2007년 노인장기요양보험법이 제정되었고 이 법은 질병 및 장애가 있는 노인들에 대한 요양비용을 사회구성원들이 함께 부담하는 체계를 구축하여 노인 및 그 가족구성원의 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 노인장기요양보험제를 실현하기 위해 요양보호사제도가 마련되었다. 요양보호사란 거동이 불편한 노인을 시설에서 돌보거나 또는 노인이 거주하는 가정을 방문하여 보호활동을 벌이는 사람들을 말한다. 그런데 최근 발표된 국가인권위원회의 조사에 의하면 요양보호사들의 근무환경이 매우 열악한 것으로 드러났다. 저임금, 포괄임금의 남용, 장기간 근로, 인력배치기준 및 휴게시설 미비, 요양보호서비스 이외의 노무제공, 수급자에 의한 성희롱 등의 문제가 있는 것으로 나타난 것이다. 인구의 고령화가 빠른 속도로 진행되고 있고 노인들에 대한 요양보호의 중요성과 요양보호사들의 역할이 증대되고 있는 상황을 고려한다면 이들의 업무환경에 대한 개선이 절실히 필요하다. 이러한 견지에서 이 논문은 국가인권위원회가 발표한 자료를 바탕으로 노동인권의 측면에서 요양보호사들이 겪고 있는 문제점들을 살펴보고 효과적인 개선방안에 대해 논의 해본다. 결국 요양보호사들이 직면한 문제들을, 정부의 철저한 관리 감독과 요양보호사의 처우 개선 그리고 수급자의 인식 개선 등을 통해 바로잡는다면 더 나은 노동환경에서 요양보호사들이 질 높은 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

우리 사회는 빠른 속도로 고령화가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 초고령화 사회에서는 의료비 증가도 늘어나고 있으며 이 상황은 사회보장제도의 지속가능성을 저하시키는 국가적인 문제로 인식되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 노인 건강관리를 위한 다양한 서비스가 추진되어왔지만 대부분 취약계층, 만성질환 발병 후 건강관리에 집중해 왔으며 예방차원의 건강관리는 부족하였고 대부분 시범사업으로 그치고 있는 것이 현실이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 국내외 노인대상 건강관리 서비스의 현황을 분석하고 이를 근거로 한계점과 개선점을 분석하여 IoT 기반의 토탈실버케어센터 구축을 제안하였다. IoT 기반의 토탈실버케어센터는 다양한 센서, 의료기기, 스마트밴드 등을 통해 노인들의 건강상태를 편리하게 모니터링 할 수 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 긴급히 방문해야 하는 사용자를 구분하여 간호제공자의 시간절약 및 업무의 효율화를 통해 간호서비스의 질을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 사용자의 건강상태 변화가 있는 경우 건강간호 중재를 적시에 제공할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 실시간 영상시스템을 통해 정신적인 어려움을 극복하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다.

The aim of this study was to develop and apply a list of meals and standard recipes using barley for diabetic patients. The degree of interest and requirements of diabetic patients were investigated for the development of meals. The ingredients of the meals were selected through the diabetic literature and previous research. While developing a list of meals, dietetic therapies for diabetic patients were considered. After developing 15 kinds of meals and modifying them through sensory evaluation, a standard recipe was completed. In the standard recipe, the menu name, the ingredients, quantity, and recipe were stated and the nutritional components were indicated. Photographs of the meals were included. The calorie prescription for the diabetic patients was aimed at elderly women, that is, those 65 years old or above, based on research showing this to be the average age of diabetics. The prescribed calories were 1,500 kcal based on the food exchange list. Weekly lists of meals including the developed dishes were made for diabetic patients. The list were modified after consultation with a clinical nutritionist. When completed, one meal item was selected for each day and cooked. A photograph was taken and presented diabetic patients. This article presents the standardized recipes of the developed list of meals and applies them to modifying the diabetic diet, with an aim to be of service to diabetic patients attempting to meet their dietetic therapy goals. We also provide basic data on institutional food services for diabetic patients and nutrition education.

