This study aimed to compare and evaluate nutritive conditions of the female elderly (2,893 people) based on a national health nutrition survey and health-related factors influencing nutritional intake. The results are as follows.- Average age of all subjects was $72.12{\pm}5.2$ old. BMI ($24.48{\pm}3.3kg/m^2$) and waist size ($83.9{\pm}9.5cm$) of urban elderly was larger ($23.74{\pm}3.3kg/m^2$, $82.28{\pm}9.9cm$) than that of rural elderly. MAR[4] and MAR[10] were also higher in urban elderly than rural elderly. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing poor nutrition of elderly subjects were increasing age, smoking, and self-rated health. Old-old and current smokers were associated with a higher likelihood of poor nutrition (OR 1.82, 95%CI 1.43~2.30) and (OR 3.40, 95%CI 2.17~5.33) elderly female subjects in urban areas. Smoking (OR 2.29, 95%CI 1.33~3.95), poor self-rated health (OR 1.55, 95%CI 1.11~2.16), over nine hours of sleep per nighting (OR 1.72, 95%CI 1.17~2.53) and stress (OR 1.46, 95%CI 1.10~1.92) of elderly female subjects in rural areas were associated with higher likelihood of a poor nutrition. In conclusion, rural elderly are more influenced by poor health practice behaviors (self-rated health, sleeping stress) and psychological factors. Nutrition status of the rural elderly is worse than that of the urban elderly. To reduce nutritional risk of Korean elderly, especially rural elderly, active nutrition arbitration should include psychological environmental factors.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라의 주요 수해지역인 강원도 지역의 노인을 대상으로 수해경험과 재해인식에 관한 조사를 실시하고, 이를 성별로 비교해 본 후 분석자료를 바탕으로 노인의 재해취약성을 극복할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 2006년 집중호우로 직간접적인 피해를 입은 강원도 인제군과 평창군의 거주하는 60세 이상 노인 183명을 대상으로 수해경험과 재해인식에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 성별에 따른 수해경험은 유의미한 차이가 없었으나 재해인식에는 차이가 있었다. 여성노인이 남성노인에 비해 재해재발인식수준이 높았지만 실제 재해발생에 대한 지식이나 대응능력은 남성노인보다 낮았다. 또한 학력이 낮고, 소득수준이 낮으며 무배우자의 혼자 사는 여성노인이 많이 이들을 재난취약집단으로 간주하고 성별을 고려하는 적합한 대응체제 마련이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationships of self-esteem, health status and self-care, and compare them between the rural and urban elderly. Method: The subjects were 126 persons with age over 65: rural(69 persons) and urban(57 persons). The data was collected from 1st Sep to 10th Oct, 2004 by questionnaires, and was analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Least Significant Difference and Pearson's correlation coefficient in the SPSS-Win 10.0. Results: The level of self-esteem, health status and self-care of the elderly in rural were lower than those of the elderly in urban. The higher group self-esteem in the rural elderly shows more health status and self-care than the lower group. Significant differences between two groups in the urban elderly were not found. Self-esteem, health status and self-care were positively correlated each other in the rural elderly. Significant correlations were found between self-esteem and health status, and between self-esteem and self-care in the rural elderly. Conclusion: Self-esteem forms the foundation of psychosocial health and provides a measure for the quality of life of the elderly in long term care. As nursing is in a unique position to promote self-esteem, the nurse can plan and provide nursing intervention with the consideration of characteristics of the rural and urban elderly to promote the self-esteem, health status and self-care of the elderly.

