본 연구는 노인의 가구 유형을 독거와 동거로 구분하여 동반식사 시 우울에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 분석을 위해 국민건강영양조사의 제 7기 1차(2016)년도의 자료를 이용하였다. 65세 이상 노인 총 1,233명을 최종 분석 대상자로 선정하였고, 동거인이 없을 경우를 독거, 그 외를 동거가구로 구분하고 세끼 중 한 끼 이상 동반식사를 하면 동반식사군, 전부 혼자 식사할 경우 혼자식사군으로 분류하였다. 수집된 자료는 통계프로그램 SPSS/WIN 21.0을 이용하여 국민건강영양조사에서 부여한 가중치를 반영한 복합 표본 자료분석방법으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 동거가구에서 동반식사를 하는 노인은 855명(89.5%), 혼자 식사하는 노인은 100명(10.5%)이었고, 독거가구에서 동반식사를 하는 노인은 86명(30.9%), 혼자 식사하는 노인은 192명(69.1%)이었다. 본 연구에서 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인을 회귀분석을 통해 분석한 결과, 가족동거 노인군에서는 동반식사를 할수록 낮은 우울수준을 경험하는 것으로 나타났으나(β=-1.663, p<.001), 독거노인군의 경우 동반식사와 우울간의 유의미한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다(β=-0.856, p=.148). 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 동거가족이 있는 노인의 경우 동반식사를 늘려줄 수 있는 인식개선사업이나 가족을 포함한 타인과 함께 식사할 수 있는 다양한 지역사회 프로그램의 개발 및 적용이 필요할 것이다. 또한, 독거노인의 경우 그들이 처한 특수 상황으로 인해 신체적, 심리적인 건강이 전반적으로 취약해져있으므로, 이 집단에 대해서 지역사회의 지속적인 관심과 집중이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purposes: Caregivers are placed in a poor working environment because there is no special legal basis or definition in the current medical system, and they have difficulty in supplying manpower due to frequent job change and retirement. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the effect on job consciousness, job stress, job satisfaction, and turnover intention of caregivers in nursing hospitals for the elderly. Methodology: In this study, a survey was conducted from May 2nd to 16th, 2022, targeting caregivers with more than 6 months of work experience working at 10 nursing hospitals in D City. Data were collected through convenience sampling, and a self-administered questionnaire method was used, in which subjects filled out a questionnaire. A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed, and 220 copies were considered for the final analysis after excluding non-response or inappropriate questionnaires for data use. Data analysis used t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis, and the main results are as follows. Findings: Job stress and job satisfaction showed a significant correlation with the level of turnover intention, and were also found to be major determinants. On the other hand, among the occupational characteristics of the study subjects, employment type, job motivation, service period, number of patients, injury experience, and license status showed a significant difference from turnover intention. Conclusion: As a result of the above research, in order to prevent job turnover and retirement by improving job stress and job satisfaction of caregivers engaged in nursing hospitals, it is necessary not only to legalize caregivers, but also to secure an appropriate level of caregivers for nursing hospitals and improve specific treatment for caregivers. Ultimately, a policy alternative that can provide quality nursing service is required.

Purpose: Clinical characteristics and medical cost were analyzed according to the surgical procedures for intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients to assess the appropriateness of treatment expense and to find possibility of reducing the medical cost. Method: Variable for the statistical analysis were; the clinical characteristics, medical cost according to the surgical procedures, the treatment success rate, the total medical expense, and the average expense per case. SAS Package Version 8.02. was used to analyze the relevant data. Results: Operative procedures differ significantly according to the gender and by the location of institution. Only significant clinical variables according to the operative procedure were duration of general anesthesia and amount of blood transfusion. Average cost per treatment was the highest in the bipolar hemiarthroplasty followed by the gamma nail and hip compressing screw. Average cost for bipolar hemiarthroplasty was significantly higher than other surgical procedures. Conclusions: The difference in hospital costs for treatment of intertrochanteric fracture originates from the utilized surgical procedures, mostly by the materials used. The method of surgical treatment should be carefully determined by the purpose of the surgery, in order to improve the quality of medical care and also to reduce the hospital cost.

본 논문은 노인요양시설 요양보호사들의 억제대 사용에 대한 인식을 조사한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료수집은 2016년 1월 13일부터 2월 10일까지 노인요양시설 요양보호사 113명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문을 통해 이루어졌다. 억제대 사용의 인식에 대한 전체 평균은 3.43(${\pm}0.24$)이였으며, 억제대 적용 이유로 가장 중요하게 생각하는 항목은 "대상자를 침대에서 떨어지지 않도록 보호하기 위하여"였으며, 주로 노인 대상자들의 안전사고를 예방하기 위한 항목에서 억제대 사용을 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 억제대 사용에 대한 지식은 18점 만점에 평균 11.23점으로 보통 수준이었으며, 50세 이하의 요양보호사들의 지식수준이 다소 낮았다. 억제대 사용에 대한 태도는 전체평균 9.19점으로 다소 긍정적으로 가급적 억제대 사용을 자제해야 한다고 생각했으며, 근무경력 3년 이하의 요양보호사들이 더 높게 나타났다. 억제대는 노인대상자의 신체 정신적 그리고 인권과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 가장 많은 시간을 함께 하는 요양보호사들의 억제대 사용에 대한 인식의 고려와 향상을 위하여 억제대 사용에 대한 정확한 지침과 눈높이에 맞는 교육이 제공되어야 한다.

Baby boomers are often defined by their support of their parents and their devotion to their children's educational success by providing financial and emotional aids. Now, 7.12 million baby boomers in South Korea are retiring, or are about to retire, without any retirement plans. Similar to financial stability, health, and leisure life, social capital is another important element in the quality life after retirement. This is because social capital can function as a potential resource network. Social capital is a source that provides money, information, goods, services, emotional aids, social relational opportunities etc. In the past, family and community provided social capital for the aged. However, the baby boomer generation cannot expect the same. The baby boomers have the task of creating new social capital that can assure their quality of life. Therefore, this study examines cohort characteristics of the baby boomer generation and, based on the examination, seeks an alternative for social capital. The results are as follows: First, social capital from the local community can be an alternative source of caring for the baby boomers in old age. Second, among the social capital of the local community, elderly care supported by a family friendly community is proposed. In addition, baby boomers must become the primary social capital that contributes to a mature civil society rather than a beneficiary of welfare for the aged.
