노인범죄자는 오랫동안 형사사법절차에서 노인범죄자들은 그 수적인 열세로 인하여 형사사법정책의 중심에서 간과되어 왔다. 그러나 한국사회에서 급속한 고령화와 사회변화의 복잡화는 많은 노인범죄자들을 양산하게 되었다. 따라서 더 이상 기존의 형사사법정책으로는 증가되는 노인범죄에 대처하는데 다양한 한계를 보이게 되었으며, 노인범죄의 재범률을 낮추는데 새로운 형사사법정책이 필요하게 되었다. 그런 맥락의 차원에서 노인범죄자들에 대한 적절한 사법처우를 위한 바람직한 방안들을 내포하는 노인범죄자 지향적인 형사사법정책을 본 논문에서 주장하게 되었다. 구체적으로는 본 논문에서는 노인전담경찰제도, 노인범죄자들에 맞는 원격화상재판, 노인전담 교정시설 등 새로운 발전방안들을 기술하고 있으며, 결론에서는 노인범죄자들에 대한 형사사법절차에서 사법복지의 패러다임과 그 실천방안들을 나타내고 있다.

목적 :본 연구는 체계적 고찰을 통해 노인들의 시간사용 실태 조사에 사용된 자료에서 제시되고 있는 작업 영역이 무엇인지 알아보고 작업영역 별로 노인들의 시간사용량을 분석하고자 하였다.연구방법 :전자 데이터베이스인 Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, KISS, NDSL, KMbase, RISS를 사용하여 2001년부터 2016년까지의 논문을 검색하였다. 주요 검색 용어로 “elderly” OR “older adult” OR “senior” AND “time use” OR “use of time” OR “time allocation” OR “time usage” OR “time management”를 사용하였다. 최종적으로 포함기준에 적합한 11개의 논문을 분석대상으로 선 정하였다.결과 :11개의 논문을 분석한 결과, 모든 시간사용 측정도구들은 일상생활활동(Activities of Daily Living; ADL)과 여가를 측정하였지만 Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF)에 의한 작업영역 8가지를 모두 평가한 도구는 없었다. 휴식 및 수면을 제외하고 노인들은 수단적 일상생활활동 (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living; IADL)과 여가에 가장 많이 참여하였다. 또한 국내 노인들은 국외 노인들에 비해 여가시간이 적었으며 무급노동일을 하며 보내는 시간이 많았다.결론 :노인들은 주로 집에서 정적인 활동을 하며 하루를 보냈다. 따라서 작업치료사들은 노인들에게 다양 한 신체적 활동 프로그램과 사회참여 활동의 기회를 제공해야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 작업치료에서 사용 하고 있는 작업영역 개념을 사용하여 활동들을 분류한 후 시간사용량을 분석하였기 때문에 노인의 시간 사용을 이해하는데 있어 작업치료사에게 유용한 근거 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 압화와 꽃장식의 친근한 활동과 다양한 방법의 그룹 활동을 통한 원예치료 프로그램이 요양병원 노인의 생활만족도와 대인관계 향상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 원예치료 실시장소는 부산광역시 동래구 낙민동 소재의 G 요양병원 내의 강당이었다. 실시 기간은 2015년 9월 4일 부터 10월 30일까지 매주 월요일, 금요일 주 2회 총 15회 실행하였다. 원예치료 실시 시간은 10시 30분 부터 11시 20분까지 회당 50분간 진행하였다. 대조군의 경우, 노인 생활만족도의 원예치료 사전 ‧ 사후 비교 결과, 하위 항목 중 현재생활만족도, 미래생활만족도 모두 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타 났다. 실험군의 경우, 노인생활만족도의 긍정이 3.5에서 5.1로 향상되었고(p>0.003) 부정은 7.8에서 3.3 으로 감소하여 생활만족도가 고도로 유의하게 개선(p>0.000***)된 것으로 나타났다. 대조군의 대인관계 평과 결과, 집단 내 대인관계 면에서 긍정이 3.2에서 4.2로 유의차를 보였고 그 외는 모두 유의차가 없 는 것으로 나타났다. 실험군의 대인관계척도 평가 결과, 의사 소통의 경우 긍정이 3.8에서 6.2로 증가하 여 유의한 차이(p>0.020)를 나타내었다. 부정은 4.6에서 2.8로 감소하여 0.038의 유의한 차이를 보였다. 일상생활 대인관계에서 긍정은 2.4에서 3.8로 증가하였으나 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 부정은 4.8에 서 1.8로 많이 낮아져 대인관계에 유의하게 개선(p>0.001)된 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 압 화와 꽃장식의 협동 프로그램은 요양병원 입소 노인들의 생활 만족도와 대인관계 향상에 효과적인 것으 로 판단되었다.

