As the nation is moving into the 21st century, the fundamental challenge facing local health departments in the United States is to improve the quality of peoples lives by preventing disease, injury, and disability through collaboration with public and private partners. During this century, life expectancy in the United States has increased remarkably from less than 50 years at the turn of the century to 79 years for woman and 72 years for men (CDC 1999; Bunker et al. 1994). Major portions of this gain can be attributed to advances in public health. (omitted)

본 연구에서는 장애문제와 노인문제를 동시에 경험하는 취약한 집단인 장애노인을 대상으로 9가지 일상생활만족도와 일상생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인에 성별차이가 있는지 살펴보았다. 이를 분석하기 위하여 '제1차 장애인고용패널조사(2008)' 중 만65세 장애노인 386명을 추출하였다. 연구질문을 확인하기 위한 분석방법은 독립표본티검정, 다중회귀분석방법을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 장애노인의 9가지 일상생활만족도 차원 중 6가지 차원이 성별차이가 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 장애노인의 일상생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인을 비교 분석한 결과, 여성 장애노인과 남성장애노인은 일상생활만족도 영향요인의 차이가 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 공통적으로 '사회경제적 지위: 하층', '건강상태: 나쁜 편', '만성질병 있음', '가족과 타인의 도움필요', '장애정도: 중증'이 일상생활만족도에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주는 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로부터 남녀장애노인에 대한 건강지원정책 및 프로그램을 제공, 장애인활동보조서비스 확대, 중증장애노인에 대한 보다 적극적인 정책 및 실천적으로 지원할 수 방안을 제언하였다. 반면에 차별영향 요인은 연령과 교육수준으로 분석되었다. 즉, 여성 장애노인은 연령이 높을수록 일상생활만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 남성 장애 노인은 교육수준이 무학일 경우보다 중졸과 고졸이상일수록 생활만족도가 높게 나타났다.

본 연구는 한국 소설에 재현된 다문화 사회 장애 남성상에 주목하여 소설적 재현이 갖는 한계와 가능성, 결혼 이민 여성과 한국 장애 남성의 결합이 갖는 의미를 규명해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 연구목적에 부합하는 다섯편의 한국소설을 분석하고 비판하였다. 그 결과, 결혼 이민 여성과 결합한 장애남성의 경우 장애로 인해 본능에만 충실하거나 사회적 제약을 받는 소수자로서 재현되고 있으며, 결혼 이민 여성에 대한 가해자나 조력자로 드러나고 있다. 이는 결혼 이민 여성과 장애 남성의 결합이 가져올 수 있는 현실적인 문제들과 소설 속에 재현된 '장애'와 '남성'이 갖는 의미망을 보여주고 있다는 점에서 가치를 갖는다. 그러나 이러한 정형화된 표현은 다문화 사회에서 장애 남성이나 결혼 이민 여성에 대한 왜곡된 이미지를 초래할 수 있다는 점에서 문제적이다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 다문화 장애인 가정의 문제들이 개선되어 나가고, 소설 창작 속에서도 결혼 이민 여성과 한국 장애 남성이 편향된 재현을 벗어나 현실에 뿌리내린 대등한 소통관계로 온전히 그려졌으면 한다.

Objectives : Polyneuropathies are diseases of multiple peripheral nerves. They are usually characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. It is generally regarded that the natural courses are poor, so we wanted to study the effects of Oriental medical treatment on a patient with polyneuropathy. Methods : We treated by conservative Oriental medical treatment a woman of 68 years who was diagnosed as a polyneuropathy and was hospitalized at Seoul Oriental Hospital, Kyungwon University, from 12th Mar. to 31st May, 2003. Changes of functional disability were checked by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), muscle atrophy was checked by measuring circumference of the thighs, calves, arms, and sensory impairment was checked by a sensory test. Results : 1. Functional disability caused by motor impairment was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment 2. Muscle atrophy was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment 3. Sensory impairment was reduced after the Oriental medical treatment Conclusion : We treated a patient who was diagnosed with polyneuropathy for over 80 days and recorded good effects of Oriental medical treatment on polyneuropathy.
