Purpose: This study attempts to examine the effects of a horticultural program on activities of daily living (ADL) and depression among older patients with mild dementia. Methods: This study adopted a quasi-experimental design-based nonequivalent control group pretest and posttest design, enrolling 30 older patients with mild dementia. The Korean Form of Geriatric Depression Scale was utilized, while the data was collected from the experimental group for 60 minutes, twice weekly for 6 weeks in 12 sessions. ADL and depression were assessed for both the experimental and the control group. Overall functions were assessed only for the experimental group. Results: The experimental group showed improvement in physical function, cognitive function, as well as psychological, emotional function and social function following each session (p<.001). The horticulture program was effective in both ADL ($Z^2=5.65$, p<.001) and depression (t=-5.24, p<.001). Conclusion: In this study, the horticultural therapy based on the Cox's interaction model had positive effects for older patients with mild dementia. Therefore, horticultural therapy may be commendably applied to older patients with mild dementia as a nursing intervention.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a computerized cognitive training on older adults affected by mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in terms of cognitive function, depression, self-esteem, and activities of daily living (ADL). Methods: This study used a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design. A total of 53 older adults who reside in long-term care facilities were recruited, 26 subjects for an experimental group and 27 subjects for a control group. A computerized cognitive training was performed for 20~40 minutes/day, three days/week for ten weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 with $x^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test. Results: Scores of MMSE (t=3.30, p=.002), depression (t=-2.15, p=.036), and self-esteem (t=2.76, p=.008) were significantly better in the experimental group than the control group. However, the difference in ADL (t=-1.01, p=.316) was not significant between the two groups. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the computerized cognitive training can be used as an effective nursing intervention to improve cognitive function and self-esteem and lower depression among older adults with MCI.

Purpose: Patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have impaired balance and movement control. Exercise interventions have not targeted these impairments in this population. This study aimed to investigate the effect of complex balance exercises on unstable ground, on the gait, balance, and daily living ability of patients with total knee arthroplasty. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The participants consisted of 30 patients placed into two groups of 15 each: a experimental group (complex balance exercise) and a control group (physical therapy exercise). Both group exercise was applied for 3 times a week for 30 minutes for four weeks. Force plate for balance ability and Timed up and go (TUG) test were the primary outcome measures. The secondary outcome measures included 10-m walk test (10MWT) and the daily living ability using the Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living scale (KOS-ADL). Results: The result of this study showed that the experimental group had a significant difference in TUG and 10MWT than the control group, and balance was significantly different in CEA, CPL, and CAV. There was a significant difference in daily living ability between the experimental and control groups. This study confirms that the physical therapy with complex balance exercise on unstable surfaces has positive effects on balance, gait and daily living ability in patients with total knee arthroplasty. Conclusion: As a result of this study, complex balance exercise on unstable surface was more effective in improvement gait, balance and daily living ability in total knee arthroplasty. From this study, physical therapy with complex balance exercises on unstable ground may be proposed as and effective intervention method for improving gait, balance, and daily living ability in patients with early total knee arthroplasty.

Objectives : To explore the causes that affect the level of Yangseng(養生) certain elderly people.(Level of Yanseng; The oriental medicine tool to measure Yanseng developed to fit the situation of korea) Methods : For this purpose, characteristics, Life Satisfaction and Activities of Daily Living were adopted as independent variables and analyzed statistically. Out of questionnaires distributed to the old people aged 65 or more living in Jeonbuk province, 824 replies were collected from April to June 2004 and processed for an analysis. Results : The analysis revealed that the higher points old persons tend to score in Total of Yangseng, the more they are inclined to be Life satisfaction, the higher K-ADL they get and the longer they have leisure. Rather old men than women or rather those who live with family than those who do not have more possibility to record higher scores of Total of Yangseng(R Square=0.365). There was greater possibility that the higher points persons can get in Morality Yangseng(R Square=0.200), Mind Yangseng(R Square=0.173), Diet Yangseng(R Square=0.139), Exercise Yangseng(R Square=0.353), Sleep Yangseng(R Square=0.187), Seasonal Yangseng(R Square=0.107), Sex life Yangseng(R Square=0.199), the more they tend to be Life satisfaction. It was revealed from the analysis that the better care old people pay to Activities & Rest Yangseng, the higher K-ADL they get(R Square=0.186). Conclusions : Front the above results, it may be concluded that approaches of Oriental medicine can contribute to maintaining and promoting health as well as preventing and controlling disease for old people who are in greater needs for proper health care in the aged period.

