Health education aims at behavior change rather than just delivering health knowledge to people. In Korea health education activities in public sector began in 1960 and they were included in the primary prevention program in communities. This article reviewed current health education programs in healthy living practice programs provided by local public health centers in Korea and drew implications for the future role of health education in community setting. Health education has been a core function of the National Health Promotion programs in the nation since the enactment of the National Health Promotion Law in 1995. The National Health Promotion programs are funded by the National Health Promotion Fund which are drawn from tobacco tax. The National Health Promotion programs include healthy living practice programs (smoking prevention and cessation programs, moderate alcohol use programs, physical activity promotion programs, and nutrition programs), chronic disease prevention programs, oral health programs and public hygiene programs. Methods of the National Health Promotion programs include health education, health counseling, health class, health information management, survey and research. Smoking prevention and cessation programs include smoking cessation clinic, smoking cessation education, non-smoking environment program, and non-smoking campaign. Moderate alcohol use programs include alcohol use education, moderate alcohol use campaign, alcohol use counseling, and alcohol free environment programs. Physical activity promotion programs include obesity control, targeted exercise program, and exercise civic group programs. Nutrition programs include nutrition management, obesity management, nutrition education, breakfast eating program, and nutrition counseling and treatment programs. The health education programs in community are not efficient today because there are many overlapping contents and short term goals. Community health education programs needs to be more comprehensive. Workforce development is another big issue at the moment because the National credential program will begin in 2009. Variety of community health education programs should be developed and funded by the national health promotion fund.

본 연구에서는 신체의 불편함을 가진 사람들의 사회참여를 제고시키기 위해 '공간적 포용성'여 장애와 공간적 포용성이 사회참여에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 거주하는 지역의 사회·공간적 환경은 신체적 제약으로 인해 활동반경이 좁고 복합적인 장벽에 직면하는 장애인에게 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 지역사회 내에서 장애인들이 비장애인들과 동등하게 관계를 형성하고 안전한 도시공간에서 기본적인 시설과 서비스로의 이용과 접근이 가능한 환경을 갖춘 것으로 장애인 관점의 공간적 포용성을 정의한다. 공간적 포용성은 개인의 관계망, 사회적 환경, 물리적 환경 등 세 가지 차원으로 구성되며, 물리적 환경은 거주 지역의 안전수준/자연환경/생활환경/대중교통 여건/의료서비스 여건 등을 포괄한다. 2019년 지역사회건강조사를 활용하여 장애 여부와 공간적 포용성에 따른 사회참여와의 관계를 2수준 다층회귀모형으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 개인 수준의 개인적 관계망과 지역 수준의 물리적 환경이 사회참여에 미치는 긍정적 영향을 확인하였다. 둘째, 물리적 환경을 5개 하위요인으로 파악하였을 때 개별요소의 유의한 영향 관계는 확인할 수 없었다. 셋째, 지역 수준에서 신뢰할 수 있고 친근한 사회적 환경은 사회참여에 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 분석 결과는 공간적 포용성이 장애인의 사회참여에 효과를 미치고 있음을 실증하고, 장애인의 사회참여 여건 마련 및 제고를 위한 도시계획 시사점을 제공한다.

