The purpose of this study is to find out about health-care of the solitude elderly people. On that purpose, I made nineteen solitude elderly people objects who were enrolled and managed at one health-service center of Inchon metropolitan city, and collected data by interview and field observation, Jul 1998 to Oct 1998. The results of this study were as follows.
1. The meanings of health which the solitude elderly people had were fitting himself/herself to sickness, acting, mind-controlling, relaxing his/her mind, living independently and eating well.
2. This study showed us that self-care behavior of the solitude elderly people were 「folk remedies」- cauterizing, sticking Buhang, getting acupunctured, applying a hot pack, doing a physical therapy-,「rest」- inhaling fresh air -,「hot therapy」- bathing in sea-water, keeping warm -,「self-treatment」- applying cataplasm and lotion, visiting hospital/drug-store. When the old people have symptom in his/her body-condition, they did their own self-care behavior to alleviate the symptom, but in these processes, the abuse of drugs was serious, so it is needed to manage the abuse.
3. The health-conserving behaviors was 「dietary therapy」- diet-control, folk-remedies-,「mind-control」,「cleansing」,「exercise」and so on. These behaviors are in accord with the behaviors which most elderly people think important to keep their health.
4. The coping-behaviors of the solitude elderly people for health-care were affirmation of taking as a matter of course, and negation of lamentation, pessimism and denial. The fact that their independence of life is connected with their physical condition make it difficult to adapting himself/herself to change and problem of their physical condition. but, the old people accepted it by considering it process of becoming old.
As the solitude elderly people solve the problem in their life for themselves and have problem physically and economically, their health-care was abuse of drug, unsanitary dwelling condition, malnutrition. So, it is needed and important to improve their power of self-care to lead their health behavior to right way.
