이 연구는 독서 활동에 내재되어 있는 치료적 요인을 분석하여 노인의 특성에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 알아보고, 노인의 정서적 문제에 대한 치료와 예방으로서 제시한 독서 활동의 활용과 방향을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 독서 활동은 노인이 스스로 주도하여 내적 욕구를 충족시키고 창조적 활동의 의미를 부여하여 삶의 질을 높여줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 노인들의 내적 갈등과 감정, 욕구, 생각 등 의식의 깊은 부분을 표출하여 노인이 겪는 고통, 상처, 아픔을 드러내어 치유한다는 점에서도 의미 있는 행위가 될 것이다.

In the world, the old population is growing fast and many countries went into an advanced age society. Therefore the development of everyday products, electric appliances, and welfare services considering old people is more important than ever. In particular, the complexity of products can cause many problems for old people. Universal design is an approach to create environments and products that recognizes the diversity of users, regardless of their ability or age. Universality evaluation for a product is very important to verify old people's accessibility and usability for the product. Universality means how good a product was designed in view of universal design principles. In this study, UNIX, a method to evaluate the universality of a product was developed. UNIX was based on seven universal design principles; equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, size and space for approach and use. UNIX is a kind of expert evaluation and very simple method. The method is consisted of two steps. In the first step, relative weights for seven principles and subjective ratings on design suitability for each principle are obtained. In the second step, universality index (UNIX) of each product is obtained by weighted average multiplying relative weights and rating scores. As a case study, this method was applied for mouse designs. In conclusion, this method could be effectively applied to evaluate the universality of a product.

본 연구는 현재 방송되고 있는 TV 건강프로그램에 대한 노인들의 인식, 시청행태 및 만족도를 파악하여 건강행위 실천에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 2008년 3월 17일부터 3월 28일까지 경상북도 포항시에 거주하는 노인 293명을 대상으로 설문조사 하였으며, 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. TV 건강프로그램에 대한 최근 1개월간의 시청경험은 86.3%이었고, 학력, 비만도, 병력이 시청빈도에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 대상자의 건강행위 실천도는 62.1%가 높다고 하였고, 17.7%가 낮다고 하였다. 건강행위 실천확률에 유의하게 영향을 미치는 요인은 성별, 건강관심도, 시청경험이었으며, 남자가 여자보다 1.78배, 건강관심도가 있는 경우가 없는 경우보다 3.3배, 시청경험이 있는 경우가 없는 경우보다 6.1배 건강행위 실천도가 높았다. 노인들의 TV 건강프로그램에 대한 인식은 긍정적이었으며, 시청빈도가 높을수록 건강행위 실천이 높았다. 또한 노인들의 건강프로그램에 대한 높은 시청률은 건강프로그램 내의 정보에 노출될 기회가 많음을 의미한다. 따라서 TV 건강프로그램은 노인들의 요구에 충족할 수 있는 올바른 건강정보를 제공하도록 노력하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
