Several physiological skin changes such as vernix caseosa, cutis marmorata, physiologic desquamation, and sebaceous hyperplasia have been described in the neonatal period. There are also clinical characteristics of skin peculiar to neonate and infancy. Skin disorders observed during neonatal and infancy period can be divided into transient skin lesions, birth marks, and other diseases. Transient skin lesions include milia, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, erythema neonatorum, transient neonatal pustular melanosis, and acne neonatorum. Nevocellular nevus, mongolian spot, vascular malformation, hemangioma, epidermal nevus, and sebaceous nevus belong to birth marks. There are several common skin diseases such as miliaria, diaper dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and cutaneous candidiasis.

The purpose of this study was to develop disposable diapers for the elderly in need by experimenting with wearing disposable diapers and analyzing the properties of materials of these diapers. The diapers were of two different types: one was a panty type for the elderly who were bed ridden, and the other was a pad type for the elderly who had incontinence. The subjects for the wearing test of the panty type were forty who were bed ridden, and there were forty subjects for the wearing test of the pad type who had incontinence. The disposable diapers for these experiments were chosen from those already found in the market place. Four panty types and three pad types were selected. From these experiments for the disposable diapers, the first prototypes were developed, and the second prototypes were proposed by experimenting with the first prototypes. The first panty prototype was designed to improve absorbing power, and we added waist rubber bands to prevent evacuation from back leaking and a frontal tape to prevent waistline film from tearing. The first pad prototype was designed to improve absorbing power also, and we added side rubber bands to prevent the side leaking and an adhesive tape on the fore part of the bottom to prevent the diapers from moving, and made the outline of the back area curved and thin to help hide the diaper from detection thus making the wearer feel better. From these test cases and analyzing the properties of materials with the first prototypes, we gained some success, but several points on further improvements were proposed to refine the final prototypes. The second panty prototype we proposed was to make 1he length longer, especially in the crotch area to prevent excess leaking and to fit the body more snugly. Also, the second pad prototype was proposed to reduce the total thickness of the diaper, and to improve the feeling and appearance.

본 연구에서는 영아 돌봄에서 활용되고 있는 IoT의 사례를 살펴보고 발전방안을 논하고자 하였다. 영아의 수면 수유 배변과 같은 일상적 돌봄을 지원하기 위하여 양말이나 옷, 기저귀에 센서를 내장하여 체온, 심박수, 체내 산소량, 기저귀의 가스와 습도를 측정하여 부모 스마트폰으로 전송하는 사물인터넷(Internet of Things:IoT)이 시판되고 있다. 그러나 IoT가 생산하는 영아의 건강정보에 대한 정확성 문제가 신뢰롭지 않은 현실에서 활용성이 강조되고 있는 현황이다. 또한 영아 돌봄을 지원하는 IoT개발에서 영아의 발달적 특성과 영아의 욕구가 반영되어야 할 필요가 있다. 사물인터넷 역할의 중요성이 강조되지만 영아발달에서 더 중요한 것은 접속보다 접촉이 먼저이며, IoT 활용 돌봄이 양육자가 아기와 눈을 맞추고 토닥이는 신체접촉을 대신할 수 없기 때문이다.

This study evaluated non-liturgical space of catholic churches based on the four principles of universal design; accessible design, supportive design, safety-oriented design, and adaptable design. To design those spaces in terms of supportive design principle, diaper exchanging station needs to be placed in the restroom. Findings of this study are as follows: In terms of accessible design, valid width of entrance door to each room(more than 800mm), installation of elevator, height of riser in the stair, and width of step board were appropriate, but there were many spaces where door sils were not removed. In terms of supportive design, notice board at teacher's room and installation of storage closet, and width of passage to office(more than 1,200mm) were also appropriate, but storage closet at a meeting and prayer room, and space for storing flowers appeared inappropriate. To design those spaces in terms of supportive design principle, diaper exchanging station needs to be placed in the restroom. In terms of safety-oriented design, installation of round-edged furniture, use of non-slip flooring material, installation of safety emergency bell at a restroom, and installation of wall handle were required. In terms of adaptable design, space for wheelchair users at each room, installation of the furniture that can adjust the height, installation of desk with different height at an office, installation of toilet and basin considering children were considered to be necessary.

