The purpose of this study is to propose prototypical plans for a dwelling unit applying the concepts of 'open housing' and 'aging in place' for senior citizens living in cities focusing on specific life patterns with chronic disease. Especially, a unit was designed for diabetes patients because diabetes, a representative disease of elderly people, often accompanies complications such as arthritis and Alzheimer disease. A unit design suitable for the convenient life of the elderly people with diabetes will provide a guideline for the similar unit designs of the senior citizens with other diseases. In this study, three types of unit plan are proposed. A-type plan is for type-1 diabetes patients, B-type alt.1 for the independent seniors of type-2 diabetes patients, and B-type alt.2 for the dependant seniors of type-2 diabetes patients. And a support design for a unit plan with the exclusive area of $60\;m^2$ is proposed. The same support design is used for all three unit types. Although the locations of bathroom and storage room are fixed and the location of the kitchen is changeable only in wet-zone. In conclusion, senior residents with diabetes can choose one of three unit types before occupation and the chosen unit type can be renovated by replacing infill systems as the health condition or life style changes.

Purpose: This study was performed to understand health perception, health practice, and depression of the elderly and to identify their depression level according to health perception and health practice. Method: The subjects were 463 elders who have lived in the Jeju Island and data were collected from June to August in 2005. Data were analyzed by SPSS 10.0. Result: The mean score of depression was 12.94 out of 30, and had a statistically significant correlation with educational level (F=2.943 p=.033), occupation (F=4.611. p=.010), and the number of chronic diseases (F=5.303. p=.001). When the cutoff of 18 points was applied based on Jung et al. (1997), the depression ratio was 12.4%, and when the cutoff parameter by Yesavage et al (1993) was applied, themoderate depression ratio was 74.8% and the severe depression ratio was 3.4%. In health recognition, consideration of usual health state had a significant correlation with depression (F=3.553 p=.007) but consideration of health state compared to the previous year wasn't. In health practice, sleeping was in a significant correlation with depression (F=3.574 p=.011), but smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise, and rest were not. Conclusion: Based on above results, we need further study on another sample group and the development, application, and verification of health management, education, and counseling programs for the elderly. Also, additional research should be made on significant factors of elderly depression.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the effect on turnover intention (TI) of terminal care stress (TCS) on nurses working in long-term care hospitals (LCH). Methods: Participants were 182 nurses from 6 Seoul LCH. Data were collected from October to December, 2017. Self-report questionnaires were used to collect data on general characteristics, TCS, and TI. Results: Subjective satisfaction on the job (r=.52, p<.001), number of monthly terminal care elders (r=.16, p=.043), TCS (r=.16, p=.027), and sub-categories of TCS, 'difficulty for assigning timetable to care for terminally ill patients' (r=.17, p=.025), 'feeling a burden of caring for terminally ill patients' (r=.23, p=.002), and 'conflict with terminally patients' (r=.16, p=.034) showed statistically significant correlation with TI. Multiple regression analysis showed significant influence of subjective satisfaction with job (${\beta}=.52$, p<.001) and TCS (${\beta}=.23$, p=.001) with a 30.3% explanatory power. When sub-categories of TCS were entered, subjective satisfaction with the job (${\beta}=.50$, p<.001) and 'feeling burden of terminally ill patients' (${\beta}=.28$, p<.001) were factors significantly influencing TI with explanatory power of 32.8%. Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that it is needed to develop standardized practice guidelines and educational programs for terminal care in LCH as well as stress healing programs for nurses.

Objectives: This study investigated the health and nutritional status of the elderly according to the number of chronic diseases, using data obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013~2015. Methods: Data from a total of 2,310 individuals, aged 65 years and over, were used for the analysis. The elders were divided into 0 (n=375), 1 (n=673), 2 (n=637) and 3 or more (n=625) groups, by considering the number of chronic diseases. Results: Compared to other groups, the elderly subjects who were living with their spouse had the highest ratio in group 0 (P < 0.05), whereas subjects without economic activities had highest ratio in 3 or more group (P < 0.05). The EQ-5D index of subjects in the 0 group (0.90 ± 0.01) was higher than that in the 3 or more group (0.86 ± 0.01) (P < 0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, the energy intake of subjects was determined to be lowest in the 3 or more group (P < 0.05). Protein (P < 0.05) and riboflavin (P < 0.05) intakes of the 3 or more group were also lower than other groups. Conclusions: This study indicates that multimorbidity of the elderly is associated with their health and nutritional status. The nutrients intake of the elderly, especially energy, protein and riboflavin, tended to be lowest in the 3 or more group. Further research is required to elucidate the risk factors related to presence of multimorbidity in the elderly.

