Same opinions among 4 urban areas were ; 1) Whom were willing to move into SCH for later life, most of them were in early 50s. Most of the respondents desired to be serviced community alarm system, preferred one-room style, size of 11∼15 Pyung, and preferred living at suburban area. The multi-family type was preferred when not being healthy and be singled, but if healthy, preferred the type of single detached house. And they preferred the home ownership, highly valued of heating control system, health care and leisure programs. Thus for the future SCH, it should be designed all facilities were equipped with sports facilities, sauna and leisure programs. The findings indicated that the high rates of supporting with professional management for 24 hours by turn. But different opinions among 4 urban areas were; 2) Willingness live in SCH for later life had little difference in level of income, education, property.

The purpose of this study is 1) to clarify that the house is no long the safe place through the cases of the senior safety accidents and to argue the need for housing repair and 2) to present the minimum standards for housing repair by comparing the cases here as well as the abroad and to back up the standards with the current senior housing environment 300 people at least 60 years old living in Seoul$\cdot$Metropolitan area were interviewed using the structured questionnaire. As the result, the following conclusions were made: 1. There was high accident rates of the senior residents due to physical deficits within the house, causing excessive medical cost and decreased housing satisfaction. This problem can be sufficiently prevented by housing repair which can not only solve the safety problem but also support self sufficient living for the senior residents. 2. Proper housing repair required the architectural know how as well as the expertise knowledge of the physical characteristics of the senior people. Therefore, it is essential to secure the professional (i.e., occupational therapist) who can analyze the needs of the senior residents and evaluate and/or predict the obstacles during repair. Furthermore, development and distribution of the standardized manual are also needed. 3. The minimum standard for housing repair could be approached in view of 'barrier-free' concept. First, the bumps should be removed, slippery prevented, and safety grab-bar installed for safety. Second, the entrance should be widened and the bathroom and kitchen restructured to support for the senior residents' self sufficiency. To make housing repair policy more efficient, the legal basis is required. It can be incorporated into the existing senior citizens 'Welfare Act' or the 'Senior Residents Medical Insurance' which will be effective starting in 2007.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between the use of senior center and health-related quality of life in Korean older adults. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to two types of older adults who lived in Busan, Korea: 154 older adults who used a senior center and 137 older adults who did not use a senior center. The Korean version of short-form 36-item health survey was administered to assess the health-related quality of life. Demographic variables were obtained from a questionnaire. These were gender, age, family status, marital status, education, monthly income, present illness, body mass index and physical activity. Results: The 8-domain scales of physical function and role-physical were significantly higher in the users of the senior center compared with the non-users (F=4.87, p=0.027 and F=7.02, p=0.009, respectively). The 8-domain scales of vitality was also significantly higher in the users of the senior center compared with the non-users (F=7.48, p=0.007). Conclusions: The present study showed that the users of the senior center have higher physical function, role-physical and vitality compared with the non-users. These findings suggest that although the results are unable to specify causal relationships using the senior center may lead to some improvement in health-related quality of life.

본 연구는 라디오 노인 대상 프로그램의 제작자들이 어떠한 인식을 가지고 노인 대상 프로그램을 제작하는 지를 고찰했다. 이를 위해 현재 노인 대상 라디오 프로그램 제작에 참여하고 있는 PD, 작가, 진행자를 심층 인터뷰했다. 연구결과, 첫째로, 제작자들은 노인대상 프로그램의 청취자들이 충직한 청취자 군을 형성하고 있다고 파악했다. 노인들은 프로그램 내용면에서는 건강, 정보, 노래 부르기를 선호하고, 진행자와 의사사회관계를 형성했다. 둘째, 방송사들은 이윤 획득이나 청취율보다는 공익 구현과 방송사의 이미지 제고를 위해 노인대상 프로그램을 편성했다. 노인 대상 프로그램은 모두 새벽 시간대에 편성되고 있다는 고정관념과는 달리 채널의 성격에 따라 오후 황금시간대 편성이 되기도 했다. 대상 시청자층은 60세 이상 노인에서 40대, 50대로 확대되는 경향이 나타났다. 셋째로 라디오 프로그램의 제작자의 역할에서는 진행자와 작가의 역할이 돋보였다. 진행자는 해당 프로그램을 상징하는 존재로서 청취자를 결집하는 구심점이 되었다. 작가는 장기간 집필하면서 프로그램의 명맥을 있는 역할을 하며 전문 작가 군을 형성하고 있다. 반면 PD는 방송사의 편성 방침에 따라 6개월-1년 단위로 교체되어 프로그램의 운영이나 내용 면에서 새로움과 변화를 가져오는 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다.

