The purpose of this study is to suggest the possibility of complexity use these facilities for elderly welfare facility or public health facility and community center in rural. For this purpose this article researched into elderly welfare facilities, public health facilities and social welfare centers. And we studied of village community center, life pattern in old people in rural. With a rapidly increase in population of older people in rural, there is a great demand for the construction of complexes facilities. Particularly, there was highly demand for the public health facilities and the welfare programme of physiotherapy facilities on village community center in rural. However, there is not a intersection of space composition and specification function between elderly welfare facilities and public healthcare facilities and community welfare centers in this time. Accordingly, in the future plan for community center in rural, it is necessary to consider integration with public health facility. And it is necessary to compose the community center in consideration of the spatial organization of complexity as a possibility of community welfare activities.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between health behaviors and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among vulnerable children in a community. Methods: Using data from 'The Obesity Prevention Framework for Vulnerable Children', a secondary analysis was conducted for 165 children (ages 8~12 years) and their parents who were recruited from 16 K-gu Community Child Centers in Seoul. Six types of health behaviors related to eating and activity were assessed. Each behavior was categorized into the non-recommended vs. recommended levels. The scores of the recommended levels of the six health behaviors were summed up for the composite score of health behaviors. HRQOL was measured by KIDSCREEN-52. Results: The groups with a non-recommended level of fast food intake and sedentary behavior had a significantly lower total score of KIDSCREEN-52 than those with a recommended level. Moreover, the lower composite score of health behaviors was significantly associated with the lower total score of KIDSCREEN-52. Conclusion: Among the vulnerable children, the six recommended health behaviors and their composite score were in significant positive associations with the HRQOL levels. Therefore, nursing strategies for enhancing the recommended levels of health behaviors are needed for vulnerable children.

Context: Genuine community participation does not denote taking part in an action planned by health care professionals in a medical or top-down approach. Further, community participation and health education on breast cancer prevention are not similar to other activities incorporated in primary health care services in Iran. Objective: To propose a model that provides a methodological tool to increase women's participation in the decision making process towards breast cancer prevention. To address this, an evaluation framework was developed that includes a typology of community participation approaches (models) in health, as well as five levels of participation in health programs proposed by Rifkin (1985&1991). Method: This model explains the community participation approaches in breast cancer prevention in Iran. In a 'medical approach', participation occurs in the form of women's adherence to mammography recommendations. As a 'health services approach', women get the benefits of a health project or participate in the available program activities related to breast cancer prevention. The model provides the five levels of participation in health programs along with the 'health services approach' and explains how to implement those levels for women's participation in available breast cancer prevention programs at the local level. Conclusion: It is hoped that a focus on the 'medical approach' (top-down) and the 'health services approach' (top-down) will bring sustainable changes in breast cancer prevention and will consequently produce the 'community development approach' (bottom-up). This could be achieved using a comprehensive approach to breast cancer prevention by combining the individual and community strategies in designing an intervention program for breast cancer prevention.

이 연구는 서울시 강북구 건강마을 사업에 대한 문헌고찰과 운영주체를 대상으로 한 심층면접을 통해 주민운동의 관점에서 사업의 성과와 한계를 살펴보고, 기존 건강증진 사업과의 차별성을 찾아 향후 건강증진 사업의 새로운 방향성을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 결과 빈곤층의 비율이 높고, 물리적 환경이 열악한 지역사회 주민들의 건강불평등을 완화하기 위한 건강친화 마을 만들기 사업은 주민조직화의 원리를 적용한 것으로 기존 건강증진사업과 다음과 같은 방법론적 차별성과 성과가 있었다. 첫째, 주민 스스로 지역보건의료 계획을 수립하고 주민의 성장을 통한 건강증진사업이 이루어졌다. 둘째, 기존 건강증진사업에서는 볼 수 없었던 주민활동가가 팀을 이루어 보건소 및 전문가, 주민 간 긴밀한 협력을 위해 매개자로 활동하였다. 셋째, 병의원이나 보건소가 아닌 대안적 주민참여 건강증진 공간인 건강카페를 통한 건강증진 구심점이 마련되어 다양한 프로그램이 활성화되었다. 넷째, 건강의 사회적 결정요인을 고려한 접근을 통한 건강증진 프로그램이 활성화 되었다. 따라서 향후 건강친화 마을 만들기와 같은 지역사회 건강불평등 완화를 위한 사업을 실시할 때 이 연구에서와 같은 방법론적 접근을 고려해볼 필요가 있다. 하지만 다양한 사업주체들이 모인만큼 이해관계와 역할분담과 관련된 어려움이 발생한 점과 시범사업의 성과와 한계를 사전에 명확히 예상하기 못해 갈등이 유발되었던 점 등의 한계가 있었던 만큼 향후 유사한 사업의 계획 시 이 연구에서 나타난 한계점 등을 고려한 내용이 반영되어야 할 것이다. 주민건강운동의 관점에서 건강마을사업 확산 된다면 사회 전체에 건강증진 효과를 만들 것이다.

Recently, there has been an increasing need for long-term care and comprehensive health care services in community settings. The Ministry of Health and Welfare introduced the Hospital-Based Home Nursing Care Program in 2000. Before this initiative, there was a Home Nursing Demonstration Center, affiliated with the Seoul Nurse Association, had offered home nursing services with the financial support from the local government. since 1993, the Center's nursing staff has been engaged in a general hospital in an effort to provide home nursing care services within Korea's health care system. The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify characteristics of community-based home nursing care supplied by a community-based home nursing team engaged in a general hospital. Also. visit nursing care services provided by public health centers were evaluated in terms of accessibility and supply versus demand, to enhance the accessibility of low-income patients living in Seoul to home nursing care services. Data were collected from home nursing insurance reimbursement claims submitted by the community-based home nursing care team from March 1 to October 30 in 2001 and a questionnaire survey on home-visit nursing services of 25 public health centers in Seoul. The subjects consisted of 197 patients and 12 public health centers. The result were as follows. First, medical institution's community-based home nursing care program was better in technical quality than health-center-based home-visit nursing care. In addition. the pattern of the subject patients was similar to that of hospital-based home nursing care program. Second, there was a high demand for community-based home nursing care while only a small number of home-visiting nurses served at public health centers in Seoul. As a result, many patients could not receive adequate care. Finally, we suggest that community-based home nursing care program should be introduced in the national health system to meet the at-home care needs of severely ill low-income patients. Furthermore, to better utilize home nursing and visit-nursing care resources and offer continued care for patients in community settings, an efficient referral network should be built among related institutions. This would require improvement of reimbursement system and amendment of the law related to health insurance system and community-based home nursing care services.