Purpose: This descriptive correlational study was done to analyze the relationship between social support and self-care in hypertensive patients aged 30 years or older. Methods: Data were collected from April 09 to April 16, 2020 through an online survey (Naver Form) at Internet cafes and SNS Eighty 80 adults aged 30 or older who had been diagnosed with high blood pressure at a medical institution participated in the study. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé's test and Pearson correlation coefficients with SPSS statistics 26.0. Results: The study results showed that social support for hypertensive patients was significantly higher for men (t=-2.17, p=.033), according to religious status (t=-2.33, p=.023), and the number of people in the household (F=6.05, p=.001). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between social support and hypertensive self-care (r=.24, p=.036). Conclusion: The results confirm that the social support of patients with hypertension is related to self care for hypertension management. As the number of elders and single-person households who cannot manage their health well increases, it is necessary to establish a long-term and continuous social support system for these clients.

코로나19는 한국 교회의 목회 방식에 큰 전환을 일으켰다. 대면 목회와 함께 인터넷과 미디어 기기를 활용한 비대면 목회의 장이 본격적으로 열리게 된 것이다. 물론 그동안 비대면 목회가 없었던 것은 아니나 교회목회 가운데 비중이 현저히 낮았던 것이 사실이다. 이러한 대면과 비대면 목회가 병행되는 환경 속에 디지털 취약 계층으로 분류된 노인은 이와 같은 변화에 적절하게 적응하고 있는지, 그들의 신앙생활에는 어려움이 없는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 한국 교회와 관련된 코로나19 현황과 그 영향을 정리하고, 기독 노인을 위한 교회 프로그램 현황에 대해 살펴보며, 기독 노인의 삶에 신앙생활이 얼마나 중요한 영향을 주는지에 대해 살펴보고, 이에 마리아 해리스 교육목회 이론을 적용하여 기독 노인의 신앙생활을 위한 교육목회 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 이는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코이노니아 측면에서 모든 사람을 소외되지 않게 환대하며 포용하기 위해 기독 노인이 가지고 있는 유산, 신념, 가치관, 삶의 방식 등을 교회 안과 밖의 사람들과 나눌 수 있도록 교육할 것을 제안하였다. 둘째, 레이투르기아 측면에서 영성 수행을 위해 미디어를 활용한 공동 기도의 내용을 제공하는 등을 통해 노인의 기도 생활을 개인적인 영역에서 공적인 영역으로 확대하여 기도와 정의를 실천하는 삶이 되도록 하는 교육목회를 제안하였다. 셋째, 디다케 측면에서 노인들이 변화하는 기술에 익숙하게 반응하도록 교육하는 것이 전제되어야 하며, 이에 교회는 가르침이 일어나는 환경을 온라인상으로까지 확대하며, 전통과 새로운 형태들의 교육 내용을 광범위하게 다루어야 함을 제안하였다. 넷째, 케리그마 측면에서 코로나로 인해 개인적으로나 사회적으로 어려움을 겪게 된 기독 노인들이 다시 말씀을 사모하고 경청하며, 말씀을 통해 코로나 위기를 극복할 수 있는 힘을 얻고, 이것이 교제, 기도, 가르침, 그리고 봉사의 커리큘럼으로 녹아들어 실천할 수 있게 해야 함을 제안하였다. 다섯째, 노인 의식을 전환하여 스스로가 섬김의 객체가 아닌 섬김의 주체가 되며, 디지털 격차 해소를 위한 디지털 리터러시 교육을 통해 섬김과 봉사의 장을 확대해야 함을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 최근 많은 관심이 되고 있는 경도인지장애 환자의 특징과 수단적 일상생활활동에 대해 알아봄으로써 임상가들에게 작업치료에서 경도인지장애환자를 평가 및 치료하는데 도움이 되고자 하였다. 현재 치매환자를 위한 작업치료는 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나 치매로 전환될 위험이 높은 경도인지장애 환자에 대하여 작업치료적 접근은 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 고찰에서는 정상노인과 감별하기 어려운 경도인지장애 환자의 작업영역 중 수단적 일상생활활동에 대해 초점을 맞추어야 한다는 근거들을 다루었으며, 경도인지장애 환자가 치매로 발전하는 것을 예방하기 위해서는 수단적 일상생활활동에 대한 고려가 필수적으로 이루어져야 함을 고찰하였다. 결론적으로, 치매로 발전 될 가능성이 높은 위험 집단인 경도인지장애 환자군의 작업영역을 고려한 수단적 일상생활활동에 대한 주기적인 평가와 그에 따른 작업치료적 개입이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile is a Gram (+), anaerobic, spore forming, rod shaped bacterium that can produce toxin. The objective of this study is to reveal the presence of C. difficile in meat products, to analyze the ribotype diversity by PCR and to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility of isolated strains. The organism was isolated in 22 out of 319 (6.9%) examined meat product samples and 9 out of 22 (40.9%) isolates were identified as RT027 and all isolates had the ability of toxin production. In terms of antibiotic susceptibility, all isolates were susceptive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, tetracycline and vancomycin and 21 (95.4%) isolates to metronidazole. On the other hand, imipenem and cefotaxim resistance was observed in all. In conclusion, the results of this comprehensive study conducted in Turkey deduced the presence of C. difficile in different meat products. Therefore, these products can be evaluated as a potential contamination source of C. difficile from animals to humans especially for elders, youngsters, long terms wide spectrum antibiotic used and immuno-suppressed individuals.
