  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the mental fitness, perspective taking, attitude toward the elderly, and quantitative encephalogram among caregivers. Methods: In this mixed method research, 14 female caregivers at an elderly care facility in Y city were participated from December 1st to December 31st, 2019. Structured questionnaires were applied to measure general characteristics, mental fitness, perspective taking, and attitude toward the elderly. Brain waves were measured by quantitative encephalogram in the prefrontal lobe. High frequency and high level of care tasks were analyzed using content analysis. Results: According to analysis of brain waves, caregivers experienced high level of physical strain & stress and psychological distraction & stress. Mental fitness (p<.05) and perspective taking (p<.001) were associated with attitude toward the elderly. Moreover, physical strain & stress was associated with psychological distraction & stress (p<.05, p<.001). High frequency and high level tasks were excretion and position change & movement care related tasks, respectively. Conclusion: These findings should be consider as an evidence for supporting care tasks based on concrete and objective understanding of caregivers using self-reported index as well as neurophysiological indicators including brain waves.

  • This study examines cultural differneces in psychosocial maturity experiences between collectivistic and individualistic cultures. Personal, relational, and social dimensions were assessed to explore psychosocial maturity experience of elderly Korean residents in Korea and Canada who were psychosocially well developed through in-depth interviews and a content analysis. According to the results, there were diverse similarities and differences in the psychosocial maturity of elderly Korean residents between the two cultures. First, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures showed positive self-concept and self-satisfaction. However, there were differences in their meaning. Second, in terms of interpersonal relations, the most important and satisfying relationship was the spousal relationship for both cultures, and relationships with children were satisfying. However, there were differences in the meaning of relationships between the two cultures as well as gender differences. Third, psychosocially mature elderly residents in both cultures reported psychosocial factors such as mature aging as a social dimension. Elderly residents in Korea regarded mature aging as a relationship oriented phenomenon, whereas those in Canada reported social attitudes toward mature aging. In addition, elderly residents in both cultures reported greed and harm to others as immature aging. Elderly residents in Korea regarded relational discord as immature aging, whereas those in Canada regarded it as demanding adult treatment from future generation. In terms of transcendence, adjustment was reported as living by going with the flow. Elderly residents in Korea reported adjustment based on fatalism, whereas those in Canada showed some religious meaning. Finally, psychosocially mature elderly residents showed a positive view, acceptance and life integration. These results are discussed from the perspective of cultural differences.

  • The purpose of this study was to explore university students′ perceptions about the elderly before and after an introductory course for gerontology. Sixty-two male and female undergraduate students participated in the study as a part of the course requirement. Throughout the semester, theme students received a series of classroom lectures on gerontology, as well as participated in diverse activities to experience elderly lives. A survey was administered with the students at the beginning of the first day of class and at the end of the semester. By the end of the unit university students were more likely to have accurate conceptions of and positive attitudes toward aging and the aged. More specifically, they were more likely to (1) perceive "old" and "getting old" as a positive one, (2) seem older adults spend their time on active self-development and social activities, (3) view older adults are important, (4) change opinions about what an old person and young person do together, and (5) have a positive outlook on their own future lives as older adults.

