의학의 발전과 저출산 현상이 발생하면서 우리 사회는 고령화 시대로 접어들고 있다. 이에 따라 노년의 인구가 점차 증가하고 이는 점차 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 실버세대를 위한 여가 활동을 위한 필요성이 증가하고 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 실버세대들의 여가활동 유형을 분석해 보았다. 먼저 60세 이상의 연령에서는 TV 시청과 휴식 수면이 가장 높은 여가 활동유형으로 나타났으며, 컴퓨터의 사용에 대한 응답률이 낮지만, 인터넷에 익숙한 $40^{\sim}50$ 세대가 노인층으로 진입할 경우 그 응답률이 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 둘째, 이러한 $40^{\sim}50$대가 노인층으로 진입할 경우 이들을 위한 노인용 유망 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 예측해 보았다.

본 연구는 우리나라 고등학교 3학년생을 대상으로 체형 및 체중조절에 대한 인식을 조사하고 체중조절 관련 식행동에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 총 497명의 자료를 분석한 주요 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 대상자의 평균 BMI는 남학생 22.2, 여학생 20.5로 정상 범위였고, 남학생의 경우 여학생에 비해 과체중 (20.8%) 및 비만 (13.3%) 비율이 높았으며, 여학생은 남학생에 비해 저체중 (18.3%) 비율이 높았다. 2) 비만도에 따른 체형 인식에 유의적인 차이가 있었으며, 성별에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 자신을 '뚱뚱하다'고 인식하는 대상자 중 57.8%는 정상체중, 0.5%는 저체중이었으며, '말랐다'고 인식하는 대상자의 59.5%가 정상체중, 0.9%가 과체중, 0.9%가 비만으로, 상당수가 왜곡된 체형 인식을 가지고 있었다. 남학생의 경우 실제 체중보다 자신을 '말랐다'고 인식하였고 여학생의 경우 실제보다 자신을 '뚱뚱하다'고 인식하는 경향을 보였다. 3) 체중조절에 대한 관심을 조사한 결과, 남학생 (3.66) 보다 여학생 (4.20)이, 저체중 (3.67) 및 정상체중 (3.80) 보다 과체중 (4.35)과 비만 (4.67)인 학생의 체중조절에 대한 관심이 높았으며, 자신의 체형을 뚱뚱하다고 인식할수록 체중조절에 대한 관심이 높았다 (4.47). 4) 체중조절을 시도한 경험은 성별, BMI, 체형 인식에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 전체 대상자 중 61.5%가 체중 감소를, 12.8%가 체중증가를 시도한 경험이 있었고, 여학생은 남학생에 비해 체중감소 시도 경험자 비율이 높았으며, 자신을 '뚱뚱하다'고 인식하는 경우 '말랐다'고 인식하는 경우에 비해 체중감소 시도 경험자 비율이 높았다. 5) 체중조절을 처음 시도한 시기는 성별에 따라 유의적인 차이를 보였으나 (p < 0.05) BMI, 체형 인식에 따라서는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전체 대상자의 경우 고등학교 시기에 처음 체중조절을 시도한 비율 (71.3%)이 높았으며 중학생때 처음 체중조절을 시도한 비율은 남학생 (21.3%)보다 여 학생 (33.0%)에서 높았다. 6) 체중조절 향후 계획에 대해 조사한 결과, 성별, BMI, 체형 인식에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 전체적으로 대학 입학 전 체중조절을 하겠다 (73.0%)는 응답자가 많았으며 남학생 (59.7%)보다 여학생 (84.8%)에서 비율이 높았고, 과체중 (90.0%) 및 비만 (88.9%)에서 비율이 높았 으며 자신을 '뚱뚱하다' (90.6%)고 인식하는 대상자에서 비율이 높았다. 7) 체중조절을 하려는 이유에 대해서는 남학생은 '건강을 위해' (41.7%)라고 응답한 비율이 가장 높았고, 여학생의 경우 '멋진 외모를 위해서' (59.7%)로 응답한 비율이 높았다. 8) 체중조절 관련 식행동을 조사한 결과, 식행동 총 점수가 성별, 체중조절 시도 경험, 체형 인식에 따라 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 BMI에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 비만 (24.06) 및 과체중 (24.00)인 경우 정상체중 (21.92) 혹은 저체중 (21.52)에 비해 식행동 총점수가 높아 보다 바람직한 식행동을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같이 고등학교 3학년생의 경우 체형에 대한 왜곡이 심각하며 체중조절에 대한 관심이 높고 체중조절의 경험이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 대부분 대학 입학 전 체중조절을 계획하며 남학생은 건강상의 이유로, 여학생은 외모적인 이유로 체중조절을 원하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 체중에 대한 관심이 높은 시기의 고등학교 3학년생이 입시를 마치고 대학 진학하기 전 여유가 있는 시기를 이용하여 이들의 왜곡된 체형 및 건강에 대한 인식을 바로잡을 수 있도록 개별화된 영양교육을 시행함으로써 체중에 대해 올바른 인식을 가지도록 유도하고, 무분별한 체중조절이나 잘못된식행동이 초래되지 않도록 조기에 예방하여야 할 것이다.

