By analysing women's identity rooted in Korean families and welfare policies related to families, this research aims to explore more gender-equal family welfare policies for the future. This research examines the change of families along with social changes, women's identity in families, the present family welfare policies, and women's identity in the family welfare policies. Social changes and the demand of market make influence on function and form of families. However, the broad social format of patriarchy persists and women's gender identity and gender role in families make little differences as ever. These women's gender role and gender identity are found in welfare policies related to families as they are. The women is regulated as dependent on male partner with the primary responsibilities on child rearing and elderly care. In addition, only focusing on families in need, Korean family policies are not generally established. Therefore, now, it is strongly suggested that Korean family policies concerning more diverse families should be launched with the gender-sensitive perspective.

Recently, the demand for pubic welfare has been expended to the comprehensive services terms of cultural, medical and psychological aspects and provision of information. These various demands for welfare services to improve citizens'quality of life could be effectively met by an integrated community center covered small regions rather than many existing individual institutions focused on specific services covered wide regions. The purpose of this study was to develop the activity programs for a proposed new millennium community center The activity programs classified into five types (administrative services; information and counselling; health and sports; leisure and culture; and child care and educational services) and each type included various unique activity programs not only for specific age groups but also for all age groups. In order to operate a new millennium community center effectively, the legal supports and systematic organizations to manage the community center should be required. Discussions and recommendations for these issues were included in the study.

Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the need of medical supporting service (MSS) as a part of community-based hospice palliative care from the view point of beneficiaries and providers. Methods : This study adopted a methodological triangulation design. A questionnaire regarding intention to use MSS was completed by 175 patients under home-based cancer patient management program. And three focus groups consisted of hospice nurses, public health physicians, and public officials were interviewed to obtain the perceived needs, obstacles, and solutions of MSS. Results : Mean age of home-based cancer patient was 70.18 year old, 48.0% of them were living alone. Only 53.7% of them were treated pain and 93.7% intend to take pain medication prescribed by public health physician. All participants of focus group interviews agreed necessity and importance of MSS. Physicians' lack of confidence and unwillingness to prescribe opioid to terminal patients was the biggest obstacle to provide MSS in the public health center. Conclusions : The necessity and demand of MSS for community-dwelling cancer patients were verified. MSS is urgent issue to meet their needs.

Purpose: This study was to identify health needs of the elderly at nursing homes by long-term care grade. Methods: The health needs of 116 elders at two nursing homes in Seoul were measured with resident assessment protocols (RAPs), activities of daily living (ADL), and cognitive performance scale (CPS), and pain and depression were measured by resident assessment instrument (RAI). Results: With regard to RAPs, 11 out of 18 items had different distribution in the 3 groups significantly. The 1st-grade elders had a higher percentage of 9 items than the 2nd- and 3rd-grade ones but the 3rd-grade ones had the highest health needs related with activity. The 2nd-grade elders had similar health needs to the 1st-grade ones. In terms of functional level, the 1st-grade elders had the highest percentage of CPS and ADL but the 3rd-grade ones had the highest score of pain and depression out of the 3 groups. The standardized assessment instrument to identify specific health needs by the 3 groups should be developed. Therefore, care plans to meet health needs of the 3 groups will be made. Conclusion: It is suggested that nursing care is required to the elderly of the 1st- and 2nd-grade and safe activity and environment to the 3rd-graded ones.

This study investigated the isolation hypothesis and the buffer hypothesis of Demand-Control-Support model in relation to activity satisfaction and psychological well-being. The subjects were 300 elderly women participating in productive activity for example paid work, voluntary activity, and grancdhildren care. This research tested four hypotheses concerning the DCS model. Is there support for the isolation hypothesis, such that the lowest level of activity satisfaction is experienced by the elderly women working in an isolation situation(high demand-low control-low support)? Is there support for the isolation hypothesis, such that the lowest level of psychological well-being is experienced by the elderly women working in an isolation situation(high demand-low control-low support)? Is there support for the buffer hypothesis, i. e. interaction between demand, control, and support, indicating a buffering effect of support on the negative impact of high strain on activity satisfaction? Is there support for the buffer hypothesis, i. e. interaction between demand, control, and support, indicating a buffering effect of support on the negative impact of high strain on psychological well-being? Major results of this study were as follows. and were supported. Activity satisfaction and psychological well-being of the elderly women in isolation situation was the lowest among the sample. was supported that family support level buffered the negative impact of high strain on activity satisfaction. But was not supported. Only main effect of demand level was showed on psychological well-being.