  • This study investigated Korean and Chinese female college students' retirement attitudes. Considering the fact that the two countries are experiencing dramatic increases in elderly population, retirement planning is a significant social issue. Even though Korea and China share similar cultural backgrounds, economic systems and governmental retirement policies have been developed in different ways. The purpose of this research was to compare retirement attitudes and related factors between Korean and Chinese female college students. Based on a survey with 214 female college students (130 Koreans and 84 Chinese), differences and similarities in retirement attitudes and related factors were identified. On average, Chinese female college students showed more positive attitudes towards retirement than Korean students. The levels of thinking about retirement and worrying about finances in retirement were greater for Korean students than Chinese students. More Korean students anticipated that their actual retirement age will be earlier than their desired retirement age. Korean students believed that they should start retirement planning at an earlier age than Chinese students' retirement planning age. Korean students anticipated that the cost for food and housing as the major expenditure category in retirement while Chinese students anticipated cost for health care as the major expenditure category. Korean students who worry about finances in retirement, and those who anticipated that they will retire earlier than their desired age showed negative retirement attitudes when controlling other factors. Implications for retirement planning and education were presented based on the research findings.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 노인을 대상으로 하여 식품안전에 대한 위생 지식, 태도, 식품취급 행동을 파악함으로써 식품안전 위험요인을 진단하여 노인을 위한 식생활 안전 교육을 위한 기초자료로 제시하고자 하였다. 도시와 농촌지역의 65세 이상 노인 400명을 대상으로 2011년 4월 13일부터 28일까지 진행되었으며, 불성실한 응답을 제외한 358부를 자료 분석에 이용하였다. 응답자의 83.6%가 65세~80세, 69.5%가 단독거주 또는 노인 부부였으며, 49.2%가 50만 원 미만의 수입이었다. 노인들의 식품위생 지식은 '장을 볼 때 라면보다 냉동 오징어를 먼저 구입해야 한다'(도시 60.5%, 농촌 42.0%, P<0.001), '귤을 씻어서 먹어야 한다'(도시 75.4%, 농촌 49.7%, P<0.001), '간 쇠고기로 만든 고기완자전은 내부까지 완전히 익혀 먹어야 한다'(도시 95.4%, 농촌 90.2%, P<0.001)의 항목에서 도시 노인이 농촌 노인보다 유의적으로 높은 지식을 보였다. 식품위생 태도는 '나물은 맨손으로 무쳐야 맛이 좋다'(도시 34.9%, 농촌 33.2%, P<0.05)의 문항에서 도시 노인이 올바른 태도를 가지고 있었다. '먼저 구입한 식품을 먼저 먹으려고 한다'(도시 88.2%, 농촌 92.1%, P<0.001), '냉장고에 있는 음식이 조금이라도 이상하다고 느끼면 버리려고 한다'(도시 84.1%. 농촌 91.4%, P<0.001), '불고기를 조리할 때 고기가 완전히 익었는지 확인을 하려고 한다'(도시 88.8%, 농촌 87.8%, P<0.05), '돼지고기를 굽던 젓가락과 식사에 사용하는 젓가락을 구분하려고 한다'(도시 78.5%, 농촌 70.6%, P<0.001)의 문항에서 도시 노인과 농촌 노인의 태도에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. '점심때 밖에서 사 온 김밥을 식탁 위에 두었다가 저녁에 먹을 경우 상했을지 걱정을 한다'(도시 82.6%, 농촌 86.5%, P<0.05), '날달걀은 영양이 풍부하고 건강에 좋아서 마시는 것을 선호한다'(도시 71.8%, 농촌 76.7%, P<0.05), '생굴을 먹을 때 배탈이 날까 걱정을 한다'(도시 53.9%, 농촌 64.2%, P<0.05)의 문항에서 '그렇다'와 '매우 그렇다'라고 응답하였으며 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 식품위생 행동 분석 결과 대부분의 노인이 화장실에 다녀온 후, 외출에서 돌아온 후, 식사하기 전에는 손을 씻는다고 응답하였으나, 조리하는 도중 다른 일을 하고 다시 조리하게 될 경우 손을 씻는다고 응답한 노인은 도시 거주 노인(67.9%), 농촌 거주 노인(58.7%)으로 조사되었다. 생쇠고기를 자른 후 채소를 잘라야 할 때 도마세척 방법은 '흐르는 물로 도마를 닦는다'의 응답이 가장 많았다. '얼린 냉동고기를 해동하는 방법'에 대해서는 도시에 거주하는 노인들은 '싱크대 위 또는 식탁 위에서 해동시킨다'고 45명(33.8%)이 응답하였고, 농촌에 거주하는 노인들의 40명(39.6%)이 응답하였다. 노인들이 얼린 냉동고기를 해동하는 방법으로 싱크대 위나 식탁 위에서 해동한다는 응답이 가장 높은 비율을 보이는 것으로 보아 해동과정에서 발생할 수 있는 식중독의 위험성에 대해 인지하고 있지 못한 것으로 보인다. 노인을 대상으로 한 교육프로그램 개발은 물론 건강교육의 효과를 높이기 위한 학습동기 강화프로그램을 접목하거나 일회성이 아닌 지속 교육이 필요할 것으로 생각한다. 본 연구는 남성 노인의 비율보다 여성 노인의 비율이 상대적으로 더 높았으며, 설문조사가 복지관을 중심으로 수행되어 노인들이 경제적으로 여유롭지 못한 경우가 많아 중산층 이상의 일반노인들에게 확대 적용하기에는 한계가 있을 것으로 생각한다. 본 연구는 우리나라 노인의 식품안전 문제를 진단하여 노인 대상 식생활 안전 교육자료 개발과 교육을 위한 기초자료로 제공될 수 있을 것이다.

  • The objectives of this study were to classify the types of elderly households and to compare the characteristics of their dietary lifestyle. Panel data surveyed by Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) for Food Purchase Attitudes over three years (2019 - 2021) were utilized for the analysis. Through a factor analysis, five common factors were extracted out of 19 basic variables related to dietary style, which indicate two kinds of consumer competency index (safe diet, traditional diet) and three kinds of purchase frequency (healthy food, meat & fish, fresh seafood). Applying the cluster analysis method, by using socioeconomic variables along the five common factors, elderly households aged 60 or older were grouped into four types. As a result, Type 1 elderly households accounted for 50.8%, Type 2 for 16.2%, Type 3 for 27.8%, and Type 4 for 5.2% out of all 870 elderly households. Type 1 is characterized as a low-income vulnerable class with a poor diet, Type 2 as a middle-income class with a healthy food-oriented diet, whereas Type 3 was classified as a middle-income class with a meat-oriented diet, and Type 4 as a high-income class with diverse dietary culture. It is necessary to expand the agri-food voucher pilot project to the entire country and also increase the monthly subsidy for the Type 1 elderly households. Implementing community kitchen projects for elderly single-person households, promoting senior internships by providing incentives to companies that employ retirees, the provision of education by local governments on a safe and balanced diet for Types 2 and 3, and the promotion of an elderly-friendly social environment are also recommended.
