  • This study was conducted to determine the influence of socio-economic status of potential consumers on the types of senior congregate housing(SCH) among 4 urban areas(Seoul Metropolitan area, Busan, Gwangaju, and Daejun). This study was part or a research series to develop SCH which meets the korean situation. The Questionnaire used for the final analysis involved 1006 people and SPSS Windows program was used for statistical analysis. The opinion about SCH should differ among the 4 urban areas according to Socio-Economic Status(SES). The results of this study were as follows: The opinions on SCH varied in each region according to SES indicating that diverse constructions of senior housing to meet selective needs of the old can create high demand in a construction market. In order to induce active participation of the private sector, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, rather than the Ministry of Health and Welfare, should be in charge of the development of SCH. This is desirable in the perspective of developing new types of housing as for general housing. In this case, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation should consider geographic locations and environmental factors of each city. Moreover, the successful development of SCH needs an effort to reexamine an appropriate development plan rather than adopting the cases of developed countries without criticism. In terms of policies, the government should provide financial support for building sharing space, give an exception on a measurement rate, assist in the education of supervisors and establish a management system and so on.

Using 5-point Likert scale, survey was performed on 250 nurses on hospital information system quality, user satisfaction, and service innovation performance. Data were analyzed by t=test, ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis using SPSS WIN 24.0 program. The results showed that significant correlation between service innovation performance and independent variables was seen in system quality (r=0.644, p<.001), information quality (r=0.650, p<.001), service quality (r=0.629, p<0.001) and user satisfaction (r=0.831, p<.001). User satisfaction was a moderating variable between hospital information system quality and service innovation performance with explanatory power of 78.4%. Higher user satisfaction (B=0.557, p<.001) showed positive correlation with greater service innovation performance. Investigating the mediating role of user satisfaction between EMR quality and service innovation performance, it is suggested that importance of system quality, user friendly system support and service.

  • In order to provide basic data for the means to improve food situation and nutritional status of those supported by the National Basic Livelihood Security System (NBLSS), we examined household food insecurity and nutritional status of children under the support of NBLSS. This study included 209 children aged 3-12 years (99 boys and 110 girls) and their caretakers. We measured house food insecurity using Radimer/cornell Scale, children's body sizes and nutrient intake by semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and caretakers' nutritional management skills. Only 9.6% of the households were in food secured (FS) while 8.1% were in household food insecured, but without hunger (HFI), 42.1% were in adult food insecured with hunger (AFI), and 40.2% were in child hungry (CH). Important predictors of food security were nutritional management skills of the caretakers as well as their education, but neither income nor food expenditure of the households. Mean energy intake of the children was 86.0% of the Korean Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Intakes of protein, phosphorous, vitamin A and B$_1$ were relatively high ranging from 112.3% to 124.4% of the RDAs while those of calcium, iron, niacin, vitamin C were low showing 74.8-83.3% of the RDAs. Height, weight and weight/height ratio were close to the reference levels. Lower nutrient intakes of children were observed as the households were more food insecured. However, nutrient intakes and body sizes of children did not differ as a function of household socioeconomic status representing by income, food expenditure and caretakers' education. Results of this study suggest the importance of food security and nutritional management skills for the children's nutrient intakes. Concerning this matter, a need for nutrition education in the program for NBLSS was discussed.