The results of researching on duties of physical therapist, understanding of elderly diseases and policies related with elderly welfare came out from the survey before beginning of education to physical therapists who attended National Elderly Welfare Physical Therapist Workshop during Sep. 11th to 14th, 2007. They have already understood about long-term elderly care insurance from the policy, and responded that those policies will bring more advantage to elders. On contrary, negative response had reason of low service quality. About elderly care system, there were positive answer of appropriate alternatives to support them, but also other critics had opinion of inevitable choice for living conservation. About understanding of elderly diseases, there were more comprehension of diseases as age gets higher, but most did not understand dementia and paralysis. Past experience and process of medical treatment for their disease were such arthritis, paralysis, broken bone, and dislocation of joint. Prognosis of technical training was mostly answered positively, but linking with other related disease programs were not welcomed. Most respondents thought that professional training were needed. The results of understanding diseases during senescent had high percentage of understanding as age and education was high, and it had eye upon statistics of the survey (p < 0.05) Most of those questioned responded that it is appropriate to have six working days per week and eight hours of daily work, however, present wage is not reasonable. Most of those questioned had negative response of work independence, and had an-swered that there should be certificates needed in related fields. For difficulties during work period, they had hardship instituting direction of treatment by lack of program, level of wage, and physical difficulties. Physical therapists averagely wished to have fewer than thirty patients per therapist. After the research, physical therapists who work in those facilities of elderly care systems agreed on policies, though it should not lower service quality. In addition, they were pros to have elderly care system, yet they are still inevitable option to maintain living. For work environment, the period of work was appropriate, but had different opinions for work independence and regular number of patients. Therefore, there should be more organized treatment program that also should be linked to other practical programs at this beginning point of the policy enforcement and the time that many therapists hope to work in elderly care system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors increasing fall risk in the residential environment risk and the perceived fall risk among the older adults who received home care services to provide information for developing a comprehensive falls intervention program. Methods: The subjects were 227 community-dwelling elderly aged 65 years and over who were taken care of by home-visiting nurses of the national health centers. The data were collected from July to August in 2012 using the Choi's residential environmental risk scale (2010) and the Hong's fall risk scale (2011). Results: Requires an assistive devices to walk, modified residential environment, health security, approval certificate of LTC, residential safety perception, residential environment risk, and perception of fall risk were statistically significant risk factors. A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that room & kitchen, physical perception, medication & ADL perception, floor-related environmental perception, and daily living tool-related perception were statistically significant predictors of fall. Conclusion: The results showed that the residential environment and the perceived fall risk were associated with fall experiences among the elderly. It is necessary to develope multifactorial intervention programs considering both environmental and perceived risk factors as well as physical risk factors to reduce and prevent falls among the elderly.

본 연구는 노인이 거주하는 지역의 주거환경만족도가 노년기 우울 증상에 미치는 영향을 신체활동을 중심으로 분석하고, 노인을 둘러싼 환경이 우울에 영향을 미치는 메커니즘을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2017년 노인실태조사 자료를 활용하여 본인이 직접 설문에 응답하고, 주요 변수에 결측치가 없는 10,059명을 대상으로 주거환경만족도와 우울의 관련성에 대한 신체활동의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 연구방법은 Baron & Kenny 접근법을 적용하여, 세 단계의 로지스틱 회귀분석과 Sobel test를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 주거환경만족도가 높아질수록 우울 증상을 경험할 확률이 감소하였다. 둘째, 주거환경만족도가 높아질수록 노인들이 집 밖에서 신체활동에 참여할 확률이 증가하였다. 셋째, 주거환경만족도와 우울 간의 관계를 신체활동이 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 주거환경에 대한 만족도가 증가할수록 노인들의 신체활동 참여가 증가하고, 이에 따라 노인의 우울 수준이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 주거환경에 대한 주관적 만족도와 신체활동이 노년기 정신건강에 중요한 영향요인임을 설명하고, 정신건강증진을 위한 개입 전략과 Aging In Place를 실행하기 위한 실천적 관점을 제시하였다.

In 21st century, mankind greets an era of ubiquitous computing where physical and virtual space are merged through the innovation of digital and IT(Information Technology), meanwhile ubiquitous computing and network paradigm suggest a new direction which our future educational system should head for. A society where people, computers, and objects can be connected with each other anytime and anywhere, that is, a society of ubiquitous computing where everything in our living space are interconnected by a immense network system may bring a variety of changes into our educational environment in schools. In this study I analysed the forecast of school educational orientation and ubiquitous educational environment and facilities in developed countries, and on the basis of the result, I performed a fundamental work for formation of a ubiquitous classroom environment which is feasible in Korea. In the section of conclusion, I present a model of ubiquitous classroom as a scenario based on ubiquitous computing technology applicable to future classroom environment.