지금까지 우리나라는 다양한 인구정책을 펴고 있지만 인구 통계학적 결과에 따르면 급속히 고령화가 이어지고 있고 앞으로도 더 심화 될 것으로 예상된다. 또한 많은 노인들은 열악한 경제적인 여건과 체계적이지 못한 건강관리에 노출이 되어있고 대 부분 정신적인 질환과 만성질환에 항상 시달리고 있는 상태이다. 특히 기존에 도시의 노인들은 대가족 구조에서 소가족으로 바뀌면서 가족의 소외감과 혼자 거주하는 노인 인구가 늘어나면서 이에 따른 여러 가지 사회문제가 대두되고 있다. 현재 혼자 주거하는 노인들의 건강관리는 더욱 더 이루어지지 않고 있고 또한 신체적으로나 정신적으로 매우 빈약한 관리아래 있다고 볼 수 있다. 인간은 누구나 노년기를 거쳐야 되며 우리는 노년의 과정을 신체적으로나 정신적으로 건강하게 보내게 하는데 목적이 있다. 노인의 기본적인 연령이 늘어나면서 그에 따른 복지정책과 의료정책 등 여러 측면에서 고려하여야 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 65세 이상의 100명의 노인 인구를 대상으로 경제학적인 상황과 신체적인 건강 상태와 정신적인 건강상태를 살펴보았으며 특히 심각한 소외감과 고독감 그리고 정서적인 상황을 분석하여 보다 효과적으로 이를 해결하고자 최신 디지털 기술을 적용하기 위하여 일명 "도시형 시니어 멀티 케어존"이 실제 실효성이 있는지에 대하여 연구하였으며 이는 노인의 맞춤형 건강관리를 통하여 도움을 줄 수 있는 방향을 찾고자 연구하였다.

Purpose: To identify the perception and practices of kangaroo care in nurses and doctors working in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in Korea. Methods: One hundred forty-nine nurses and nineteen doctors working in the NICU from six university hospitals completed a survey questionnaire. Results: Most agreed that Kangaroo care promoted attachment and parental confidence as well as physical health of the infant. However, nurses and doctors showed a negative perception in providing kangaroo care for premature infants under 1,000 grams or within several hours after birth. Major barriers for kangaroo care were worrying about extubation and safety problems of premature infants. Married or senior nurses showed a more positive perception than others. Also nurses who worked in hospitals where kangaroo care was provided had a lower barrier perception than other nurses. Conclusion: Nurses and doctors working in NICU worried about adverse effects of kangaroo care even though they perceived positive effects. Standard education programs and manuals should be developed before dissemination of kangaroo care in Korea.

본 연구는 노인복지법 제5조에 근거하여 3년마다 실시되는 노인실태조사의 2014년 결과를 토대로 우리나라 노인을 연령규범 인식에 따라 유형화 하고, 각 유형별 특성을 파악하고 이들의 삶의 만족도와 희망활동에 대한 요구도 차이를 분석하였다. 현재의 노인은 과거 20~30년 전의 노인과 건강, 교육수준, 경제수준 등이 더 높으며 과거 노인을 대상으로 수립한 노인 관련 정책들은 이제 사회, 문화, 산업, 복지, 고용, 참여 등 융합적인 관점에서 재논의 되어야 하는 시점으로 본다. 본 연구에서 분석한 결과 우리나라 노인은 크게 체념형, 진취형, 체면형의 3개 유형으로 구분되었다. 이는 노인의 연령규범 인식에 따른 구분이며, 이에 따라 삶의 만족도 및 희망하는 활동에 대한 차이가 확인되었다. 향후 우리나라 노인 관련 정책은 기존 취약노인을 대상으로 하는 복지적 관점만이 아니라, 고용, 사회참여, 생활 만족, 자원봉사 등 다양하고 융합적인 관점에서 고려할 필요가 있으며 특히 노-노 케어 및 친분이 있는 소규모 노인 집단을 대상으로 정책을 접목하는 시도 등도 필요할 것으로 본다.
