  • The purpose of this study is to examine the preference for living with adult children of the baby-boomer generation and the elderly based on independent variables such as demographic characteristics, the values of their children and the consciousness for supporting their parents. The National Survey of Korean Families was done by the Ministry of Equality and Family in 2010. Respondents were 664 baby boomers and 628 elderly, and the results are as follows. First, the baby boomers rely heavily on their spouse, whereas the elderly rely heavily on their children. While both groups desire to live with their spouse in their later years, and the elderly rely the most on their children, they are reluctant to live together. This result shows that the elderly have high expectations for financial and emotional support from their children, but in reality, the elderly have lower expectations for living together and they prefer to live alone or with their spouse. Second, the boomers, who for the most part live in big cities, have comparatively high average monthly income and jobs and own a house, consider filial obligation as their own responsibility and yet tend to live independently. The boomers, who have a relatively high education level, consider living with aged parents as the children's obligation and consider their children as the most reliable people in their lives, and thus have high expectations to live together with their children. Third, the elderly, with a spouse, who consider having raised children to be their happiness, while considering providing financial support for the aging parents to be the children's responsibility, at the same time accept that the obligation of support lies on themselves, the government or the society, and thus have lower expectations of living with their children in later years. The elderly, now living with their family, with generous financial plans for their aging years and considering the children's success as their own success, have higher expectations of living together with their children.

  • 고령사회가 아니라도 노인복지 문제는 존재한다. 다만 고령사회에서의 노인복지는 양적측면에서 증가할 수밖에 없고 질적 측면에서도 복지내용이나 성격을 달리할 수밖에 없는 것이다. 특히 노인을 위한 소득보장제도는 수혜대상이나 급여수준이 제한적이어서 실질적인 도움을 주지 못하고 있다. 주택보장정책에서도 저소득층의 주택유지능력에 관계없이 주택공급에만 치중을 하고 있어 노인들이 주거생활을 영위하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 또한 전달체계가 연계되지 않으면서 여러 노인시설이나 인력에 대한 관리의 미흡 등 체계화되지 못한 부분이 산재되어 있다. 따라서 이제 우리나라의 현실적인 문제에 맞는 노인복지제도를 구축하기 위한 문제점을 분석하여 법제도적 대응방안이 필요하다.

  • This study of elderly in-patient subjects' expected level of care given by family members and nurses is intended to provide foundational information for use by nurses is attending to elderly patients. The objects of the study were elderly in-patients over the age of 65 hospitalized at two General hospitals in Chonju: 102 subjects filled out the 60 question survey between December 16 and 24. 1996. The analysis process was conducted using SPSS producing percentage. mean and standard deviation. maximum and minimum values. t-test, ANOVA. and so on. The results are as follows: 1. From the general results of the survey. one can observe that statistically significant differences appeared in various levels of education of the subjects: no education(2.98). primary school completed(2.91). middle school or higher completed(2.77). As shown. the lower level of education correlates with higher care-giving expectation. 2. On a scale of 1(minimum) to 4(maximum). the mean levels of care expected by elderly inpatients from their families is 2.93. with a standard deviation of 0.28. The level of psychological care expected(mean 3.02. standard deviation 0.31) is higher than the level of care expected(mean 2.83. standard deviation 0.34). 3. The level of care expected among those of different levels of dependency for daily living (differentiated as dependent. partially dependent. independent) was highest among the partially dependent(mean 2.98. standard deviation 0.17). but the results were not statistically significant. 4. Elderly in-patients with high levels of emotive interaction with their families expected relatively high levels of physical care. while the highest levels of socio-psychological care were expected from those who reported normal levels of emotive interaction with their families. However. We can see that low levels of care are expected from those reporting low levels of emotive interaction with their families. Overall. the differences in the level of care expected between those reporting different levels of emotive interaction with their families was not shown to be statistically significant.