한국은 저출산 현상과 평균수명의 증가로 고령화가 빨리 진행되고 있으며 이는 여러 가지 노인문제를 야기하고 있다. 노인들에게 발생하는 문제는 건강, 빈곤, 고독, 무력감 등이며 여러 가지 요소들이 결합되어 복합적으로 나타난다는 점과 다시 회복할 수 있는 방법과 시간이 부족하다는 점에서 해결이 어려운 문제이기도 하다. 본 논문에서는 문학 작품에 나타난 노인문제를 추출하여 분석하였다. 소설에 언급된 노인 문제는 경제 능력의 상실과 고립감, 독거노인의 빈곤과 고독사, 숨기려고 하지만 엄연히 존재하는 노인의 성문제 등이다. 노인문제는 노인의 사회적 역할이 감소하고 국가적 재원의 한계 등으로 인해 해결에 소극적인 면이 있지만 누구나 노인이 된다는 점에서 우리 모두의 문제인 것이다.

본 연구는 길 찾는 능력과 거리를 인식하는 능력이 떨어지고 많은 주의력에 어려움을 느끼는 노인을 위해 간헐적인 주의 집중만으로 보행 안내를 받을 수 있는 손목에 착용하는 보행 보조 장치를 개발하기 위해 기존의 촉각 기술을 활용한 보행 보조 기술에서 시각 정보를 활용할 수 있도록 촉각 정보에 병행하는 시각 정보인 화면 UI에 초점을 맞추었다. 기술 수요자인 65세 이상 노인 30명에게 스마트워치를 착용시키고 Wizard of Oz로 네 가지 화면 UI로 길을 찾아가도록 지시한 후 각 화면 UI에 대한 평가 및 사후 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 선호도 순위, 경로를 이탈한 사람의 수, 경로 이탈 횟수에 대해 정량적 분석을 실시하고, 사후 인터뷰를 통해 수집된 사용 경험에 근거해 새로운 이해를 얻고자 질적 연구 방법론인 grounded theory로 정성적 분석을 진행하였으며, 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 모순적인 요구사 항을 가진 노인의 손목시계형 보행 보조 장치 개발 및 후속 연구를 위한 시사점을 도출하였다.

Chewing and swallowing disorders such as dysphagia are common in the elderly people whose number is reported to continuously increase throughout the world. With this trend, the aging populations have recently become the global focus of substantial research interest in a variety of industrial fields and the food industry is also no exception. Further studies are also necessary to establish the guidelines or criteria for controlling the food texture for the elderly with different living and cultural backgrounds. An experimental attempt was made to bridge the gap between instrumental and sensory texture in a model solid food system, providing a reference texture range for the elderly diets. For doing so, uniaxial compression was applied to measure the instrumental hardness of corn starch gels that was correlated with their sensory properties perceived by the elderly aged 60 and older. A polynomial trend line was satisfactorily obtained with the formula (y=0.2188x2-5.7917x+38.14) describing the relationship between instrumental hardness and starch concentration. When the instrumental hardness (stress) was correlated with the sensory hardness, a linear correlation was observed with a coefficient of determination (R2=0.879). However, the use of logarithmic transformation exhibited the improved correlation of coefficients. A fairly linear correlation (R2>0.96) was thus observed between the instrumental and sensory hardness by a semi-logarithmic relationship known as Weber-Fechner’s law scale. In principal component analysis, two principal components that accounted for 86.71% of the total variance, separated the gel samples in terms of hardness/springiness and moistness, respectively. The categories of the starch gel samples were subdivided into five groups with different stress ranges. As a result, five categories of food texture could be successfully provided with corresponding stress range and consumer languages that can be used as a reference tool to establish the guideline or criteria for developing the elderly foods.