대소변을 인지하지 못하여 대소변 처리를 스스로 처리할 수 없는 사람은 보호자(또는 간병인)의 도움으로 대소변을 처리하고 있다. 대소변을 했을 경우 즉시 기저귀를 갈아 주어야 기저귀의 젖음으로 인한 불쾌감, 욕창, 습진 등 엉덩이의 짖무름으로 인한 질병의 발생을 방지할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 사람들은 대개 스스로 의사표현을 하는 것이 불가능하여 대소변에 대한 의사표현을 할 수 없거나 수치심에 의해 참음으로서 보호자가 즉시 대소변의 유무를 확인할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구를 통하여 대소변을 자동으로 감지하여 보호자(또는 간병인)에게 대소변 여부를 핸드폰 문자로 즉시 알려주는 u-Care 시스템을 개발함으로써 간병 서비스의 질적 향상을 가져올 수 있으며, 간병비 증가에 따른 사회복지비용을 절감함으로써 저소득층 노인 및 독거노인 등 사회적 의존계층에 대한 복지 혜택을 증진할 수 있을 것이다.

의료기관에서 특별 관리 대상이 되는 와상환자, 고령자, 치매 환자들은 대소변을 스스로 처리할 수 없어 보호자나 간병인의 도움이 필요하다. 특히 대변에는 독성물질이 포함되어있어 습진이나 피부염, 두드러기의 발병 요인이 되므로 기저귀의 교체는 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제에 대하여 편의를 제공하고자 고령자의 다양한 배설 요건을 고려한 대소변 감지용 웨어러블 디바이스 설계를 제안하였다. 구현된 웨어러블 디바이스는 요양병원에서 사용되는 성인용 기저귀에 대소변을 감지할 수 있는 센서와 모듈을 부착한 형태로서 착용자의 배설유무를 LED로 확인할 수 있다. 측정된 데이터는 모듈 내 블루투스를 통해 스마트폰 앱에 실시간으로 전송되며 팝업알림으로도 배설 유무를 확인할 수 있다. 설계한 모듈을 통해 수집된 데이터와 실제 배설 유무를 비교하여 본 연구의 유효성을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the maternal caretaking behaviors during the first 3 days postpartum. The sample consisted of 132 healthy, married women and their baby was full-term & normal also. Data were collected from April to June 1995 and analyzed using SPSS. The results of this study are as follows : 1. Primiparous mothers feel difficulty in performance of caretaking behavior for their baby was especially bathing, umblical cord care, identify the crying & baby's condition. But mothers feel doing so well was diaper change, clothing, immunization etc. 2. The results revealed that caretaking behaviors was not related to age, education & family. After the birth of a baby, the baby needs caring of parents especially mother. So, the mother feel difficulty in performance of maternal role. It means higher educational need for mother. Nurses were the primary source for caretaking behavior during early postpartum period at hospital and home also. Therefore the nurse need the strategies of nursing intervention to increase for caretaking activites of primiparous mothers. Further research is needed to determine which strategies affect the mother's competence of their caretaking behavior.

This paper presents a novel method to design and implement mobile u-health system by defining the essential elements of mobile healthcare services. We choose common service elements for the proposed u-healthcare scheme and design the service platform. Especially we focus on automatic feces or urine sensing u-care scheme to prove the effectiveness of our platform. We construct the system with sensing part with a manikin and a diaper, wireless communication part with feces or urine sensing data, and coordinator system based on the u-health platform defined in this paper. Experimental results show that our scheme is useful in the area of u-care service for the handicapped, the elderly, and patients who can hardly move by themselves. In addition the designed scheme offers a realized u-care scheme with the purpose of advanced developing tools for application or service developers.

Nonwoven fabrics for diaper coverstock were treated with chitosan solution by pad-dry method. Two chitosans of different molecular weigh(Mw) with similar degree of deacetylation(DDA) were used: Mw 1,800(chitosan oligomer, DDA 84%). Effect of chitosan treatment on the mechanical properties was investigated using KES-FB system. Primary hand values were calculated from mechanical properties using the same equation as the men's suiting equation with minor modification, and total hand values were calculated using new KN-5LNW equation for nonwoven fabrics developed by Kawabata et al. Increase in chitosan treatment concentration increased B, 2HB, WT, LT and RC, and decreased WC continuously. Chitosan treatment affected other mechanical properties regardless of molecular weight. Considering primary hand values obtained from mechanical properties, it was found that chitosan of Mw 180,000 and chitosan oligomer provided softer, smoother, and more bulky at below 0.05% and above 0.5% treatment concentration respectively. Samples treated with 1.0% chitosan oligomer solution, and 0.01％ chitosan solution of Mw 180,000 showed the best total hand values. (Korean J Human Ecology 1(2):119∼128, 1998)
