  • 본 연구의 목적은 최근 건설된 노인전용 조합주택으로 입주한 노인가구를 대상으로 거주자 측면에서의 주거환경 평가이며, 아울러 미국 조합주택에 대한 이해를 도모하고자 한다. 설문지를 통해 수집한 자료는 빈도와 백분율 회귀분석을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 총 171가구가 본 조사에 참여하였다. 조사대상 가구주의 평균 연령은 76세였으며 교육 수준은 높았고, 가족형태는 부부나 독남가구가 대다수였다. 조사에 참여한 가구들은 저렴한 주택비용, 안전성, 주택유지 및 관리의 용이성, 주거 내의 접근용이성을 현 주거환경의 선택 동기로 손꼽았다. 현 주거환경의 평가를 물리적 환경, 사회적 환경, 그리고 거주자 참여방식의 관리에 대한 만족도로 크게 3가지로 나뒀으며, 물리적 환경 관련 요소가 주거환경 평가와 관련한 만족도에 가장 중요하게 작용하였다. 본 연구결과는 장기적인 주택관련 비용의 저렴화와 노인의 독립성을 위한 지원성이 강화된 물리적인 환경의 구축이 무엇보다 주거환경 평가시 중요하므로, 향후 노인전용 대안주택 계획시 이점에 대해 고려되어야 할 것이다.

  • This study was conducted to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Multifactorial Fall Prevention Program (MFPP) for local low-income elderly people on physical·psychological, and home environmental hazards, and falling frequency. The selected elderly people was provided the MFPP during an eight-week period of time, once a week, 70 to 90 minutes per each section. The design of this study was non-equivalent control-group with repeated measuring by quasi-experimental study. Data were collected before treatment, 8 week after treatment and 4 week after retention from July to October, 2010. Data were analyzed with numbers, percentage, Fisher's exact test, x2-test, repeated measures ANOVA, ANCOVA and Logistic regression. There were significant differences in fall frequency, balance, fear of falling, fall efficacy, home environmental hazards between the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). This study showed that the multifactorial fall prevention program(MFPP) was useful nursing intervention for strengthening physical·psychological and environmental functions of the low-income elderly people, as well as preventing fall.

  • 노화가 시작되면 체력이 저하되어 면역기능이 떨어져 쉽게 병에 걸리고 환경에 대한 적응력이 떨어진다. 특히 60세 이상이 되면 근육 양과 근력이 급격히 가속화되어 신체적으로 약화되기 시작한다. 노화는 자연스럽게 진행되지만 꾸준한 운동을 통해 근력 저하 속도를 늦출 수 있다. 근력 증강을 위한 다양한 기기 개발에도 불구하고 노인들이 사용하는데 어려움이 있다. 특히 노인 신체적 특성에 맞는 운동기기 개발이 절실하며, 노인의 흥미를 유발시켜 자발적 참여를 유도하는 환경이 제공되어야 한다. 가상현실 기술은 실재하지 않거나 먼 거리에 있는 환경을 가상세계로 생성시켜서, 인간의 오감을 각종 인터페이스 장치를 통해 신호를 전달하여 가상의 현실 환경에 실재하고 있다고 느끼도록 만들어 주고, 가상세계와 상호작용을 통해 의료 진단, 치료, 재활 등에 유용한 도구 및 환경을 제공한다. 이러한 가상현실 기술의 특성 때문에 노인의 운동 참여와 운동 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 근력의 특성을 분석하고 노화와 근력과의 관계를 조사하고, 상지근력 증강 운동기와 해당 가상현실 컨텐츠 그리고 관련 컨텐츠 개발 동향에 대해 제시하고자 한다.

  • 고령화가 가속되면서 독거노인의 사회적 고립으로 인해 신체, 정신적 어려움이 발생하고 고독사하는 노인들의 수가 증가해 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 또한 독거노인 관리를 위한 정부 인력은 한정되어 한 명이 담당해야 하는 사람의 수가 너무 많아 수많은 독거노인의 안전과 복지를 보장하는 데 현실적인 어려움이 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 독거노인의 안전과 복지를 책임지기 위해 IoT와 각종 센서를 활용하여 생체 정보를 수집하는 웨어러블 기기를 제작하고 데이터베이스 서버를 활용한 IT 인프라 구축을 통해 적은 인력으로 효율적인 의료 지원을 목표로 한다. 본 논문은 독거노인의 거주 환경에서 생체 데이터를 수집하고 이를 효과적으로 분석하여 컴퓨터를 통해 실시간으로 모니터링이 가능하다. 이는 고독사 상황을 사전에 감지할 뿐만 아니라 노인들의 일상생활에서 발생할 수 있는 위험 상황에 즉각적인 대처를 통해 독거노인의 안전 및 복지 수준 향상에 기여하고 나아가 소외 계층의 의료 환경 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 예측된다.