The present paper proposes an categorization of commercial fluid products. A total of 21 commercial fluid products were analyzed(porridges, universal design foods, foods for special medical purposes) corresponding to 11 different commercial brands. Joint consideration has been made of viscous behavior (flow and thixotropy) and viscoelastic behavior (oscillatory testing). Rheological measurements were fitted to different rheological mathematical models, and a total of 4 parameters were generated. Our results correspond to three different classes. The three defined classes have been named in a way similar those most commonly used in the literature. Each class has been defined from the parameters allows us to know the common rheological characteristics of any of the products belonging to a given class.

Background: South Korea is one of fastest aging countries in the world. Poor balance and falls of the elderly are main health issues. Objects: The goal of this study was to understand the association between the socioeconomical factors and the standing balance of elderly living in the rural and urban area. Methods: One hundred sixty-six elderly participants who were older than 65 and were able to walk without an assistive device were recruited in the city of Gwangju and in the rural area of Jeonnam, South Korea. All participants performed the static and dynamic standing balance tests. Static standing balance was measured with chronometer in seconds while standing on one leg. Dynamic balance was tested with the timed up and go test (TUG), measured in seconds while getting up from a chair and walking 3 meters and back to sit. The static and dynamic standing balance was analyzed using analysis of variance and the Fisher’s Least Significant Difference post hoc test. Results: Male participants from both areas had no difference in one leg standing and TUG. The female elderly living in rural area took shorter in TUG than females living in urban area. Age decreased the one leg standing time in both areas while did not affect the TUG significantly. As the monthly income increased, both of one leg standing and TUG increased in urban area, while the medium monthly income showed best performance (it was not statistically significant) in both of one leg standing and TUG in rural area. Conclusion: Socioeconomical factors affects differently the standing balance of the elderly living in rural and urban South Korea. Female living alone in urban area with low monthly income demonstrated worst standing balance in this study.

Even though cars have a good effect on modern society, traffic accidents do not. There are traffic laws that define the regulations and aim to reduce accidents from happening; nevertheless, it is hard to determine all accident causes such as road and traffic conditions, and human related factors. If a traffic accident occurs, the traffic law classifies it as ‘Negligence of Safe Driving’ for cases that are not defined by specific regulations. Meanwhile, as Korea is already growing rapidly elderly population with more than 65 years, so are the number of traffic accidents caused by this group. Therefore, we studied predictive and comparative analysis of the number of traffic accidents caused by ‘Negligence of Safe Driving’ by dividing it into two groups : All-ages and Elderly. In this paper, we used empirical monthly data from 2007 to 2015 collected by TAAS (Traffic Accident Analysis System), identified the most suitable ARIMA forecasting model by using the four steps of the Box-Jenkins method : Identification, Estimation, Diagnostics, Forecasting. The results of this study indicate that ARIMA (1, 1, 0)(0, 1, 1)12 is the most suitable forecasting model in the group of All-ages; and ARIMA (0, 1, 1)(0, 1, 1)12 is the most suitable in the group of Elderly. Then, with this fitted model, we forecasted the number of traffic accidents for 2 years of both groups. There is no large fluctuation in the group of All-ages, but the group of Elderly shows a gradual increase trend. Finally, we compared two groups in terms of the forecast, suggested a countermeasure plan to reduce traffic accidents for both groups

