본 연구의 목적은 젊은 성인들의 레저인식과 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동 간의 관계를 조사한 연구로서, 호주의 대학생 433명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. '활동적 사회적', '일관련', '스포츠 신체적', '창조적', '파괴적', '휴식적', '수동적 기술의존적' 모두 8개의 우울한 기분 완화 레저 행동 형태가 분석되었고, 이 중 '활동적 사회적', '스포츠 신체적', '야외활동과 여행' 요인이 '레저인식'에 정(+)의 관계의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동 요인들은 레저인식의 4개 하위차원과도 유의한 관계를 갖고 있었으며, '현명한 레저참여' 요인이 우울한 기분 완화 레저행동과 가장 높은 관계를 갖고 있었으며, 다음은 '레저기술'로 나타났다, '레저지식'과 '레저태도'는 비교적 전자보다 낮은 관계성을 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

The aims of this study were to investigate the level of activity in the elderly residing in city and rural area and to determine the contributing factors to quality of life (QOL). Subjects were 537 who were older than 60 years of age. QOL was assessed by the SF-36, and the level of activity was assessed by the Korean Activity Checklist. QOL in the elderly residing in city was higher than that in the elderly residing in rural area, and the level of activity was also higher in the elderly residing in city in instrumental activities of daily living, low and high level of physical activity, and social activity compared with the elderly residing in rural area. There was a significant correlation between the level of activity and QOL. The contributing factors to QOL were QOL lower level scores, the Korean Activity Checklist scores, health status, and occupation in the elderly residing in city, whereas the contributing factors to QOL were QOL lower level scores, the Korean Activity Checklist scores, health status, age, and level of education in the elderly residing in rural area. From the findings of this study, the environment in that the elderly can enjoy meaningful activity should be constructed and various programs should be developed.

지난 30여년 동안 급속한 경제 성장과 생활 양식의 변화는 우리 사회에 많은 변화를 초래하였고 한국인의 질병 양상에도 많은 영향을 주었다. 동물성 식품과 지방질 섭취의 증가, 신체활동 감소,노령인구 증가, 생활양식의 서구화 및 도시화 등은 한국인에서 만성질환의 발생과 이환을 증가시키고 있다. 통계청의 2001년 사망원인통계를 보면 1위가 암, 2위가 뇌혈관 질환, 3위가 심장질환, 4위가 당뇨병, 5위가 간질환으로 모두 잘못된 생활습관으로 인한 만성질환이다. 이중에서도 당뇨병은 지난 1991년 이후 암 다음으로 많이 증가한 질병으로 인구 10만명 당 23.8명이 당뇨병으로 사망했으며 하루 평균 당뇨병으로 31명이 사망한다. 2002년 4월, 대한당뇨병학회의 "한국인의 당뇨병 발생 현황 보고"에 따르면 우리나라 성인의 당뇨병 유병률은 10%선으로 최소 3백만명에서 최대 5백만명 정도가 당뇨병을 앓고있다. 우리나라는 식생활의 서구화, 고령화 등으로 당뇨병 환자가 급증하고 있어 생활 양식의 개선이 이루어지지 않을 경우 앞으로 10년 안에 전체 국민의 1/4정도인 1천2백만명 가량이 당뇨병으로 고통을 받게 될 것이라 한다. 당뇨병은 당뇨뿐만 아니라 그에 따른 만성 합병증이 매우 무서운 병으로 일단 발병하면 적극적인 치료에도 불구하고 정상으로 회복되기 어렵다. 따라서 합병증의 효과적인 예방을 위해서는 특별한 임상 증상이 없더라도 당뇨병을 처음 진단 받은 날부터 주기적인 검진을 통하여 조기에 발견해 낼수 있도록 노력하여야 한다. 이와 더불어 주기적인 혈액 검사와 주치의 면담을 통하여 정상 혈당을 유지할 수 있는 혈당 조절 방법과 함께 만성 합병증을 예방할 수 있는 생활 습관 개선(금연, 금주,표준체중 유지,규칙적 운동,정상 혈압 유지,정상 혈중 지질 유지등)을 반드시 실천하여야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to identify walking time, self-efficacy for exercise, sleep quality and depression in order to confirm the relationship between college students' activity level and psychological index. The research method is a cross-sectional descriptive survey of college students. The subjects of this study were 135 students enrolled in colleges in Gyeongbuk. Self-efficacy for exercise was higher than the average, and walking time was about 1.7 hours per day on average, walking less than 2 hours. Sleep quality was most of them had problems with their sleep quality (71.9%). Depression was about half of the students showed a tendency to be depressed (49.6%). It was found that there was a correlation between self-efficacy and depression for exercise (p=.012). This study can be used as basic data for the development of programs to increase physical activity and improve psychological index of college students in the future.

Exercise has been shown to positively influence quality of life for elderly men with a wide variety of medical illnesses. Tai chi exercise, a slow and graceful form of exercise and meditation, has especially been offered as the ideal exercise for elderly men with diverse conditions, such as people suffering from chronic heart failure or breast cancer survivors. In one recent study, Tai Chi was found to improve exercise capacity, sleep stability, and quality of life in heart failure patients including elderly men. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of 16 weeks of Tai Chi exercise (3 times/week, 60 min/trial, 40-50% HRR) on physical and physiological changes. Sixty four healthy volunteers without any particular disease between the ages of 65 and 79 years participated in the study. The results were as follows; Significant changes of cardiac endurance, strength, muscle endurance, flexibility and balance were observed following 16 weeks of Tai Chi exercise (p<0.05). In addition, significant changes of diastolic blood pressure, body fat and fat-free mass were observed following 16 weeks of Tai Chi exercise (p<0.05). These findings suggest that a brief period of Tai Chi exercise is beneficial, particularly to elderly men. It is especially beneficial for body composition, and physical fitness factors such as cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle endurance, flexibility, and balance. Further study is needed in this area for specific disease patients.

In this study, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of community-based rehabilitation on patients with brain injury by ICF factor in previous studies and examine the application of recent community-based rehabilitation program. Total 15 articles that satisfied the selection criteria were divided by ICF factors to obtain the effect size. Homogeneity and publication bias were tested for those selected papers. As a result, the overall effect size of community-based rehabilitation was 0.22; the effect size by physical function and structure among the ICF factors came to be 0.21; and the effect size of activity and participation was 0.20, indicating a small effect size. The studies involved in a meta-analysis were considered as the absence of heterogeneity and publication bias, which indicates that the results of this study are subjectively reliable. These results well explained the level of change on ICF factors, especially physical function and structure, activity and participation, in other words, the intervention effect of community-based rehabilitation on patients with brain injury.

The Purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of hearing impairment on HRQOL in Korean elders. We carry out a cross-sectional analysis using nationally representative data from the KNHANES, 2016-2018. The survey was conducted on 4,754 elders who responded to questions about hearing impairment. Quality of life was compared between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment using the t-test and chi-square test, and factors related to quality of life were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression using SPSS version 22.0. There was significant difference in quality of life between hearing impaired elders and elders with no hearing impairment. Walking exercise were identified as factors related to quality of life in elders with hearing impairment, while marriage status, walking exercise and limited movement were found to be related to quality of life among elders with no hearing impairment. In order to improve the HRQOL of elders with hearing impairment, multidisciplinary efforts and development of educational programs are required.
