Purpose
The purpose of this study was to survey the prevalence rate of cognitive impairments and to identify the factors influencing cognitive impairment in the elderly in rural communities of Jeju Province..
Methods
590 elderly in 6 rural communities of Jeju Province were interviewed, using a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, health behavior, quality of life, and MMSE-K
Results
Prevalence of cognitive impairment was 33.1% (39.1% of females, 16.76% of males). Prevalence of dementia was 12.4% (16.3% of females, 2.87% of males). Factors related to cognitive impairment were age, sex, education, standard of living, employment status, and subjective health state.
Conclusions
In community health care for the elderly, factors relating to cognitive impairment have to be considered. When planning community health care, priority should be given to the elderly; who need care but live alone; who lack social support; who have a low standard of living; who experience discomfort in the activities of daily living; who believe they are not in a good state of health; or whose life satisfaction is low.

Abstract
PDF
This study was done to investigate the lives of the daughters- in- law caring for parents with dementia and participate in their lives through having quality time with them. Data were collected by depth interviews and interpreted through the hermeneutic circle as follows. These daughters-in-law have conflict between social custom and subjective self. They had ambivalence toward their demented partents-in- law and were fighting a battle between rationality and emotions in their mind. These daughters-in law and mothers-in- law did not get along and the parents' dementia aggravated the relationships. They were alienated from their family by the parents with dementia. The indifference of their family especially their husbands, made these subjects live in misery. They cared for the demented mother-in-law with hatred. Even though they had this yoke, there daughters- in-law were not able to throw off the shackles of convention.

This descriptive-comparative study attempted to examine the differences acording to the year in college of 288 junior college nursing students attitudes about mental illness. The instrument used for this study was the O.M.I (Opinion about Mental Illness) scale developed by Cohen and Struening. Data collection was done from the 27th to the 30th of September, 1988 by means of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by computer, using the t-test and Analysis of Variance. The findings of this study are as follows : 1. Hypothesis I : "There will be a difference in attitudes toward mental illness according to the year in college." (1) "There will be a difference in the attitude about authoritarianism-according to the year in college."was rejected (F=.5675, P=.5676). (2) "There will be a difference in the attitude about benevolence-according to the year in college." was accepted (F=.5376, P=.5848). (3) "There will be a difference in the attitude about mental hygiene ideology-according to."was accepted (F=17.3497, P=.0000). (4) "There will be a difference in the attitude about social restrictiveness-according to"was rejected (F=1.7416, P=. 1771). (5) "There win be a difference in the attitude about interpersonal etiology-according to"was accepted (F=10.8597, P=.0000). 2. Hypothesis II : "There will bed difference in attitudes toward mental illness." according to whether or not the student have had clinical practice in the psychiatric ward. (1) There will be a difference in the attitudes about authoritarianism-according to "whether or not the student's have had clinical practice in the psychiatric ward was rejected(t=.59, p=.555). (2) "Whether they have had clinical practice at the psychiatric ward or not, There will be difference in the attitudes about benevolence." was rejected (t=1.34, p=.182). (3) "Whether they have had clinical practice at the psychiatric ward or not, there will be difference of the mental hygiene ideology attitude." was accepted(t=2.72, p=.00). (4) "Whether they have had clinical practice at the psychiatric ward or not, there will be difference of the social restrictiveness attitude." was rejected (t=-.59, p=.557). (5) "Whether they have had clinical practice at the psychiatric ward or not, there will be difference of te interpersonal etiology-attitude." was accepted(t=3.55,p=.001). In conclusion, it was found that the higher the year in College, the more positive the attitudes are about mental hygiene ideology and interpersonal etiology. This study suggests that more positive attifudes about psychiatric illness can be induced by a more effective educational experience. The main limitation of this study was that the sociocultural background of Korea is not considered in the O.M.I scale.
