This study was designed to examine a 3-week modified constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to the less-affected arm of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) would improve function of the more-affected arm in PD. The subjects were 6 institutional older adults with PD and clients of the social welfare facilities. The subjects (2 men, 4 women) ranged in age from 66 to 90 years (mean age 77.2 yrs). Three clinical tests were used to determine the improvement of functional activity between before and after modified CIMT. The tests included Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT). There were significantly differences after the modified CIMT for time performance in WMFT and pinch in ARAT (p<.05), No significant difference was noted after the modified CIMT for UPDRS and functional ability scale in WMFT. Therefore, the modified CIMT might improve time performance and is available to therapeutic program helping them improve functional ability for upper extremity in Parkinson's disease.

This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of family support resources on family caregiver burden as it in turn affects psychological well-being among middle-aged working mothers. Through purposive sampling, the study recruited 325 married employed mothers age 40-50 years who live in Seoul and who have more than 1 child and living parents or parents-in-law. The investigation was performed April 1-30, 2018, with the participants sampled from companies, schools and religious organizations in Seoul. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 package. The results of this study were as follows: First, of all categories of caregiver burden, the score for burden of caring for elderly parents was 3.01 (SD = .81), slightly higher than the median of 3 points; childcare burden scored 3.16 (SD = .73), also higher than the median value; and family support resources scored 3.40 (.89), higher than the median of 3. Overall psychological well-being rated 3.25 (SD = .56). Second, health and educational level, the burdens of caring for elderly parents and childcare and family support resources were found to significantly affect psychological well-being. Third, family support resources, a moderating variable, were found to significantly moderate and ease the effect of childcare burden on middle-aged working mothers' psychological well-being. Furthermore, in the analysis of their moderating effect, family support resources were confirmed to positively affect psychological well-being by moderating childcare burden experienced by middle-aged working mothers.

본 연구는 COVID-19로 기술을 활용한 비대면 지역사회 돌봄서비스의 수요가 증가함에 따라 독거노인 돌봄에 있어 인간 중심의 IT 활용방안을 모색하기 위해 진행되었다. 전문가 대상 FGI를 통해 ICT 활용 돌봄서비스 현황, 전달체계의 문제, 윤리적 이슈를 확인하였다. IT를 활용한 서비스로 독거노인의 생활안전과 고독사 예방을 위한 보조기술인 '돌봄플러그'와 정서적 지지의 반려로봇이 활용되고 있었다. 전달체계 상의 문제로는 일상생활 지원을 위한 보조기술 활용에 대한 신뢰 부족, 공급자중심, 일률적 제공이라는 문제가 도출되었으며 대면서비스의 보조적 수단으로 활용되어야 하고 통제 가능하며 편이성이 담보되어야 할 필요성이 제시되었다. 인간중심의 IT 활용을 위한 윤리적 이슈로 '자기결정권의 보장', '사생활보호', '충분한 알권리의 보장', 그리고 '사각지대 포괄'의 이슈가 제시되었다. 연구 결과를 토대로 이용자 중심의 설계 필요성과 인간중심의 보조기술 활용을 위안 윤리지표의 필요성을 제시하였다.

일반적으로 베이비붐 세대는 국가의 사회, 경제적 발전에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있고, 이는 우리나라도 마찬가지로 경제성장에 있어 베이비붐 세대의 역할을 제외할 수 없다는 것을 의미한다. 우리나라 베이비붐 세대의 은퇴시기가 가까운 미래에 도래할 것이고, 이는 심각한 사회문제인 저출산 문제와 맞물려서 이들에 대한 노후 복지문제 또한 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 문제들을 대비하기 위한 많은 정책들을 개발하는데 있어 통계청에서 작성하는 장래인구추계와 평균수명 예측결과들은 가장 근본이 되는 자료일 것이다. 본 논문에서는 통계청에서 제공하는 우리나라 사망관련 자료 및 인구 자료를 검토하고, 통계청과 선행 연구결과에서 제시한 예측평균수명을 비교하여 평균수명 증가에 미치는 베이비붐 세대의 영향력을 분석하였다. 그리고 최근 연구에서 전망한 사망률을 바탕으로 미래의 인구를 제시하였고, 이와 더불어 베이비붐 세대의 인구규모 변화를 전망하였다. 연구 결과로서 통계청의 예측결과와 본 연구결과의 비교가 제시되었다.