  • 본 논문에서는 노인학대 발생요인에 대한 사회복지사의 의식구조에 관해 퍼지구조모델을 도출하고 이를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 최상층의 노인학대행위는 중간층의 노인에 대한 태도, 업무과중과 연결되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중간층의 노인에 대한 태도, 업무과중은 하층의 사회복지사의 성격, 클라이언트의 신체적 정신적 의존성, 클라이언트의 성격과 관련되는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 하층의 사회복지사의 성격, 노인에 대한 지식, 클라이언트의 성격, 클라이언트의 신체적 정신적 의존성은 중간층을 거치지 않고 최상층의 노인학대행위에 관여하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 업무과중과 노인에 대한 태도는 같은 중간층에 위치하지만 업무과중이 노인에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 사회복지사의 연령, 직업이미지, 교육, 처벌규정은 독립층으로 존재하여 노인학대행위 및 관련요인 간에 연관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구는 뇌졸중 후 노인의 우울정도를 확인하고, 수면의 질과 우울의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 뇌졸중 후 물리치료실을 내원하는 60세 이상의 노인 110명이며, 설문조사는 2020년 8월부터 11월까지 시행하였다. 자료분석은 기술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, multiple regression analysis를 이용하였다. 연구결과 참여대상자의 77.3%(85명)이 우울한 것으로 나타났으며, 일반적 특성에 따른 우울은 뇌졸중 마비측에 따라 차이를 보였다. 대상자의 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 수면의 질이었으며, 설명력은 27.8%로 뇌졸중 후 노인의 수면의 질은 우울에 주요한 영향요인임이 확인되었다. 따라서 뇌졸중 후 노인의 우울을 감소시키기 위해 수면의 질을 개선하기 위한 방안들이 마련되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to identify activities of daily living, depression and self-rated health and related factors for Korean Elderly. Methods: Data from the survey for the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging in 2010 were used. The data were analyzed using frequencies, weighted proportions, and hierarchical multiple logistic regression. Results: Significant difference was observed in health status induced by socioeconomic status between men and women, but not among age groups. Socioeconomic status was strongly associated with self-rated health among male and female elders. Being unschooled and low net family asset were significantly related with dependency in activities of daily living and depressive symptoms among men. Only low net family asset was significantly related with depressive symptoms among women. Family support provides a slight decrease to the negative relationship between socioeconomic status and health status, especially depressive symptoms. Conclusion: This study suggests that interventions to reduce health inequalities should target elderly with lower socioeconomic status and with poor family support, using a gender-specific approach.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate nutrients intakes and nutritional quality of Adults and Elderly People in an island area (Wando). A three-day dietary intakes survey, using a 24 hour recall method was obtained from 187 subjects aged 46 to 84 (mean age 65.3) living in an island area (Wando). Nutient intakes were analyzed using CAN-Pro soft program and compared to Korean RDA. The quality of nutrients was assessed by analyzing nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), mean adequacy ratio (MAR), and index of nutritional quality (INQ). The average daily mean energy intakes were 1869.0 kcal for males and 1943.9 kcal for females, respectively. Daily intakes of protein for males and females were 28.0 and 30.4 g and those of fat were 31.5 and 28.51 g, respectively. Nutrient consumed below $75\%$ of Korean RDA was protein, vitamin A, Ca and Zn in both males and females. Average CPF ratio of males and females were 78.8 : 6.0 : 15.1 and 80.0 : 6.4 13.4, respectively. Energy intake ratio from protein was significantly higher in over 60 years males. Carbohydrate dependency decreased with age. Protein dependency increased with age. Nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) of energy, protein vitamin A and vitamin E were increased with age in males. The mean adequacy ratio (MAR), an index of overall dietary quality, were not significantly different by age group. Average MAR for males and females was 0.77 and 0.78, respectively. The index of nutritional quality (INQ) showed the tendency to decrease with age. Especially, there were significantly decreases in INQ of all nutrients, except protein, with age. Based on these results, it is evident that people in the island area did not consume enough nutrients. Specially, dietary intake of protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, and Ca were not adequate.
