This study aimed to develop the elderly care program for seniors in rural areas and to evaluate its efficacy through pre- and post-tests. For them, this study carried out a total of 8 sessions that includes 4 aims, such as understanding rural elderly, volunteer activities, psychological help, and aids to daily living, on 36 persons over the age of 60 years in rural areas. The data was analyzed by paired t-test to 36 elderly. The results of the study are as follows. First, looking at changes in knowledge about aging, objective evaluation of knowledge showed significant differences (t=-2.22, p<.05), but evaluation of elderly's perception-change didn't show significant differences between before and after. Second, volunteer attitude didn't show significant differences between before and after, but after the training, 75% of them answered 'yes' to question that asked whether they'd like to participate in elderly's volunteer caring activity for other elderly within the town in the future, which gave us certain expectation that the attitude towards volunteer activities might change positively in the future. Third, objective evaluation of knowledge for psychological help didn't show significant differences between before and after. But elderly's subjective perception showed significant differences (t=-2.82, p<.01). Fourth, evaluating changes in knowledge for elderly's aiding daily life, both the objective evaluation and subjective evaluation didn't show significant differences between before and after. Fifth, satisfaction of the program showed high scores over 4 points: contents, education methods, education place, education time. The most helpful topics for them were counseling (27.8%) and dementia (27.8%), followed by elderly and aging (16.7%), elderly's residential environment (13.9%), elderly's dietary life (9.3%) and volunteer activities (5.6%).

본 연구는 베이비붐 세대의 노년기교육에 대한 참여의향 및 욕구를 파악함으로써 이를 바탕으로 향후 베이비붐 세대에게 효과적이고 바람직한 노년기교육 프로그램을 구축하기 위해 필요한 기초자료를 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이룰 위하여 1955년생부터 1974년생까지의 베이비붐 세대 261명을 조사 하였다. 연구결과 : 첫째 응답자의 67.4%가 평생교육의 경험이 없었으며 그중 가장 큰 이유는 시간이 없어서 이다. 둘째, 향후 노년기교육의 참여 의향을 묻는 질문에는 참가하겠다는 응답이 64.3%로 높았으며, 가장 큰 이유는 사회적 변화에 대응에 관한 지식 필요해서 이다. 셋째, 베이비붐 세대의 노년기교육 욕구를 살펴보면 사회복지기관을 통해 실습하며 건강 및 건강관련 교육을 받기를 원했다. 높은 교육, 문화적, 경제적 수준을 가진 베이비붐 세대의 욕구에 부응하는 건강에 관한 차별화된 프로그램 개발과 제공에 힘써야 할 것이다.

본 논문은 취업이 노인의 건강상태에 긍정적인 영향력을 미치고 있다는데 착안하여, 건강상의 이유로 취업하지 못한 대다수의 노인에게 취업자와 동등한 건강 상태를 유지할 수 있게 하는 건강 개선 교육 프로그램을 제안하고자 하는 목적을 가지고 시행되었다. 따라서 취업한 노인의 건강상태를 미취업자 노인과 비교해보고 이를 바탕으로 미취업자에게 시행되어야 할 교육 프로그램의 내용을 설정하여, 향후 건강에 관련한 평생교육 프로그램이 지향해야 할 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 영양 상태와 일상생활 수행능력의 차원에서 취업자가 더 긍정적인 건강 상태를 보였으며 인지력 (지남력, 주위집중, 일상인지)과 삶의 만족도 부분에서 취업자가 더 활성화 되어있는 모습을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 안전교육과 건강습관 개선교육, 인지활성화를 통한 수행능력 개선 교육, 사회적 교류 제공을 통하여 미취업자 노인의 건강상태를 발전시키고자 하였으며, 여가적 차원에 머물러 있는 노인 평생교육프로그램의 전문성을 확보하고자 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 프로그램은 미취업 노인들이 성공적 노화의 핵심인 취업과 동등한 효과를 얻을 수 있도록, 교육을 통하여 다양한 사회적 상호작용의 기회 등을 제공받아 건강을 유지하게 함으로 노인들의 삶의 질을 큰 폭으로 개선할 수 있을 것이며, 더 나아가 추후에 노인들의 사회적인 역할을 넓힐 수 있는 밑바탕을 제공해줄 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop an elderly care nursing education program and evaluate its effect on knowledge, attitudes and nursing performance of nurses toward older adults. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were recruited from two geriatric hospitals. The sample consisted of an intervention group (n=29) that participated in the educational program and a control group (n=30). The data were collected prior to and 6 weeks after the intervention using self-administered questionnaires. Data analyses utilized $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact probability test, and t-test. Results: After the intervention, knowledge and nursing performance about the elderly care increased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in their attitudes toward the elderly. Conclusion: Findings indicate that to provide better nursing care to the elderly, nurses need to be able to practically apply the knowledge they have acquired from the elder-care nursing education programs in hands-on situations. To achieve this, nurses should work to change their personal attitudes about the elderly. Also, evidence-based guidelines for elderly nursing care, administrative support of institutions, and multidisciplinary approaches are required.

Methods: The research design for this study was a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. Total 61 elderly who visited a seniors center, Seoul, Korea, participated in this study. Participants were 31 elderly for the experimental group and 30 elderly for the control group. The experimental group received a lesson in denture care skills education program which was developed by the researchers. Using a structural questionnaire, the elderly's perception about denture self-care, denture satisfaction and subjective oral status were measured before and after the intervention. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, chi-square test, and ANCOVA test were performed using SPSS WIN 21.0. Results: The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in denture satisfaction(p<.001), QOL of oral health(<.001), concern for oral health(p=.005), subjective oral health status(p<.001), bad breath(p=.010), oral dryness(p<.001) and number of denture clearing(p<.001). Conclusion: The results suggest that the denture care skills education program for elderly at a senior center was effective. Further work is required to develop more effective denture care skills education programs and an oral health promotion program to improve the health status of the elderly.

The purpose of this study is to examine demographic characteristics, psychological characteristics and patterns of supportive relationships with their children that affect the successful lives of the elderly. A survey was conducted of 410 people aged between 65 and 85, and 405 samples were used for the analysis. First, the supportive relation between the elderly and their children was categorized into four groups depending on the total amount and direction of support. The four groups consisted of the elderly who exchanged little or no support, those who only received support from their children, those who only gave support, and those who both gave and received support. Second, the more the elderly exchanged support and gave emotional support to their children, the better the chance that the elderly would lead a successful life in later years. Third, subjective health conditions most significantly affected the successful lives of the elderly who exchanged little or no support. The level of education was most significant for the elderly who only received support. The level of housing satisfaction mostly affected the elderly who only gave support. Mutual support primarily affected the elderly who both gave and received. Thus, we should provide health programs for the elderly who exchange little or no support to encourage a healthier lifestyle. In addition, opportunities for continuing education should be provided for the elderly who only receive support to make up any deficiency in education. Because spouses are mostly affected for those elderly who exchange little or no support and the elderly who only receive support, we should provide educational programs about how to be better lifetime companions to each other and also provide medical and in-home care for the remaining spouse even after the other partner is gone. Because housing satisfaction greatly affects the elderly who only give support, improvements in the residential environment are essential. Since the level of mutual support is crucial to the elderly who both give and receive support, programs on the development of human resources are needed for the elderly to interact dynamically and intimately with their children.
