The purposes of this study were to compare the disability prevalence and its related factors between men and women. The data used for the analysis was the National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2005, and the instrument of measuring disability was the K-ADL which had been developed by Won(2002). Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were used to test the gender difference. In the bivariate analyses, women had more disabilities than men among the entire elderly and the young elderly. However, there was not gender difference of disability among the old elderly. After controlling for age and other factors related to disability, no gender differences in the prevalence of disability were found. However, in the same analyses for the individual activities of daily living, men had more disabilities than women for all the activities except bathing and incontinence control. In conclusion, women's higher prevalence of disability in the univariate and bivariate analyses were spurious, because it was disappeared when other related factors to disability were controled for and women's disability became lower than men for some activities of daily living.

The result of analysis on first research question, the gender difference six dimensions among nine dimensions of daily life satisfaction come out statistically significant. And The result of analysis on second research question, come out statistically significant, too. Socioeconomic status: the lower class, physical condition: bad health, chronic disease is or not, family and other people's social supports, disability: serious turn out to be factors in common.

For this purpose, 3 intellectual disabilities with visual perception and ADL disorders participated in a clinical experiment to verify the effect of Computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program. They all have 5 common conditions in intellectual disability for objective experimental result. All participant were evaluated with Korean-Development Test of Visual Perception-2(K-DTVP-2), Wee Functional Independence Measure(Wee-FIM) before and after the planned intervention sessions. All intervensions were intensively carried out for 20weeks, 1 time a week. The result were as follows. K-DTVP and Wee-FIM scores were improved significantly compared to pre-intervention. Further studies are needed to verify the effect on various group and lots of participants.

The collected data were analyzed using a program called SPSS 22.0, and the methods used include descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows: First, low back pain in emergency room nurses positively correlated with impairments in the ADL and depression. Impairments in the ADL also positively correlated with depression. Second, low back pain in ER nurses influenced their depression, which was found to be mediated by the ADL.

The purpose of this study was to identify the correlations between disease related factors and disturbance of daily living in patients with fibromyalgia. A descriptive survey study design was used. Data were collected from 45 out patients diagnosed of fibromyalgia according to the conditions by American College of Rheumatology in I-city. The mean score of tender points were 15.00, fatigue was 8.67, quality of sleep was 12.94 and depression was 23.70. They have struggled with fibromyalgia for 6 years on an average. Among patients, 42.2% had to discontinue their job/learning due to their disease, and experienced a disturbance of daily living for 41.79 days during last 3 months. There were significant positive correlations between disturbance of daily living and tender points, depression, between fatigue and depression, quality of sleep, between quality of sleep and depression. As a result, fibromyalgia patients suffered from various disease related factors and disturbance of daily living.

The purpose of this study is to investigate daily lives of the intellectually disabled living in residential facilities. The daily time use method that monitors and records 24 hours of the subject was used for the analysis of daily lives of the institutionalized disabled and verbal interaction patterns within each facility. In particular, the analysis focused on 'frequency of activities' and 'lives', with the method of time budget. Based on the activity category table of the 2004 nationwide Time Use Survey, the analysis aimed to identify differences and similarities between the non-disabled and the disabled in terms of daily time use. The interaction pattern analysis method on grounds of the Flanders Category system(1963) indicates the level, the type, and the full details of interaction between the institutionalized disabled and the living rehabilitation teachers. This study is all the more significant in that it monitored the daily lives of the institutionalized disabled for the first time to allow in-depth understanding about the daily lives of the disabled; analyzed interaction patterns between the institutionalized disabled and living rehabilitation teachers; applied time budget study method, a frequently used one in adjacent fields, and therefore should serve as a valuable source material for future studies.
