Purpose: Sharing genetic information with family members is important for cancer awareness and prevention. The purpose of this study is to examine disclosure patterns of positive BRCA genetic test results to patients' relatives. Materials and Methods: A total of 106 probands who had positive BRCA genetic test results from the Korean Hereditary Breast Cancer Study participated in our study. Subjects were asked whether they had disclosed their genetic test results to first-, second-, and third-degree relatives. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify factors associated with positive result sharing with close and distant relatives. Results: In total, 99 respondents (93.4%) informed at least one at-risk relative of the test result, and they all reported that they had disclosed their genetic test result to a first-degree relative. Communication of test results to other relatives occurred significantly less often, with only 31 of 99 subjects (31.3%) sharing their results with second- or third-degree relatives. In the results of univariate analyses, disclosure of genetic test results to more distant relatives was associated with marital status and months since post-test counseling. The reasons for communication were to provide information about the BRCArelated cancer risk and to recommend the genetic test. Conclusion: Most individuals with the BRCA mutation share their test results with first-degree family members; however, these results reach more distant relatives significantly less often. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage patients' communication with extended family members through systematic genetic counseling.

최근 핵가족 및 1인 가구 형태의 주거문화 가속화로 인해 독거노인 건강 및 복지문제, 맞벌이자녀의 양육문제 등이 자연스럽게 대두되기 시작하였고 원격지에 떨어져 사는 가족 구성원간의 커뮤니케이션 기회 상실로 가족 유대감이 점차 저하되면서 뿌리 깊게 이어진 우리나라의 가족 중심문화의 해체현상이 급속화 되어가고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 사회문제 해소를 위해 광대역 통신망 및 유비쿼터스 기술을 활용하여 원격지 사이의 공간을 하나로 연결하는 가상공간을 구축하여 장소, 시간에 구애 없이 멀리 떨어져 사는 가족 간에 실제 대면하듯이 커뮤니케이션을 하고 정서적 교감을 나눌 수 있는 방안 연구하고 제안하였다. 유비쿼터스 환경은 인간사회에 큰 영향을 줄 것이며, 다양한 기술이 발전하여 언제 어디서나 네트워크를 기반으로 인간과 인간, 인간과 사물 간에 통신이 가능하도록 하는 3차원 커뮤니케이션 공간을 가능하게 할 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 3차원 커뮤니케이션을 통한 가족 간의 의사소통과 유대감을 높일 수 있도록 가상공간을 활용하는 것에 대하여 제안하였다.

In this study, the effect of communication with a guardian of a recipient of a Long-term Care Program on job satisfaction of care helpers of in-home care facilities for the elderly is analyzed. First, most of the care helpers are content with their job despite low pay and short work-hour. Especially, they are aware of the need of communication with a guardian but skeptical about the need of having intimacy with a guardian, so the relation between a care helper and a guardian is usually formal only. Second, in terms of characteristics of a guardian, care helpers have higher job satisfaction when a guardian is a male and old, and does not have an unreasonable demand. Third, they have higher job satisfaction when they have better communicate with a guardian rather than higher intimacy. Considering this result, we should make programs such as education for a guardian to develop intimacy with a care helper and one for a care helper to develop intimacy and communicate effectively with a guardian. It is also needed to have guidelines which set up relationship between a helper and a guardian.
