이 연구는 여성의 삶의 질에 '일'과 '가족'이 갖는 의미가 무엇인지를 알아보기 위해서, 여성의 '신체적${\cdot}$정신적 건강'에 미치는 '일'과 '가족'의 효과를 분석하고 있다. 이 연구는 생산직 및 사무직에 종사하는 기혼 여성 902명에 대한 설문지 면접조사결과를 회귀분석방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기혼여성노동자의 신체적 건강과 정신건강에 미치는 직업특성${\cdot}$가족특성의 영향력에 변별성이 발견되었다. 가족특성이 기혼여성노동자의 정신건강에만 유의미한 영향을 미친 반면, 직업특성은 이들의 신체적 건강${\cdot}$정신건강 모두에 유의미한 영향을 미침으로써 여성들에게 직업이 갖는 의미가 재해석되어야 함을 암시하였다. 분석결과가 함의하는 바는 다음과 같다. 첫째, '업무스트레스'의 효과처럼 동일한 변수가 성별로 상이한 효과를 미친다는 사실에서 '일'에 대한 성별화된 사회규범이 해체되어야 한다. 둘째, 여성의 연령 증가, 자녀수 증가에 따라 정신건강이 좋아진다는 결과에서 여성에게 '가족'과 '일'의 갈등적 측면 못지않게 지원적 측면이 강화되고 있다. 셋째, 기혼여성노동자의 건강에 가장 영향력 있는 변수는 '가정형편' 변수로서, 건강의 계층화 현상에 주목할 필요가 있으며 저소득층에 대한 각별한 건강복지정책이 요구된다는 점이다.

Using the Socio-cultural Stress and Coping model, this study proposed a path model to explore how cultural values affect the physical health of Korean American caregivers through caregiver burden, receipt of informal social support and utilization of formal care services. For physical health outcomes, three physical health indicators were employed: self-reported global physical health, self-reported blood pressure, and salivary cortisol. The path model was analyzed by using a sample of 87 Korean caregivers living in Los Angeles County and Orange County, California, USA. The major findings of this study included the following: 1) Stronger belief in cultural values was associated with more frequent utilization of formal care services, leading to lower levels of systolic boold pressure; 2) Cultural values did not affect the physical health of Korean American caregivers through caregiver burden. The demonstration of positive effects of cultural values on the physical health of Korean America caregivers through social support utilization call attention to the need of further research on the understudied group providing family care to frail older family members.

Health promotion has more comprehensive approaches in recent years. Nevertheless we accept the concept of health promotion differently, we are agree on that community is the most important field in health promotion which includes population at the aspect of health policy, individual skill and, environment. And there are a number of different approaches to health promotion. In them, 'population approaches' and 'high -risk group approaches' has the most different characteristics. 'Population approaches' is equally important or more important than 'individual approaches' for maintaining and promoting population health. Almost part of this article contents is the summary of the guideline and population strategy of health promotion in Korea, 1999 - 2005. Community based health promotion program should be reinforced, integrated, comprehensive, collaborative through efficiently utilizing community resources. Recent new orientation of community health program is integrated health program, we can find this orientation at Ottawa charter 1986. Comprehensive approaches with the determinant factors for health are essential task. Physical activity is a key health determinant. The population-health approach suggests that educating people about physical activity is not enough. Individual behavior changes are important too, but need to be balanced with strategies for environmental change. Population strategy with physical activity for health promotion should be developed through improving social and physical supportive environment, linking and integrating community resources between public and private sectors in national, regional and local level. Continuous public education and social marketing should be provided through collaborating with community physical activity organization, facilities, work-places and school for increasing concern of all the people of community about physical activity. Governments, agencies and citizens should held and participate to building movement. And the strategy that various 'active for life' program should be developed, delivered, maintained and reinforced continuously. Basically, adequate and sufficient financing, developing human resources, policies and legislation would be provided and supported fully too. At last, research development and knowledge exchange are required domestically and internationally. In Korea, we had classified the category of strategic priority of physical activity programs by environmental support, life-course approach, high-risk group approach and disease group approach for physical activity program based on community health center. Community based core programs for physical activity that includes infrastructure building and establishment of supporting environment, community campaign, health promotion education and public service announcement, physical activity programs for elderly and obesity, exercise prescription program.

The purpose of this study is to see if we can predict the health of seniors of community by analyzing the connection between social network degree and mental and physical health of old people who live in the areas of Gangwha Island. The subjects of the study were men and women aged 65 or over, a total of 643 that resided in Ganghwa A-county. The survey was conducted on Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project from the year 2011 to 2012. Regression analysis was carried out using the data. The analysis results were as follows. First, it showed the relationships between income, gender, age out of demographic variables used as control variable and old persons'physical health. The research results showed that physical health was better in case of the higher incomes, men, and lower age. Second, out of demographic variables, educational background, income, age was shown to correlate with mental health. The research results showed that mental health was better in case of the higher incomes, higher educational background, and lower age. Third, in social network including direction, both out-degree and in-degree were shown to predict old people's physical and mental health. The results of this study suggest that not only out-degree but also in-degree should be considered in predicting the health of elderly persons by a person's human relationship. Also, two indicators of degree are meaningful in the dimension of health promotion and welfare of the old in that they can be used for finding isolated individuals that can be physically and mentally vulnerable.
