본 연구는 노인의 주관적 건강평가에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적변수, 신체건강상태, 건강행태와 관련된 요인들 중 성별 차이가 존재하는지 고찰하는 것이 목적이다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 한림대학교 고령사회연구소에서 수행한 한국 노인의 삶의 질 조사 중 가장 최근 조사인 2009년 제 4차 조사 자료를 횡단면으로 분석하였다. 연구대상자는 2009년 제 4차 조사시점에서 만 65세 이상의 응답자(N=986, 남성 407명, 여성 579명)만을 선택했으며 교육수준에 대한 변수를 제외하고 모두 제 4차 조사 자료에서 변수들을 추출했다. 분석방법으로는 $x^2$ 혹은 t-test를 실시하였으며 독립변수들이 주관적 건강평가에 유의미한 영향을 미칠 때 성별차이가 존재하는지 고찰하기 위하여 남녀 집단으로 나누어 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 회귀계수 남녀차이의 통계적 유의도를 검증하기 위해 Wald $x^2$ 으로 분석했다. 연구결과로는 회귀계수의 남녀차이 검증에서 두 집단 간의 차이를 야기한 변인들은 연령(75-84세), 교육수준, 도구적 일상생활수행능력이었으며 특히 교육수준은 여성에게 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주관적 경제상태는 남성과 여성 각각의 집단에서는 주관적 건강평가에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤지만 그 유의미한 영향이 남녀 간에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 신체건강상태에서는 도구적 일상생활수행능력에서 도움이 필요한 여성이 남성에 비해 더 자신의 건강을 부정적으로 인식했다. 인구사회학적 변인들, 신체건강상태, 건강행태 변인들 중 주관적 건강평가 시 남녀의 차이를 야기하는 변인들을 중심으로 정책지원이 이루어져 건강을 유지하고 관리하는데 남녀 간의 간극을 좁힐 수 있도록 하고 더 나아가 자신의 건강을 긍정적으로 인식할 수 있도록 변화시켜 나갈 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of self-help management program which strengthens self-efficacy for post stroke elders who attend day care center in Chongju. One group pretest-posttest design was used, and the subjects were 7 post stroke elders with hemiparesis. The self-help management program consisted of 5 sessions and each session included group education on stroke, ROM exercise, recreation and self-care strategies. Those strategies for encouraging and reinforcing self-efficacy provided verbal persuasion, performance accomplishment and vicarious experience. All subjects were questioned before and after the program about ADLs, IADLs, self-efficacy, self-care behavior and depression. The analysis of data revealed that the program was effective to increase the IADLs, self-efficacy and self-care behavior. However, there was no significant difference between pre and post ADLs and depression. The results indicated that this program may be adopted to improve the physical and psychological function of post stroke elderly patients in community settings.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 5 weeks self-help management program on reducing depression, promoting Activity of Daily Livings(ADLs), Instrumental Activity of Daily Livings(IADLs), grasping power, hope and self-efficacy for post stroke patients visiting public health care centers in Seoul. This was pre-experimental study, and the subjects were 27 post stroke hemiplegic patients. The program was composed of five sessions and each session had health education on stroke, ROM exercise and recreation. Data were collected from May to November, 2000, and all subjects were asked to complete the Questionnaires, be measured vital signs and grasping power. Data were analyzed with frequency, percent, paired t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient using SAS(version 6.12) program. The results were as follows : 1) The scores of ADLs were increased from 27.04 to 28.22 after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.005). 2) The scores of IADLs were increased from 18.70 to 19.78 after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.004). 3) The grasping power of right hand were increased from 21.87kg to 26.93kg after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.002). But the grasping power of left hand were statistically insignificant(p=.919). 4) The scores of depression were decreased from 39.63 to 35.30 after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.030). 5) The scores of hope were increased from 30.89 to 34.15 after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.002). 6) The scores of self-efficacy were increased from 67.70 to 76.37 after program, and that was statistically significant(p=.000). According to the results of this study, the scores of Activity of Daily Livings(ADLs), Instrumental Activity of Daily Livings (IADLs), hope, and self-efficacy and the grasping power were improved and depression was reduced in post stroke patients participating in self-help management program. Therefore we recommend to use self-help management programs as a nursing intervention for the post stroke patient.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the level of activities of daily living (ADL) in a group of community dwelling elderly. Methods: The subjects were 100 low-income elderly registered in a public health center. The data were analyzed using the SPSS/PC program. Results: The results were as follows: 1. The basic ADLs of the subjects were scored at 7 levels, and the mean score was 6.24 out of 7 points. The subjects did not necessarily require help from others, but might have needed more times or instrumental assists to perform ADLs. The lowest ADL score was reported on walking up to the stairs (5.05), for which the subjects did not need physical assistance, but needed a certain degree of supervision. The highest score was reported on self eating (6.74), followed by bowel management (6.60). 2. The mean IADL score of the subjects was 1.77 out of 4 points. indicating that the subjects were very independent in performing IADLs, without help from others. 3. In relation to general characteristics, the level of ADLs of the subjects was significantly different by age (F=6.65, P=.000), main activities (F=6.36, P=.001), perceived health status (P=4.66, P=.012), educational background (F=4.64, P=.03), marital status(F=4.62, P=.005), and major household income (F=4.15, P=.002). 4. The subjects' level of IADLs in relation to their general characteristics was significantly different by perceived health status (F=8.08, P=.001), major activities (F=7.33, P=.000), age (F=6.18, P=.000), family context (F=3.53, P=.018), religion (F=3.10, P=.019), marital status(F=2.62, P=.055), and major household income (F=2.31, P=.049).

