Purpose. The elderly with UI experienced urine leakage for a long time. The prevalence of UI has increased and it makes costly. Particularly, the elderly were reluctant to visit a hospital or a clinic for the reasons of modesty and poverty. To solve this problem, incontinence intervention programs should be provided at the elderly welfare center. The purpose of this research was to develop Incontinence Intervention Program for the Elderly Women (IIPE) and evaluate in its effect. Methods. The study design was quasi-experimental with pre and post-test. The study was performed for ten weeks at one elderly welfare center, Seoul, Korea. The subjects were gathered through an official announcement and informed consent was obtained. IIPE, in this study, was consisted of diagnosis, education, exercise and evaluation. The study variables were PFM exercise adherence, pelvic muscle strength, Continence self-efficacy, geriatric depression and incontinence stress. The effects of the IIPE on PFM exercise adherence, pelvic muscle strength, Continence self-efficacy, geriatric depression and incontinence stress were also evaluated. Results. The mean age of the subjects was 75.2 years. The average attendance was 6.2 times. The IIPE improved PFM exercise adherence, intra-vaginal contraction power and CSE significantly. But it was not significant in incontinence stress and geriatric depression. Other important results were that the two-finger test and urine stream interruption were more useful for elderly women with rigid vaginas in teaching and evaluating. Conclusion. The Findings suggest that IIPE is effective to the community-residing elderly. Further investigation is needed on a long-term basis with control group.

노인복지관은 노인들의 다양한 복지 욕구에 따른 서비스를 제공하여 지역사회 노인복지 증진에 기여하고 있다. 고령화 및 베이비부머의 고령층 진입으로 인해 노인들은 동일한 욕구를 가진 단일한 집단이 아닌 다양성을 가진 집단으로 인식되고 있다. 따라서 수요자 관점에서 노인들이 복지관을 이용하는 요인을 파악하려는 노력이 필요하다. 도시지역 노인의 복지관 이용 요인을 확인한 결과, 성별, 나이, 학력, 직업, 경제상태, 사회계층, 친구 수, 사회활동 참여 수, 질환 수, 우울감이 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 남성보다 여성이, 나이가 많을수록, 고학력자가, 직업이 없는 노인이, 경제상태가 나쁜 노인이, 낮은 사회계층에 속하는 노인이, 친구가 많을수록, 참여하는 사회활동이 많을수록, 질환이 많을수록, 우울감이 높을수록 복지관을 이용할 확률이 높아졌다. 학력수준이 높은, 친구가 많은, 사회참여에 적극적인 노인들과 나이가 많은, 경제적으로 어려운, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인 등 이질적인 노인집단이 복지관을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인복지서비스의 질적 제고를 위한 정책적·실천적 제언을 하였다.

This study was conducted to examine elderly users' satisfaction with welfare services and the environments of the senior citizen centers in mid-sized and small cities in Korea. Three hundred and two elderly users were surveyed for this study. Age and gender differences in the level of satisfaction were found. The male elderly users and older users were more satisfied with the education programs than the female and younger users. The elderly people who reside in single-family residences were more satisfied with the educational programs and part-time job opportunities offered at the center than the elderly users who were living in apartment buildings. This could be explained by the fact that dwellers of single housing had more freedom and more room for self-regulation in scheduling their program participation, whereas the apartment building residents had rarely experienced social exchanges with their neighbors. There were significant differences in satisfaction with the environments of the centers by gender, marital status, age, level of education, religion, and housing type. The group differences were explained by the abundance of community activities that are centered around younger and female participants. Based on these findings, it is suggested that more specialized educational and social programs should be developed for the younger users in their early 60s, that co-ed religious activities and hobby programs should be expanded, and that the home-visiting welfare staff should regularly provide the elderly users the information on programs and activities.

이 연구는 2017년부터 고령사회에 진입한 우리나라의 국내 노인복지시설, 특히 경로당이 어떠한 서비스를 제공하고 있는지 알아보고 차후 발전 방향을 제시하였다. 발전 방향 제시를 위해서 독일, 스웨덴, 일본, 3곳의 사례를 조사하였고 12명의 고령층을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 진행하였다. 심층인터뷰와 사례조사에 따르면 첫째, 많은 프로그램으로 사람들이 많이 참여할 수 있도록 하는 것, 둘째, 경로당이 결코 나이가 많은 노인들만 이용하는 곳이 아니라는 분위기로 만들어야 한다는 것, 셋째, 노인들이 스스로 사회에 참여하고 자립할 수 있도록 프로그램을 제공하는 것이 중요하다. 현재 경로당은 지역별로 다른 프로그램을 적용하고 있어 어떤 방식으로 프로그램이 진행되는지 알지 못했다는 점이 이 연구의 한계점이다. 향후 연구에서는 국내의 경로당 사례를 조사하여 국내의 특성에 맞고 지역 차이 없이 공통으로 진행될 수 있는 프로그램의 구체적인 제안이 필요하다.
