최근 사회는 의학의 발달과 원인으로 고령인구 비율이 높아지면서 인구의 고령화가 가속화 되고 있다. 하지만 고령인구 비율이 높아지는 것에 그치는 것이 아니라 노인 가구 구성 형태에도 많은 변화를 보여 독거노인이 늘어나면서 독거노인의 여러 가지 많은 사회적인 문제가 발생하고 있다. 한 예로 83세 독거노인이 사망한지 한달 만에 발견되는 등 심각한 수준에 이르렀다. 그리하여 국가적으로 조금이나마 독거노인 생활 확인 서비스를 시행하고 있지만, 현재는 많이 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 사회적 상황을 고려하여 ZigBee를 활용한 독거노인 모니터링 시스템을 구현한다. 또한, TinyOS가 탑재된 Moteiv사의 Tmote Sky 센서모트를 사용하여 IEEE 802.15.4 표준기반의 ZigBee 센서 네트워크로 구성하였으며 센서로부터 수신된 환경 정보 데이터를 DB에 저장하여 관리하고 웹페이지 또는 모바일을 통하여 현재 집안의 상태를 모니터링 할수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구는 구강건강을 중심으로 노인의 삶의 질에 관련된 요인을 찾아내어 향후 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 국가 정책 수립 평가에 기초자료로 제시하고자 한다. 연구 분석 자료는 2007년 7월부터 2009년 12월에 실시한 국민건강영양조사 4기 원시자료로부터 구강검진을 받은 만65세 이상 노인 3,882명의 자료를 활용하였으며 IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 잔존치아 수가 많을수록, 국소의치 및 총의치를 필요로 하지 않는 경우 삶의 질이 높았다. 따라서 보철물이 없는 치아 상실이 삶의 질에 크게 작용하므로 잔존치아 수를 증가시키는 노력과 함께 노인에게 치과 보철물 장착을 하여 구강건강을 회복시키는 것이 시급한 과제라고 생각된다.

Objective: Written information could be helpful for senior population to adhere to complex medication therapies, but must be well prepared and empirically assessed to achieve such end. We purposed to develop a drug information leaflet for senior citizens by applying 'performance-based user-testing.' Methods: We employed a user-testing, a mixed method to figure difficulties out with patients' leaflets from the user perspective. The cycle made of test and revision can be repeated as necessary. We recruited senior citizens with age of 65 or above who were taking antihypertensive medications at the point of participating and excluded the elderly who suffered illiteracy. We firstly rectified a drug information leaflet of antihypertensive medications for the general public distributed by the Korean authority based on focus group interviews (9 participants). The revised leaflets were tested four times with 8~12 participants in each round (40 seniors in total). We targeted to develop a leaflet which more than 80% of participants understood 10 key information. Main outcomes measures were to be able to find information and be able to understand information. This study was approved by the Yeungnam University Research Ethics Committee. Results: Focus group interviews identified difficulties with small font of words, professional language, long information, and a poor structure. The leaflet was revised and in the first round questionnaire found problems with 4/10 information points; interviews disclosed all but one (normal blood pressure range) were ill-understood. The second round questionnaire and interview found fewer problems but the comprehensiveness of participants was still poor in several points. For the third and fourth rounds we revised the leaflets in the individual-targeted manner. Finally, the fourth round showed all key information found and understood by at least 80% of participants except one question about drug name. Conclusion: The drug leaflets need to be developed in a personalized mode for the seniors. There was a limit for Korean seniors to understand nonproprietary name of their drugs because they used to producers' trade names which the Korean health system predominantly works with.

