This study was carried out to examine relationships between financial pressures, depression, the quality of life related with economic stress factors on patients suffering from chronic strokes residing in Daejeon. 209 patients with chronic stroke being treated in genernal hospital were selected as subjects for this study. Data were collected by conducting 1:1 interviews through questionnaires. The study examined differences in patients' economic stress, depression, standard of living and the quality of lives through collected data. The results showed statistically meaningful analysis in standard of living(p<.000), economic pressure (p<.000), depression (p<.05), the quality of life (p>.05), the standard of living (p<.05). The higher the economic pressure, depression indexes or very severe the standard of living the lower the quality of life index, so the economic stress meaningfully increases. If an objective economic stress index is devised by measuring the level of economic burdens in common with guardians of patients and patients themselves, the index will become clinically important data. Furthermore, there requires the development of medical mediation that can reduce economic stress and increase the quality of life for patients suffering from strokes.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of arthritis and comorbid chronic conditions on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the Korean older population. The study subjects were 2,708 Korean adults aged 65 and older from the $3^{rd}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys data: 1,357 persons with a single chronic condition, such as arthritis, herniations of the intervertebral disc, osteoporosis, asthma, peptic ulcers, stroke, or cataract; 886 persons with arthritis and a second chronic condition described above; and 465 persons with no chronic condition. An analysis of covariance was performed to compare the EQ-5D index among the groups. The effects of arthritis, second chronic condition and their interactions were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. The results are as follows. Compared to men with arthritis only, men with stroke only, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index. Women with a stroke only, asthma only, cataract only, osteoporosis and arthritis, peptic ulcer and arthritis, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index than women with arthritis only. Arthritis and comorbid conditions had additive effects on the HRQol in both genders except for arthritis and stroke in women. In conclusion, comorbid chronic medical conditions in older people with arthritis may reduce the HRQoL in an additive manner.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify physical and psychological effects of life-oriented forest healing program (LOFH) using urban forests in adults over 40 years of age. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pre-posttest design was used. There were 50 participants in the experimental group and 52 in the control group (a total of 102 individuals). The LOFH was conducted twice a week (3 hours per week) for a total of four weeks. Body composition, psychological states (such as depression and anxiety), and quality of life (QOL) were measured before and after the program. Results: Depression was significantly reduced in the group to which the forest healing program was applied. There was no significant difference in body composition (body mass index, body fat percentage, muscle mass, lean mass), other psychological states (anxiety, mood), or QOL. Conclusion: The LOFH was useful for improving depression in adults over 40 years of age. It is necessary to develop other LOFHs to improve body composition and quality of life.

