Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of burden of caring unmarried adult children on depression of employed women and to verify the mediating effects of couple communication and job satisfaction. For the purpose, the data from the fourth year Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families on 586 employed women with baby boomer husbands and unmarried adult children were analyzed by using structure equation modeling. The found results are as follows. First, burden of caring unmarried adult children of employed women had a positive effect on their depression, while it had a negative effect on couple communication and job satisfaction. Second, couple communication of employed women influenced negatively on their depression and had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between burden of caring unmarried adult children and depression. Third, the effect of burden of caring unmarried adult children on depression of employed women was partly mediated by their job satisfaction. Further, the practical programs to enhance couple communication and job satisfaction, as well to reduce depression, were presented.

본 연구의 목적은 취업 여성의 미혼 성인자녀 돌봄 부담감이 우울감에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 부부의사소통 및 일 만족도의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 여성가족패널(KLoWF) 4차년도 자료를 기준으로 미혼 성인자녀와 베이비부머 남편을 둔 취업 기혼여성 586명을 표본으로 추출하여 구조방정식을 실행하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 취업 여성의 미혼 성인자녀 돌봄에 대한 부담감은 우울감에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치며, 부부의사소통과 일 만족도에는 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 부부의사소통은 취업 기혼여성의 우울감에 부(-)적인 영향을 주고, 미혼 성인자녀 돌봄 부담감과 우울감 사이에 부분매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 취업 기혼여성의 일 만족도는 우울감에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치며, 미혼 성인자녀 돌봄 부담감과 우울감 사이에 부분적인 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 취업 여성의 우울감을 낮추고, 부부의사소통과 일 만족도를 고취시키기 위한 다양한 프로그램의 개발과 적용을 제시하였다.