Purpose. This study was to suggest an appropriate understanding and attitude toward the long-term senior recuperation insurance through examining the perception of the aforementioned system from the viewpoint of the elderly population. Methods. This study was conducted on 150 participants who were aged 65 years and over in a nursing hospital, a senior citizen center and participating social welfare programs in Gyeong Gi area. Researchers visited a nursing hospital, a senior citizen center, and a senior welfare center to organize times before conducting questionnaires after interviewing individual elderly participants. Results. The results are as follows: The probability of the long-term senior recuperation insurance implementation is higher amongst the younger participants, those with average health status and where the system is recognized by neighbors, relatives and/or family. The largest group of participants show only a moderate interest in the long-term senior recuperation insurance. The attitude toward using the long-term senior recuperation insurance system in the future is undetermined due to lack of awareness. Conclusions. Although the long-term senior recuperation insurance system is for all citizens, it is important to provide the correct information to the target audience, the elderly, and raise the awareness of the system so that they have access to the necessary services.

평균수명의 증가 및 출산율의 저하와 함께 수반되는 급격한 인구고령화는 단기간에 우리나라의 경제 사회 문화 전 분야에 걸쳐 중대한 변화를 야기하고 있다. 단순히 노인의 비율이 늘어나는 것뿐만 아니라 평균수명이 계속해서 증가하여 많은 국민들이 장기간의 노후생활을 영위해야 하는 상황이다. 이와 같은 배경에서 노인들이 인간으로서의 존엄과 가치를 유지하면서 품위 있게 인생을 마무리할 수 있도록 노인복지 관련법제의 역할과 기능이 특별히 강조될 수밖에 없으며, 사회보험 및 공공부조와 기능적 연계성을 토대로 사회복지서비스를 목적으로 하는 노인복지법의 역할도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 노인복지법은 노인을 위한 사회복지서비스의 내용을 제시하고 있는데, 그중에서도 소득보장, 보건의료서비스, 요양 및 주거복지를 중심으로 하는 복지조치 그리고 일자리 등 사회참여지원 등을 핵심요소로 하며, 그와 같은 복지서비스의 유기적 결합을 통하여 노인이 살아가는데 적합한 생활조건을 실현할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위하여 노인복지법은 기초노령연금법과 노인장기요양보험법 등 관련법제와 밀접한 규범적 네트워크를 형성하면서 효율적인 노인복지시스템을 구축하게 된다. 그러나 우리 현행 노인복지법 및 관련법제는 21세기의 고령사회, 장수사회를 대비하는데 여전히 미흡하다고 하지 않을 수 없다. 노후소득보장과 다양하고 수준 높은 노인의 사회참여의 결합, 보건 의료와 요양의 효율적 연계 및 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 비용부담수준, 복지조치의 효과성 제고를 통한 품위 있고 존중받는 노인복지의 실현을 위해 더 많은 노인들을 포괄할 수 있는 다양하고 구체적인 개선방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

The senior welfare centers should provide integrated welfare services to the elderly whose needs are in change. So this paper tried to find a direction for improvement by identifying the spatial organization of the centers which are in Yeosu, Suncheon and Gwangyang. Classification of spaces of senior welfare center followed the guidelines 2020 for senior welfare center from Ministry of Health and Welfare which are consultation, medical rehabilitation, day or short-term protection, social education, home welfare, employment, welfare and public relations and PR planning and by adding management and public space. The above factors are invested and analyzed. The results of the survey and analysis of seven senior welfare centers are as follows. First, in the survey, the spatial organization of the senior welfare centers surveyed showed that the larger the size is, the dominantly lager the social education space is. Second, the space for day or short-term care, and employment is less than 1% of the total area, and most senior welfare centers do not have a basic space for this. Third, the space related to home welfare and counseling is very small, and more than half of the senior welfare centers do not have space related to it.

보건의료기본법은 보건의료에 관한 국민의 권리 의무와 국가 및 지방자치단체의 책임을 정하고 보건의료의 수요와 공급에 관한 기본적인 사항을 규정함으로써 보건의료의 발전과 국민의 보건 및 복지의 증진에 이바지하는 것을 목적으로 하는 법이다. 독거노인들을 위하여 생활 교육, 서비스 연계, 가사지원, 활동지원 등 노인돌봄서비스를 제공하도록 함으로써 노인의 복지증진에 기여할 필요가 있다.
