PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the factors of health-related quality of life in older adults according to the type of residency. METHODS A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted. The subjects were 114 institutionalized older adults and 99 community dwelling older adults. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews by nurses using structured questionnaires composed of SF-36 (ver.2) and CGA-SF. RESULTS The institutionalized older adults had more health problems and experienced lower quality of life compared to community dwelling older adults. Factors influencing health-related quality of life for institutionalized older adults were social support, educational level, and ADL, which explained about 25.7% of the total variance, while thoseof community dwelling older adults were IADL, experiencing fall, and weight loss, which had explanatory power of 31.8%. CONCLUSION These results indicate that differentiated nursing strategies according to the type of residency are required to promote health-related quality of life for older adults.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between problem behavior, school stressor and family strength in high-school girls. METHODS Data were collected from 200 high school girls in 2008. Data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 18.0. RESULTS There was a positive correlation between problem behavior and school stressor. There was a negative correlation between problem behavior and family strength. The predictors of problem behavior were school stressor, family strength, and monthly family income and these factors explained 43.0% of problem behavior. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest the necessity of developing nursing intervention programs for enhancing high-school girls' skills in interpersonal relationship and communication to decrease school stressor and increase family strength.
