The aims of this study are to identify levels of diabetes self-care activities and find associated factors of the elderly with Type 2 diabetes. The participants for this study were 264 elderly Koreans over 65 years old who visited one general hospital in S city in South Korea for their medical treatment. In the results, there are few statistically significant differences in general characteristics and disease related variables according with diabetes self-care activities (DSCA). DSCA showed negative correlation with depression (r=-.278, p=.033) and positive correlation with ADLs(r=.310, p=.013)and IADLs(r=.415, p=.001). Therefore, the findings of this study suggest implementing self-care activities to the elderly with diabetes based on their psychological factors (depression) and functional capacities (ADL and IADL). In addition, the advanced research will be needed for developing tailored nursing educations and interventions to improve diabetes self-care activities of elderly patients.

This study was conducted to identify the diabetes self-care (DSM) knowledge, DSM competence, DSM behavior, and quality of life according to HbA1c control in diabetic elderly. The participants were 205 diabetes elderly who visited the citizen health promotion center located in D city, Korea. Data were collected from April, 4 to August 31 2015, and were analyzed by the t-test and chi-squared test using IBM SPSS 23.0. The mean scores of DSM knowledge, DSM competence, DSM behavior and quality of life were $50.61{\pm}16.39$, $71.27{\pm}10.21$, $62.78{\pm}1.29$ and $0.86{\pm}0.11$, respectively. Additionally, DSM behavior (t=2.17, p=0.031), education level (t=11.80, p=0.0019) l, BMI (t=0.001, p=0.012), and number of visits to citizen health center (t=16.497, p=0.001) differed significantly between the controlled HbA1c group and uncontrolled HbA1C group. However, ANCOVA revealed that the level of HbA1c did not affect the DSM behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply a DSM education program that reflects the characteristics knowledge level of the elderly. In addition, healthcare institutions with high accessibility in terms of distance and cost to guide and manage desirable diabetic self-care behaviors should be provided everywhere.

침묵의 살인자로 불리는 당뇨병환자가 우리나라에서도 5백만 명을 넘어선 것으로 추정되고 있다. 70년대 50만 명 수준이던 당뇨병환자가 30년 사이 10배 가까이 늘어난 것이다. 이런 추세라면 15년 뒤인 2020년경에는 당뇨병환자가 천만 명에 달할 것으로 보고 있다. 말 그대로 '당뇨 대란'이 온 것이다. 더욱이 당뇨로 인한 사망률은 인구 10만명당 34.7 명으로 회원국 평균 13.4 명의 2.5배나 돼 OECD 회원국 가운데 가장 높다. 당뇨병환자가 급격히 증가한 것이 원인이지만, 무엇보다 당뇨관리가 부실한 것도 문제이다. 게다가 한국인은 체질적으로도 당뇨병에 취약한 것으로 나타나고 있다.

This study was conducted to identify the level of diabetes self-care knowledge, confidence, behavior and quality of life in elderly people with diabetes. The participants were 205 elderly with diabetes who visited a citizen health center located in D city. Korea. The data were collected from April, 20th to August 31th, 2015, and were analyzed by the t-test and ANOVA. The results were as follows; 1) The mean scores for diabetes self-care knowledge, confidence, behavior, and quality of life were 6.99 (2.17), 71.27 (10.21), 62.78 (1.29) and 0.86, respectively. 2) There were significant differences in the self-care behavior according to the education level, duration of diabetes mellitus and subjective health, and the quality of life differeddepending on the level of subjective health(F=35.253, p=0.000). 3) Knowledge of diabetes diet was the lowest among the various aspects of diabetes self-care knowledge. Confidence for exercise was lowest, while confidence for medication and blood sugar check was highest. However, the participants exhibited good medication behavior, whereasthey did not carry out blood glucose checks in their self-care management behavior. The most uncomfortable aspect of the quality of life was found to be pain and discomfort. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop guidelines and methods for dietary education reflecting the dietary habits of Koreans, and to investigatethe reasonsfor thelow performance of theblood glucose check. In addition, customized nursing interventionstaking into consideration the characteristics of elderly with diabetes need to be developed and verified.

