Purpose: This study aimed to describe the current level of physical activity (PA) and to explore the relationships between self-efficacy for PA, perceived health status (PHS), attitudes toward aging, ego-integrity and PA in community-dwelling older Koreans. Methods: A total of 164 participants were recruited from community centers, churches, and senior welfare centers in Korea. With questionnaires, a survey was conducted from June 3rd to 22th, 2016. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 22.0 program. Results: The mean amount of total PA was 5,295.33±6,272.38 MET/min/week. The number of subjects engaged in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity activities were 87 (53.0%), 45 (27.4%), and 32 (19.5%), respectively. Overall, physical activities were different according to the presence of spouse (t=-2.79, p=.006) and the presence of housemate (t=2.03, p=.044). The mean scores of self-efficacy for PA, PHS, attitudes towards aging, and ego-integrity were 17.16±4.45, 9.00±2.41, 68.12±9.28 and 51.62±7.59, respectively. There were significant positive correlations between overall PA and self-efficacy for PA (r=.34, p<.001), PHS (r=.23, p=.003), attitudes towards aging (r=.26, p=.001). Conclusion: Specific programs to promote physical activities in addition to continuous education for improving self-efficacy for PA, PHS, and attitudes towards aging in community-dwelling older adults are needed.

본 연구는 노인의 기본심리욕구, 자아통합감, 문화역량이 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구로, 대상자는 2018년 12월부터 2019년 1월까지 J와 S시, G광역시에 소재한 16곳의 노인종합복지센터을 이용하는 60세 이상 남녀노인 187명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을사용하여 기술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 성공적 노화는 기본심리욕구, 자아통합감, 문화역량과 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 노인의 성공적 노화에 대하여 자아통합감(${\beta}=.372$, p<.001), 문화역량(${\beta}=.410$, p<.001), 기본심리욕구의 하위 변수인 관계성(${\beta}=.168$, p=.003)이 71.1%의 설명력을 보였다. 그러므로 노인의 성공적 노화를 위한 자아통합감, 문화역량, 관계성 증진을 위한 사회문화 심리적 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인들의 연명치료 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하는 것을 주목적으로 한다. 분석을 위해 한국보건사회연구원의 "2014년도 전국 노인생활실태 및 복지욕구조사"의 데이타베이스를 활용하였고 분석표본은 10,451건이었다. 응답자의 86.4 퍼센트가 무의미한 연명치료를 원하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 다중회귀 분석결과, 여성일 경우(${\beta}=-.045$, p<.001), 연령이 낮을수록(${\beta}=-.024$, p<.05), 교육수준이 높을수록(${\beta}=.027$, p<.05), 연명치료를 원하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 자아통합적 특성과 연명치료 선호도 간 구체적 영향관계는 삶의 만족도가 높을수록(${\beta}=.022$, p<.05), 본인의 죽음에 대해 생각해본 적이 있는 경우(${\beta}=.032$, p<.01), 연명치료 선호도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 경로당이용을 통해 사회적 소속감을 느끼는 경우(${\beta}=-.038$, p<.01), 연명치료 선호도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 노인의 자아통합 발달이 무의미한 연명치료를 본인에게 해야 할 상황에 처했을 때 연명치료 반대결정에 영향을 준다는 본 연구결과는 자아통합을 이룰 수 있도록 촉매역할을 하는 노인복지 프로그램의 제공을 통해 무의미한 연명치료를 줄일 수 있는 가능성을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the elderly generation's understanding of game information and for recognition of computer based games as a recreation activity for the mid-to late adults. This study investigated game use and personal thoughts about the influences of computer games on each generation. The study was conducted by survey with the subjects being 242 adults aged 40 to 72 living in Busan and Kyung-nam area. Findings indicated that 43.5% of adults used computers to access games. The purposes for computer use were: business, searching portal sites, and games. 44.8% of adults knew about game information education. 67.4% of adults who had someone as a game information resource reported that their children provided the game information. Most adults used arcade games and recognized the influences of game information as positive to adults and the elderly but negative to children and adolescents. Finally, the adults aged "after mid-life" who knew about game information education showed higher ego-integrity and psychological well-being. These findings have implications for the development of elderly education programs aimed at promoting quality of life for older adults.

Purpose: Reminiscence therapy is a widely used intervention for older adults and those with dementia. However, the attributes of the concept of reminiscence is not clearly proposed. The aim of this study was to clarify the concept of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia. Methods: The study applied the concept analysis method of Walker and Avant. The literature review included the previous studies of reminiscence from philosophy, literature, art, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, sociology, and nursing. Results: A total of 43 Korean or international papers were analyzed in this study. Attributes of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia were regeneration of memories, internal and external communications, expression of suppressed emotions, and recognition of ego identity. The suppressed emotions and ego identity may result from Korean cultural characteristics based on the suppressed environments of many wars and dictatorships in the past. The consequences of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia are cognitive enhancement, relief of depression, and improvements of social interactions, ego integrity, and quality of life. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the historical and cultural characteristics should be considered to develop effective nursing interventions including reminiscence for Korean older adults with dementia.

Dealing with existential concerns experienced by patients is an important part of palliative care. Interventions that use the life review method to encourage patients to reminisce about their lives can help them find new positive meanings, promote ego integrity, and reduce emotional suffering. Not everyone has positive memories when they look back on the past, however. This poses a limit on the effectiveness of the life review method for healthcare providers working in palliative care contexts. In this study, we discuss the limits of life review and suggest imagery rescripting as a new modality constituting a psychotherapeutic approach to deal with negative memories safely and effectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data by surveying the literature for the past fifteen years (2001-2015). The focus of the search was death anxiety among the elderly. Methods: Sixty-two published works including graduate theses were selected for the Meta-analysis. Results: Study results showed that variables related to familial factors were the most often cited in the review of the manuscripts as relevant to death anxiety among the elderly. Specifically family support was most important. The other variables reported in the literature review were classified into four other groupings: social, physical, psychological, and demographics. The significant variable in the social grouping was religious activities, health promotion in the physical grouping and ego integrity in the psychological group. Conclusion: This study could provide effect sizes of variables based on materials, which are needed to make an intervention program that is related to death anxiety of the elderly. Since this study identified major variables as significant to death anxiety, several distinctions within these variables can be further studied as these relate to death anxiety.

As the life-expectancy is ever-increasing, and the proportion of the elderly population is growing steadily in every society of the world, it is ever more important to establish what factors allow certain elderly people to age successfully and remain relatively independent while others grow old less successfully and require extensive intervention. However, there is no consensus yet as to what successful aging means. Researchers have defined successful aging in a variety of ways. This study attempted to define the concept of successful aging and to clarify some dimensions of it through literature review. Previous approaches of studying successful aging and related themes were examined. Early perspectives including activity, disengagement, and continuity theories, Selective Optimization with Compensation (SOC) model by Baltes and Baltes, three different conceptions of successful aging, that is, psychological well-being, physical health, and wisdom, and MacArthur research on successful aging have been reviewed for this study. The definition derived from the review is: Keeping up continuous developmental processes to achieve wisdom or ego-integrity, without suffering any major disabilities in either physical or mental functioning, while maintaining psychological well-being and employing SOC strategies, and participating in positive relationships with significant others. The dimensions of successful aging are 1) personal resources, including physical health, cognitive competences, self esteem, and social support 2) adaptation process of SOC, and 3) psychological aspects, including psychological well-being and wisdom.