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in Korea. Because of their sequelae, strokes are categorized as a sudden-onset, constant course chronic illness which needs continuous efforts for rehabilitation. Unfortunately, there are few community based rehabilitation program for post-stroke patients who stay at home. The authors developed a community based selp-help management program for post-stroke patients to enhance their rehabilitation process. The program consists of five sessions and each session contains health education. ROM exercise, ADL training, and stress management like foot reflexology. A professor and two graduate students of nursing college coordinated the program. To test the effects of the program we conducted a 5 week program to the 10 conveniently selected post-stroke patients who were living in Kang-buk district of Seoul. The Questionnaires about ADLs, IADLs, depression and life satisfaction were asked to the all subjects before and after program. The hand grisp power and muscle strength of four limbs were measured at the end of each sessions. The analysis of data revealed that the program was effective to increase the ADLs, IADLs, and muscle strength and to decrease the depression levels of subjects. However, there was no significant difference between pre and post hand grisp power and life satisfaction. Because the program was effective to Improve the physical and psycholocial function of subjects, we suggest continual development and Implementation of community based self-help management programs.

연구목적 : 각종 질병에서 임상적으로 인지기능평가 및 선별검사로 유용하게 사용되고 있는 정신상태소검사(MMSE)와 간이인지평가척도(BCRS)가 비외상성 피질하 뇌혈관질환 환자에서 인지기능평가에 유용한가를 평가하기 위하여 본 연구를 시도하였다. 연구대상 및 방법 : 1995년 1월 1일부터 9월 30일까지 경희대 한방병원 및 고려대부속병원 신경과에 입원하거나 통원치료중인 비외상성 피질하 뇌혈관 질환 환자 85명과 정상대조군 195명을 대상으로 하였다. 또한 환자군중 65명을 뇌영상 촬영소견에 따라 좌반구손상(21명), 우반구손상(31명), 양반구손상(13명) 환자군으로 나누었다. 이들에게 인지기능은 벤튼신경심리검사(Benton Neuropsycho-logical Assessment : BNA)로, 일상생활기능면은 노인상태에 대한 보호자 측정척도(Geriatric Evaluation by Relative's Rating Instrument : GERRI) 및 도구적 일상생활 활동척도 (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale : IADLs)를 이용하여 평가하였다. 연구결과 : 1) BNA는 좌우지남력과 운동지속성을 제외하고는 모든 하위항목에서 유의한 차이를 보였으나 MMSE 총점수와 하위척도 모두든 환자군과 정상대조군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. BCRS는 최근기억과 자신돌봄항목에서만 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 2) 편측성에 따른 세군간의 비교에서 BNA는 촉각형태검사(좌측), 손가락위치검사(좌, 우측)에서 세군간 유의한 차이를 보였으나 MMSE나 BCRS에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3) 일상생활기능과 MMSE, BCRS와의 상관관계에서 정상대조군에서는 MMSE, BCRS의 총점수 및 하위 척도점수가 노인상태에 대한 보호자 측정척도(GERRI)의 인지기능 하위척도점수와만 유의한 상관관계를 갖는 반면, 환자군에서는 노인상태에 대한 보호자 측정척도(GERRI)의 인지기능척도점수 이외에도 사회적 기능척도점수 및 도구적 일상생활 활동척도(IADLs) 점수와도 유의한 상관을 가져 두 군간에 차이를 보였다. 결론 : MMSE와 BCRS는 비외상 피질하 뇌혈관질환 환자에서 인지기능평가나 편측성 구분에 유용하지 않았다. 그러나 이들 검사는 환자군에서 일상생활기능과 같은 기능수준을 반영하고 있음을 보여 주었다.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify major factors associated with physical functioning among the Korean elderly. Methods: Data come from a survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,058 older people aged 60 years or elder living in the community. A hierarchical functioning scale was constructed, using upper and lower body mobility, IADLs, and ADLs. Socioeconomic characteristics, chronic conditions, measures of health status, health service use, and social support were analyzed to explore their influence on functioning. Polytomous logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify major contributing factors to different levels of functioning. Results: Persons of older age, female, with chronic diseases (heart disease, stroke, fracture/dislocation) were consistently more likely to show a higher degree of functional limitation. There were variations, however, among other factors; e.g., those with arthritis were more likely to be only mildly impaired, but not moderately or severely impaired. Conclusions: Older Korean adults living in the community with impaired functioning constitute persons with diverse characteristics. Policy and program activities need to address specific needs of older people in different functioning states.

This cross-sectional study was designed to describe in nutritional and health status of the Korean elderly residing in America using demographic variables, dietary, anthropometric and functional status indicators, and to investigate possible relationships among these variables. Sixty elderly persons aged 61-91 years were assessed in their homes. Dietary intake was estimated by the 24-hour recall and brief dietary questionnaire. The following anthropometric measures were taken : weight, height, knee height, triceps skinfold, and midarm circumference. Functional status was measured by activities of daily living(ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living(IADLs) questionnaires, and a measure of psychosocial status as "happiness score"(a life satisfaction questionnaire). Intakes of energy, calcium, magnesium, folacin, vitamin B6, and zinc were low in this elderly sample. Females 75 years of age and older had extremely low energy intakes. A large percentage of subjects reported difficulty with both activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. Subjects over 75 years of age reported more difficulty than younger subjects for most activities. Gender differnces were seen in anthropometric variables and energy intake. Happiness scores were similar in subjects, regardless of age or gender, however, happiness score was significantly correlated with the energy and protein intake(p<0.05). Several difficulties were encountered during the assessment of this elderly sample. The conditions in the home were unpredictable and often inadequate for the anthropometric measures in particular. Further research is needed to improve current methodologies so that they may be more adaptable to the conditions found in homes. in homes.