목적 : 신체활동, 인지활동, 사회적 상호작용, 놀이 및 수공예 등의 목적있는 활동 및 사회적 상호작용을 포 함한 집단 복합 중재가 초기치매 노인의 인지기능과 우울에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 유사 실험연구로써 단일 집단 사전-사후 설계(one group pretest-posttest design)로 중재는 회당 90분, 주 1회, 8회기 동안 실시하였다. 중재 전과 후의 인지기능과 우울 수준의 변화를 비교하기 위 해 치매 선별용 간이정신상태검사(Mini-Mental State Examination-Dementia Screening; MMSE-DS) 와 단축형 한국어판 노인우울척도(Korean Version of Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale; SGDS-K) 를 사용하였다. 결과 : 초기치매 노인에게 집단 복합중재 후의 인지기능은 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 있었고(p<0.01), 우울 수준은 통계적으로 유의미한 감소가 있었다(p<0.05). 우울증 의심에 해당되는 대상자 6명은 모두 정상범주로 분류되었다. 결론 : 신체활동, 인지활동, 사회적 상호작용, 놀이 및 수공예 등의 목적 있는 활동을 포함한 집단 복합 중 재는 초기 치매 노인의 인지기능의 퇴행을 늦추고 우울수준을 감소시키는데 유의한 효과가 있다. 향후 연구결과의 확증이 필요하며 치료사의 태도나 역량 등 중재의 정확한 전달에 필요한 질적인 내용을 포 함하는 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

PURPOSES : Because elderly drivers are more prone to becoming confused when approaching an urban intersection and thus may yield prolong judgment and decision times than non-elderly drivers, to increase the comfort and safety of the intersection environment for elderly drivers, this study applied autonomous driving tests at an urban intersection to examine their driving characteristics. METHODS: To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of driving features, this study collected drive data of non-elderly drivers and elderly drivers via an autonomous experiment using OBD2 and an eye-tracker, in addition to performing a literature review on the measured visibility range of elderly drivers at intersections. This literature review was conducted considering the general knowledge of elderly drivers having relatively reduced visibility. Additionally, as they are commonly more vulnerable, this study analyzes characteristics of elderly drivers as compared to those of non-elderly drivers. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1) the peripheral visible distance of elderly drivers is reduced as compared to that of non-elderly drivers; 2) elderly drivers approach and proceed through intersections at slower speeds than non-elderly drivers; and 3) elderly drivers yield increased driving distances when performing a right or left turn as compared to non-elderly drivers as a result of their reduced speed and acceleration and larger turning radii relative to non-elderly drivers.

Development of elderly foods that improve health among the older population is needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the preference of specific foods for development as elderly foods. A one-to-one survey method was used for data collection from 150 elderly people attending senior welfare centers. The results of the study showed that the preferred cooking materials were vegetables, meats and fishes; and preferred cooking method was soup and stew rather than deep-frying. The elderly preferred meats and seafood but they did not eat them frequently. The results of investigating the preference of specific foods including meats, Kimchi, nuts and rice cakes indicated that old people liked broiled meats, Chinese cabbage Kimchi, walnuts and nonglutinous rice cakes the most, and they did not feel comfortable with chewing the foods. Most respondents were not familiar with the elderly foods. Moreover, the most important factors affecting their choice of elderly foods were hygiene, nutrition and flavor

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of communication simulation based on for elderly sensation disorders patient. the elderly population is growing about hearing loss, cataracts on this communication simulation for a nursing student is required. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 46 subjects (undergraduate students) participated in they were assigned to two groups: the experimental group(n=24) the control group (n=22). Data - gathering structured questionnaires that included communication competence, academic self-efficacy, and attitude about the elderly. The data were collected and statistical analyses were conducted with x2 test and independent t-test using the SPSS 22.0 program. Results: there was significant improvement in communication competence in the experiment group (t=2.05, =.046) and attitude about the elderly (t=-2.26, p=.033). However, there was no statistically no significant in academic self-efficacy(t=1.17, p=.247) Conclusion: communication Simulation should continue to be developed further for better sensation disorders with elderly patient. Integrated education in particular using a high-fidelity simulator will contribute to improvement in nursing competence.

This paper aims at studying how the effects of Animal Assisted Therapy on the elderly’s depression, cognition are. The questions of this paper are as followings. 1. What is the demo-social characteristics of elderly in Uisung nursing home? 2. What are the effect of Animal Assisted Therapy on the elderly’s depression, cognition? In this paper, we collected the data by interviews through questionnaires and observations during program. The results of the analyses of the elderly in Uisung nursing home are as follows. In the demo-socio factors, the elderly’s average age is 78, The score of depression of experiment group is 47 in comparison of the previous test 52. The score of cognition is 14 in comparison of the previous test 13. Although there is a little difference between test group and experiment group in post test of MNSE-K, depression, the differences of test group and experiment group in post test of MNSE-K, depression are statistically meaningless. With a view of this point, we can conclude that we need more observation of the effect of the animal assisted therapy in nursing home Uisung area in spite of better conditions than before. The agency to solve the elderly depression, cognition in nursing home need more observation to recognize the important factors affecting the elderly’s depression, cognition in Uisung Kyungbuk Area. In reality, the elderly in nursing home feel more better than before therapy, which implication is very meaningful in elderly welfare.

