Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the sexual life and sexual life satisfaction of elderly people. Method: The participants were 181 elders over 65 years of age. Data were collected from February 10 to December 15, 2007 by interviews and questionnaires. Results: Of the respondents 17.1% still had sex in their lives but sexual satisfaction was less than that of middle-aged adults. Further, 31.8% of the elders reported no experience of sex over the past 10-19 years. The reasons for not having sex were 'no sexual partner' or 'no sexual desire'. Finally, 27.2% wanted to have a date. The main reason for dating was to relieve loneliness and the reason for not dating was 'good as it is', 'having date is shameful'. The level of satisfaction with sexual life was 2.71. Satisfaction with sexual life was higher for elders who had a spouse and for elders who still had sex. Conclusion: This study provides bases on the usefulness of various nursing intervention programs to enhance the quality of life through better understanding of the sexual life and sexual life satisfaction of elders.

Purpose: The purposes of this study was to analyze the effects of a health education program using problem-based learning on health related knowledge, behavior, and quality of life in elderly people. Methods: The participants included 44 elders, of whom 23 took the health education program and 21 did not. All participants were over 60 yr of age and were selected from residents of nursing homes or participants in activities of social welfare facilities in Jeju Province. Elders in both groups completed pre- and post-tests. Elders in the education group participated in 5 weekly sessions, 100-120 min/session of problem-based learning on health education. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 12.0. Results: Scores for health knowledge, health behavior, and quality of life for the education group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: A problem-based learning health education program can be recommended as a method to promote the health of the elders. Indirectly, the results seem to indicate that proper assessment and support should be provided simultaneously in the management of elders' health. Finally, future study is needed to examine whether problem-based learning is more helpful compared to traditional education.

Methods: Data were collected from 398 adults aged 30-65, and analyzed with the SPSS/WIN program. Results: In the elder abuse perception, there were differences in age, marital status, education, job, person to be taken care of, age of elderly mother, duration of caregiving, economic status and health status of elderly parents.

This study was to identify various personal characteristics between those having a helper and those not having a helper for ADL and IADL performance in noninstitutionalized elders. Secondary analysis was done with the data collected in 1994 national survey of aged householders. Of the elders with ADL limitations $47.8\%$ had no helper. while $26.2\%$ of those with IADL limitations had no helper. Those elders with a helper experienced more limitations in ADL and in IADL than those with no helper. Most of the helpers were family members. whereas very few had a formal helper. Age period and subjective economic status were significantly different between the groups with a helper and with no helper for both ADL and IADL. Compared to the elders with a helper. those elders with no helper had fewer children living together. whereas they had more grandchildren. They also had more contacts with friends or neighbors. Health status. in general. was worse in those elders with a helper than those with no helper. Logistic regression analysis revealed that ADL and IADL limitations had largest influence on having an ADL helper. The odds ratios for low levels of subjective economic status were very high. As for having an IADL helper. IADL score was the most important predictor. In particular. ADL limitations had a negative effect on having an IADL helper. This finding may indicate the urgency of ADL needs. which leads to the lack of an IADL helper when both ADL and IADL limitations are present. Considering the nature of ADL. those disabled elders with low economic status need public support for their daily activities and for home visiting nursing services. There should be studies of examining the adequacy of help in satisfying basic needs for performing ADL and IADL in elders.

고령 사회를 맞이한 우리나라는 노인 스스로 평가한 생활만족도를 통해 삶의 질을 평가하는 것이 중요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 노후준비가 생활만족도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 사회적지지 및 죽음불안과의 관련성을 검토하고자 한다. 연구방법은 충남의 한 노인복지관을 이용하는 65세 이상 회원을 대상으로한 조사를 통해 확보한 282명의 설문자료를 분석하였으며, 자료 분석은 위계적 다중회귀분석을 통해 노후준비가 생활만족도에 미치는 영향 및 사회적지지 및 죽음불안의 관련성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 노후준비, 사회적 지지, 죽음불안 각각의 요인은 생활만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 나아가 노후준비와 사회적지지의 상호작용 효과를 확인하였다. 성공적 노후를 위해 노후준비 정도뿐 아니라 사회적지지와 죽음불안이 관련될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 노인으로만 구성된 가구를 대상으로 선행 연구에서 다루지 않은 설명변수를 투입하고, 패널분석(panel data model)을 활용하여 노인의 특성별로 이들의 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 연령, 학력, 혼인상태, 자산, 거주지역 등과 함께 과거의 직업력이 중요한 요인임이 확인되었으며, 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 노인의 특성별로 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 이러한 분석 결과는 노후의 상황만을 고려한 노인의 탈빈곤정책은 사후적이라는 문제를 제기한다. 따라서 잠재적으로 노인 빈곤층이 될 수 있는 현재의 근로빈곤층에 대한 정책의 중요성과, 현재 보험방식으로 이루어지고 있는 공적연금제도의 전환을 위한 노력을 시사한다.
