This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between social isolation and depression in nurses. This study was conducted with 135 registered nurses in three COVID-19 specialized hospitals. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 and using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and mediation analysis. The mediating effect was analyzed using PROCESS macro for SPSS 4.0 program with bootstrapping method. Social isolation directly influenced social support (𝛽=-.62, p<.001) and depression (𝛽=.49, p<.001). Social support directly influenced depression (𝛽=-.19, p=.028). Social support has a mediating effect between social isolation and depression (indirect effect=.12, 95% CI=0.02~0.29). To managed depression, intervention are needed to reduce social isolation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies that enhance social support to relieve depression in nurses perceived social isolation.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 사회심리적 간호현상을 밝힘에 있다. 이를 위한 자료는9명의 임상경험이 많은 병원 간호사들을 심층면담하여 수집하였으며, 분석은 해석학적 현상학과 근거 이론 방법에서 사용하는 계속비교 분석 방법을 이용하였다. 사회심리적 간호는 ‘정보제공’, ‘위로’, ‘상담’, ‘지도’의 네가지 범주로 구분되었다. 이 중에서 정보제공이 가장 많이 사용되었고 중요하게 여겨 진 반면, 상담과 지도는 흔히 사용되지 않았다. 이는 상담과 지도는 고도의 의사소통 기술, 인간관계에 대한 이해, 그리고 타인에 대한 감성등이 요구되었기 때문이다. 사회심리적 간호제공에 방해를 주는 요인도 밝혀졌다. 첫째, 가족이나 보호자들의 상주로 인해 간호사들이 사회심리적 간호의 임을 이들에게 떠넘기는 경향이 있었다. 둘째, 간호사의 특성, 즉 치료적 인간관계를 확립할 수 있는 간호사의 능력부족이 방해요인이었다. 셋째, 신체적 간호만을 중시하고 높은 간호사대 환자 비율을 가진 병원 시스템이 방해요인이었다. 넷째, 조밀한 병상등의 병원환경도 해요인으로 나타났다. 사회심리적 간호는 간호사-환자-보호자 관계를 치료적으로 형성 유지할 수 있는 간호사의 능력에 따라 결정되었기 때문에 이에 대한 분석을 계속하였으며, 치료적 관계형성과 유지에 영향을 주는 요인은 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 간호사의 기술적, 신체적 간호의 유능성이 치료적 관계형성에 필요하였다. 둘째, 환자 및 보호자와 신뢰관계를 구축할 수 있는 능력이 필요하였다. 셋째, 환자의 요구에 따르는 역할을 제대로 수행할 수는 능력이 필요하였다. 즉, 치료적 관계형성은 환자와의 신뢰형성만으로는 부족하며, 환자와 보호자의 요구에 따르는 역할, 즉 정보제공자, 위로자, 상담자, 지도자의 역할까지도 수행할 수 있어야 함을 의미한다. 이 외에도, 간호사들이 치료적 관계를 형성하고 유지하기 위하여 사용한 대책들을 제시하고 논의하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 사회심리적 간호의 범주, 방해요인, 촉진요인 등을 설명하고 기술하였기에, 우리나라의 간호사들이 사회심리적 간호를 위해 어떠한 일들을 주로 수행하며, 어떻게 환자 및 보호자들과 상호작용하면서 간호중재를 펴나가는가를 이해하는데 도움을 주리라 여겨진다.

In Korea, since the systematic efforts to help unmarried mothers are rather limited, the unmarried mother's social relationship is expected to play a critical role in the adjustment of unmarried mothers after the birth of a baby. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of social relationship on unmarried mother's self-esteem. Especially, this study focused a negative aspect of social relationship, social conflict, which has been ignored by the previous researches. For this study, survey method was employed. The respondents of the questionnaire were 205 unmarried mothers staying at six out of eight institutions for unmarried mothers available in Korea. The multiple regression and other descriptive statistical methods were conducted and the results of analysis are as follows. First, the higher the level of perceived social support was, the higher the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Second, the higher the level of perceived social conflict was, the lower the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Third, even though the level of perceived social conflict was much lower than the perceived social support, the effect of social conflict on unmarried mothers' self-esteem was as powerful as the social support. This means that the effect of social conflict also can be very important. These findings suggest a new direction for intervention for unmarried mothers. Until now, the major target of intervention in social relationship was to strengthen existing social support or establish new social support system. Now, in addition to augmenting social support, we should pay attention to removal of social conflict, since it has significantly powerful effect on the adjustment of unmarried mothers.

