  • 각종 성인병은 단순히 '질병' 이라는 의학적 개념을 넘어 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 한창 일할 나이에 각종 성인병으로 인해 일어나는 피해는 환자본인뿐 아니라 사회적으로도 큰 손실임에 틀림없다. 그 성인병의 원인 중 가장 큰 요인이 바로 비만이다. 가정과 사회에 평화를 가져다줄 수 있는 방법, 바로 살을 잘 다스리면 된다.

  • This study examines and compares public library services for immigrants in the U.S. in the early 1900s and nowadays. U.S. public libraries in the early 1900s supported the Americanizing movement by opening English language classes and providing information that is essential for U.S. citizenship. Public librarians also recognized the importance of foreign language materials; by providing foreign language materials and developing diverse services to reach immigrants, public libraries eventually hastened assimilation processes. Despite a gap of one hundred years, the situation today is not very different. Public libraries still try hard to serve their ethnic patrons with extensive foreignlanguage collections and culturally diverse library programs, while still emphasizing English language education.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of social capital in regards to the influence that family income and job status have on the level of satisfaction with family relationships among married immigrant women. We conducted the second analysis of "2009 National Survey of Multicultural Family State" and used moderated regression analyses. Controlled variables included age, education level, offspring status, and Korean proficiency, while independent factors included family income and job status. Moderating variables of social capital included trust, participation, and network. The results showed that all the demographic variables, as well as family income and job status, had significant influences on married immigrant women's satisfaction with family relationships. In particular, when factors of social capital interacted with family income and job status, the study showed that it had a different influence on the satisfaction with family relationships. Moreover, the moderating effects have been shown to be more certified through its comparison of the increasing and decreasing trends of social capital. This research has been shown to be significant, based upon the findings on moderating effects of social capital in respect to married immigrant women's level of satisfaction with family relations. Practical implications of our results in the context of social welfare were discussed.

  • This study examines how married immigrant women's social networks affect their life satisfaction in Korea. A multiple-regression analysis is conducted using data from Nationwide Multicultural Family Survey in 2009. The major findings are as follows. First, the frequency of keeping in touch with their family in the mother country significantly affects the level of satisfaction, while the family size in Korea is not making a significant difference. Second, the strength of "Korean Network" - strong bridging network - is highlighted. Third, family gathering variables affect the level of satisfaction. An interesting point is found from the nationality segmentation. The case of women from Japan, with the longest duration in Korea, shows that both of the family and the non-family gathering variables significantly affect the life satisfaction. It is interpreted that family network dominates in the earlier stage of marriage, but the other social networks also play the role as the duration extends.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 유방자가검진(BSE)의 지식정도, 훈련도, 숙련도 및 빈도와의 관계를 파악하고, BSE 빈도를 가장 잘 예측하는 변수를 결정하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 미국에 이민 온 40세-60세 사이의 중년 여성 58명으로 와싱톤주의 시애틀과 타코마 지역에 거주하고 있었다. 연구도구는 미국암협회의 BSE 안내책자를 기초로 하여 개발하였다. 자료는 자가보고형 질문지를 이용하여 한국교회 4곳으로부터 연구의 취지를 설명하고 연구대상자들의 연구동의를 얻은 후 우편으로 질문지를 회수하였다. 자료수집 기간은 2000년 3월 6일부터 2000년 5월13일이었으며. 질문지 회수율은 77%이었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS를 이용하여 Frequency, Percentage, Pearson correlation, Regression analysis로 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 주요 변수사이의 관련성에서 그 이전연구 결과와 대개 일치하였다. 대상자의 BSE 빈도는 년간 10회-12회 실행이 21.08%이였고, 전혀 실행하지 않는 정도가 4.80%를 차지했다. BSE 빈도와 관련변수와의 상관관계에서 나이는 BSE 빈도와 역상관 관계(r=-.289, p=.038)를 나타냈고, BSE 훈련에 대한 지도(r=0521, p=.000). BSE 지식에 대한 기술(r=.573, p=.000) 및 BSE 숙련도(R=.694 P=.000)는 BSE 빈도와 정상관 관계를 보였다. 회귀분석 결과는 BSE 빈도의 가장 유의한 예측변수로서 BSE 지식에 대한 기술(beta=.5813. p=.003)로 지지되었다. 이 연구의 의의는 지역사회간호사가 이민 온 한국 중년여성들의 BSE실행에 대한 이해를 높임으로 유방암의 조기발견에 대한 예방적 행위를 증진시키는 데 유용한 기초 자료로 제공될 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the cases of social integration in immigrants in the Netherlands and to clarify the implications for Korea. The Netherlands is a country that implements social integration policies targeting foreign immigrants. We are preemptively implementing social integration policies for foreigners ahead of us. In this study, first of all, the literature on social integration for the immigrants in the Netherlands and the consultation on the experts were sought and the implications for the Dutch government 's social integration policy were sought. In addition, policy implications were derived based on the results of Dutch case analysis. First, the social integration program of the Dutch government mandated social integration programs for migrants, and the costs were also monetized, encouraging social integration. Also, when participation in the social integration program is passive, it imposes sanctions on migrants and emphasizes the responsibility of individual migrants. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the control tower of the government's promotion system, and it has a platform for the unity of social integration programs in local governments. Based on the results of this analysis, the implications for the social integration policy of Korea were suggested.

  • To explore the device to allow the marriage immigrants' family to take jobs in our country, the social and economic environments that they face are investigated and analyzed through literature survey and field inquiry. The principal motive of the marriage to Korean is economic problem. But their actual economic conditions are inferior, and other legal problems, such as getting jobs and remitting money to their home country, drive them to unstable status. The present hiring policy is applied only to foreign workers with no domestic relations(E-9), hence the marriage immigrants are excluded from the domestic employment. To make institutional devices for giving them the employment opportunity, the modification of the existing laws are proposed. For examples, the 'Act on employment of foreign workers' can be revised to permit immigrant's relatives to get jobs, and 'Immigration control law' can be amended to guarantee legal qualification for taking jobs. It is desirable that the overall control be made by the Prime Minister's Office, and operation as well as surveillance be performed by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MGEF) and the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MEL).