Purpose: Self-efficacy encompass one's belief in one's ability to organize and achieve goals. Previous studies have not adequately examined the mediating role of self-efficacy between social support and health promotion behavior. Therefore, this study explored the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between social support and health promotion behavior among older women living alone. Methods: Participants were 145 older women living alone attending a local welfare center for seniors. They completed the Self-efficacy Scale, Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey Scale, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. Data were analyzed using Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, Baron and Kenny's regression analysis and the Sobel test with the SPSS program. Results: The average social support, health promotion behavior, and self-efficacy were not high. Self-efficacy was a partial mediating role in the relationship between social support and health promotion behavior. Social support was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=.31, p<.001) and with health promotion behavior (r=.43, p<.001), and self-efficacy was positively related with health promotion behavior (r=.39, p<.001). Conclusion: To enhance health promotion behavior in older women who live alone, intervention strategies to increase social support and self-efficacy for these women should be developed.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to develop quantitative usability evaluation criteria for senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot. Background: The Republic of Korea has become the most rapidly aging society, and is anticipated to enter the post-aged society in 2026. To raise the quality of life of a senior with limited mobility and to reduce the burden of caregivers, many high-tech assistive products with information technologies are developed nowadays. The senior-friendly autonomous transportation robot is one person robot vehicle to move a senior to the destination for hospitals, nursing homes or silver town complex. With built-in navigation system and environmental monitoring censors, it automatically seeks the path to the destination and avoids collision to obstacles and pedestrians on the way. Due to the early stage of the product, few usability studies in this field have been done, mostly on general service robots to assist seniors, power wheelchairs and delivery robots. ISO and KS standards for the service robots are focused on safety. Method: Based on the reference usability index, the early draft of the usability evaluation questionnaires was developed. After small group tests and interviews, the experts modified the initial draft to the Usability Evaluation Criteria for Senior-Friendly Autonomous Transportation Robot (UEC-SFATR). Result: UEC-SFATR consisted of 4 subscales - Safety, Controllability, Efficiency and Satisfaction. All of the 4 subscales of UEC-SFATR were passed the reliability criteria by 4 groups of seniors, divided by gender and familiarity of smart-devices. Conclusion: UEC-SFATR covers wider area of user experiences of the SFATR and is a good measurement tool to help both the users and developers of the robot. Application: This study provides guide to the future product development and product competitiveness evaluation by quantifying user experiences for the SFATR.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effectiveness of providing frailty prevention services by living support workers through a case of community resource connection centered on living support workers to revitalize frailty prevention programs for vulnerable elderly people. Methods: This is a research study using secondary data from a neighborhood health-sharing project among the integrated health promotion projects of one public health center in Daegu Metropolitan City. To assess frailty effects pre-assessments were conducted in August, and post-assessments were conducted in November. Frailty was measured using a 20-item frailty instrument used in home healthcare projects. Data were analyzed using the chi-square, independent t-test, and paired t-test. Results: Preliminary measurements showed that older elderly had higher frailty scores than younger elderly. However, among the elderly aged 75 or older the total frailty score decreased statistically significantly from 5.97 points to 5.30 points (t=3.03, p=.003). Conclusion: The older elderly showed greater effect of frailty prevention than the younger elderly.
