Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the role and role burden of caregivers with hospitalized children. Methods: The participants included 149 main caregivers from two pediatric hospitals whose children have been hospitalized for at least 2 days at children's hospital. The data were collected from August 1 to september 30, 2013 using self-report questionnaires of checklist type for caregivers' role and Likert scale for role burden. Results: Role for hospitalized children showed that personal hygiene was the highest, and consultation with nurses and doctors was the lowest in total frequency per day. Of the role for the caregivers themselves and family, personal hygiene was the highest, and home management was the lowest. The degree of role burden perceived by hospitalized children's caregivers was the slightly high. Of the categories, emotional burden was the highest and dependent burden was the lowest. There were differences by caregivers' age, children's age, and children's health status. Conclusion: The caregivers performed various roles, especially more frequently on personal hygiene and nutrition for their hospitalized children and themselves and family, and had slightly high role burden. These results may contribute to develop nursing interventions that can help adapt on hospitalization of children and their caregivers.

Purpose: This study was carried out to provide the basic information for developing intervention programs for volunteers by identifying the burdens felt by hospice volunteers and the factors related to such burdens. Methods: The subjects were 243 hospice volunteers at 8 hospitals of The Catholic University of Korea. A questionnaire was carried out: 25 questions about the burdens to the participants and 47 questions about the quality of life. The data obtained was analyzed using the SAS program to conduct t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Results: 1. The mean total score of the burdens felt by the hospice volunteers was $53.3{\pm}10.4$. There was no significant difference in the level of burden depending on the demographic characteristics of the hospice volunteers. But the burden in care of high education and low quality of life increased significantly. 2. The level of burden to the hospice volunteers decreased significantly as their families more favored their volunteer activities. The subjects felt the highest burden in: family care, physical care spiritual care, emotional care, and after-death care, in this order. 3. The level of burden related to each factors was high in the burden due to patient care, sense of achievement, and volunteer activities, in this order. 4. There was a reverse correlation between the level of burden to hospice volunteers and their quality of life. Conclusion: In order to reduce the burdens to hospice volunteers and to help them tate care of patients more effectively, it would be necessary to provide the education programs about practical patient care problems and to develop measures for improving their quality of life, taking into account their level of education, family's support, and difficulties in their volunteer activities.

컴퓨터 소양 교육은 학교가 안게 된 하나의 새로운 과제가 되었다. 이러한 컴퓨터 소양 교육은 그 교과 내용 자체의 특수성으로 인하여 학습자간의 준비도의 편차가 심하다. 준비도 격차가 큰 학습 내용에 대한 교사와 학습자의 부담감을 줄이기 위해 동료 교수법을 적용해 보았다. 동료 교수법이란 선행 학습자가 후행 학습자를 도와주고, 후행 학습자 역시 선수 학습자를 조력하는 역할을 하는 방법이다. 동료 교수 학습의 기본적인 과정은 '짝 정하기', '역할 정하기', '과제 제시 및 수행', '역할 바꾸기', '피드백'의 순이다. 동료 교수에 적합한 단원을 선정하여 학교재량활동 시간에 지도함으로써 컴퓨터 소양 능력 이외에도 사회성과 책임감, 의사 소통능력, 목표 의식 등에 전반적인 향상이 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of burden of support for unmarried adult children on the depression of married women and the mediating effect of couple conflict in the process. To this end, 1,076 married women with baby boomer husbands and unmarried adult children were extracted based on the data from the 7th year of the Women and Family Panel (KLoWF) and analyzed by using a structural equation. Looking at the results of the analysis, first, the burden of supporting unmarried adult children had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women, and also had a positive(+) effect on couple conflict. Second, it was found that couple conflict had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women. Third, couple conflict was found to play a role as a partial mediator between the burden of supporting unmarried adult children and the feeling of depression. Based on the above findings, the study suggested the various programs to resolve couple conflicts and decrease the depression of married women.

우리나라는 매년 홍수피해가 되풀이되고 있다. 홍수피해는 댐, 제방시설 등의 사전적 예방조치 이외에 보험을 통한 사후적 보상제도가 절대적으로 필요하다. 그러나 국내에는 아직 홍수보험제도가 도입되지 않고 있어 문제가 되고 있다. 피해자의 경우 정부로부터의 최소한의 복구지원금을 받고 있을 뿐이다. 이에 본 고에서는 국내 홍수피해 현황을 살펴보고 홍수보험의 도입방안을 제시한다. 홍수보험의 도입을 위하여 정부, 보험회사 및 주민의 인식전환이 필요하다. 참여주체별 역할에 대해서 살펴보면, 정부는 보험료 일부를 지원하여야 하며, 특히 거대보험사고에 대한 최종 지급보증(재보험회사 역할)을 하여야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 이익추구를 목표로 하는 보험회사가 거대위험에 대한 부담감으로 홍수위험의 인수를 기피하기 때문이다. 물론 보험회사도 홍수보험에 관한 한 어느 정도 사회공익적 차원에서 보험을 운영한다는 자세가 필요하다. 개인도 당연히 자신의 사유시설물에 대한 위험관리의 주체가 되어야 하며, 이를 위하여 보험료를 부담하겠다는 인식 전환이 필요하다.

Given the ongoing discussion regarding remote music therapy following the COVID-19 pandemic and the pivotal role of parental involvement in it, this study investigated parents' perceptions on their roles in a synchronous videoconferencing music therapy for their children with developmental disabilities. A total of 32 participants participated in an online survey comprising 68 questions. Descriptive statistics summarized the collected responses, and Pearson's correlation was conducted to examine the relationship between perceived parental roles, psychological burden, and willingness to participate in future remote music therapy. The findings showed that parents of children with developmental disabilities acknowledged the benefits of tele-music therapy and possessed substantial information about its implementation. Furthermore, they reported their roles of providing physical, participatory, and mediating support. As parents exhibited greater satisfaction with their role in supporting their children's participation or managing their off-task behaviors, they perceived reduced psychological burden. These findings hold significant implications for expansion of tele-music therapy strategies to address the unique needs of children with developmental disabilities and support their parents as immediate mediators for their children.

Adult child caregivers and spousal caregivers might deal with differential challenges. Studies about caregivers' psychological outcomes, however, tended to investigate associations between caregiving and its outcomes by pooling adult child caregivers and spousal caregivers together. By using a U. S. sample of family caregivers who assisted a relative with dementia, this study examined whether the relationship of caregivers to care receivers (daughter caregivers or spousal caregivers) made a difference in levels of depressive symptoms. The result showed that wife caregivers were more likely to be depressed than daughter caregivers. For daughter caregivers, role overload, role captivity, and behavior problems significantly influenced on depression. Besides these variables, the level of education was a significant predictor for wife caregivers. Role captivity and behavior problems significantly impacted on depression for husband caregivers. Thus, role captivity and behavioral problems were common predictors for all the caregivers. Specifically, higher levels of role captivity and behavioral problems were likely to make caregivers more depressed. The implication of these results were discussed.
