본 연구에서는 일차적인 부양자로서의 역할을 담당하고 있는 며느리들을 중심으로 시부모를 부양하면서 느끼는 스트레스를 완하시킬수 있는 자원에는 어떤 것들이 이는지를 살펴봄으로써 효과적인 시부모 부양방안을 규명하는데 그 목적이 있다. 767명의 며느리들을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 회귀분석해 본 결과 자기통제력.부모부양태도와 같은 개인적요인, 부양의 호혜성.관계의 질과 같은 관계적 요인 및 비공식적 지원망의 성원들로부터의 지원과 같은 가족사회적 요인등이 부양스트레스 인지를 낮추는 것으로 나타나 이들요인들이 시부모를 부양하면서 부담 내지 스트레스를 느끼는 며느리들에게 주요한 부양자원이 된다고 할 수 있다. 이를 감안해 볼 때, 며느리의 부양 부담 및 스트레스를 낮출수 있는 다양한 자원에 초점을 둔 지역사회 단위의 교육 및 상담사업의 필요가 절실하다고 하겠다.

Although National Health Insurance(NHI) in the South Korea has guaranteed access to health insurance coverage to virtually all the people, a significant portion of out-of-pocket spending can create substantial financial burdens for some beneficiaries, particularly those with low incomes. Previous studies have estimated the magnitude of out-of-pocket spending by types of chronic illness or in- and out-patients. Prior estimates, however, have not given a complete picture of the impact of health care costs on lower-income populations. The result from this study shows that 20 percent of beneficiaries in the lowest-income quintile spent more than twelve percent of their household equivalent income out-of-pocket health services, whether they were enrolled in a Health care services or not. In comparison, the beneficiaries in the highest-income quintile level spent only 2 percent of their income out-of-pocket on health care. Also, the regression analysis suggests that age, household income, number of chronic illness, type of hospital in addition to the number of usage may affect the size of out-of-pocket spending.

This research attempts to calculate the vertical equity of National Health Insurance Contribution of locally provided policy holders by abilities to pay. Also, this longitudinal study examined the influence of abilities to pay and demographic characteristics on the health insurance premium. Using data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study, this study followed the self-employed households who continued to participate in the survey from 2011 to 2015. Kakwani's index of progressivity was measured as a measure of vertical equity and panel regression analysis was conducted by STATA program. The results of this research are as follows. First, from 2011 to 2015, the values of kakwani's index were negative according to composite income, which meant some levels of regressiveness of contribution. Secondly, panel regression analysis showed that the lowest household of composite income had a significantly negative effect on premiums, which also meant regressiveness. Based on the results, the author suggested political discussions on reorganizing the system of imposing the National Health Insurance contribution.