This research was designed to explore the meaning of housing among Korean Chinese in Harbin, China. In particular, the meaning of housing was examined by using the pathway approach. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study administered the in-depth interview on the oral history of an individual life, and the 5 elderly persons in their 60s and 70s participated in the individualized interviews that were conducted from May 28 to 31 in 2010. The main findings of meaning of housing were as follows; 1. Similarly to the meaning of housing in 1970s and 1980s in Korea, house was viewed as both a shelter for family members and relatives and a place for their comfort. 2. Prior to multi-story residences, Harbin had only 3 different forms of single-story houses available; Chinese style with Kang and soil room(地室), Korean style with 'Ondol', and Russian style with open floor and Pechka, The promotion at work enabled participants to move to multi-story residences, their moving time varied from 1970 to 1991, and the residential moving determined their current housing status. 3. Multi-story residences were available around 1970s, floor-heating system was introduced from 1990s, and high-rise apartments were built from 1998. Korean Chinese(朝鮮族) weren't satisfied with the spatial composition of individual units embedded into the Chinese culture, especially, entrance, kitchen, bathroom and veranda. 4. Based on assimilation through socialism, adaptation to socialist society and capitalist acculturation, the lifestyles of the interviewees were categorized into five types - capitalist-proactive(Ms. KS), socialist-pragmatic(Ms. J), socialist-inducive(Ms. KY), family centered-conservative(Ms. L), and socialist-adaptive(Ms. P). This study implies that housing-related services for Korean Chinese are necessarily provided so as to embrace their life style and cultural identity in housing design, and further studies need to be explored.

This study provides basic indices for the development of a pet dog's dummy. Surveys were conducted with 71 owners of small dogs weighing under 10kg as preliminary research for information on pet dogs, uses and complaints about their clothes and demographic information to investigate wearing conditions. We collected pictures of 30 products sold in 12 brands at home and abroad to analyze size, materials, and patterns and investigate the actual production conditions. The survey results on wearing conditions indicated that 'Maltese' was the breed most often raised in households. Dogs weighing 'between 3kg and 4kg' were most common. Dogs under five years of age took up 53.5%. Most of the clothes were 'S' size, followed by 'M' and 'L' Most responded, 'The overall size does not fit' as an inconvenience when worn for long. Second, most brands developed products in three sizes. The displayed details included neck and chest circumference, back length and dummy height. Cotton and artificial leather were used most often for the outer fabric, cotton for the internal filling along with wire and aluminum for some products to maintain shape and motions. Most dummies consisted of back+outer leg, belly, inner leg and sole. Sometimes, a composition line was added by the chest shape, and an incision was placed between the body and leg for breeds with thick legs. Most patterns had a composition line in the leg connected from the belly.

To test if the developed ubiquitous health care devices working well and vital information could be collected and monitored systematically through internet and to test if the devices and services could be used further. Kyungwon University, KT Co., Gil Medical Center, LIG Nex1 Co., and Sujeong Health Center conducted an ubiquitous health care demonstration project in Sujeong-Gu, Sungnam, Korea from Mar. 5 to May 16. We developed and applied several medical devices to monitor health of the elderly in their houses through internet. The devices were sphygmomanometer, glucometer, body fat scale, Health Pad, and activity sensor. We distributed the devices to 20 recipients of home care and 7 diabetes patients. After received the devices and were explained how to use them, they used the devices in their houses. The vital signs of the residents were monitored through internet. A nurse monitored and consulted their vital signs in the monitoring center in Kyungwon University during the demonstration period. The consultant called them and consulted on their blood pressure, blood sugar level, and body fat after a few seconds they used the devices as well as provision of recommended contents such as diets and activities through Health Pad. To investigate cognition and satisfaction of the participants for the devices, we surveyed the participants at the end of the demonstration period. For the change in blood pressure, blood sugar level, and activities, we conducted statistical test. After the demonstration period. cognition and satisfaction for the devices and change in blood pressure, blood sugar level, and activities were evaluated. Most of the participants were acknowledged how to use the device and satisfied with the use of the devices. The internet monitoring and services are considered to be promising because most of the participants were satisfied especially because somebody was monitoring their health status. However some weaknesses such as short battery life of the activity sensor, lack of connection of consultations with hospitals, and low understanding on usage of some of the devices need to be complemented.
