본 연구의 목적은 노인의 건강증진행위가 성공적 노후에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 건강증진행위가 성공적 노후로 가는 경로에 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 어떠한 매개역할을 하는지를 구체화하고 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 성공적 노후에 유의미한 영향에 관해 알아보고자 하는 것이었다. 경기도 노인복지관을 이용하는 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 250부를 분석에 사용하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS Win 25를 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, t-test와 일원배치 분산분석, 상관분석을 실시하였다. 매개효과분석을 통해 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 설정한 인과 관계를 검증하고 나아가 성공적 노화 인식과 생활만족도가 이러한 인과관계에 매개효과가 있는지를 검증하였다. 연구 결과 노인들의 건강증진행위는 성공적 노화인식, 생활만족도, 성공적 노후에 영향을 주었고, 노인들의 성공적 노화 인식은 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 매개 역할을 하였으나 생활만족도는 건강증진행위와 성공적 노후 간에 매개 역할을 하지 못했다. 함의는 건강증진 지원 전문가, 모델 및 프로그램 개발, 홍보 및 교육기회 제공이 필요하다. 노인의 다양한 유·무형적 요인을 고려한 지원이 필요하고, 경제 및 현재 건강 수준에 맞게 정책이 마련되어야 한다.

Methods: A qualitative research design was used to understand the health-related experiences of foreign wives. Ten informants were interviewed from December 2007 to December 2009. Results: The health related life experiences of foreign wives were analyzed within a self development process; Choice and struggle, Change and opportunity, and Settlement and expectation. The theme of choice and struggle includes physical and emotional stress in the initial stage of marriage. The second process of change and opportunity focused on the coping strategies of the women having power after knowledge acquisition from the multicultural family support center.

Purpose: This study investigated the muscle activity of the lower trapezius (LT) during three different shoulder flexion exercises. Methods: Twenty-three subjects between 20 and 25 years of age were enrolled. The subjects were asked to perform three different shoulder flexion exercises: 1) shoulder flexion in prone (SFP), 2) shoulder flexion in push-up with a swiss ball (SFPUS) and 3) shoulder flexion in a quadruped position with a swiss ball (SFQPS) in random order. The muscle activity of LT during each shoulder flexion exercise was measured by using surface electromyography. The muscle activity of LT was compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc test among three different shoulder flexion exercises. The statistical significance level was set at α=0.01. Results: The muscle activity of LT was significantly different among three different shoulder flexion exercises (SFP, SFPUS, and SFQPS). The LT muscle activity with SFQPS exercise was greater than SFP and SFPUS exercises (p<0.01). There was no significant difference in LT muscle activity between SFP and SFPUS exercises (p>0.01). Conclusion: The LT muscle activity was greater during SFQPS than SFP and SFPUS. Therefore, SFQPS exercise can be recommended for selectively activation of LT muscle.

The purpose of this study was to analyze womens' health problems using Green & Kreuter's 1991 PRECEDE model and to develop a model for a womens' health care center located in the community. The subjects were recruited from Wonju City. 1. The results showed that 23% of the sample population felt there was a need for a womens' health care center. The mean number of health problems was 3.1. The prevalence rate, was 44.4%, and the rate for an artificial abortion, was 36.4%. Also 30.5% did not have a health examination in the past year. Women using the hospital for medical care accounted for 45% of the sample, while 40% used the drugstore. The average score on the HPLP was 2.41, and this was influenced by self-efficacy, family support, sexual role, and health locus of control. There are a few educational programs in the city provided by the Wonju Health Center and by community health nurse practitioners. 2. The nursing center, as defined in North America, is a nurse-anchored system of primary health care delivery or neighborhood health center. Centers offer various services ranging from primary care to the more traditional such as education, health promotion, wellness screening, and coordination of services by advanced practice nurses. For examples in Sweden MCH centers provide total services for childbearing women and their families, sexual counseling and education for adolescents, and screening by midwives for cervical cancer. 3. The developed model combines purpose, target population, organization, and services, and is related to health resources. The purpose is primary health care and promotion of the quality of life. The target population can be grouped according to the life cycle, (premarriaged age group, the childbearing/child rearing age group, and middle aged and elderly women) and focuses on self-help. The organization of the center includes an advisory committee to plan and evaluate, and a health services team that will be multidisciplinary to provide health care, counseling education, and research. The model development suggested that a variety of women's health care centers are needed to insure adequate management of women's health. Follow-up research using PROCEED is needed to analyze health outcomes. Also a health nursing specialist system is required to develop health promotion, and improve the quality of life of women.

