Among the cultural groups that increase South Korea's diversity, there are adolescents returning to Korea after their stay abroad. From 15 in-depth interviews with those who stayed abroad for longer than 5 years, 11 codes were generated. The codes were divided into two categories: "assets" when the multicultural experience served as resources for the returnees adapting to Korean culture successfully and "disadvantages" when the multiple experience remained fragmented for the returnees experiencing difficulty in re-acculturation. The distinguishing factors between the success and difficulty in re-acculturation appeared to be the cultural identity as Korean and the "openness to experience." The interwoven nature of personal and social factors stood out, along with the role of cultural identity throughout the process. Also the "openness to experience" as a strategy of integrating the past experiences is discussed, as well as the implications of the findings and the suggestions for future studies in the contemporary multicultural South Korea as a host society.

We measured volume of daily urinary excretion. daily excretion of $Na^+$ and $K^+$, creatinine clearance, blood $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentration on 34 subjects(12 men. 21 wenen) who live in Hanlim sub-county. Kimhae county. Kyongnam, Korea in December 1990. The data were compared to the data in 9 urban residents(4 men, 5 wemen). Results were as follows. I) Daily mean urinary $Na^+$ excretion of rural residents was $255{\pm}95.6$mEq/day. It is much lower than that of in 1960 but higher than that of students living in urban area(1975) or that of occidentals. 2) Daily mean urinary $K^+$ excretion of rural residents was $45{\pm}15.1$mEq/day. 3) $K^+$ excretion of rural residents was similar to that of urban residents but because of the relatively high $Na^+$ excretion, $K^+/Na^+$ ratio was significantly lower than that of urban residents. In conclusion. salt intake and excretion of rural residents tends to have been decreased progressively and it is thought to be the result of the improvement in dietary life especially increased intake of animal protein.

This study examined the vocabulary competence of institutionalized and home-reared 6- and 7-year-old children with the use of the Revised Picture Vocabulary Test(Dunn & Dunn, 1981; Korean version, Kim et al., 1995), administered to 113 institutionalized children and 124 middle class home-reared children. Results indicated that the vocabulary competence of institutionalized children was inferior to that of home-reared children. Children who had lived in an institution for two years or more scored lower than those who had been institutionalized for a shorter time. 7-year-olds scored higher than 6-year-olds, regardless of institutionalization. Home-reared girls scored higher than home-reared boys, but there was no sex difference between institutionalized children. These findings suggest that efforts should be directed toward improving the linguistic environment of institutionalized children.

의학이 발달하고 수명이 연장되고, 그리고 식사가 보다 서양화되는 등 생활양식이 변화됨에 따라 성인병이 1970년대부터 한국에 보다 늘어나게 되었다. 본 연구는 면접 및 설문지법을 이용하여 성인병, 특히 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암에 관하여 도시 및 시골 거주자들의 지식, 태도 및 실천을 비교 연구하였다. 연구기간은 1990년 1월 부터 12월까지 1년동안이었고 대상은 전체 716명으로 그중 360명은 부산시 거주자였고 356명은 부산 근교의 시골거주자였다. 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암에 대해 알고 있다고 응답한 대상자는 각각 92.6%, 92.0% 및 74.7%였다. 고혈압, 당뇨병 및 암의 지식도에 있어서 도시 거주자들이 시골 거주자보다 유의하게 더 많이 알고 있었다(각각 p<0.001). 그러나 성인병에 관한 태도와 지식에 있어서는 도시 거주자와 시골 거주자 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p<0.05). 고혈압의 지식도는 거주지(r=0.2159, p<0.01) 및 수입 (r=0.1882, p<0.01)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었고, 당뇨병에 관한 지식도는 거주지(r=0.3952, p<0.001), 수입(r=0.3663, p<0.001) 및 직업(r=0.2576, p<0.001), 수입(r=0.4138, p<0.001), 직업(r=0.3044, p<0.001) 및 성별(r=-0.1887, p<0.01)과 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 성인병에 관한 태도는 성별(r=0.4748, p<0.001), 경제상태(r=0.2209, p<0.01) 및 고혈압 지식도(r=0.1844, p<0.01)와 유의한 상관관계를 나타내었다. 성인병에 관한 실천은 본 연구에서 어떤 변수와도 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 성인병이 이전보다 더 많아짐에 따라 연령이 증가하는 나라와 개발국가에서 성인병이 주요한 대상질환이 될 것이고, 질병예방과 건강증진의 차원에서 성인병을 예방하기 위해 보건교육에 보다 중점을 두어야 할 것이다.

The aim of this study was to identify the utilization of health services and factors influencing the quality of life(QOL) of migrant workers. The participants were 135 migrant workers in Korea. Data was collected from September 10th 2012 to November 15th 2012. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff' test, and hierarchical multiple regression. Immigrant workers experienced difficulty in using health services and had a $14.25{\pm}2.01$ QOL, which was relatively low. The factors influencing QOL were the length of stay in Korea, residence areas, and satisfaction with health services. Final regression model accounted for 16.7% of the variance in QOL. The satisfaction level with health services was the most influential factors in the level of the QOL. Therefore, diverse strategies should be developed to enhance the satisfaction with health services in Korea migrant workers.

This study aimed to compare smoking, drinking, dietary management, personal hygiene, and oral care between immigrant women in urban and rural areas and to determine predictors of the overall health behaviors. With the standardized questionnaire used for community health survey data collection was performed in 128 immigrant women from November 2011 to October 2012. Rural women performed significantly higher numbers of health behaviors than urban women and residential district, education, employment status, and perceived difficulties related to cultural adaptation significantly predicted health behaviors in immigrant women. Immigrant women in urban areas may be highly vulnerable in maintaining health behaviors compared with rural women and cultural barriers may hinder positive health behavior maintenance. Therefore, careful considerations at individual, community, and environmental levels are needed when assessing immigrant women's health behaviors and designing culturally relevant interventions to improve health status.

The purpose of this study is to find the housing affordability of elderly household according to household types and housing tenure and to contribute to desirable elderly housing policies. The data from the 2010 Korea Housing Survey was used for the analysis of this study and the final sample included 6,780 elderly households. The results of this study are summarized as follows; It was found that all kinds of elderly household for housing affordability were affected by income, residence period, housing location and size of house. And housing location was a highly influential factor. Besides, female elderly house-owners and male elderly renters living alone were likely to have higher housing cost burden. And if elderly renters households suffer more financial burden, they had have higher housing cost burden. It is implies that desirable elderly housing polices by government need to consider elderly househod's diverse characteristics in aged society.
