The purpose of this study was to examine how the relationship with grandparents and intergenerational integration program influences the children's attitudes toward elderly. Data for the study were collected from 132 elementary school students who attended the regional children's centers or social education centers that conduct intergenerational integration programs. The respondents reported positive attitudes toward elderly and perceived elderly as kind, likable, bright, clean and happy. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the variables that affect children's attitudes toward elderly. While frequency of contact with grandparents, perceptions about grandparents, and frequency of intergenerational integration programs had strong effects on the children's attitudes toward elderly, experience of living with grandparents, perceptions about the intergenerational integration programs, and helpfulness of the intergenerational integration programs did not show significant effects on children's attitudes toward elderly.

Korean-American and American adolescents' attitudes toward the elderly(OP Scale) and their perception on the generational difference(GN GAP) were compared to find whether there is a difference according to the race. Adolescents' perceived generational gap was considered to be one of the most influential factor affecting their attitudinal differences. Adolescents regardless of face showed a somewhat positive attitudes toward the elderly and they perceived generational gap a little positively. Adolescents' age and sex were found not to be related with their attitude toward the elderly and generational gap. For the Korean-Americans birth-order was negatively related to the generational gap perception. the quality of relationship with grandparents was the crucial factor influencing adolescents' perceptions on generational gap and their attitudes toward the elderly indirectly. Grandparents' health and age affected on the quality of relationship. Additionally adolescents' favorite g andparent was found to be maternal grandmother and their relation style and conflict areas were different according to the race.

The purpose of this study was to explore university students′ perceptions about the elderly before and after an introductory course for gerontology. Sixty-two male and female undergraduate students participated in the study as a part of the course requirement. Throughout the semester, theme students received a series of classroom lectures on gerontology, as well as participated in diverse activities to experience elderly lives. A survey was administered with the students at the beginning of the first day of class and at the end of the semester. By the end of the unit university students were more likely to have accurate conceptions of and positive attitudes toward aging and the aged. More specifically, they were more likely to (1) perceive "old" and "getting old" as a positive one, (2) seem older adults spend their time on active self-development and social activities, (3) view older adults are important, (4) change opinions about what an old person and young person do together, and (5) have a positive outlook on their own future lives as older adults.

Purpose: This study investigated awareness of dying well, as well as attitudes and preferences toward advance directives (ADs), among elderly individuals who lived alone. Methods: The participants were 173 elderly people living alone. Data were collected from July 2019 to September 2019 using questionnaires on perceptions of dying well, awareness of advance directives, and general characteristics. Results: The majority of participants (68.2%) stated that they had never heard of advance directives. The information they requested to include in their advance directives mostly involved decisions on pain treatment, such as the use of analgesic drugs in the final stages of a terminal disease. Perceptions of dying well were statistically significantly different according to age and education. Conclusion: This study discussed the attitudes and preferences of elderly living alone regarding advance directives to provide basic resources for the systematic and active use of advance directives.

본 연구는 노인복지시설 이용자의 인구학적 특성에 따른 노화에 대한 태도와 우울에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경기도 소재의 15곳의 기관에 280명의 시설이용 노인을 대상으로 하여 설문을 실시하였으며, 최종적으로 258명의 자료를 분석에 사용하였다. 측정도구는 노화에 대한 태도 척도, 치료자의 태도 척도, 우울의 척도를 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성별에 따른 노인복지시설 이용자의 노화에 대한 태도, 우울에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 최종학력에 따른 노인복지시설 이용자의 노화에 대한 태도, 우울에서는 최종학력이 높을수록 긍정적인 노화에 대한 태도와 우울을 나타냈다. 셋째, 노인복지시설 이용경험에 따른 노화에 대한 태도, 우울에서는 이용 경험이 있는 많은 노인들이 노화에 대한 신체적 변화에서 긍정적인 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 연구결과 노화에 대한 태도가 부정적이어서 꼭 우울하다고 판단할 수는 없으나 최종학력에서는 높은 관련성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 노인복지시설에서 근무하는 치료자들은 노인들을 치료, 케어함에 있어 최종학력이 낮을수록, 이용했던 시설의 수가 적을수록 노화에 대한 태도가 부정적일 수 있고 이는 곧 우울감을 높일 수 있는 요인이 될 수도 있음을 알아야 할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 온라인상에서 '노인'이 어떠한 표현들로 지칭되고 있는지, 해당 단어의 쓰임새는 어떠한지 살펴보는 것이다. 구체적으로, 노인 낙인이라는 이론적 개념에 근거하여, 노인에 대한 이미지와 태도, 혐오표현의 특성 등을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 익명의 대화가 오가는 소셜 빅데이터를 기반으로 텍스트 마이닝을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 확인한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 온라인상에서 공유되는 노인 이미지는 대체로 부정적인 것으로 확인됐다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 부정적 이미지로 인해 이들을 대하는 태도 역시 부정적인 경향이 높았다. 셋째, 본 연구를 통해 확인된 노인 관련 지칭어를 살펴보면, '노인네', '틀딱', '할머니', '꼰대', '늙은이', '할배' 등이 상위 빈도를 차지했다. 이 중, '틀딱', '꼰대'는 주로 노인을 부정적으로 평가하거나 비난하는 댓글에서 확인됐으며, 이러한 표현에는 청년들에게 짐만 되는 노인들을 향한 혐오와 차별의 의미가 담겨 있었다. 넷째, 온라인상에서의 노인 혐오표현은 노인을 주제로 한 콘텐츠가 아닌 정치/경제 관련 이슈에서 더 많이 발견되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 세대 간 이해를 높이는 방안에 대해 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study was designed to examine the relationship between nurses' characteristics and perception of seriousness of elder abuse. Method: A cross-sectional survey design was used to describe the perception of elder abuse by 301 nurses. Data were collected by convenience sampling. The research instruments utilized in this study were 12 scenarios adapted by Yoo & Kim from the 13 senarios to measure the perception of elder abuse developed by Moon and Williams (1993), a seven item questionnaires related to elder abuse law, and a Semantic Differential Scaling to measure attitudes toward elderly people. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. Results: The mean score for perceptions of elder abuse was 3.07. Among the types of abuse, sexual abuse was perceived as the most severe type of abuse followed by physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, and emotional abuse in that order. Education, job position, experience of gerontological nursing course, and education on elder abuse, exposure to elder abuse information, and attitudes toward elders were significantly related to the perception of seriousness on elder abuse. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that provision of elder abuse education is needed for nurses, to enable them to identify elder abuse and address their legal and professional responsibilities.