하천공간은 홍수방어와 용수사용을 위한 수자원관리 측면의 공간에서 벗어나 국민들의 삶의 질 제고와 이용편익, 생활환경의 중심 공간으로 자리매김하고 있다. 국민의 하천에 대한 눈높이가 상승하고 있음에도 하천공간이 주는 여러 가치에 대해서는 학술적 검토가 미진하였으며, 그에 따라 정책에도 제한적으로 반영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 설문조사, 요인분석 등을 통해 주민 입장에서 부여할 수 있는 하천의 다면적 가치를 식별하고 주민친화적 관리를 위한 성과지표를 개발하고자 하였다. 특히 본 연구가 개발하고자 하는 성과지표 체계는 기존 방식대로 객관화·정량화가 불가능한 주민의 정성적·주관적 만족도를 측정할 수 있는 지표를 개발하는 것에 목적이 있다. 먼저, 관련된 각종 선행연구 및 도로 등 타분야 사례, 일본 등 해외 사례 등을 종합하여 하천의 4가지 사업부문인 치수, 이수, 환경, 친수를 모두 포괄하는 지표체계안을 구축하였다. 다만 본 연구가 주민친화적 하천관리를 목적으로 하므로 상대적으로 환경·친수 부문 지표의 비중이 높았으며, 총 지표 개수는 25개로 도출하였다. 도출한 지표체계안을 바탕으로 주민 대상 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 요인분석법을 활용하여 지표체계를 재정리하였다. 요인분석법은 학술적·실무적으로 가장 널리 사용되는 PCA 추출법과 Varimax 회전법을 채택하였으며, KMO 및 Barlett's 검정법을 활용하여 자료 검정을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하천 부문 주민만족 요인은 3가지로 나타났으며, 이를 각각 '최소친수기반요인', '안전·청결기반요인', '친수활동지원요인'으로 정의하였다. 요인 분석 결과를 바탕으로, 3개 영역, 6개 세부 영역, 24개 평가항목으로 구성된 성과지표 체계를 도출하였다. 마련된 성과지표의 항목별 중요도를 전국 대상 설문조사를 통해 분석한 결과, 영역 중에서는 '안전·청결기반요인'이 가장 중요한 것으로 나타났으며, 특징적으로는 CCTV, 장애·위험물 제거, 수질·공간청결성, 공공화장실 만족성 등이 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대전지역 국가하천과 지방하천을 사례지역으로 성과지표를 비교한 결과, 국가하천의 성과가 대체로 높게 나타났으며 '최소친수기반요인' 영역의 성과가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Nowadays, many people have much interest in health and quality of life. They can get information on foods known to have remedial value for certain illness from many healthcare experts on TV health related shows. Moreover, a lot of studies on these foods and their remedial value are consistently published. Thus, this study, on the ground that if we know prognosis of a certain disease in advance we can lead a better life without suffering from diseases, statistically analyzes specific students' responses to sub-health questionnaire. The analysis reveals that results of testing the equality of gender and 10 diagnosis indexes shows significant difference within 5% of significance level in 9 diagnosis indexes except for respiratory system. And the result of testing the equality of age and 10 diagnosis indexes indicates that there is no significant difference within 5% of significance level. In the study, students are divided into two age category. However, the age of 20s could be regarded as one category, which could be the reason why there is no significant difference.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the evaluation of long - term care institutions (evaluation rating, evaluation rating, suitability of evaluation index), quality of service of caregivers, Quality satisfaction, life satisfaction, and facility choice. After receiving the IRB, in January and February of 2018, the survey was completed for 79 long-term care institution managers, 381 nursing care workers, and 381 elderly people. The survey carried out an allocation sample reflecting the 2015 long - term care (facility benefit) evaluation results. The results of this study are as follows. First, it is found that the institutional evaluation (evaluation level, change of evaluation level, recognition of suitability of the index) has a greater impact on the quality of life of the elderly, appear. However, the intention of reselecting the facility after discharge was more influenced by the quality of services of caregivers. Therefore, except for the intention to reschedule the facility, it can be said that the evaluation of the National Health Insurance Corporation was partially validated.

The purpose of this research is to develop evaluation indicators for evaluating the social value of libraries and, for this, first of all, preliminary evaluation indicators were derived by analyzing comprehensively about 60 domestic and overseas papers which researched on the value of libraries. On the basis of the derived preliminary evaluation indicators, 11 experts were selected and the final evaluation indicators were developed by conducting Delphi survey three times. The final evaluation indicators are composed of five evaluation areas, which are the divided areas of the social value of libraries, such as the development of local communities, the linkage of local communities, the improvement of local residents' life quality, the equalization of local residents, and the information services necessary for local communities, 13 evaluation items, and 64 evaluation indicators. In the future, it seems that researches to measure the social value of libraries based on this will have to be conducted.

Korea's average annual working hours are among the highest in the OECD. Such long-term work has been a factor that reduces the quality of life by discouraging workers' productivity and interrupting the compatibility of work and family, prompting the government to encourage flexible work systems, such as increasing part-time jobs, but a lack of quality part-time jobs. Part-time work enables flexible labor for workers, but at the same time, workers will involuntarily opt for part-time work as they have poor working conditions and negative social views. In this respect, the effect of the working type on an individual's life is expected to be different. In addition, for women, gender gaps exist in the labor market and the impact of part-time work on life satisfaction is expected to differ from men in terms of working and family alike. Using the data from the 2017 "Seoul Survey Urban Policy Indicator Survey", the ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the cross-effect of working type and sex on satisfaction. The analysis of the study showed that when other factors were controlled, life satisfaction was high in the order of fulltime female, full-time male, part-time female, and part-time male. In addition, further analysis shows that the parttime female workers have the highest probability of choosing low life satisfaction, while the probability of choosing high life satisfaction is the lowest, and full-time male workers have the lowest probability of choosing low life satisfaction, while the highest probability of choosing high life satisfaction is the highest.