이 연구의 목적은 과학기술 시대 노인교육의 방향을 탐색하는 것이다. 연구목적 달성을 위한 연구내용은 첫째, 노인교육의 현황을 살펴보고, 둘째, 과학기술 시대 노인교육의 방향을 제시하는 것이다. 노인교육의 현황으로 노인교육은 계속 변화하고 발전하고 있으며, 노인들이 더 풍요로운 노후 생활을 즐길 수 있도록 다양한 프로그램과 활동이 제공되고 있다. 노인실태조사보고서를 보면 노인의 학습활동의 경우 전체 노인의 11.9%가 학습활동에 참여하고 있다. 노인교육 학습활동 참여자의 학습활동 실시 기관은 노인복지관이 35.5%로 가장 많았다. 과학기술 시대 노인교육의 방향으로 첫째, 노인 교육내용 구성의 경우 디지털 기술 및 정보 활용 교육이 필요하다. 둘째, 노인 교육 방법의 경우 맞춤형 노인교육 방법이 필요하다. 셋째, 노인교육 기관 운영의 경우 노인교육을 위한 전문 교육 센터를 더욱 강화하고 지원해야 한다. 국제사회는 노인인구의 증가로 인해 새로운 사회제도의 구축과 재정적 투자를 사회적 위기가 아닌 새로운 성장동력으로 삼자는 공감대가 이미 형성되고 있다. 고령 인구의 증가로 사회보장 영역의 부담이 있지만 노인의 잠재된 역량과 경험을 새롭게 인식하여 사회적 자원으로 환원할 수 있는 방향으로 전환하고 있다. 과학기술 시대의 노인교육은 미래 사회를 건강하고 발전적으로 건설해 갈 수 있는 방향으로 전환할 필요가 있다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate major factors influencing adoption of smartphone to promote its use by older adults. Background: Despite increasing proportion of elderly people and elderly market, the proportion of elderly smartphone user is still relatively small compared to whole smartphone users. Thus, we need to find out major factors influencing adoption of smartphone to increase proportion of elderly smartphone users. Method: Seven major factors were extracted from 36 survey questions using factor analysis. Regression analysis was also applied to determine specific factors affecting intention of use based on user versus non-user of smartphone, age, gender, and educational background. Results: As results of factor analysis and regression analysis, major factors influencing adoption of smartphone for elderly users were significantly different according to gender, age, educational background based on smartphone users or non-users. Conclusion: The result of this study identified major factors influencing adoption of smartphone for the elderly and provided basic information related to adoption of smartphone according to elderly people's characteristics. Consequently, we can expect to reduce the information gap and to improve quality of life for the elderly. Application: The development and marketing strategy could be applied differently based on the factors influencing adoption of smartphone. It is also possible to develop a prediction model for smartphone adoption according to elderly users' characteristics.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate student nurses' knowledge and attitude related to the elderly. Method: The data were collected from 519 student nurses studying in university by means of a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis by SPSS version 10. Results: The average score of the respondents' knowledge of the elderly was 12.02(${\pm}2.77$) out of 25. The average score of the respondents' attitude toward the elderly was 80.09(${\pm}11.69$) out of 140. There was a statistically significant difference in the respondents knowledge of the elderly depending on their degree of preference for giving nursing care to the elderly (F=7.534, p=.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the respondents attitude toward the elderly depending on their degree of preference for giving nursing care to the elderly (F=23.167, p=.000), possession of living grandparents (F=6.174, p=.002), and degree of interaction with elderly (t=5.661, p=.000). Student nurses' knowledge and attitude related to the elderly were significantly correlated. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop a program for continuous teaching and education that will help increase student nurses' knowledge of the elderly and thereby positively change their attitude toward the elderly.

As the proportion of the elderly population in rural area is growing rapidly, the quality of life of the rural elderly is becoming a major concern. According to Rowe and Kahn(1997), active and productive engagement in society is a central component of successful aging. Yet, the effect of various social support network on psychological well-being of the rural elderly is not well known. This study is an attempt to empirically examine the connection between social support network and psychological well-being of the rural elderly. For this purpose, community welfare specialists gathered data from 1033 rural elderly in 32 villages, using structured questionnaires. The statistical methods used for the data analysis were descriptive statistics, cross tables, ANOVA and hierarchical regression analysis using spss wins 10.0 program. The major findings of this study are as follows: The majority of rural elderly have social support networks composed of more than one person and the mean number of their social support network was ten persons. The elderly who keep frequent contact with many adult children and friend/neighbor are happier than the elderly who keep contact with fewer number of children and friends. The size of the network of relatives significantly affects the level of loneliness of the elderly. Theoretical and practical implications of this study for the improvement of the quality of life of the rural elderly is discussed.