자가 혈당측정은 당뇨관리에 매우 중요한 정보제공 수단이다. 스스로 측정하는 혈당은 본인의 혈당관리 상태를 알게 해주고, 앞으로 해야 할 혈당관리의 방향을 제시해 주기도 한다. 최근에는 과거에 비해 혈당관리 용품의 구입도 활발해 자가 혈당측정을 통해 자신만의 당뇨관리법을 터득해 나가고 있다. 이렇게 자가 혈당측정기를 통해 얻은 혈당수치의 결과가 정확해야만 그 자료를 토대로 치료와 관리를 적절히 대응할 수 있다. 혈당측정 결과의 정확성은 혈당측정기의 성능과 효용성, 기계사용자의 숙련도에 따라 달라지고 주기적으로 사용하는지와 측정기계에 대한 평가에 의해 그 정확성을 유지할 수 있게 된다. 또 스스로 측정한 혈당수치가 검사실에서 얻어진 혈당수치의 10-15%가 될 수 있어야 한다. 이 범위에 지속적으로 들지 않으면 자가혈당측정에 대한 지속적인 교육과 혈당측정기의 상태를 점검해볼 필요가 있다. 따라서 혈당수치의 오차가 왜 나타나고 수치의 정확성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

자가혈당측정은 당뇨병 관리에 있어 나침판과 지도와 같은 역할을 합니다. 이는 혈당수치를 보면서 고혈당과 저혈당을 확인하여 즉각적으로 대처할 수 있고, 식사요법, 운동요법, 스트레스 등이 혈당에 어떤 영향을 주는지도 확인할 수 있어 생활습관을 개선하는데 도움이 되기 때문입니다. 또한 인슐린주사를 하는 경우에는 혈당치를 확인하여 인슐린 용량을 조절할 수 있기 때문입니다. 이렇듯 자가혈당측정을 하는 것이 당뇨병관리에 있어 많은 도움이 되어도 혈당검사를 소홀히 하는 경우를 볼 수 있습니다. 이에 금번 호에서는 자가혈당 측정에 대한 당뇨병환자의 마음상태와 혈당에 대한 "감(Sense)을 파악하는 법과 혈당조절을 위한 행동요령에 대하여 소개합니다.

This study is the quasi-experimental research of nonequivalent groups and is designed to investigate the effects of an aquatic exercise program with diabetes self management education on the self care efficacy, self care behaviors in diabetic patients in community. The subjects of this study were 26 patients in the experimental group who participated in the aquatic exercise program and 25 patients in the control group who did not paricipated in. And they were registered at the W Health Clinic in D city. The aquatic exercise program was conducted twice a week for 80 minutes, and consisted of a 30 minutes diabetes self management education and a 50 minutes aquatic exercise. After this program, there were significant differences in FBS(p=.047), HbA1c(p<.001), diabetes self efficacy(p<.001), and self care behaviors(p<.001). In order to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and prevent complications in the community, it is believed that the constant operation of aquatic exercise programs including self management education is necessary.

본 논문은 무선 인터넷 환경에서 PDA 기반 당뇨관리 시스템의 설계 및 구현을 기술한다. 이 시스템은 클라이언트, 서버, 미들웨어 등으로 구성되는 3-계층 클라이언트/서버 구조이다. 클라이언트 환자용 PDA로 당뇨 자가관리 기능을 수행하고 매일 발생되는 데이터는 무선 통신으로 서버에 전송되어 DB에 저장되도록 하였고, 의사용 PDA는 DB에 저장된 당뇨환자의 데이터 모니터링 할 수 있도록 구성된다. 웹사이트는 당뇨관련 콘텐츠, 커뮤니티, 그리고 당뇨관리 데이터의 시각화하여 제공한다. 본 시스템의 구현 결과, 당뇨환자의 지속적인 자가관리를 지원할 수 있고, 당뇨관리 DB를 기반으로 체계적이고 효과적인 당뇨관리를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study identifies the moderating effects of cognition on the relationship between self-care confidence and self-care behavior in the diabetic elderly. The participants were 205 elderly subjects with diabetes, who visited a citizen health center located in D city, Korea. Data were collected from 20th April to 31st August 2015, and were analyzed by t-test and multiple regression. Our results reveal no significant differences between the depressive and non-depressive groups, when considering diabetes self-management confidence, knowledge, behavior and cognitive function. Cognitive function had a moderating effect in the relationship between self-care confidence and self-care behavior only in the depressed group. Our results indicate that it is therefore necessary to apply individual nursing intervention based on cognitive function and depression level, and to develop various programs for improving the cognitive function and depression amongst the diabetic elderly.
