The level of Physical Activity Among Older Korean Immigrant Women
임경춘 호서대학교 기초과학연구소 2009 기초과학연구 논문집 Vol.17 No.1
Increases in physical activity provide many health benefits, but a higher percentage of older women are inactive. Literatures have shown a high prevalence of physical inactivity among women and ethnic minority and low-income populations. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of physical activity of community - dwelling, older Korean immigrant women. A face-to-face interview was performed with 122 Korean women, aged 65 to 93 years, living in California. Physical activity was measured with questions on lifestyle and planned leisure activity (exercise). Average age of the participants in this study was 77.6(土 6.54). 47.5% of older Korean-American women did not exercise at all at a moderate intensity physical activity level. Less than 24.6% of older Korean immigrant women were sufficiently active to achieve the full range of health benefits. This study provides important information on the assessment of physical activity among older Korean immigrant women. Results can be used to help improve assessments and to develop more effective interventions for unique groups of older Korean immigrant women.

This study aimed to identify the socioeconomic factors influencing self-rated health (SRH) and analyze the pathways among significant factors in community-dwelling older Koreans. Using a cross-sectional study design, questionnaires were applied to measure SRH, subjective socioeconomic status (SES), and depression. In total, 182 older Koreans (aged ≥ 65 years) at five senior welfare centers participated in this study. Bivariate analysis assessing the relationship between subjective SES, depression, disability, health behaviors, and SRH was performed using SPSS. There was a significant interaction between poor SRH and poor SES (OR=1.64, 95% CI=2.31-11.51), depression (OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.65-8.09), disability (OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.37-17.22), and irregular exercise (OR=1.45, 95% CI=0.94-19.10). These factors explained 30%–42% of the variance of poor SRH in our data. We verified that SES affects older adults’ health via the mediating effect of depression. Therefore, policy initiatives are necessary to mitigate the negative impact of SES on health. 본 연구는 지역사회에 거주하는 한국 노년층의 주관적 건강에 영향을 미치는 사회경제적 요인을 파악하고 주요 요인들 간의 경로를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 횡단적 연구 설계를 사용하여 주관적 건강, 주관적 사회경제적 지위, 우울증을 측정하기 위한 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에는 5개 노인복지관에서 총 182명(만 65세 이상)의 한국 노인이 참여하였다. 자료분석은 주관적 사회경제적 지위, 우울, 장애, 건강 행동 및 주관적 건강사이의 관계를 평가하기 위하여 SPSS를 활용하여 이변량 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 낮은 건강수준은 낮은 주관적 사회적 경제적 지위(OR=1.64, 95% CI=2.31-11.51), 우울(OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.65-8.09), 장애(OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.37-17.22), 그리고 불규칙적인 운동습관(OR=1.45, 95% CI-19.19%) 사이에 유의한 상호작용이 있었다. 이러한 요인은 낮은 주관적 건강수준 분산의 30%-42%를 설명하였다. 본 연구는 사회경제적 지위가 우울을 매개로 하여 노인들의 건강에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인했다. 따라서 사회경제적 지위가 건강에 미치는 부정적인 영향을 완화하기 위한 지속적이고 보다 섬세한 정책이 필요하다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Korean version of Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors Questionnaire (K-CHAMPS). Methods: A convenience sample of 423 older Koreans were interviewed twice (two-week interval). Test-retest reliability, content validity, and construct validity were assessed using the SPSS program. Results: The 41 item K-CHAMPS was developed through linguistic validation and cultural adaptation. Test-retest reliability was .96 for all listed physical activities and .95 for the least moderate intensity physical activities. Factor analysis resulted in 10 factors; playing tennis, swimming, strength training, light activity, outdoor gardening, general exercises, vigorous activity, moderate activity, playing golf, and dance. These 10 factors explained 60.1% of total variance and construct validity was confirmed. The caloric expenditure per week was 2,485±2,363.4) for all listed activities and 1,252±1,904.7 for the least moderate intensity activities. The frequency per week was 15.5±11.9 for all listed activities and 4.8±6.7 for the least moderate intensity activities. Men were more active than women. Conclusion: Results indicate that K-CHAMPS is valid and reliable to measure physical activity. Interventions promoting increased activity through the use of existing community resources may help increase physical activity in older Koreans.

미래의 보다 나은 간호는 초창기 선각자들이 오늘날의 상급 실무 간호사들을 위한 공헌도에 대하여 이해와 감사를 바탕으로 이루어져야만 한다. 이 논문의 목적은 미국에서의 노인전문간호사가 어떻게 과거에 도입되었고 현재 하는 역할이 무엇인지에 대해 역사적으로 고찰하여 한국에서의 노인 전문간호사의 역할 개발에 도움이 되고자 함이다. 문헌 고찰을 통하여 미국에서의 전문간호사의 변천, 노인 전문 간호사의 발전 과정 및 현재의 역할에 대해 서술하였다. 이를 바탕으로 한국 사회에서의 노인전문간호사가 역할을 개발하고 성공적으로 자리매김하기 위한 전략들을 제언하였다. 결론적으로 미래의 상급 실무 간호사들이 나아가야 할 역할의 방향은 환자들에게 수준 높은 질적 간호 제공으로 만족도를 높이면서 리더쉽을 발휘하여 현재의 보건 전달 체계 내에서 자리매김해 나가는 것이다.

Purpose: Evidence-based practice (EBP) has emerged as a marker for healthcare quality and a global issue in nursing care. This study was conducted to identify Korean registered nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practice about EBP in Korea. Methods: With a cross-sectional design, the EBP questionnaire (EBPQ) was administered to a convenience sample of nurses (N=453) recruited from 44 general hospitals. To increase the response rate, the directors of nursing were individually contacted by the researchers. The final response rate was 95.7%. Results: The majority of participants were females (99.3%), staff nurses (57.8%), and with bachelors degree (40.6%). Most of them (314, 73.4%) had ever heard about EBP. The overall mean score for the EBPQ was 4.72 ±0.69 out of maximum score of 7. The mean score for the knowledge of EBP, attitudes towards EBP, and practice/use of EBP were 4.61±0.75, 4.85±0.94, and 4.90±0.88, respectively. Educational level, age, and exposure to EBP were statistically significant predictors of Korean nurses' EBP perception. Conclusion: The findings showed that nurses with higher education are more likely to use and value the best available evidence for practice. This study suggests needs not only for further exploration but also for developing educational plans provided by each institute to assist nurses with the process of EBP and the associated skills.
