Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of social supports on the relationship between child-rearing burden and psychological well-being among grandmothers. Data was collected from 249 grandmothers raising preschooler grandchildren who live in Gwangju by self-reported questionnaires. The method used for data analysis was structural equation modeling analysis using SPSS 22.0 and Amos 22.0. The results of this study revealed that child-rearing burden influenced social supports of grandmothers. Social supports influenced psychological well-being of grandmothers. Child-rearing burden influenced psychological well-being of grandmothers. The structural equation modeling analysis indicated that social supports partially mediated the relationship between child-rearing burden and psychological well-being.

본 연구는 광주광역시에 거주하면서 맞벌이 가정의 손자녀를 양육하는 조모 249명을 대상으로 하여 양육부담감과 심리적 복지의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 살펴보았다. 자료분석은 SPSS 22.0과 AMOS 22.0 프로그램을 이용하여 구조방정식 모형을 검증하였다. 본 연구의 자료를 분석한 결과, 양육부담감은 손자녀를 양육하는 조모의 사회적복지에 직접적으로 영향을 미치고 사회적 지지는 심리적 복지에 영향을 미쳐, 양육부담감은 사회적 지지를 매개로 하여 심리적 복지에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 양육부담감은 심리적 복지에 직접적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구는 손자녀를 양육하는 조모의 양육부담감이 사회적 지지를 통해 심리적 복지에 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝힘으로써 양육부담감과 심리적 복지의 관련성에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 확인하였다.
