This study uses [the instrument of ageing anxiety] in order to find if a negative prejudice against the old affects the attitude toward sex of the aged. The result shows no significant relation between ageing anxiety and the knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged. However, it does show that the higher the ageing anxiety is, the lower the knowledge of sex and the more restrictive the attitude toward it. The knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged shows meaninggul changes after education. Nursing students who were educated come to have more knowledge about and are more open to it. This result supports the preposition of this study. As society grows older the endeavour to guarantee a high-quality life for the old is necessary and the old should be regarded as an entity which has its own characteristic desires. Especially for the old to enjoy a good life as a sexual being, the mystical barriers about sex and old age ought to be removed. In the future the old themselves may maintain sexual desires regardless of age and society will be required to correct its prejudice against the old having sex. Particularly nursing students, as an effort to provide the old with overall care, should examine the elderly's sexual desires in a physical, psychological, and social context and consider the normal sexual changes occuring during the aging process and finally integrate this information into their nursing plans. In order to fulfill this role successfully they should overcome their own prejudice and educate themselves about this particular problem. As the proportion of the old becomes bigger and the concern about the quality of their life grows, sex among the old will become more important in the nursing field. By putting an educational mediation programme into operation with nursing students and estimating the effect, this study supplies the foundation to activate new educational programmes. In short it tells us that education can be a practical method to confront the myth and conventions concerning sex among the aged.

Current world population is rapidly ageing and the disabled population is expected to age seriously as well. The concern about the elderly and the disabled is increased largely not just the field of social welfare and service but the housing planning where the physical environment of everyday life is. Recently in Ireland, 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes' is established and proposed in public. It is considered as initial and special national policy for the socially venerable. The purpose of this research is to analyze the User Benefit Characteristics(UBC) of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' and clearly organize the characteristics for comprehensive communication. The research subjects are 444 guidelines of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland.' The research is conducted by contents analysis technique, and each guideline is analyzed by the 4 main concepts of UBC- 'Behavioral Facilitation(BF)', 'Physiological Maintenance(PhM)', 'Perceptual Maintenance(PM)', 'Social Facilitation(SF).' As results, the User Benefit Characteristic of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' is ordered by PhM>PM>BF>SF. The design guidelines are supposed to support ageing in place and sustainable living in the existing houses even though people are ageing or being disabled. 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' supports safe behavior and comfort cognition especially in indoor and surrounding outdoor environment. This research is significant for sharing the knowledge and comprehension of decreasing environmental stress of the elderly in specific, and could be utilized for developing new elderly housing in future.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 노인접촉경험과 노화지식이 노인차별인식에 영향을 주는 관계에서 공감능력의 매개 효과를 검정하고자 하였다. 연구목적을 위해 2018년 12월 20일~30일까지 J도 D대학 학생 355명에게 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사자료는 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 사용하여 신뢰도 분석, 상관관계 분석, 위계적 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 매개효과의 통계적 유의성은 Sobel의 검증을 통해 확인하였다. 분석결과 노인접촉경험과 노인차별인식의 영향 관계에서 공감능력의 부분매개효과가 검증되었다. 또한 노화지식과 노인차별인식 간에도 공감능력의 부분매개효과가 검증되었다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 통해 대학생의 노인차별인식을 개선하기 위해서 노화지식 함양과 노인 접촉경험을 확장하고 공감능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 실질적인 교육 및 훈련프로그램 개발의 필요성을 확인하였다.

The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body, It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc are thought to develop as aging, mechanical stress and metabolic factors. Genetic factors may also play a part in the onset or progress of the degenerative process. They, together with environmental factors, may act as determinants of the structural characteristics of the intervertebral disc and produce a tendency to generation, In this short review we outline the morphplogy and biochemistry of normal intervertebral disc and the changes that arise during degeneration. Therefore this study will review degeneration of intervertebral disc, so we will have knowledge about low back pain associated with degenerative change in the intervertebral disc.

이 글은 인구고령화에 대응하는 복지 과학기술의 잠재적 기여와 역할을 고찰한 시론이다. 이 글에서 복지 과학기술은 복지 중진을 위해 적용되거나 체화된 지식의 체계를 가리키되 신체기능의 저하나 손상에 대한 예방, 보조, 지원을 통해 삶의 질을 향상하는 기술을 의미하고, 단순히 손상되거나 저하된 신체기능의 보상과 대체만이 아니라 사회적 기술적 환경과 지원 시스템의 확충을 포함하는 개념이다. 복지 과학기술은 종래 장애인이나 노인 등 특정 집단의 사람들을 위한 제품이나 서비스에 초점을 맞추었으나 연령이나 장애에 관계없이 모든 사람이 사용할 수 있는 보편적 디자인제품이나 서비스를 강조하는 방향으로 중요한 변화가 일고 있다. 이러한 복지과학기술의 개념 변화는 복지 과학기술이 일차적으로 노인복지를 증진하는 잠재력을 주목할 뿐만 아니라 우리 사회의 삶의 질을 전반적으로 높이는 가능성을 직시하고 나아가서 사회경제적 활력을 증진하는 데 기여할 가능성을 포착할 수 있도록 한다. 인구고령화에 대응하는 복지 과학기술 또는 제론테크놀로지(GT)는 '개인적 지체'만이 아니라 '구조적 지체'에도 대응해야 한다는 것이 본고의 중요한 주장 가운데 하나이다. 이것은 노인들을 단지 사회적 보호나 개호의 대상자 집단으로 객체화하는 것이 아니라 나이가 들어서도 독립적으로 살아가고자 하는 주체적 존재이며 정상적 시민으로 바라보는 관점의 전환을 함축한다.