This study is an experimental study that examines the policy attributes that local governments should choose to manage the quality of life of rural residents. The analysis data used raw materials for the survey of the welfare status of farmers and fishermen surveyed by the Rural Development Administration. The analysis method used Quantile Regression. The policy attributes of public services were interpreted on the basis of Peterson (1981)'s theory of policy types and the discussion of Holland (2015). According to the analysis results, the higher the quality of life, the greater the importance of the relationship between the safety sector and the neighbors. The effective policy attributes for improving quality of life in rural areas are the policies of local governments where policy benefits can directly go to individuals, or lead to social improvement. It shows that the higher the level of safety and the quality of life of our neighbors, the greater its importance.

본 연구는 노인가구의 가구소득 유형 및 가구 소득원들이 노인의 우울 및 자아존중감에 미치는 영향을 분석함에 주목한 연구로, 이를 통해 노인 정신건강 및 삶의 질 향상에는 가구소득 수준의 제고 뿐 아니라 가구소득 유형 및 소득원 구성에 대해서도 정책적 주목이 요청됨을 제기하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 연구문제 분석에는 소득원별 가구소득 및 개별 가구원의 정신건강에 대한 정보가 체계적으로 수집되어 있는 한국복지패널조사 8차년도 자료를 활용하였으며, 주요 분석결과들은 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 노인가구의 가구소득 유형에 대한 군집분석결과에서는 근로/사업/재산소득 의존형 35.7%, 사적이전소득 의존형 41.9%, 사회보험/수당소득 의존형 13.5%, 공공부조소득 의존형 8.8%로 나타나, 노인가구의 소득구성은 동질적이지 않고 내적 편차가 두드러짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 가구소득 유형의 차이에는 노인들의 개인 및 가구 특성이 주요하게 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 차이 검증 및 상관관계 분석 등의 이원변량 분석결과에서는 노인 우울 및 자아존중감이 가구소득 유형 및 소득원들과 유의미한 관련성을 지닌 것으로 분석되었고, 회귀분석모델을 적용하여 가구소득 유형 및 주요 소득원들의 실제적 영향을 분석한 결과에서는 특정 가구소득 유형(공공부조소득 의존형, 사적이전소득 의존형) 및 특정 소득원들(공공부조소득, 사적이전소득)이 노인의 정신건강에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 가구소득 유형 및 소득원들이 노인들에게서 중요한 심리사회적 의미를 지님을 보여주는 것으로, 이는 노후 삶의 질 제고 측면에서 노후소득보장체계 개선 시 적극 고려되어야 할 바임을 시사한다.

Purpose: This study examined the reciprocal relationships between depression and income, and gender differences in these relationships among older adults in South Korea. Methods: Using 2015 to 2019 of the Korea Welfare Panel Study (KoWePS), we studied 6,070 older adults (2,394 men and 3,676 women) aged 60 years over in 2015. The generalized estimating equation was employed to explore the effect of an individual income on depression and the reverse causal link-that of depression on income. Results: The study found the reciprocal relationships between income and depression. Income has a significant impact on depression. Higher-income was linked to decreased risks of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scores among older adults (B = - 0.121, p < 0.001). Estimates of the reverse causal link show that higher CES-D scores were also linked to income reduction among Korean older adults (B = - 0.007, p < 0.001). In addition, we also observed gender differences in the impact of income on depression but not in the reverse causal link. Income has more detrimental to psychological consequence for older men (B = - 0.108, p < 0.001) than older women (B = - 0.057, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The finding implies that both psychological and social protection policies for the elderly are needed in view of gender perspective.

Purpose: The purposes of this study was to analyze the effects of a health education program using problem-based learning on health related knowledge, behavior, and quality of life in elderly people. Methods: The participants included 44 elders, of whom 23 took the health education program and 21 did not. All participants were over 60 yr of age and were selected from residents of nursing homes or participants in activities of social welfare facilities in Jeju Province. Elders in both groups completed pre- and post-tests. Elders in the education group participated in 5 weekly sessions, 100-120 min/session of problem-based learning on health education. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 12.0. Results: Scores for health knowledge, health behavior, and quality of life for the education group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: A problem-based learning health education program can be recommended as a method to promote the health of the elders. Indirectly, the results seem to indicate that proper assessment and support should be provided simultaneously in the management of elders' health. Finally, future study is needed to examine whether problem-based learning is more helpful compared to traditional education.
