the participation seniors' working conditions and self-esteem negatively, implying that a flexible and effective operation of participation period is necessary. Also, while seniors with financial stability were more positively affected on their subjective satisfaction, other significant variables had negative effects. This study holds a significance in providing political implications as the basic data to improve and vitalize future senior social activity support project through the analysis of effectiveness, such as working conditions, self-esteem and subjective satisfaction based on participant attributes, including participant characteristics, participation status and participation degree.

The aim of this study is to identify the influence of care services on the quality of life of elderly residents in long-term care facilities, and to determine the mediating effect of family support. The subjects of the study were 192 older adults living in long-term care facilities in the Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do region. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program, and the methods used include descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results of the study found that the subjects' quality of life differed depending on their age, education, income level of their children, reasons for admission, and length of stay. The factors that influenced their quality life included age, education, the income level of their children, reasons for admission, length of stay, and care services. The study also revealed that family support was the mediating effect in the relationship between care services and quality of life.

The development of science and technology has increased the average life expectancy and resulted in a significant increase in the elderly population. Due to the preponderance of the nuclear family in modern society and the weakening of the spirit of filial piety and respect for the elderly caused by the influence of Western civilization, elderly people are usually not living with their family, but have become dependent on elderly care facilities and, consequently, the number of elderly care facilities has increased significantly. On May 28, 2014, a fire occurred in the elderly care facilities in Jangseong, South Jeolla Province, and despite the rapid extinction of the fire by firefighters, 21 of the 28 casualties died due to smoke inhalation. This study was conducted for the purpose of providing measures to prevent smoke from entering into the rooms from which elderly people have difficulty evacuating in the case of fire. The use of the air curtain method to prevent smoke inflow was proposed and an experiment was conducted in which smoke was generated with a smoke generator. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that more than 90% of the smoke inflow was blocked if the door was closed in the room where the air curtain was installed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations between the cognitive functions, health conditions, activities of daily living, depression and sleep states among the elderly at care facilities. The subjects include 204 elderly people aged 65. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The findings show that the cognitive functions of the elderly at care facilities are related to their engagement in regular exercise, duration of residency, grade of care, lack of physical freedom, listening ability, state of teeth, urinary incontinence, activities of daily living, and state of sleep. Their cognitive functions had positive correlations with activities of daily living and negative correlations with state of sleep. Their cognitive impairment was significantly influenced by their engagement in regular exercise, duration of residency, grade of care, listening ability, ADL, IAD dependency, and sleep disorder. In short, the cognitive functions of the elderly at care facilities are highly related to their health conditions as perceived and felt by them. It is thus required to develop, apply, and consistently assess and manage cognitive rehabilitation training programs to provide interventions for the factors that influence their cognitive impairment.
