  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate physical activity of elderly women at senior citizen centers and to identify factors influencing physical activity. Methods: The study was conducted from February 22 to April 20, 2013 for 200 elderly women at senior citizen centers in J City. Levels of physical activity, cognitive function, and nutritional status were measured. Results: The total physical activity amount was $2118.94{\pm}2.36$ MET-min. The average cognitive function score was $21.17{\pm}4.63$, and the average nutritional status score was $24.04{\pm}3.37$. There were significant relationships among physical activity, cognitive function, and nutritional status. In addition, there were significant differences of groups of physical activity by levels of cognitive function and nutritional status. Cognitive function, nutritional status, and age were significantly associated with level of physical activity in elderly women. Conclusion: The results showed many older women were doing moderate physical activity. Physical activity was associated with cognitive function and nutritive conditions. Integrated health promotion program needs to be implemented to increase physical activity level, the cognitive function, and nutritive conditions in elderly women.

  • 목적 : 광주 지역의 독거노인의 지역사회에 기반한 프로그램 안에서 사회적 상호작용 평가(Evaluation of Social Interaction; ESI)의 유용성 뿐 아니라 작업치료 중재 측정의 효율성을 검증하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 독거여성으로 치매예방 지역사회기반 프로그램에 참석한 대상자 중 본인이 사회적 상호작용이 부족하다고 인식한 대상자 6명을 모집하여 연구하였다. 작업치료중재과정모델은 이론적인 체계를 제공하였다. ESI로 사전 검사를 하였고, 5주간의 수공예와 원예 작업 중심의 프로그램을 제공했고 사후검사로 프로그램의 효율성을 측정하였다. 결과 : 지역사회를 기반으로 한 프로그램에 참여하는 동안 참여자의 사회기술 수행에 관련하여 치료사의 작업적 중재의 효과성을 ESI로 평가하였다. 그 결과 집단의 사전, 사후의 ESI 로짓(logit)점수는 의미 있는 차이를 보였다(t=-7.362, p=0.001). 결론 : 본 연구는 국내에서 일상의 작업을 하는 동안 사회기술 수행과 관련하여 중재의 효과를 검증한 ESI의 유용성을 제시한 첫 번째 연구이다. 앞으로 OTIPM을 기반으로 하여 치매예방 프로그램의 배경 안에서 작업치료를 계획하고 효율성에서 ESI를 적용할 수 있을 것이다.

The results of the study analyzed using a SAS, were as follows: 1) In physical fitness of physical health, there was a significant improvement in cardiopulmonary tolerance. back muscle strength. muscular tolerance and flexibility in the intervention group, compared to the control group, while no difference in grip strength and body fat proportion. The exercise program resulted in decreases in blood pressure, pulse, respiration and blood glucose within normal range and improvement of perceived physical health status in the intervention group. 2) There was a slight increase of mental health(depression score) in the intervention group compared to the control group. but without statistical significance. 3) There was a significant improvement in cognitive perception of exercise(e.g. usefulness and self -efficacy) in the intervention group, compared to the control group.

  • 고령화 사회로 진입된 현재 노인들의 응급상황에 대한 안전 보호 기능이 더욱 요구되고 있으나, 노인들이 거주하고 있는 주거설비나 시설들은 노인의 안전에 대한 특성을 배려하지 못하고 있으므로 각종 안전사고가 일어날 수 있다. 특히 현재, 홀로 거주하는 노인들이 집안 내부 중 폐쇄공간인 화장실과 욕실과 같은 공간에서 발생하는 응급상황에 대비할 수 있는 기능은 호출 버튼을 누르는 정도이나, 노인들의 경우 화장실과 욕실에서 미끄러짐과 넘어짐과 같은 응급 상황이 많이 발생하고 있고 특히 생명과 직결되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노인들이 거주하는 집안과 자주 이용하는 화장실에서 노인 안전 보호 기능을 강화할 수 있도록 다양한 센서를 통해 노인들의 움직임과 동작을 수집하고 수집된 노인들의 생활 패턴 정보에 대해 사례기반추론을 이용하여 실시간으로 상황을 인식하여 응급상황이 발생할 경우 신속하게 가족 혹은 친척이나 관련 기관에 전화를 걸어 대처할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다.
