본 연구의 목적은 노인의 우울과 삶의 질의 관계에서 걷기가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 탐색하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 제6기 2차년도(2014) 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 65세 이상 노인 1,263명을 대상으로 하여 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적 특성과 독립변수 및 조절변수에 따른 살의 질 차이를 확인하기 위해 t-test, ANOVA를 이용하여 분석하였으며, 연구결과 성별(t=8.26, p<.001), 나이(t=5.19, p<.001), 만성질환 수(F=37.88, p<.001), 우울(t=9.62, p<.001), 걷기(t=47.36, p<.001)에 따른 삶의 질의 차이가 나타났다. 걷기의 조절효과를 확인하기 위하여 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 연구결과 걷기는 우울이 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 있어서 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 걷기 수준이 높아질수록 우울이 삶의 질에 미치는 효과가 감소하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 연구결과를 토대로 우울한 노인의 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서 걷기의 증진이 필요함을 제언하는 바이다. 본 연구의 의의는 걷기의 조절효과를 밝힘으로써 삶의 질을 높이기 위한 프로그램 구성의 근거를 제시하였다는 점에 있다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare depression and quality of life between the Tae Yin In and So Yin In groups of the Sasangin constitution in Korean elderly women. Methods: A total of 203 (Tae Yin In=103, So Yin In=100) women aged over 65 yr, who were living in Seoul or Gyung-gi province, participated in the study. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $X^2$-test, independent t-test, ANOVA, and Scheffe test using SPSS PC+16 version. Results: Individuals in the So Yin In group had significantly worse depression than those in the Tae Yin In group. Those in the Tae Yin In group tended to have a better quality of life than those in the So Yin In group, but no significant difference was observed. Furthermore, individuals in the Tae Yin In and So Yin In groups all had low quality of life scores comparing with median value. Significant differences in depression and quality of life according to age and subjective health status were observed in the Tae Yin In group. In the So Yin In group, significant differences in quality of life according to education and subjective health status were observed. Conclusion: A concrete nursing intervention based on the Sasangin constitution for elderly women should be explored to decrease depression and improve quality of life. Additionally, the general characteristics of elderly women should be considered to develop an appropriate nursing intervention.

Purpose: This study investigated hand-washing practice among community-dwelling older adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and aimed to identify the impact of COVID-19-related concerns and depression on hand-washing practice. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of data extracted from the 2020 Community Health Survey. The primary data were collected through self-reporting from August 10 to September 8, 2020 in a cross-sectional study. The subjects comprised of 1,350 adults aged 65 or older living in Jeju Province who participated in the 2020 Community Health Survey. Results: The factors affecting hand-washing practice among older adults were male older adults (β = -.18, p < .001), age (β = -.07, p = .001), no education (β = -.20, p < .001) and elementary, middle, and high school graduation (β = -.15, p < .001) compared to a college or higher education, poor health perception (β = -.13, p < .001), COVID-19-related concerns (β = .08, p = .005), and depression (β = -.07, p = .001). To summarize, the factors negatively affecting hand-washing practice included male gender, lower education level, poor health perception, and depression. In contrast, factors positively associated with hand-washing practice included COVID-19-related concerns. Conclusion: These findings show the importance of considering these multifaceted determinants when designing targeted interventions and educational programs to promote hand-washing among older adults. Additionally, based on the relationship between hand-washing practice and COVID-19-related concerns and depression, interventions that can alleviate mental problems along with providing proper education are required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between oral health impact profile, depression and quality of life among community-dwelling elderly persons in South Korea. Methods: The design of this research was cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants were 266 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 and older. Data were collected from November 20 to December 20, 2011. The measurements for assessing the subjects' oral health, depression, quality of life were OHIP-14, GDS-SF and QOL. Data were collected using self-administered or interviewer-administered questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Results: The participants' mean age was 77.68, and 86.5% were female, 42.9% were living-alone elders. Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis found that oral health impact profile was significantly associated with depression (r=-.622, p<.001), QOL (r=-.400, p<.001), number of disease (r=.298, p<.001), age (r=.198, p=.002), education (r=-.149, p=.015), eating habit (r=.185, p=.003). The QOL was explained 54.7% by depression (${\beta}$=-.619), oral health impact profile (${\beta}$=-.127), number of benefited welfare service (${\beta}$=.235), perceived health (${\beta}$=-.327), eating habit (${\beta}$=-.094) using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Conclusion: These results indicate that the intervention program of oral health promotion for community-dwelling elders is needed from now on.

Purpose: This study was conducted to help with the development of an intervention program in efforts to prevent suicidal ideation and suicide. The study also sought to generate strategies for improving health conditions by ascertaining and analyzing potential factors that may influence suicidal ideation according to age group in adults. Methods: Data on general characteristics and suicidal ideation from 447 adults aged between 20 and 59 years, living in Y city, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, were collected based on a structured questionnaire, The data were analyzed using SPSS20.0 statistics program. Results: The results showed that 48.6% of young and older adults have experienced suicidal ideation while 44.5% of middle-aged adults have had suicidal thoughts. With regard to suicidal ideation, young and older adults revealed relevant differences in terms of gender, residential type, degree of stress and subjective physical and mental health, while middle-aged adults revealed relevant differences in terms of marital status and degree of stress. With regard to factors that influence suicidal ideation, it was found that the relevant variables of young and older adults included gender, residential type, depression, degree of stress, and subjective physical and mental health, while for middle-aged adults, relevant variables included marital status and degree of stress. Conclusion: These findings indicate that as stress and depression decreases, subjective physical and mental health improves. Therefore, this study proposes that developing and operating an intervention program can help prevent suicidal ideation in local residents.