Objectives: To analyze the relationships of socioeconomic status(SES) to health status and health behaviors in the elderly. Methods: Data were obtained from self-administered questionnaire of 4,587 persons, older than 65 years, living in a community. We measured the sociodemographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, health status (subjective health status, acute disease, admission experience, dental state, chronic disease etc.), activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and mini-mental state examination-Korean (MMSEK). Binary and multinominal logistic regression analyses were employed to analyze factors affecting on the socioeconomic status of the elderly. Results: With regard to the SES and health status, those with a low SES had poorer subjective health states and lower satisfaction about their physical health. Also, acute disease experiences, admission rates and tooth deciduation rates were higher in those of low SES. In the view of physical and cognitive functions, the ADL, IADL and MMSE-K scores were also lower in those of low SES. However, with regard to health behaviors, lower smoking and alcohol drinking rates were found in the low SES group, and a similar trend was shown with regular physical exercise, eating breakfast, and regular physical health check-up. From these findings, we surmise that those with low SES have a poorer health condition and less money to spend on health, therefore, they can not smoke or drink alcohol, exercise and or have a physical health check-up. Conclusion: This study suggests that socioeconomic status plays an important role in health behaviors and status of the elderly. Low socioeconomic status bring about unhealthy behavior and poor health status in the elderly. Therefore, more specific target oriented(esp. low SES persons) health promotion activities for the elderly are very important to improve not only their health status, but their health inequity also.

Korean government is preparing the long-term care financing and delivery system in order to cope with rapid population aging. The system should be designed to provide demented patients with an appropriate services that the patients want to take, and considered to be necessary for them. In this regard, this study aims to analyse empirically a relationship between the types of long-term care services that demented patients wanted to take and they actually received during 2004. The caregivers of 609 dementia patients, who were randomly selected in a manner of proportional allocation from a nationwide claim database of the Korean National Health Insurance Corporation, were interviewed in September, 2005. Independent variables include socio-demographic characteristics, Activities of Daily Living(ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(IADL). To explore the correspondence of the types of long-term care services that demented patients wanted to take and that they actually received, and its affecting factors, we conducted chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Main findings are as follows. First, while only 20% of study subjects wanted home services as a long-term care services, those who wanted to use the long-term care facilities and general hospital were 37%, 43% respectively. Second, the correspondence rate was just 38% on average, and extremely low in the demented patients who wanted to use long-term care facilities. Third, the demented patients who resided in urban areas and received relatively high level of education showed high correspondence rate. Fourth, the high ADL score was closely related to low correspondence rate.

Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate reduction in stroke symptoms by analyzing the changes in respiratory function and activities of daily living (ADL) after respiratory muscle strengthening exercise in patients who had a stroke and thereby, propose an efficient exercise method. Methods: Twenty patients with hemiplegic stroke were divided into two groups, with 10 patients in each. The control group (CG) received the traditional exercise therapy, and the experimental group (EG) received the traditional exercise therapy combined with expiratory muscle strengthening training. The training continued for 6 weeks, 5 days a week. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) were measured with a spirometer, $SpO_2$ was measured with a pulse oximeter, and ADL were assessed by using the modified Barthel index (MBI). A paired t test was applied to compare the differences before and after the intervention, and an independent t test was used to compare the differences between the groups. The level of statistical significance was set as ${\alpha}=0.05$. Results: The changes in the FVC and FEV1 values within the group showed significant differences only in the EG (p<0.01). The between-group difference was statistically significant only for FVC and FEV1 in the EG (p<0.01). The changes in $SpO_2$ and MBI within the group showed significant differences only in the EG and CG (p<0.01). Between-group differences were statistically significant only for $SpO_2$ and MBI in the EG (p<0.05). Conclusion: The interventions with active patient involvement and combined breathing exercises had a positive impact on all the functions investigated in this study.

본 연구의 목적은 지역사회에 거주하는 한국의 65세 이상 노인들의 일상생활활동 장애율 및 이와 관련된 요인이 남자 노인과 여자 노인 사이에 차이가 있는지를 밝히는 것이었다. 분석 자료는 2005년에 실시한 <국민건강영양조사>이었고, 일상생활활동 장애를 측정하는 도구로는 원장원(2002)이 개발한 한국형 일상생활활동 측정도구(K-ADL)를 사용하였다. 일상생활활동 장애율의 성별 차이는 χ²검정 분석을 하였고, 일상생활활동 장애와 관련된 독립변수들을 통제한 상태에서의 성별 차이가 존재하는지를 알아보기 위해 로지스틱 회귀분석을 하였다. 이변량 분석 결과 노인 전체와 전기 노인에서는 여자가 남자보다 일상생활활동 장애가 많았으나 후기 노인에서는 차이가 없었다. 연령 및 기타 장애와 관련된 요인들을 통제한 상태에서 노인 전체, 전기 노인, 후기 노인을 대상으로 한 전반적인 일상생활활동 장애율의 성별 차이를 분석한 결과 성별 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 일상생활활동 각각의 장애율에 대하여 동일한 분석을 한 결과 목욕하기와 대소변 조절을 제외한 나머지 활동들에서 남자가 여자보다 장애가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 성별보다는 만성질환 등의 일상생활활동의 장애와 관련된 다른 요인들에 더욱 주목할 필요성을 말해준다. 또한 남자의 일상생활활동 장애율이 여자보다 높은 것이 돌봄의 성역할 차이에서 비롯된 것인지에 대한 추후연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