  • Recently, human life and the low birth rate and aging population has increased exponentially. Entry into an aged society in the present case and the different policy alternatives, and is a reality. Resolution of one of these older active community participation and production activities to foster a rich life, infants need to be able to build a ubiquitous environment can be damaging. Latest IT technology in the development of intelligent life on all human life even more convenient by combining the computer and try to build a productive environment is. You simply connect your computer to the elderly rather than older users to use, efficient and productive way to improve efforts to follow. Emerging as an alternative to the more efficient interfaces for ubiquitous computing, user interface design criteria, albeit a little uncomfortable by suggesting improvements of the elderly and their participation in production activities helped to improve the quality of life. Ubiquitous environment, as well as means to improve the living environment of older people live independent lives, as given us is that you can get the premise of this study was in progress.Thus, by analyzing the characteristics of the elderly for the elderly by offering more efficient way to interface design for a new era of ubiquitous pushing back the boundaries of the elderly have been instruments to achieve social vitality.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate the major determinants influencing on health promoting behaviors(HPB) of the elderly living in Seoul. The conceptual framework of the study was Pender's health promoting model and the ecological perspectives. The study was conducted with 495 elderly persons whom 60 years old. For the analysis of data, descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression were used for the statistical analysis with SPSS program. The results were as following: 1) The mean score of the HPB was 3.11(SD=0.41). 2) Hierarchical regression analysis found that ModelIV accounted for 55.7% of the variance in HPB. 3) The Major determinants on HPB among the elderly persons were prior related perceived benefits of action, social support, perceived self-efficacy, community environment, perceived health status, education, and age. In conclusions, first, we should develop to various levels of educational and supportive programs for the HPB among the elderly persons. Second, we should examine more with environment, the accessibility to senior welfare agencies. Third, we should be organized the self-help groups for the elderly persons to improve health promoting behaviors. Fourth, the government should established more secure environment for the HPB, and find better solutions that are provided by various social welfare agencies connected with the coordination of the services in the local communities.

  • This study was performed to test the influence of older people's satisfaction factors (safety and convenience) of housing environment on their quality of life and the mediating effect of self-esteem and depression. In this study, from 386 older people over the age of 60 in senior welfare center and senior club of Cheongju region, the data were collected by questionnaire during October, 2012. The findings of this study are as follows: First, safety had not any significant influence on older people's quality of life, while convenience had a significant positive influence on their quality of life. Second, safety had not any significant influence on older people's self-esteem and depression, while convenience had a significant positive influence on older people's self-esteem and it had a significant negative influence on their depression Third, older people's self-esteem had a significant positive influence on their quality of life, while older people's depression had a significant negative influence on their quality of life. Fourth, between safety and older people's quality of life, the indirect effects of older people's self-esteem and depression as mediating variables were not found. However, between convenience and older people's quality of life, the indirect effects of older people's self-esteem and depression as mediating variables were found. This study shows that various measures for convenience of housing environment need to be prepared to increase older people's quality of life and self-esteem and to lessen their depression.

  • In the COVID-19 crisis, the elderly over 60 have various psychological health problems such as depression, anxiety, and fear, and the community has become the only space for senior activities. To this end, this study presented a therapeutic aging-friendly community environmental design evaluation system using theoretical review, FGI interview, and hierarchical analysis AHP. The evaluation system is a three-dimensional space, with 10 upper layers and 68 lower layers. In addition, the weight of each index of the evaluation system was distributed through expert survey and SPSS program analysis. First, the material space environment design must satisfy the comfort and health of the elderly when they are active in a common space for their daily life. Second, the design of social space environment is designed to promote exchange and social connection among the elderly. Third, the operating space environment design considers the operating system of the community operating company as important. Through this, it is expected to improve the psychological health of the elderly by providing systematic technical basis and action guidelines for the development of the residential environment of the elderly.