목 적: 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 관련요인을 분석하여 암환자가 가지고 있는 신체적, 정신적 문제들에 대한 삶의 질 정보를 획득하고 향후 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질을 개선하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2010년 7월 15일부터 8월 15일까지 대전광역시 내 대학병원에서 방사선 치료를 받은 경험이 있는 환자 107명을 대상으로 다양한 특성과 지지 형태에 대한 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 조사하고 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 결 과: 질환으로 인한 통증이 있는 경우가 65.61점, 질환으로 인한 통증이 없는 경우가 81.87점으로 통증이 없는 경우에서 삶의 질 점수가 높게 나타났고 체중이 감소할수록 삶의 질 점수가 낮아졌으며 경제적 특성에 따른 삶의 질 점수를 비교한 결과 치료기간을 제외한 모든 항목에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(P=0.000). 사회적지지, 가족지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감의 점수가 낮은 경우 삶의 질 점수는 128점 만점에 각각 61.71, 68.77, 71.31, 69.39점으로 나타났으며 반면 지지유형의 점수가 높은 경우 삶의 질 점수는 각각 90.47, 83.29, 90.40, 90.36점으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 대상자의 사회적지지, 가족지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감과 삶의 질 정도의 상관관계를 분석하여 본 결과 사회적지지 0.768, 가족지지 0.596, 의료인지지 0.434, 자아존중감 0.516으로 통계학적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다(P<0.01). 삶의 질과 관련이 있는 요인으로는 결혼을 한 경우가 결혼을 하지 않은 경우보다 삶의 질이 증가하였고 직업을 가진 경우가 직업이 없는 경우보다 삶의 질이 증가하여 나타났다. 또한 통증이 있는 경우보다 통증이 없는 경우에서 삶의 질이 증가하였으며 월평균 수입이 증가할수록 삶의 질이 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 사회적지지, 의료인지지가 높을수록 삶의 질은 0.979배, 0.508배 높게 나타났으며 자아존중감이 높을수록 1.667배 삶의 질이 증가하였다. 결 론: 방사선 치료를 받은 암환자의 삶의 질은 사회적지지, 의료인지지, 자아존중감과 유의한 관련이 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 자아존중감은 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이므로 국가가 정책적으로 질병에 영향이 가지 않는 선의 업무를 부여하여 소득을 창출한다면 자아존중감을 극대화시키는 동시에 경제적 부담을 감소시킬 수 있는 유용한 방법이 될 것이다. 더불어 의료진의 관심과 암환자 가족을 위한 프로그램 등의 기초자료 개발은 암환자와 가족, 더 나아가 의료진 모두가 한마음이 되어 암환자의 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 지표가 될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify levels of quality of health-related life (EQ-5D) and its related factors among vulnerable elders receiving home visiting health care services in some rural areas. Methods: The subjects of this study were vulnerable elders aged 65 or higher receiving visiting health care benefits by a public health center in a county. Results: Levels of health-related EQ-5D were high when the subjects were males, their ADL and IADL were high. The EQ-5D of the vulnerable elders and social supports had a positive correlation, while their IADL and depression had a negative correlation with the EQ-5D. We can see that the EQ-5D related factors are variables that have significance influence on gender, subjective health status, BMI, IADL, depression levels, and social support. Conclusion: To improve the EQ-5D of the vulnerable elderly, it needs maintenance of independent IADL levels, social supporting systems using small meeting of the elderly in community. It is necessary to maintain independent IADL levels, enhance social supporting systems including small group gatherings for elders living alone by means of places like community halls, and develop specific intervention programs for the prevention and management of depressive elders.

Background: Rapid population aging in developed countries has resulted in the working-age population increasingly being tasked with the provision of informal care. Methods: An educational intervention was delivered to 21 carer-employees employed at a Canadian University. Work role function, job security, schedule control, work-family conflict, familywork conflict, and supervisor and coworker support were measured as part of an aggregated workplace experience score. This score was used to measure changes pre/post intervention and at a follow-up period approximately 12 months post intervention. Three random intercept models were created via linear mixed modeling to illustrate changes in participants' workplace experience across time. Results: All three models reported statistically significant random and fixed effects intercepts, with a positive coefficient of change. Conclusion: This suggests that the intervention demonstrated an improvement of the workplace experience score for participants over time, with the association particularly strong immediately after intervention.