The present study investigated the mediating effects of parents' social networks on the relationship between parents' socioeconomic status and parent involvement. Parent involvement in the current study was composed of home-based and school-based involvement. Home-based involvement includes providing learning environment at home, guiding child's study habits, and providing educational and financial support. School-based involvement includes supporting child's school-related activities, participating at parent meetings and volunteering, and home-school communication. The subjects were 132 single mothers and 164 mothers from two-parent families, whose children are fifth and sixth graders in Seoul and Incheon. Structural Equational Modeling was used for the analysis by adopting SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. The results showed that single mothers and mothers from two-parent families differ in their structural models. For mothers from two-parent families, socioeconomic status was directly related to home-based and school-based involvement. In contrast, single mother's socioeconomic status only influenced home-based and school-based involvement indirectly through the functional aspects of mother's social networks. The results suggest that parent counseling and parent education programs might be more effective if they encouraged single mothers to exchange resources through their social networks in order to promote parent involvement in elementary schools.

In this study, we looked at the relationship among the anxiety, social support and trust experienced by the general public during the pandemic situation (COVID-19), and confirmed the effect of trust to the relationship between social support and anxiety. First, the correlations analysis that was performed to identify the relationship among the variables showed negative correlation between social support and anxiety. While it was also found that social support showed positive correlations with social trust, no significant correlations were shown with regards to government trust. Furthermore, government trust and social trust showed negative correlations with anxiety. Second, the regression analysis was conducted to verify the hypothesis that social support would affect anxiety through social trust. It showed that social trust partly mediated in the relationship between social support and anxiety. Based on the results above, the discussions and suggestions were presented throughout the study.

The purpose of this study is to present the necessary success strategies for the social economy ecosystem and social enterprise stakeholders by empirically examining the structural relationship of factors that affect the sustainable dual performance of social enterprises. Through previous studies, hypotheses and research models were established for the performance factors of social enterprises, and hypothesis testing was performed using PLS-Structural Equation Modeling on 92 sample data collected from the survey. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the social mission, customer orientation, and social network set as performance factors all had a significant positive (+) effect on social performance. In addition, social performance had a significant (+) effect on economic performance by mediating customer orientation and social network excluding social mission, and it was found that the business model strengthened this relationship. In addition to the theoretical significance of demonstrating the structural influence of social enterprise performance factors through this study, practical implications can be found in that it suggests factors that social entrepreneurs should focus on for growth and performance creation.

The successful aging paradigm suggests that the elderly keep their social ties and actively participate in various activities in later life. Many Korean studies on aging, however, have overlooked the importance of various social activities and relationships beyond kinship. This article aims to investigate the perceived social activities among Korean elders to comprehend the subjectivity of successful aging. 613 respondents, over 50 years old, are selected from a national survey data which was collected by face-to-face interview based on the structured questionnaire. The respondents are classified into pre old (50-64), young old (65-74), old old (over 75). Major findings are as follows. The social activities are grouped into two sub-categories: 'relational activity' and 'productive activity'. The activity types are different by the age cohorts. Various activities are considered in terms of one's needs or motivations, and properly chosen based on the subjective evaluation during life course. Both demographic variables such as sex, area and social context variables such as marital status, living-together show influence on the activity type choices. Plans for later life and work ethics are important as well. Policies regarding social participation emphasizing productivity should positively consider relational motives, as perceived by the Korean elderly.

This study examines the influence of smartphone use in old age on satisfaction with relationships with spouse, children and social acquaintances among Korean older adults. Data on older adults aged 60 and over, who live in Seoul, was collected through a questionnaire survey and 674 cases were analyzed. The effects of smartphone use on satisfaction with these three types of inter-personal relationships was tested using a multiple regression analysis, controlling for sex, age, marital status, education, employment status, income and health. The results showed that the smartphone use of older adults did not affect spouse relationship satisfaction, but positively affected both children relationship satisfaction and satisfaction with social acquaintance relationship in old age. This suggests that the positive effects of smartphone use on inter-personal relationships in old age work only to improve relationships with children and social acquaintances, but not to enhance the relationship with one's spouse. This study implies that practical efforts to enhance the smartphone use and the level of informatization among older adults are needed to improve the inter-personal relationships and quality of life in old age.

The objectives of this study were to survey the level of social capital owned by self-support program participants, and to analyze the direct and indirect effects of social capital on their quality of life. Particularly because an individual's life is highly likely to be influenced by multiple aspects including human relation, this study purposed to determine the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the relation between social capital and the quality of life. The survey used a structured questionnaire, and in the contents of the questionnaire, the quality of life was selected as a dependent variable, social capital as an independent variable, and the job satisfaction as a mediating variable affecting the relation between social capital and the quality of life. The results of this study were as follows. First, as to the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and the quality of life, the network level and the normative level hand an important effect on the quality of life. Second, as to the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and job satisfaction, social capital had a negative effect on job satisfaction. Third, in the relation between self-support program participants' social capital and their quality of life, the mediating effect of job satisfaction was positive and this supports the spillover model among hypotheses on the relation between job satisfaction and the quality of life.
