The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the elderly with disability focused on comparison between aging with disability and disability with aging in Korea. Disability in older age has been related to several psychosocial characteristics, including social support, self-esteem, life satisfaction and depression. However, the exact role of these characteristics in the disablement process remains uncertain and this study focused on comparison between aging with disability and disability with aging in Korea. This study analyzed the 12th wave (2017) KWPS(Korean Welfare Panel Study)and Disability Study which included 692 elderly with disability aged 65 and over. The data were processed by SEM and multi-group SEM analysis. The findings were as follows; First, family support and the significant others support showed direct effects on the life satisfaction of the elderly with disability. Second, family support and the significant others support reduced the level of depression and enhanced self-esteem and finally impact on the life satisfaction of the elderly with disability. The formal support enhanced the depression and reduced self-esteem and eventually reduced the life satisfaction. Third, the disability with aging group showed more higher perception and more experience of formal support and formal service and more higher depression than the aging with disability group. Forth, the significant others support on life satisfaction only showed significance in disability with aging group and depression had significance in disability with aging group. Finally, aging with disability group showed positive effects on the formal support of life satisfaction but showed negative effects on the depression and self-esteem. Based on these findings, practical implications of future directions for research are discussed.

The importance of barrier free is being highlighted worldwide. This study attempted to identify barrier-free research trends using text mining. Through this, it was intended to help with research and policies to create a barrier free environment. The analysis data is 227 papers published in domestic academic journals from 1996 when barrier free research began to 2022. The researcher converted the title, keywords, and abstract of an academic thesis into text, and then analyzed the pattern of the thesis and the meaning of the data. The summary of the research results is as follows. First, barrier-free research began to increase after 2009, with an annual average of 17.1 papers being published. This is related to the implementation guidelines for the barrier-free certification system that took effect on July 15, 2008. Second, results of barrier-free text mining i) As a result of word frequency analysis of top keywords, important keywords such as barrier free, disabled, design, universal design, access, elderly, certification, improvement, evaluation, and space, facility, and environment were searched. ii) As a result of TD-IDF analysis, the main keywords were universal design, design, certification, house, access, elderly, installation, disabled, park, evaluation, architecture, and space. iii) As a result of N-Ggam analysis, barrier free+certification, barrier free+design, barrier free+barrier free, elderly+disabled, disabled+elderly, disabled+convenience facilities, the disabled+the elderly, society+the elderly, convenience facilities+installation, certification+evaluation index, physical+environment, life+quality, etc. appeared in a related language. Third, as a result of the CONCOR analysis, cluster 1 was barrier-free issues and challenges, cluster 2 was universal design and space utilization, cluster 3 was Improving Accessibility for the Disabled, and cluster 4 was barrier free certification and evaluation. Based on the analysis results, this study presented policy implications for vitalizing barrier-free research and establishing a desirable barrier free environment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate for effective eye care service to the aged population of rural community. The results was as follow. 1. The aged who were using aids such as glasesses or had difficulties in everyday life without aids account for 66%. 2. The case of having some difficulties in everyday life and not using glasesses was 68persons(28.8%). 3. as for the reason why not using visual aids, 40.7% responded that they were able to see well without it and 31.4% could not have for burden of cost though in need of it.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an evidence-based dysphagia nursing care protocol for nursing home (NH) residents in Korea. Methods: The protocol was developed based on international guidelines and literatures. After testing content validity by experts, the protocol was applied to the intervention group (n=35) for 4 weeks at one NH in December, 2011, whereas the control group (n=34) received routine care. Results: The protocol was composed of one-page algorithm and detailed guidelines. Algorithm pathway was organized in 3 parts, including screening dysphagia risk, grouping by dysphagia risk level, and assigning nursing care into each group. The nursing care included positioning, oral care, meal time care, diet modification, providing exercise and maneuver, and checking dysphagia signs and symptoms. The experts verified the content validity. Protocol was revised to fit NH practice after the participant observation. Clinical validity was established upon evaluating usefulness, appropriateness, and convenience of the protocol by NH nurses. Dysphagia risk of the intervention group was significantly decreased. Conclusion: Developed protocol will improve the quality of dysphagia care in nursing homes as it can serve as a consistent and integrated standard for nursing care of residents with dysphagia.

본 연구는 재난발생 시 현장 상황 판단 및 대응 능력이 현저히 떨어지는 안전취약계층 중 장애인과 노인이 재난정보를 받고 안전하게 대피·대응할 수 있도록 지원하는 시스템의 시범적용에 대한 것이다. 재난정보 전달 및 대피지원 시스템은 재난에 취약한 장애인과 노인이 재난상황에서 각각의 취약 특성을 고려하여 재난 위기상황에 대응하도록 설계 하였으며, 실내 위치측정에 관한 공간정보 표준 및 데이터 구축과 개발한 시스템을 설치하고 구현할 수 있는 실내 공간을 선정하여 시범적으로 적용하였다. 재난정보 및 대피지원 시스템의 시범적용을 위해 선정된 시설의 실내 공간정보 구축 및 현행화를 통해 실내 대피경로를 구축하고, 실제 시범적용을 통해 보완하는 과정을 수행하였다. 장애인·노인 대상 재난정보 전달 및 대피지원 서비스 구축을 위해 실내에서 재난발생 시 재난정보 데이터를 실시간으로 수집하고 스마트폰과 연계할 수 있는 연계 모듈을 개발하였다. 또한 재난정보를 스마트폰에 알릴 수 있는 알람 푸시 모듈, 재난정보 및 대피 안내 모듈과 시각 장애인의 실내 공간 인지를 위한 음성안내 모듈을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 IoT 기반의 통합관제 기술을 활용하는 서비스 제공을 통해서 정보전달의 사각지대를 해소하고 장애인·노인의 효율적 재난 대응을 위해 맞춤형 재난정보 전달 및 대피지원 서비스를 구축하고 시범적용의 과정을 통해 문제점을 보완하여 최종적으로 재난으로부터 안전취약계층의 안전성을 향상시키는데 목적이 있다.

의학 기술의 발달로 인해 현 사회의 노령 인구가 급증하는 가운데 노화로 인한 노인들의 신체능력 및 인지능력의 저하가 전 세계의 사회적 문제로 자리 잡았다. 인지능력의 저하는 치매로까지 연결될 수 있어 초기에 관리를 하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 인지능력 향상을 목적으로 다양한 콘텐츠가 제작되고 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 콘텐츠들이 디지털화를 통해 효용을 높이고 있으나 노인을 위한 콘텐츠는 사용자의 특성상 디지털 콘텐츠로의 전환 및 활성화가 쉽지 않아 아날로그 콘텐츠가 현재까지도 일상 및 병원 치료활동에 주로 활용되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 현재 사용 중인 아날로그 콘텐츠의 사례분석을 통해 노인 콘텐츠의 특성을 파악하고 한계점을 도출해 노인 인지능력 향상을 위한 콘텐츠가 제공해야 하는 특성과 발전해나가야 할 방향성을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 노인 경도인지장애 개선을 위한 서비스디자인 가이드라인 개발을 위한 선행연구로 수행되었다.
