Background: As the population rapidly ages, older adults are increasingly likely to experience mobility problems. This study aims to explore the characteristics related to an elderly person's willingness to live in a nursing home if they have mobility problems Methods: This study analyzed data from 9,917 older adults (5,976 young-old and 3,941 old-old) obtained from the 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans. The dependent variable was the intended place of residence for older adults with mobility problems. Independent variables included various characteristics: (1) sociodemographic and social support, (2) health and functional status, and (3) residential environment. Rao-Scott chi-square tests and survey logistic regression analyses were performed for the young-old and old-old, respectively. Results: The intention to live in a nursing home was significantly different between the young-old (30.4%) and the old-old (34.7%) (p=0.009). According to fully adjusted multivariable analyses, for the young-old, the odds ratio of intending to live in a nursing home was significantly higher in social security benefit recipients (1.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.97) compared to other individuals. The odds ratio was higher in unmarried (divorced, separated, widowed, or never-married) individuals for both young-old (1.41; 95% CI, 1.22-1.63) and old-old (1.34; 95% CI, 1.09-1.65) age groups, compared to their respective married counterparts. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that in an aging society, health and social policies should be designed considering the different characteristics of the elderly to improve their health, function, and quality of life.

본 연구의 목적은 노인이 사회적 입원으로 인해 요양병원에서 경험하는 삶의 변화 현상을 탐색하여 그 삶의 경험들 속에 내재되어 있는 본질적 의미와 구조를 파악하고자 하였다. 이에 따른 연구질문은 "요양병원에 입원한 노인의 사회적 입원으로 인한 삶의 변화의 의미와 본질은 무엇인가?"이다. 본 연구는 요양병원에 입원한 노인환자가 사회적 입원으로 인해 경험하게 되는 삶의 변화 현상과 그 의미의 본질을 밝히기 위해 현상학적 연구방법을 적용한 질적 연구이다. 본 연구 참여자는 A시와 B시에 있는 요양병원 입원 환자 중 65세 이상으로 연간 재원기간이 6개월 이상이고 인지기능의 장애가 없고 의사소통이 가능한자로 본 연구 참여에 동의한 노인 15명을 의도적 표집하였다. 자료수집은 개별적인 심층면담을 통해 2016년 4월부터 7월까지 실시하였으며, 자료분석은 Colaizzi(1978)의 현상학적 분석방법에 근거하였다. 본 연구에서 노인의 사회적 입원으로 인한 요양병원에서의 삶의 변화의 본질적 의미를 분석한 결과, 6개의 주제 모음과 19개의 주제가 도출되었다. 6개의 주제모음은 걱정거리가 해소됨, 새로운 관계형성, 환자인 듯 환자 같지 않은 병원생활, 심신이 편안해짐, 퇴원에 대한 두려움, 사회적 고립이었다. 이를 볼 때 요양병원에 사회적 입원을 한 노인의 삶은 의료적 욕구 해결보다는 그들이 안고 있는 사회적, 심리적 욕구 해소에 더 많은 의도를 가지고 입원 생활하는 현상을 나타냈다. 따라서 노인들이 주로 입원하고 있는 요양병원의 현실은 의료법에 근거한 요양병원과 노인장기요양보험법에 근거한 노인요양시설의 기능이 혼재되어 운영됨에 따라 고령사회를 앞둔 현 시점에서 이와 관련된 제도적 보완이나 정부의 지속적 모니터링과 함께 현실적인 문제해결을 위한 다각적인 대책마련이 필요함을 시사해 주었다.

Falls are a leading cause of injury, disability and death among people older than 65. Even without injury, falls cause a loss of confidence that results in reduced physical activity, increased dependency and social withdrawal. Fall prevention in the eldery people is a multifaced task that includes both the identification of risk factors and their modification strategies. Fall risk factors have been identified as both intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic factors are those related to the physical and cognitive function of the person. Extrinsic factors are those which are included in the environmental hazards of everyday life. Combinations of interventions aimed at modifying both intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors can result in significant fall prevention in the geriatric population. This article selectively reviews the literature reporting exercise intervention to improve strength, balance and mobility.
