This is an empirical study that analyzes factors affecting the work-family compatibility of female wage workers with underage children. The analysis was conducted with 1,113 women from the 7th wave of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women & Families by Korean Women's Development Institute. As for research methods, multiple regression analysis was used in order to analyze the effects of 'social support(home support, maternity protection support, childcare and education services)', 'job characteristics', 'socio-demographic variables' and 'husband characteristics' on 'work-family compatibility and conflict'. As a result, it was analyzed that the husband's support for work life, gender inequality at work and women's educational training were the factors that strengthen work-family compatibility. It was also analyzed that gender inequality, use of childcare and education facility, number of underage children, age of husband, husband's satisfaction with caring support and husband's support for work life were the factors that cause conflict between work and family. Thus, if the policy of strengthening the work-family compatibility is a long-term policy, it appears that it is necessary to supplement and strengthen policies that can reduce conflict factors in the short term. It is hoped that the results of the study will be used as objective and academic data to strengthen the maternity protection and work-family compatibility of female workers with underage children.

This study set out to investigate if work-family conflict and work-family enhancement would have mediating effects on the impact of gender role attitudes of women from double income households on their satisfaction of work and marriage. A structural modelof gender role attitudes was set as the independent variable, work-family conflict and work-family enhancement as the mediating variables, and work satisfaction and marriage satisfaction as the dependent variables. The subjects consisted of 2,713 married women from double income households and information was obtained from the first year data of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families (KLoWF) collected by the Korean Women's Development Institute (KWDI). Using SPSS 15.0 software, descriptive statistics were gathered, and frequency and factor analyses were conducted. AMOS 7.0 software was used to analyze both the measurement model and the structural model. The results indicate that work-family conflict and work-family enhancement had partial mediating effects on the impacts of gender role attitudes on work and marriage satisfaction among women from double income households. Notably, work-family enhancement had a greater effect than work-family conflict, which suggests that the elements of work-family enhancement, which are the positive aspects of work on family and family on work, should be promoted. It is, however, also important to make efforts to resolve work-family conflict by increasing the satisfaction level of work and marriage among women from double income households.

한국의 농촌 보건의료 문제를 해결 하기위하여 일차보건의료가 도입되었으며 일차보건의료에서 핵심적인 역할을 수행하고 있는 보건진료원의 활동을 분석하였다. 분석 목적은 보건진료원의 일반현황과 보건진료원 활동에 대한 구체적인 분석을 통하여 활동개선 방안을 제시하는데있다. 분석방법은 사회조사 방법을 적용하였으며 조사는 1998년 7월과 11월기간에 구조화된 설문지를 보건진료원 전원에게 송부하여 스스로 작성하게 하였다. 1880명의 보건진료원을 대상으로 설문지를 배포하였으며, 1663명의 응답자가 작성한 설문지가 최종분석되었으므로 분석율은 88.5%였다. 분석결과 보건진료원의 일반현황으로 광역사의 보건진료원 평균 연령은 39.7세이며 시지역 보건진료원의 연령이 군지역보다 높았으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 총근무기간도 시지역의 보건진료원의 12.4년-13.6년으로 농촌지역보다 걸었으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 보건진료원의 평균 관할 인구수는 901명이었다. 보건진료소 관할지역의 노인인구 및 만성질환자의 분포가 매우 높았다. 보건진료소로부터 민간의료기관이 위치한 거리는 시지역 (7.1-11.3km) 보다 농촌지역이 12.1km로서 지리적 접근성이 시지역보다 낫은 것으로 나타났다. 활동건수분석결과 월평균 가정방문수는 평균 47.8건, 일평균 내소자수는 14.1건 및 일평균 전화상담은 5.2건으로 나타났다. 연령별 활동수준은 40세이상이 4세 이하보다 월평균 가정방문수와 일평균 내소자수가 많았으며 통계적요로도 유의한 차이가 있었다. 경력이 많을수록 일평균가정 방문수 및 전화상담 건수가 많았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 근무조건에 대한 만족도는 80%정도로 높았다. 연구결과 보건진료원의 활동지역내 노인인구 및 만성질환자의 비율이 높고 민간의료기관의 지리적 접근성도 낮고, 관할인구규모가 적어서 인구규모를 늘리고 노인 및 만성질환자 건강관리 프로그램의 개발이 더욱 요구되며 농촌지역주민의 건강관리자로서 보건진료원의 활동을 강화할 필요가 있다.
