주거 공간에 건강관리에 필요한 서비스가 제공되는 것은 'aging in place'의 실현을 가속화할 것이다. 그리고 이러한 주거공간의 변화는 의료비를 절감하고 삶의 질을 향상하는 복지 측면에서도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 고령자가 스스로 건강을 관리할 수 있도록 헬스케어 서비스(Healthcare service)를 아파트 단지 내에 적용하는 계획방안에 대해 도출하고 주거복지동의 첫 사업 대상지인 가양 7단지 영구임대주택 단지를 중심으로 내용을 전개하고자 한다. 먼저 거주자의 헬스케어 서비스 이용의향에 대해 조사하고 관심이 높은 응답자를 중심으로 실제 시범사업이 적용된 서비스의 사용모습 관찰 및 심층 인터뷰를 통해 추후 계획시 고려할 사항에 대해 도출하였다. 가양 7단지의 경우 유헬스케어 서비스에 대한 요구는 고령자보다는 고령자 진입층에서 더 강력하게 나타나지만 공통적으로 주호의 협소함으로 기기 설치 및 측정에 어려움을 느끼고 있었다. 관찰조사 결과 주호는 사용자세의 불편함으로 입식구조의 측정공간 계획이 필요하며 장비보관장소도 필요하다. 그리고 헬스케어 서비스를 위한 프로그램은 건강측정, 건강관리, 외부 시설과 연계된 시설로 나눠 계획할 수 있으며, 이는 건강측정 공간을 기본형, 즉 최소형으로 하여 점차 확대 적용할 수 있다. 가양 7단지의 경우, 별도의 복지 건물이 신축되므로 기능을 복합적으로 구성하는 혼합형의 프로그램을 적용할 수 있으며, 반자립 사용자에 대한 서비스까지 확대 적용하는 계획이 필요하다.

본 연구는 연령별 맞춤형 산림교육의 활성화를 위한 기초연구로서 우리나라 성인의 연령별 산림교육 이용현황 및 요구도를 분석하였다. 전국의 일반 성인 1,542명을 대상으로 설문을 실시한 결과, 우리나라 국민들의 산림교육 인지도와 이용경험에는 연령에 따른 차이가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 산림교육 인지도와 이용경험, 향후 산림교육 이용의향 및 산림교육이 전인적 성장에 기여하는 정도에 대한 인식에서 상대적으로 높은 연령대가 더 긍정적인 응답을 보였다. 또한, 산림교육 유경험자의 동반자 유형과 참여 동기에서 연령대별 특징이 나타났다. 산림교육 참여 동기는 '산림경관을 즐기기 위해', '새로운 것을 경험해보기 위해', '기분전환을 위해'라는 응답이 모든 연령대에서 공통적으로 높았으나, 30대는 다양한 배움에 대한 욕구, 50대 이상은 건강에 대한 욕구를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 40대는 모든 연령대 중 자녀를 포함한 가족과 산림교육에 참여하는 비율이 가장 많았다. 산림교육프로그램 운영기간과 진행시간에 대해서는 연령대가 높을수록 장기간을 선호하였고, 산림교육 선택에 있어 모든 연령층이 공통적으로 가장 중요하게 고려하는 것은 '접근성'인 것으로 드러났다. 향후 본 연구를 통해 연령별 산림교육 이용현황과 요구도의 차이를 고려한 맞춤형 산림교육프로그램 개발과 보급이 활성화될 수 있기를 기대한다.

삶의 방식 및 환경의 변화로 생활체육의 수요가 증가하고 있으며 해양스포츠 활동의 기회확대로 인해 해양스포츠인구도 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 해양스포츠가 가지고 있는 생활체육으로서의 가치를 문헌연구를 통해 탐구하였다. 탐구 결과, 해양스포츠는 여가만족, 복지기능과 같이 생활체육이 가지고 있는 삶의 질 향상을 위한 도구로서의 기능적 가치를 포함하고 있으며 개인의 삶에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 나아가 사회적 행복수준을 높이는데 기여할 수 있다. 또한, 해양스포츠는 자연을 활용한 직접경험 신체활동으로서 인간이 자연을 이해하는데 중요한 기능을 가지고 있으며 특히, 비현실적 여가활동이 대부분을 차지하고 있는 현대사회의 청소년들에게 올바른 인격을 형성시킬 수 있는 정서 교육적 가치가 높다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 해양스포츠가 생활체육이 가지고 있는 다양한 가치 이상의 긍정적 가치들을 내포하고 있으며 생활체육으로서의 충분한 가치가 있음을 의미한다고 할 수 있다.

