The purpose of the study was to compare the satisfaction level on hospital meal size and actual intake rate of hospital foods between elderly and middle aged patients. Sixty one middle aged and one hundered thirty two elderly patients were surveyed on the foods served in the hospital-rice, soup, meat/fish, vegetable, kimchi and daily products. Compared to the middle aged patients, the more elderly thought the serving size of rice was too big(p<0.05), and those of soup, meat/fish and kimchi tended to be too big. There was no difference in the satisfaction level on the serving size of vegetable dish between two age groups. In actual intake rates of hospital meal there were no significant differences between the elderly and middle aged patients. However, the elderly male ate significantly(p<0.05) less amount of rice than the middle aged male and the elderly female ate significantly(p<0.01) less amount of meat/fish then the middle aged female.

Purpose: This study examined the relationships among menopausal symptom, self-efficacy, health promoting behaviors, and investigated factors affecting health promoting behaviors of teachers with middle-aged women experiencing menopause. Methods: From September to October 2012, a convenience sample of 252 subjects aged 40 to 60 years was recruited from 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools and 5 high schools. The data analysis was done by ANOVA and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Menopausal symptom of subjects was slightly lower than general middle aged women and the average level of health promoting behaviors was similar to general middle aged women. Health promoting behaviors were differentiated by severity of menopausal symptom, not by menstruation state. Menopausal symptom was negatively related to health promoting behaviors. The most significant factor affecting health promoting behaviors was self efficacy (14.3%). The combination of self efficacy, menopausal symptom, and elementary school teachers accounted for 20.1% of health promoting behavior. Conclusion: When developing health promotion program for teachers with middle-aged women, such program should consider self-efficacy, menopausal symptom, and school type.

저출산 및 인구 고령화가 가속화되면서, 중장년 퇴직자 등 노동 소외 계층의 취업난 해결은 우리 사회의 핵심 과제로 등장하고 있다. 온라인에는 수많은 일자리 요구 정보가 산재해 있으나, 이를 중장년 구직자에게 제대로 매칭시키지는 못하고 있다. 워크넷 취업 로그에 따르면 구직자가 선호하는 직종에 취업하는 경우는 약 24%에 불과하다. 그러므로, 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해서는 구직자에게 일자리 정보를 매칭시킬 때 선호하는 직종과 유사한 직종들을 추천하는 소프트 매칭 기법이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 중장년층에 특화된 소프트 직업 매칭 알고리즘과 서비스를 고안하고 개발하여 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 1) 대용량의 구직 활동 기록인 워크넷 로그로부터 중장년층의 일자리 특성 및 요구 추세를 분석하였다. 2) 중장년층의 일자리 추천을 위해 직종 유사도 기준으로 일자리 분류표(KOCM)를 재정렬하였다. 이 결과를 이용하여, 3) 중장년에 특화된 인력 고용 소프트 매칭 직업 추천 알고리즘(MOMA)을 개발하여 구인 구직 웹사이트에 적용하였다. 자체 저작한 중장년층 특화 일자리 분류표(KOCM)를 이용한 소프트 일자리 매칭 시스템의 정확도를 측정하였을 때, 실제 고용 결과 기준, 하드 매칭 대비 약 20여 배의 성능 향상을 보였다. 본 연구내용을 적용하여 개발한 중장년층 특화 구직 사이트는 중장년층의 구직 과정에서 입력 정보 부담을 최소화하고 소프트 매칭을 통해 사용자의 요구직종에 적합한 일자리를 정확하고 폭넓게 추천함으로 중장년층의 삶의 질 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
