The purposes of this study were to : a) examine the current foodservice management practices of twenty-one seniors centers in charge of hoke-delivered meal programs, b) evaluate the attitudes of one hundred and ten recipients of meal service program, and c) provide feedback for the efficient and effective foodservice management for the elderly. Statistical data analysis was completed using the SAS package program for descriptive analysis, T-test, and ANOVA. The results of quantitative analysis indicated that the costs of meals, containers and special foods were mostly dependent on the support from local government(Seoul city). The centers where the volunteers were over seventy five p ercent of the workers were frtty-eight percent and sixty-seven percent of the subjects in food preparation and food delivery to the homebound clients, respectively. Meal preparation and food purchasing were mainly practiced by social welfare worker. Standardized recipes were not developed and meal preparation was controlled under the cook' and volunteers' experiences. The survey results of recipients who participated the home-delivered meals program showed that the mean of meal satisfaction score was rated over three point five in the five-point scale. There were significant differences between dependent variables(volunteer's kindness, plate waste, menu variety) and independent variables(sex, receiving periods and family type of the subjects).

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine an exercise program using a lay health leader for elderly participants. The test covered physical fitness (grip strength, static balance and complex movement abilities), depression, cognitive function and quality of life. Methods: A quasi- experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pre-post design was employed. The participants were 62 elders from an institution for the aged, of whom 30 were included in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. The exercise program using a resident volunteer as a lay health leader was run three times a week for 12 weeks. The collected data were analyzed by $x^2$ test, t-test, paired t-test, and ANCOVA with SPSS/WIN 19.0.

The objective of this study is to explore the situations and extension roles for rural elderly welfare program in North Dakota, USA. With a growing older population, aging has become an important issue for extension. Services for rural elderly available in North Dakota were adult day care, home health care, senior insurance counseling, nutrition and medication assistance programs, support groups, legal assistance, meals on wheels, nursing homes and more. With a growing older population, aging has become an important issue for extension. Extension provides programs and services for rural elderly. This study was conducted by literature review. First, many rural elderly Americans are actively engaged in volunteer work and have made substantial contributions to their communities. Second, extension educators from interdisciplinary areas should work together to develop programs. Extension programs can include intergenerational programs to help younger generations learn about the issue. Third, extension can collaborate with other agencies and groups to offer support groups. Offering educational programs is a key to empowering older people. Fourth, elderly residents may be the only increasing natural resource for volunteering in general, and for participation in community improvement in particular. Fifth, extension educators should be proactive in working with agencies to provide social access and in helping older people be actively engaged in their lives, especially in rural areas.

본 연구의 목적은 노인자원봉사활동이 노인의 지역사회 소속감과 지역사회 역량에 미치는 영향력을 검증하고, 이 관계에서 지역사회 소속감의 매개효과를 분석하는 것이다. 연구에서 활용된 자료는 한국노인종합복지관협회에서 2016년 보건복지부의 노인자원봉사 활성화 지원사업으로 수행하고 있는 우울·자살예방 노인전문자원봉사 지원 사업에 참가한 2,544명 중 사전·사후에 모두 응답한 1,416명이 분석 대상이다. 연구방법은 빈도 분석, 기술분석을 통해 조사대상자의 일반적 특성 및 주요변수의 특성을 살펴보았으며, 다중회귀분석으로 연구모형을 검증하고, Sobel test를 통해 지역사회 소속감의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 노인자원봉사활동 기간 동안 노인들의 지역사회 소속감과 지역사회 역량이 모두 유의미하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 노인 자원봉사활동 관련 변인과 지역사회 역량과의 관계에서 지역사회 소속감의 매개효과를 분석한 결과 본 사업 이전의 봉사활동 기간에서 완전 매개, 본 사업에 대한 봉사활동 전반적 만족도에 부분 매개를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 지역사회 소속감이 봉사활동을 통해 지역사회 역량에 미치는 매개효과를 파악하고 노인자원봉사활동이 지역사회를 통하여 소속감과 지역사회 역량을 강화할 수 있다는 이론적 함의와 프로그램 개발을 위한 실천적 방안을 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study was to compare the perceptions about hospice and the meaning of life between the participants and non-participants of the hospice volunteer education program. Method: Descriptive survey research design was used. Participants were 63, and the data collecting period was from October to December, 2006. Instrument developed by Jung-Hee Kim(1990) and Eun-Ja Lee(1998) was modified to measure the perceptions about hospice. To measure the meaning of life, P.I.L (Purpose In Life) instrument by Crumbaugh and Maholick(1969) was utilized. The data were analyzed using $X^2-test$, t-test and Pearson-Correlation Coefficient. Results: 1. The participants in the hospice volunteer education program demonstrated higher perception scores about hospice than the non-participants (t=5.193, p= .001). 2. The program participants also showed higher scores of the meaning of life than non-participants (t=3.084, p=.005). 3. The perception about hospice and the meaning of life had positive correlation (r= .46, p= .01). Conclusion: Therefore, hospice education program must be established in a continual and systematic way in order to standardize the hospice system in Korea.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify health problems and support received from the health and welfare service using MDS-HC(Minimun Data Set for Home Care) in the aged living at home. Method: Eighty-one elderly persons were selected from those listed in community-welfare service centers in Seoul and Kyunggi Province between December 2002 and January 2003. Result: Eleven health problems per elderly person on average were identified, and the frequent care needs were in order: preventive health measure, health promotion, visual function, depression & anxiety, communication disorders, social function, pain, environmental assessment, oral health, cognition and falls. The number of health problems by the level of ADL was ‘ADL 1(Independence)’ 9.87, ‘ADL 2(Partial independence)’ 12.78, ‘ADL 3(Dependence)’ 13.73. Utilization of formal health & welfare services among the elderly was ‘meals on wheels’ 40.7%, ‘home helper’ 38.2%, ‘visiting of social welfare worker’ 21.0%, ‘physical therapy’ 19.6%, ‘day care center’ 12.3%, ‘volunteer's service’ 9.9%, ‘home visiting care’ 3.7%, ‘occupational therapy’ 3.7%, and ‘speech therapy’ 2.5%.

본 연구는 노인과 지역사회 수요처가 노인일자리 사업 참여 및 이용 과정에서 어떠한 경험을 하며, 노인과 지역사회의 관계가 어떻게 변화하는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 C시의 4개 노인일자리 사업 참여 노인과 수요처를 대상으로 포커스 집단면접과 개별면접을 하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인은 일자리사업에서 소득 확보 이상으로 건강한 생활방식으로의 전환을 의미있게 보았다. 둘째, 노인은 헌신적 노력을 통해 건강과 자신감, 수입, 가족의 인정뿐만 아니라 지역사회에 대한 유대감과 기여의 보람을 얻었다. 셋째, 노인은 일자리 사업을 혜택인 동시에 기여인 '유급봉사'로 규정하였다. 넷째, 수요처는 초기에는 노인의 능력에 대한 의구심이 있었으나 기대이상의 품질에 만족하였고, 노인을 활동적이고 유능한 존재로 인식하게 되었다. 결론적으로 노인일자리 사업은 노인 개인뿐만 아니라 지역사회 복지에도 기여하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 연구 결과는 일자리사업에서 노인의 능력과 기여의지를 적극적으로 활용하기 위하여 체계적이고 지속적인 지원이 필요하다는 것을 보여준다.
