The purpose of this study was to compare the health behaviors of North Korean refugee women according to their health cognition level. The tools were selected through focus group interviews of researchers and respondents to carry out the purpose of the study while being as brief as possible, and to secure content validity by the expert group. Based on this, the health cognition level was divided into three stages and organized into groups, and health behavior was composed of nutrition, exercise, and sleep as three factors to help actual behavior change. For data analysis, one-way ANOVA was used to compare health behaviors according to each health cognition level, and the following conclusions were obtained. First, there was a significant difference in nutrition and sleep of health behavior according to the level of physical health awareness, but there was no significant difference in exercise. Second, there were significant differences in nutrition, exercise, and sleep of health behavior according to psychological health cognitive level. Third, there was a significant difference in nutrition and sleep of health behavior according to social health cognitive level, and there was no significant difference in exercise.

As social problems related to the digital divide are increasing, the elderly are facing various problems as an information alienated group. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the ability to critically understand and accept information. In this study, using the 2020 media panel survey, the effects of digital literacy in the elderly on critical thinking disposition of information were analyzed, focusing on the moderating effect of need for cognition. As a results of the analysis, it was confirmed that the operational and the information skill had a positive effect on the critical thinking disposition of information. Also, as a result of analyzing the moderating effect of NFC(Need for Cognition), it was found that NFC strengthens the influence of operational skill and reduces the influence of information skill. This suggests that the digital literacy education for the elderly needs to change from strengthening accessibility to improving information judgment.

Purpose : This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of visiting cognitive activities using brain training on cognition, subjective memory complaints and depression among elderly participants residing in community living in Gwangmyeong city. Methods : Over a 14-month period (October 2022 to December 2023), four brain training instructors visited the homes of older adults and conducted the intervention using a brain training kit. The participants included 32 elderly individuals aged 65 years and older, who were living in Gwangmyeong city. The assessments were conducted by an occupational therapist, a nurse and a social worker at the Gwangmyeong dementia relief center. These assessments included the following the subjective memory complaints questionnaire (SMCQ), short geriatric depression scale-Korean (SGDS-K), a cognitive impairment screening test (CIST), the consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer's disease-Korean (CERAD-K). The participants were divided into three groups (A: 20-30 points, B: 10-19 points, C: 1-9 points) based on the CIST score. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and wilcoxon signed-rank test were performed using SPSS 24.0, and the statistical level was at a=.05. Results : The results of the intervention showed that the SMCQ score of group A improved significantly (p<.05), the CIST score of group B also improved significantly (p<.05). However, the SGDS-K score of group C improved, but did not demonstrate statistical significance (p=.080). Conclusion : The visiting cognitive activities using brain training produced significant effects on cognition, depression, and subjective memory disorders, depending on the cognitive level of the elderly participants. In the future, it will be necessary to demonstrate the effects according to cognitive level in various aspects with more elderly people.

Purpose: This investigation examined a model to predict body mass index in order to prevent later development of obesity among adolescents. The hypothesized model was developed based on the principle of Social Cognitive Theory that social influences predict perceptions of cognition as well as behavior. Method: The 5,770 adolescents, aged 14-18 who participated in this study came from 11 separate school districts in Busan and Kyungnam province of South Korea. The adolescent surveys were administered in a group setting at the participating school. Of the 5770 surveys, adolescents with more than 10 percent missing data in the entire survey were excluded. The final sample contained 4,527 cases. The adolescents were included 2,250 (49.7%) males and 2,277 (50.3%) females. Data was analyzed Pearson correlation coefficients using SPSS 12 program and structural equation model (SEM) using Maximum Likelihood estimation was employed using Amos 5.0. Results: Social support directly affects cognitive determinants. Cognitive determinants directly affect behavior determinants which directly affect BMI. Cognitive and behavioral factors mediated the relationship between social support and BMI (GFI= 0.984, CFI= 0.974, RMSEA=0.031). Conclusion: Social levels should be supportive to help adolescents have healthier behaviors. This support can be accomplished by providing frequent support to establish positive cognitive factors as the foundation of the solution to prevent overweight and obesity.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the reciprocal causal relationship between social activities and health with reference to the cognitive function level among community-dwelling older adults. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal data analysis using the $4^{th}$ (Time 1) and $5^{th}$ (Time 2) waves from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing adopting cross-lagged panel analysis (CLPA). Results: A total of 3,473 community-dwelling older adults were included in the analysis: 2,053 in the normal cognitive function group, 912 in the mild cognitive impairment group, and 508 in the moderate to severe cognitive impairment group. The CLPA revealed that higher levels of social activities at Time 1 significantly influenced better subjective health perception at Time 2 in all three groups. In addition, better subjective health perception at Time 1 significantly influenced higher levels of social activities at time 2 only in the normal cognitive function group. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that participating in social activities has positive effects on health regardless of the cognitive function level in community-dwelling older adults. This finding suggests that there is a need to develop strategies that can be used to encourage older adults with cognitive decline to maintain participation in social activities.

본 연구는 2008년에 도입된 사회복무제도가 정착 될 수 있도록 하기 위한 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다. 즉, 단순한 인력공급 차원이 아닌, 사회복무요원들의 질 향상을 위한 교육과 사회복지기관에서 사회복무요원에 대한 올바른 활용이 전제되어야 한다. 이에 사회복지기관 담당자(사회복지사) 304명을 대상으로 사회복무제도와 사회복무요원에 대한 인식과 태도가 어떠한지 조사한 결과, 사회복무제도에 대해 긍정적인 태도를 보였고, 제도가 지속적인 운영과 확대가 되길 희망하였다. 또한 사회복지사업에 사회복무요원의 역할과 활동에 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 그리고 사회복무제도의 성공적인 정착을 위해 사회복무요원의 배치전 사전교육과 직무교육 시간 증가와 관리운영에 관한 권한 강화, 운영비 지원을 필요로 하였다. 따라서 사회복무제도 운영 개선과 사회복무교육센터를 통한 교육내용의 강화, 우수 복무기관에 대한 다양한 인센티브 부여가 요구된다.
