As a result of rapid aging speed in our society, many problems related to elderly people have happened in many parts of our society. Among them, supply for elderly housing is one of the biggest problems. In downtown areas, despite of the high demand for elderly housing, there is not enough supplement of them due to the lack of real estates. Considering the situations above, this study proposes multi generation complex which combining the school and elderly welfare facility. This combination not only brings financial benefits but also has positive effects on cultural exchanges between generations. This study concentrates on finding out effective ways to combine elderly welfare facilities with community schools.

Little is known about the impact of family caregiving for the demented elderly in Korea. The purpose of this study was to identify the current state of development of family caregiving research for the demented elderly in Korea and to identify correlates of caregiver or health problems and burdens within the socio-political contexts of Korea. A critical review of 17 family caregivers was carried out. The review revealed that various caregiving impacts and correlates of caregiver burden or health problems have been studied in relation to demented elderly family caregiving. Family caregiving for the demented elderly is a very complex phenomenon and various factors were related to caregiver burden, or their emotional and physical health. Findings from studies reviewed have shown inconsistent, inconclusive, and contradictory results. Furthermore, several conceptual and methodological problems were identified in the studies reviewed: restricted conceptualization, unrepresentative study samples, inadequate sample size, inappropriate study design, absence of comparison groups, inappropriate psychometric properties, and uncontrolled confounding factors. More research, as well as directions for further research, is recommended to identify family caregiving the impact of for the demented elderly, and to clarify the factors that explain results.

Korean society expects to be changing into aged society more rapidly than any other countries due to low birthrate and increase in life expectancy. Increasing number of elderly and social problems of aging society have provoked increase in research on elderly environment. Elderly housing facilities and living conditions are significantly related to the quality of life for older persons. The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze empirical studies on elderly physical environments in Korea, find out research streaming and understand social backgrounds and to suggest future research problems. For this study, contents analysis was conducted. Articles of four academic peer reviewed journals published from 1986 to 2005 were units of analysis. Using a keyword through library database systems, the articles were systematically selected. As results, trends of research according to 4 periods were defined. Among them as major trends, expansion of the quantity, expansion to interior design features for older persons, more facility types for dependent elderly(assisted living facilities, facilities for elderly with dementia, long term care facilities) have appeared. This result showed some directions and implications on elderly facility planning and development.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a basic data that may help develop health promotion programs by identifying health problems and perceived health status of the rural elderly. Method: The subjects of the study were 366 elders recruited from 24 villages located in Mari Myun, Geochang Gun, Korea. The sample was selected using a quota sampling method. The instruments used in the study included 117 items for health problems and 4 items for perceived health status. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, ANOVA and scheffe test using SPSS program. Results: 1) The most prevalent health problem was ailments in 'musculoskeletal system', followed by 'fatigue', 'eyes and ears', 'genitourinary system', 'mood & temper patterns', 'cardiovascular system', 'digestive system', 'nervous system', 'respiratory system' and 'skin'. 2) Womens health problems were more prevalent than men's health problems. 3) The mean score of perceived health status was 7.68. 4) Health problems of the rural elderly were significantly correlated with demographic variables such as education (F=9.532, p=0.000), gender (t=-4.246, p=0.000), marital status (t=-3.531, p=0.000), family type (F=5.742, p=0.00l), and occupation (t=3.356, p=0.001). 5) Perceived health status of the rural elderly was significantly correlated with demographic variables such as education (F=6.408, p=0.002), gender (t=2.949, p=0.003), marital status (t=0.802, p=0.034), family type (F=4.844, p=0.003), and occupation (t=-2.485, p=0.011). 6) Health problems of the rural elderly were significantly correlated with life style pattern variables such as drinking (F=5.223, p=0.006), smoking (F=4.087, p=0.007), salty food intake (F=3.424, p=0.034), greenish yellow vegetables intake (F=6.343, p=0.002) and fat food intake (F=5.327, p=0.005). 7) Perceived health status of the rural elderly was significantly correlated with life style pattern variables such as sleeping hours (F=3.966, p=0.020) and drinking (F=7.231. p=0.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that nurses need to understand health problems and perceived health status of the rural elderly and to develop health promotion programs for them in the future in the consideration of regional and environmental elements.