농촌지역의 과소화에 따라 의료서비스에 대한 공간적 접근성이 제한되고, 노령화에 따른 의료서비스의 수요가 급격히 증가함에 따라, 최근 방문보건서비스와 같은 서비스 제공자가 수요자에게 직접 이동하는 새로운 형태의 의료서비스가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 의료환경의 변화는 공공 의료기관의 한정된 의료자원을 효율적으로 배분하고 운영하기 위한 혁신적이고 과학적인 접근법개발에 대한 요구를 증대시키고 있다. 이러한 배경하에서 본 연구의 목적은 방문 의료서비스 제공을 위한 구역 설정 모델을 수립하고, GIS 환경에서 구역 설정 모델을 구현하는 자동구획절차(AZP) 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이다. 구역 설정 모델은 구역 내 이동성, 구역간 업무량 균형, 연속성 등의 조건을 고려한다. 이동성에 대한 세 개의 서로 다른 목적함수를 평가한다; 1) 구역 내 단위 지역간 네트워크 거리의 합 최소화, 2) 구역 내 단위 지역간 공간상호작용 최대화, 3) 구역 내 단위 지역을 순회하는 경로의 길이 최소화. 모델을 위한 AZP는 GIS 환경에서 개발되었고, 농촌의 방문보건 사례에 적용되었다. 결과는 개발된 AZP를 업무량 균형과 연속성 제약조건하에서 각 목적함수에 대하여 상이한 구획체계를 산출할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Given that the demand for dental care for elderly individuals is expected to increase according to demographic changes, long-term roadmaps for the current health insurance system should be actively planned. The study aimed to investigate the health insurance system in Korea, compared to that of Japan, and suggest directions for the work of dental hygienists to provide basic data on efficient improvements in the health insurance system. Based on the collected data, the website was used to collect additional related data from Korea and Japan. The most common cause of death in Korea was malignant neoplasms, and most patients were hospitalized for diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. Dental care covered by Korean medical insurance for individuals aged 65 years or older was treatment oriented, such as dentures and implants, while in Japan, treatment-intensive items, such as visiting a dental hygienist for guidance and provision of home-care professional oral hygiene treatment, were covered. The percentages of remaining teeth in Korea and the percentage of remaining 20 teeth were 68.9% in those aged 65 to 74 years and 51.2% in those aged 75 to 84 years in Japan. A strategy for promoting oral health among elderly individuals should be established, and a multilateral intervention approach is required to prevent oral problems from leading to deterioration of whole-body health. The role of dental hygienists in providing comprehensive assessment to elderly individuals is important. In order to provide systemic oral care, it is necessary to introduce oral care systems according to the national policy.

한국은 저출생 현상과 급속한 고령화로 인하여 노인돌봄 위기에 처해 있다. 2008년 노인장기요양보험이 본격적으로 실시되면서 노인돌봄의 사회화가 이루어지게 되었으나 다양하지 못한 서비스 선택권, 맞춤형 돌봄의 부족, 커뮤니티 케어의 불안정함 등으로 돌봄의 공백은 아직 사회문제로 남아있다. 또한 고령화의 진전에 따라 치매유병율의 증가는 새로운 사회위기이다. 이러한 상황에서 복지기술은 부족한 자원과 증가하는 수요의 공백을 메꾸어줄 미래의 중요한 대안이다. 본 논문에서는 지역에서 다양하게 제공되고 있는 치매서비스를 경험한 바 있는 경증치매노인 집단그룹면접, 치매고위험군 집단그룹면접을 통해 복지기술에 대한 친밀성, 접근성, 치매예방방안 등을 파악하였다. 치매 정도에 따른 차이는 있으나 두 그룹 모두 복지기술을 활용한 치매서비스에 관심이 높았다. 특히, 일상생활에서 자립적 훈련은 친밀한 도구인 TV나 전화를 활용하는 방안이 제시되었고 경증치매노인군의 경우 데이케어센터에서 기술활용을 위한 도움서비스와 가정 내 연계방안의 필요성이 제시되었다.
