Structured Questionnaire

This study aimed to investigate the home environment conditions of the elderly living in the community and to confirm the needs of the residential environment. This study was conducted from January 15th to 25th, 2018, in 12 elderly households in Chungcheongnam-do, using a structured questionnaire and a home environment checklist. The elderly did not feel uncomfortable with their current home, but they wanted to modify their home environment to improve their quality of life. Investigation using home environment checklists showed that demands for supportive design were lacking in the overall areas. On the results of this study, it was confirmed that it is essential to reflect the residents’ occupation, physical characteristics, and needs when constructing the home environment for the healthy life of the elderly in the community.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.