This study explores the effects of rural migrant characteristics and conjugal communication on life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants. A total of 205 Korean baby boomers, who are living in rural areas in the year of 2013 that had migrated from cities back in 2003 with their families, were analyzed. Their age ranged from 49 to 57 years. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, t-test, and hierarchical regression analysis, with SPSS Win 20.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows: the reasons these baby boomers chose a rural lifestyle were 'for life after retirement,' 'because rural life is good,' 'for health reasons,' and 'for chosen profession.' The level of conjugal communication (M=3.69) and life satisfaction (M=3.23) were higher than average (M=3.0). The variables influencing life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants were 'increased property size,' 'better conjugal communication,' 'better health condition,' 'lower levels of money,' and 'length of time spent farming.' Furthermore, in terms of life satisfaction, the relative contributions of these variables are as follows: general characteristics 20%, rural migrant characteristics 10%, and the level of conjugal communication 6%. These results show that conjugal communication is a very important variable, as well as a rural migrant characteristic when it comes to life satisfaction of these baby boomers. Therefore, to improve life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants, support programs need to focus on both farming and conjugal relationships.

본 연구는 경제활동에 참여하는 은퇴 전 한국 베이비부머의 소비유형을 실증적으로 탐색하고, 유형별 소비가 우울에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 잠재프로파일분석을 이용하여 베이비부머의 소비를 분석한 결과, 기초생활중심형, 사회생활중심형, 주거생활중심형, 고급소비중심형의 4가지 유형이 구조화되었다. 이러한 소비유형과 우울은 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 증명되었는데, 특히 사회생활중심형 소비유형과 비교하여 기초생활중심형과 고급소비중심형의 우울수준이 유의하게 높았다. 또한 교육수준이 낮을수록, 배우자가 없는 경우, 주관적 건강상태가 나쁜 경우, 신체기능에 제한이 있을수록, 장애진단을 받을수록, 여가활동에 만족하지 않을수록, 소득이 낮은 경우, 주관적 경제상태가 부정적일 때 우울수준이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 한국 베이비부머를 위한 특화된 노후준비 정책과 프로그램의 개발 필요성을 제언한다.

Purpose: Self-efficacy encompass one's belief in one's ability to organize and achieve goals. Previous studies have not adequately examined the mediating role of self-efficacy between social support and health promotion behavior. Therefore, this study explored the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between social support and health promotion behavior among older women living alone. Methods: Participants were 145 older women living alone attending a local welfare center for seniors. They completed the Self-efficacy Scale, Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey Scale, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. Data were analyzed using Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, Baron and Kenny's regression analysis and the Sobel test with the SPSS program. Results: The average social support, health promotion behavior, and self-efficacy were not high. Self-efficacy was a partial mediating role in the relationship between social support and health promotion behavior. Social support was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.31, p<.001) and with health promotion behavior (r=.43, p<.001), and self-efficacy was positively related with health promotion behavior (r=.39, p<.001). Conclusion: To enhance health promotion behavior in older women who live alone, intervention strategies to increase social support and self-efficacy for these women should be developed.

Previous studies have shown that forest therapy program can help prevent dementia. However, few studies have focused on low-income elderly people living alone. The current study examined the meanings that the elderly living alone receiving medical care assigned to the urban forest therapy program, as a way to understand the pathways that nature-based intervention affect preventing dementia. Twenty-one participants were recruited and they participated in a five-week urban forest therapy program. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 21 participants who experienced the urban forest therapy program, and analyzed qualitative data using thematic analysis. Results showed that all themes identified were related to connectedness with oneself, neighbors and nature. Awarenesses of change were consisted of positive and negative themes. The themes of positive awareness were improvements of mental and emotional condition, feelings of isolation and loneliness, and health-related lifestyle. The negative themes were terminations of short-term programs and inconvenient access to the urban forest. Based on these data, we suggest an urban green welfare framework for future research and interventions for preventing dementia of underprivileged elderly group.
