노인 인구의 급증과 함께 노인성 치매 문제와 노인들을 위한 기능성 게임에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노인용 기능성 게임 개발을 위한 기초조사로서 치매에 대한 태도 유형과 그 특성을 Q 방법론과 설문조사를 통해 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 치매에 대한 태도는 방관하는 이상주의형, 도망가고 싶은 의무방어형, 적극적 현실주의형, 고생하신 어른에 대한 보은형의 네 유형으로 구분되었다. 각 유형 별 컴퓨터/ 인터넷 이용 빈도, 치매 관련 게임 이용 여부, 치매 예방용 기능성 게임 이용 의사 설문 조사한 결과, 방관하는 이상주의형과 적극적 현실주의형이 향후 치매 예방용 기능성 게임의 잠재적 사용자 집단이 될 것으로 예상되었다. 본 연구는 향후 기능성 게임뿐만 아니라 치매와 관련한 다양한 제도나 정책들이 제안될 때 기초자료로 활용할 수 있는 치매에 대한 태도와 각 유형별 특성을 탐색하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and educational needs for sexuality of the elderly. Method: This was a descriptive study, in which data were collected from February to April 2002 from 354 elderly who were residing in Chung-Chung province. Result: 1. The level of knowledge regarding sexuality was below average. 2. The level of the attitudes toward sexuality of the elderly was neither positive nor negative. 3. The educational needs of the elderly were above average. 4. Higher level of knowledge on sexuality was significantly correlated with more positive attitudes and education needs for sexuality, and more positive attitudes toward sexuality was significantly correlated with more educational needs for sexuality. Conclusion: Particularly men, with good health, and those who were in intimate relationships with their spouses and still engaged with active sexual life showed somewhat higher level of knowledge and positive attitudes as well as higher educational needs. Therefore, further development and applying of sexuality promotion programs for healthy elder couples should be considered in the future to enhance the quality of life of elder population. In addition, it is also suggested to develop an alternative intervention program on sexuality for elderly who are women, those with meager health, and the bereaved.

This study uses [the instrument of ageing anxiety] in order to find if a negative prejudice against the old affects the attitude toward sex of the aged. The result shows no significant relation between ageing anxiety and the knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged. However, it does show that the higher the ageing anxiety is, the lower the knowledge of sex and the more restrictive the attitude toward it. The knowledge of and attitude toward sex of the aged shows meaninggul changes after education. Nursing students who were educated come to have more knowledge about and are more open to it. This result supports the preposition of this study. As society grows older the endeavour to guarantee a high-quality life for the old is necessary and the old should be regarded as an entity which has its own characteristic desires. Especially for the old to enjoy a good life as a sexual being, the mystical barriers about sex and old age ought to be removed. In the future the old themselves may maintain sexual desires regardless of age and society will be required to correct its prejudice against the old having sex. Particularly nursing students, as an effort to provide the old with overall care, should examine the elderly's sexual desires in a physical, psychological, and social context and consider the normal sexual changes occuring during the aging process and finally integrate this information into their nursing plans. In order to fulfill this role successfully they should overcome their own prejudice and educate themselves about this particular problem. As the proportion of the old becomes bigger and the concern about the quality of their life grows, sex among the old will become more important in the nursing field. By putting an educational mediation programme into operation with nursing students and estimating the effect, this study supplies the foundation to activate new educational programmes. In short it tells us that education can be a practical method to confront the myth and conventions concerning sex among the aged.

Purpose In this paper, among the four information vulnerable groups(disabled, elderly, low-income, farmers and fishermen), the mediating effect of digital device usage attitudes in the effect of digital information utilization level of farmers and fishermen with a large digital information gap with the general public on life satisfaction was verified. Design/methodology/approach This study summarizes existing research related to the digital information gap between farmers and fishermen, and the empirical analysis is based on hierarchical regression analysis based on the 2022 Digital Information Gap Report (survey data on 2,200 farmers and fishermen) published by the Korea Intelligence Information Society Promotion Agency. Among the four major information vulnerable groups (the disabled, the elderly, low-income groups, and farmers and fishermen), attitudes toward using digital devices were examined in terms of the impact of the level of digital information use on life satisfaction among farmers and fishermen, who have a relatively large digital information gap with the general public. It was verified as a mediating effect. Findings As a result of the empirical analysis, attitudes toward the use of digital devices were found to play a mediating role in the impact of the level of digital information use on life satisfaction.

Purpose: This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of suicide prevention education using the "Life Charger" program for older adults. Methods: This study conducted the "Life Charger"suicide prevention education with 95 older adults in the experimental group. Participants were recruited from a senior welfare center and a senior citizen center in D metropolitan city, and their attitudes toward suicide and sense of competence in providing help before and after the education were investigated. While no measures were taken for the control group, their attitudes toward suicide and help-giving competence were surveyed during the same period. Statistics were analyzed using SPSS 23.0, demographic variables of the experimental and control groups were calculated as percentiles, and Chi-square analysis and paired-sample t-test were performed to verify the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups. Results: To verify the effectiveness of the "Life Charger"suicide prevention education, the effectiveness of attitude toward suicide before and after the education was verified. The experimental group showed a significantly higher level (t=-6.34, p<.000). Their competence in providing help was also at a significantly higher level (t=-10.20, p<.000). Upon verifying the effectiveness of the program, the experimental group's attitude toward suicide was found to be significantly higher; however, the control group showed no change in attitude toward suicide and competence in providing help. Conclusion: This study verified that the "Life Charger"suicide prevention education for older adults was effective in increasing attitudes toward suicide and sense of competence in providing help. To increase the effectiveness of suicide prevention education for older adults, follow-up research should determine whether there are any actual changes after the training, and attitudes toward suicide and help-providing competence should be increase d through universal and repetitive education to prevent suicide among older adults.

본 연구는 20대 이상 65세 미만 비노인층이 갖는 노인 이미지에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석 함으로써 향후 노인 이미지 향상을 위한 효과적인 전략을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 "2004년도 전국 노인생활실태 및 복지욕구조사"의 가구조사 자료를 활용하였으며, 20-64세의 7,767면을 분석대상으로 하였다. 노인의 건강, 정서, 지적능력과 경제력에 대한 이미지를 부정적 이미지와 긍정적 이미지로 양분하여 로짓 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 비노인층은 노인의 건강과 정서, 지적능력과 경제력에 대해 긍정적 이미지보다는 부정적 이미지를 갖고 있으며, 특히 청년층은 4가지 영역 중 노인의 건강에 대해 부정적 이미지를 강하게 갖고 있는 반면, 중 장년층은 경제력에 대해 부정적 이미지를 강하게 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 노인 이미지 영역별 결정요인을 분석한 결과, 응답자의 연령, 노인과의 동거여부, 노후에 대한 가치관, 거주지역 변수가 노인 이미지에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 노인과 거주하는 사람이 그리고 도시 지역에 거주하는 사람이 노인에 대해 부정적 이미지를 갖고 있으며, 또한 자녀와의 관계에서 정서적인 밀접성을 중요시하는 가치관을 가진 사람이 노인에 대해 긍정적 이미지를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과에 기초하여 향후 노인 이미지 향상을 위한 정책 방향을 제시하였다.
