본 연구는 노인의 문자메시지와 SNS 활용역량이 비동거 자녀, 형제·자매 및 친인척, 친구, 이웃, 지인과의 접촉과 어떠한 관련성이 있는지 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 2017년 노인실태조사에 참여한 65세 이상 노인 8,392명으로, 노인의 문자메시지 받기와 보내기, SNS 활용역량을 기준으로 4집단으로 구분하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 노인이 문자메시지와 SNS를 모두 사용하는 능력을 보유하였을 때, 비공식적 사회관계망을 구성하는 모든 성원과 비대면 접촉(연락)이 가장 빈번하였다. 그러나 문자메시지와 SNS 활용역량은 친구, 이웃, 지인과의 대면접촉 빈도와 주로 유의한 관련성이 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 문자메시지와 SNS 활용역량이 가족 및 친구와의 정서적, 도구적 지원 교환에 핵심적인 역할을 하여 지역사회에서 거주하는 노인의 삶의 질에 기여할 가능성을 제시한다. 또한 비공식적 사회관계망 성원들과 관계를 지속하는데 정보화 교육이 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Minority populations in the United States have a higher prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and more persons die of the disease than white persons. This study was to review and compare risk factors and prevalence rates of NIDDM in African Americans, Hispanic s, Korean Americans and Native Americans in the United States. The risk factors of NIDDM, including family history of diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, diet and age, were reviewed in the minority populations. Risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity and family history of diabetes occurred to a greater extent in some minority populations than in the white population. Diabetes should be treated as a public health problem for minority populations. Due to the increase of older populations and the increased prevalence of obesity and sedentariness, NIDDM in minorities is nearing epidemic proportions. Good diet and regular exercise can reduce the incidence of NIDDM but an understanding of the cultural aspects of diabetes is imperative in order to provide adequate community health education programs because those programs involve diet and behavior changes, characteristics that are often culturally determined. In summary, it is important to plan a community health education program targeted on NIDDM in a culturally adapted manner that will be received with both comprehension and acceptability. In particular, the program for high-risk populations should be stressed so to prevent diabetes. Preventive approaches to diabetes should be considered because they can be both therapeutic and cost effective.