This study was conducted for the purpose of analyzing volunteer workers' perceptions of and attitudes toward the behavior problems of the elderly residents after caring for the residents voluntarily at low-income nursing homes. Eleven male and female volunteers ranging from age 19 to 52 were asked how they felt about the elderly residents' behavior problems and what kind of behavioral problems they had experienced after doing volunteer works in the three chosen facilities. In particular, they were expected to explain what emotional changes they experienced during their volunteer service. In this study, it was observed that most of the elderly subjects experienced three categories of behavior problems: habitual, repetitious and unreasonable activities caused by the elderly residents' life span backgrounds, unexpected and/or abrupt behaviors resulting from gradual cognitive impairments, and physiological, awkward activities caused from gradual senility. The volunteers tend to believe that the elderly residents are naturally expected to act positively, since they have been provided with well- planned, regular care services such as bathing, counseling, activity programs, and religious guidances. On the other hand, some respondents stated that their experiences at the nursing homes caused them to form negative images of the elderly; they feel that the elderly are not helpful for giving advices on critical decisions, guiding and encouraging their daily lives, and offering any positive influences toward their own lives. Rather, they find themselves getting too much stressed as a result of their intimate contacts with demented or senile residents. Overall, in this study, it is proposed that education for confronting sudden abrupt behavior problems should be intensified more for female volunteers, since they tend to be more susceptible to emotional harassment resulting from the problem behaviors. It is also proposed that young volunteers who have not been systematically trained for confronting aggressive behaviors need to be separately assigned their roles in order to minimize the potential of confronting unseemly situations resulting from male residents whose mental health has deteriorated. Furthermore, it is also suggested that the combination of leisure-related activities for healthy residents and stressful intimate services for the frail residents be systematically planned and implanted for the volunteer program so that the volunteers can lessen the chances of suddenly finding themselves confronted with extremely abrupt agitations.

우리나라는 경제발전, 출산율 저하, 보건의료의 발달로 65세 이상 노인 인구의 비율이 2018년 14% 고령사회, 2026년 20% 초고령사회로 예상되어 빠른 인구구조의 변화를 겪고 있다. 고령화에 따라 치매, 중풍 등 일상생활이 어려운 노인들의 수는 날로 증가하고, 핵가족화, 여성의 사회참여 증가 등으로 장기요양이 필요한 노인들을 가정에서 돌보는 것이 어려워졌다. 이에 정부는 이러한 사회적 구조 및 노인문제를 해결하기 위해 장기요양대상 노인의 삶의 질 향상과 가족부양 부담의 완화 등을 목적으로 노인장기요양보험법을 제정하여 시행하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 시설의 민영화와 난립으로 서비스의 공적 책임과 시설의 질 제고에 대한 요청이 확산되고 있는 부분을 살펴보고자 한다. 이 밖에도 저임금 요양인력의 양산, 재원조달 방식에 관한 문제 등의 대비가 다각도로 부족한 부분을 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 노인장기요양보험제도가 초고령화 사회를 대비하여 장기 지속적으로 유지 발전하기 위해서는 법 제도적 측면의 개선방안의 모색과 더불어 노인복지서비스가 신체적 건강 뿐만 아니라 노후 생활의 안정을 위한 정신적 심리적 조치를 강구하는 방안을 검토하고자 한다.

본 연구는 과제중심 모델을 재가노인을 위한 사례관리의 방법으로서 적용해보고 그 결과와 적용과정을 분석하며 효과성과 한계점을 조사한 것이다. 과제중심 모델은 3군데의 지역사회복지관에서 12명의 재가노인을 대상으로 실시하였으며 면접회수는 6회에서 10회까지였다. 12 사례에서 제시된 표적문제는 57개이며 표적문제를 해결하기 위하여 제시된 과제는 83개였다. 표적문제의 82.5%를 클라이언트들이 제시하였으며 과제제시는 약80%를 사회복지사들이 제시하였다. 그러나 과제수행에서는 37%를 클라이언트가 수행하도록 하였다. 문제의 변화는 평균 8.1로서 대부분의 문제들이 많이 좋아졌다고 평가되었다. 표적문제의 인식 자에 따른 문제 해결 정도는 내담자가 표적문제라고 인식하였을 때 가 사회복지사가 문제라고 인식한 경우보다 문제 해결이 더 많이 되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 보아 클라이언트가 인식한 문제를 표적문제로 하였을 때 문제해결이 훨씬 더 가능함을 알 수 있다. 과제 중심모델을 적용 과정을 분석한 결과에 의하면 모델의 적용을 통하며 재가 노인들의 요구를 파악하고 문제 해결에 대한 노인들의 적극적인 참여를 유도 할 수 있었으며 잠재된 능력을 발견하는 기회가 되기도 하였다. 재가노인을 위한 사례관리의 방법으로서 과제 중심 모델을 적용할 때 다음과 같은 것을 제안 할 수 있다. 첫째 처음 접수를 받는 클라이언트를 대상으로 적용하는 것이 효과적이며 둘째는 정기적인 슈퍼비젼을 통하며 진행을 점검하는 것이 중요하고 문제 해결을 위한 다양한 과제나 가능한 사회 자원에 대한 목록을 만드는 것이 필요하다.