Background: Deficiencies in the ability to maintain balance are common in elderly. Augmented feedback such as knowledge of results (KR) can accelerate learning and mastering a motor skill in older people. Objects: We designed this study to examine whether one session of Wii-Fit game with self-regulated KR is effective for elderly people, and to compare the effect of two different timings of self-regulated KR conditions. Methods: Thirty-nine community-dwelling elders, not living in hospice care or a nursing home, participated in this study. During acquisition, two groups of volunteers were trained in 10 blocks of a dynamic balancing task under the following 2 conditions, respectively: (a) a pre-trial self-regulated KR (n1=18), or (b) a post-trial self-regulated KR (n2=21). Immediate retention tests and delayed retention tests of balancing performance were administered in 15 minutes and 24 hours following acquisition period, respectively. Results: In both groups, significant improvements of balancing performances scores were observed during the acquisition period. Regardless of the group, mean of balancing performance scores on retention tests were well-maintained from the final session. There were no significant differences between groups in balancing performance scores during the acquisition period (p>.05); however, the post-trial self-regulated KR group exhibited significantly higher balancing performance scores in both the immediate retention test and delayed retention test than that of the pre-trial self-regulated KR group (p<.05). Conclusion: Therefore, subjects who regulated their feedback after a dynamic balancing task, during the acquisition period, experienced more efficient motor learning during the retention period than did subjects who regulated their feedback before a dynamic balancing task. Accordingly, in case of presenting the KR of motor learning in clinical settings to elders who reduced dynamic balance abilities, the requesting time of KR is imperative according to self-estimation processes as well as types of KR and practice.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of sensory stimulation type on the learning of the elderly. The study implemented elderly verbal learning test by evenly dividing a total of 40 elderly people into auditory stimulation followed by visual stimulation group(AVG), visual stimulation followed by auditory stimulation group(VAG), simultaneous visual and auditory stimulation group(SG), and auditory stimulation group(AG). The result are as follows. SSG showed highest results in most of the test, followed by AVG, VAG, and AG. In particular, SG showed a statistically significant difference in immediate recall total score and short delay free recall score(p<.05). In the post-hoc test results of immediate recall total score, SG showed highest score with a statistical significance. AVG showed the second highest score, followed by VAG and AG and all showed a statistic significance(p<.05).In the post-hoc test results of short delay free recall score, SG and AVG showed a statistically significantly higher score than AG(p<.05). The results suggest that simultaneous stimulation of visual and auditory sense is more effective for improving the learning of the elderly people than visual stimulation followed by auditory stimulation or auditory stimulation followed by visual stimulation.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the quality characteristics of Jeungpyun added with goji berry powder (0, 2, 4, 6%) and to develop functional Jeungpyun as snack for the elderly. The volume of batter without goji berry powder increased 2.9 times after 4 hrs of fermentation, whereas those with 2, 4, and 6% goji berry powder increased 1.8~1.9 times. The pH and brix of the batter increased by increasing the concentration of goji berry powder. The expansion volume of Jeungpyun decreased by increasing the concentration of goji berry powder. The pH of Jeungpyun was higher than that of Jeungpyun batter in all groups. However, the brix of Jeungpyun was lower than that of Jeungpyun batter in all groups. The L value of Jeungpyun decreased, whereas a and b values increased by increasing the concentration of goji berry powder. The consumer acceptability score was higher in the elderly than in university students. Jeungpyun with 4% goji berry powder had best ratings in taste and overall preference. The DPPH free radical scavenging antioxidant activity of Jeungpyun significantly increased with increasing concentration of goji berry powder. Therefore, goji berry Jeungpyun is available as a snack for the elderly and can be added to goji berry powder up to 4%.
