이 연구는 계획된 행동이론(TPB)을 적용하여 일상생활수행에 제한이 있는 노인 환자들의 자발적 재활운동 행위의 실천에 영향을 주는 예측인자를 분석하고자 부산 경남지역 노인전문병원에 입원한 노인 중일상생활수행에 제한이 있는 350명을 대상으로 1차 설문조사를 실시하였다. 1차 설문자 중 316명에 대해 4주간의 재활운동교육을 시행하고 2주후 재활운동 실천 행위를 확인하기 위해 2차 설문조사를 하였다. 연구결과 재활운동행위에 대한 의도에 미치는 영향력은 태도(.61), 지각된 행위통제(-.56), 주관적 규범 (.27) 순이었으며, 운동행위 실천에 대해 의도는 유의하였으나, 지각된 행위는 유의하지 않아 선행연구결과와 차이가 있었다. 본 연구에서 태도가 지각된 행위통제에 비하여 의도를 더 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 노인일수록 주관이 강하고 자신의 생각을 쉽게 바꾸지 않는 성향에 따라 태도가 의도로 표출되는 것이므로 재활운동행위의 실천을 유도하기 위해서는 다양한 교육을 통한 긍정적인 건강신념을 가지게하는 것이 우선되어야 최대 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

고령자 가구의 급격한 증가는 전 세계적 추세이며 의료비 등 사회적 비용 또한 급격히 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 치매와 같은 노인성 기능 질환의 경우 고령자의 일상생활 활동 (ADL) 패턴을 상시적으로 모니터링하고 평소와 다르거나 비정상적인 패턴이 발생하는 경우 이를 치매 조기진단의 근거로 활용할 수 있다. 그러나 사생활 침해의 우려가 큰 기존의 직접적 센싱 방식과 달리 간접적 센싱 방식 (Non-intrusive approach)을 활용하여 재실자의 최소한의 정보 (Coarse-grained data)만을 수집하고, 이를 통해 활동 정보를 추출하는 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 또한 추출된 활동 및 활동패턴을 이해하기 위해 활동의 맥락적 정보를 시각화하는 방법 또한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 재실자의 정보 중 시 공간 데이터 로그만을 활용하여 재실자의 수행 활동을 추출하고 컨텍스트화 된 행동 정보를 공간-활동 지도 (Space-Activity Map)로 시각화한다. 본 연구는 재실자의 일상생활 활동 패턴을 추출하는 데 기반이 되는 연구로서, 향후 고령자를 위한 상시적인 건강 모니터링 기술의 도입에 기여할 수 있다.

Introduction : Exercise has been suggested as an important nursing strategy in which to help elderly maintain functional performance and to enhanced quality of life. Most of exercise study has been reported on fitness exercise such as walking, swimming, dance etc for health of elderly. There have been few reports about exercise on the promotion of small and fine movement of elderly. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine an effect of 6 weeks hand and finger exercise in home to improve hand muscle strength such as grip strength and finger pinch pressure. Materials and Methods Design: This pilot study was used one group pre and post-test design. Sample: Twelve elderly women above 60 years of age or older living in community were selected by convenient sampling. Procedure: Signed informed consent was obtained prior to participate in this study. The authors met elderly and taught hand and finger exercise, daily a week for 6 weeks, within 30 minutes per session. But exercise frequency and strength were not same. Instruments: Left and right grip strength were measured by Bulb Dynamometer(made in USA) and left and right pinch pressure were measured by Baseline Hydraulic Pinch Gauge(made in USA). Data analysis: Discriptive data analyses were performed on all variables. Wilcoxon matched-pairs Signed-Ranks test were used to find difference of grip strength and pinch pressure between pre and post exercise using SPSS 10.0 for Window. Results: Samples age ranged from 60 to 73, Mean age was 65.3. All were women. Ten elderly were diagnosed osteoarthritis and one had DM. After six weeks hand and finger exercise, Left and right grip strength were higher than those of before exercise(Z=-2.667, P<0.01 ; Z=-3.065, p<0.01). And left pinch pressure after hand and linger exercise were higher than that of before pinch pressure (Z=-2.315, p<0.05). But Right pinch pressure was not shown significant change(Z=-1.099, p>0.05). Conclusions: Although this study was limited by the sample size and design, the findings provide some important implications for community based exercise nursing intervention. Short term (six weeks) exercise of hand and linger is shown to be useful as nursing intervention to maintain routine daily activities such as eating, writing, grip something for elderly.

Purpose: In order to validate empirically the theoretical model of this study subjects, who were limited in Andong gun, Youngyang gun, Uiseong gun, Bonghwa gun, Chilgok gun, Cheongsong gun according to residence-specified distribution and over aged 65, were focused to the elderly in rural areas with geographical characteristics where they have difficulties in accessibility of dental facilities and dental care. Methods: The collected data were analyzed by the SPSS 19.0 program. First, the frequency analysis was performed for each independent variable and the dependent variable. Second, reliability analysis and correlation analysis were conducted for daily living skills and Biomedical Vigilance. Third, multivariate analysis was performed in terms of and the post-administration management. Fourth, multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting the post-management of dentures and the period of using dentures. Results: By results of the multiple regression analysis, the elder the subjects are(${\beta}$ = 0.03), the lower their income activities are(${\beta}$ = -0.18), the smaller their monthly allowances are(${\beta}$ = -0.16), the worse their daily activity skills are(${\beta}$ = -0.12), the more they were mounted their dentures by an unlicensed contractor(${\beta}$ = 0.07), and the more they cost to their dentures(${\beta}$ = 0.14), the longer the period of use dentures are. And the beneficiaries of Basic Livelihood Security(${\beta}$ = -0.14) who got free denture business are shorten the period of using dentures. According to multiple regression analysis for post management of dentures, the independent variables like the health education(${\beta}$ = 0.24), smoking(${\beta}$ = -0.18), periodic oral examination(${\beta}$ = 0.13), dentures mounted by an unlicensed contractor(${\beta}$ = -0.13) are shown statistically significant results. In that study subjects are taking part in health education and non-smokers, they are likely to have more chances to post management for their dentures like periodic oral examination. However the subjects who were weared their denture by an unlicensed contractor get less chance to post management for their dentures. Conclusion: As the elderly who want to wear denture are increasing due to the denture insurance for the elderly, the need for oral health education for the elderly is an urgent request, especially continuos education for the way of use their dentures and follow-up management for the elderly who were already mounted their dentures. And also, the need for more systematic researches is requested for securing objective data.

기존의 가정용 요양침대는 매트리스 지지판(mattress support platform) 하부에 설치된 복잡한 기구부로 인해 저상화 실현이 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 등판과 다리판의 각도를 조절하면서도 저상화가 가능한 요양침대의 구동 메커니즘을 제안한다. 등판과 다리판의 메커니즘은 듀얼 모터(dual motor)를 적용하고, 최적화 기법으로 설계변수를 결정하였다. 승강 메커니즘은 풀리(pulley)구조를 적용하여 제한된 구동기의 가동범위를 최대 두 배까지 높일 수 있도록 설계하였다. 건강한 5명의 피험자($24.4{\pm}0.5$세)가 방바닥에서 240mm의 저상 프로토타입 요양침대와, 600mm의 일반적인 높이의 침대에 올라갈 때의 그 이동 거리를 측정하여 저상화 침대에 대한 유효성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 저상 요양침대를 사용할 때의 이동 거리는 기존 높이의 침대에 비해 평균 38% 작았다. 이것은 저상요양침대가 고령자의 신체적 부담을 줄여주며, 일반침대보다 일상생활 지원에 효과적이라는 것을 보여주었다.
