“…Previous studies have reported that physical attractiveness is a concept that positively affects factors such as happiness, self-esteem, and social performance [18]. In the case of the elderly, appearance management behavior relieves mental stress and improves depression, self-esteem, and social skills [19][20][21][22]. Thus, the industry classified as "beauty art business" in Korea is believed to have a psychologically positive effect on people, especially the elderly, in terms of appearance improvement.…”

In Korean society, where aging is rapidly progressing, the happiness of the elderly is no longer an economic issue. An esthetics program has the effect of improving depression or low self-esteem to increase psychological and physical satisfaction, which is a good way to raise the happiness index of the elderly. However, there is a lack of esthetics education or esthetics programs in Korea to train estheticians to serve elderly people. This study confirmed the possibility of open innovation through esthetics education to increase the happiness index of the elderly. As a research method, a self-administered questionnaire was used to survey 572 estheticians and analyzed statistically. In this study, Korean estheticians were very positive about the need for the development of professional care programs for the elderly, and it was found that they are willing to care for the elderly. Developing a variety of esthetic programs through the training of professional manpower for the elderly in the future will contribute to enhancing the happiness index of elderly Korean people.According to the Korea Statistical Office, the aged population index was 104.8 in 2017, and the elderly population aged 65 or older already exceeded the youth population aged 10-14 [3].However, it is doubtful whether Korea is prepared to face aging rapidly. According to the OECD statistics, the suicide rate [1] and poverty rate [2] of the elderly in Korea are the highest among the OECD countries, and one out of five elderly people suffer from depression [4].After retirement, many people live between 20 and 40 years, a fact that creates the need for better quality of life and independence [5]. Happiness effects positive emotions that determine quality of life [6]. In this regard, many studies have been conducted on factors related to the happiness of the elderly.While GDP remains widely used as an indicator of a nation's economic activity, it has been consistently found that happiness does not necessarily increase with income, and many international organizations and experts agree that it is necessary to have a happiness index that incorporates not only economic value (e.g., GDP) but also life satisfaction, future expectations, unemployment rate, self-esteem, hope, and love [7,8]. In other words, in order to raise the happiness index of the elderly, a program that can cover not only economic aspects but also psychological aspects is needed. In particular, high self-esteem has been reported to be one of the strongest predictors of well-being [9], and it has a strong relation to happiness. One study found that people with high self-esteem are significantly, substantially happier than other people. They are also less likely to be depressed, either in general or specifically in response to stressful, traumatic events [10].Social welfare programs, such as art therapy, music therapy, and laughter therapy, are emerging to address the psychological difficulties Korean elderly face, but most Korean welfare is still focused on solving economic difficulties.

Background and objective: Sleep disorders in middle-aged women are said to be related to stress and physical and psychological symptoms of menopause (Chung and Tang, 2006). Therefore, it is necessary to prepare appropriate intervention measures to promote health in middle-aged women. This study empirically examined the effects of urban gardening activities on the health promotion of middle-aged women and sought the development and applicability of urban gardening programs.Methods: Among middle-aged women in their 40s-50s who had no prior experience with urban gardening, 20 women were in the experimental group participating in the urban gardening program for 12 weeks, and 20 women were in the control group not participating in the program.Results: As a result of comparing the physical activity(IPAQ) between the experimental group and the control group according to participation in urban gardening, the experimental group showed an increase from 2663.50 MET-minute/week before participation in the program to 3675.45 MET-minute/week after participation, while the control group showed a decrease from 3297.90 MET-minute/week to 2830.98 MET-minute/week, but there was no statistically significant difference. As a result of analyzing the change in the stress index(PSS), the experimental group showed a decrease from 15.3 before participation in the program to 12.05 after participation, whereas the control group showed an increase from 13 to 14.5, but this was not statistically significant. For sleep quality (PSQI), the experimental group showed an increase from 6.25 before participation in the program to 5.15 after participation, whereas the control group showed an increase from 6.45 to 6.55, but there was not statistically significant difference.Conclusion: The results of this study empirically confirmed that urban gardening activities can contribute to improving the physical activity and sleep quality of middle-aged women. In the future, these findings will help develop and apply health care programs for middle-aged women using urban gardening activities.
