Objective : The main purpose of this study was to analyze factors affecting a health related quality of life(HRQOL) in the elderly stroke patients with(Group 1) or without(Group 2) sequela. Methods : This survey performed secondary analysis with 'the fifth korea national health and nutrition examination survey', and investigated 91 elderly stroke patients over 65 years. Results : The results were as followed: HRQOL and self rated health had a significantly lower in Group 1(p<.05). In all groups, HRQOL was affected by self rated health(${\beta}=0.39$), mental health, and medical health significantly(p<.05). In group 1, HRQOL was affected by mental health(${\beta}=0.45$), self rated health significantly(p<.05). In group 2, HRQOL was affected by medical health(${\beta}=0.45$), functional health, mental health significantly(p<.05). Conclusion : In order to improve the HRQOL of stroke patients during rehabilitative therapy, it is important that early detection and early intervention of depression and suicide, which affect mental health status, are important in the case of severe aftereffects. If the patient continues to support his/her current status regardless of aftereffects, he/she can improve the HRQOL with functional recovery of the stroke patient, and finally have a positive effect on the independence of the stroke patients.

The study subjects were 131 elderly people living alone who lived in "G" city. Symptom Check List-90-Revision(SCL-90-R) was used to measure mental health level. The results of this study were as follows. First, the study subjects' mental health level(3.53, 5 rating scale) was very severe and this means the mental health level of elderly people living alone is more severe than the mental health level of general elderly people. The study subjects showed depression symptom most seriously and also had severe somatization symptom. Second, there was significant difference in mental health level by gender and education level among socio-demographic factors. Third, in the final regression model, statistically significant factors impacting on the mental health level of the elderly people living alone were life satisfaction, ADL, IADL, welfare service support, informal support, contact frequency with children, duration of living alone, subjective state of economy.

여성들은 창업을 계획하고 실행할 때 여성이라는 이유로 크고 작은 문제들에 직면하게 되고, 이것이 여성 창업과 여성 기업의 발전에 장애가 되고 있다. 이에 경쟁력 있는 여성 기업이 설립되고 성장할 수 있도록 현실감 있고 효과성 있는 다양한 정책과 지원 제도가 마련되어야할 것이다. 그러기 위해 여성창업과 창업교육에 대한 현 상황과 선행 연구들에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 여성 창업과 경영에 대한 연구는 여성창업자 개인에 대한 연구와 더불어 여성창업자를 둘러싼 사회. 문화적 배경의 영향까지 고민해야 할 것이다. 여성창업자가 창업을 하고 성장을 하는데 영향을 미치는 요인들에는 개인의 내적인 특성과 환경적인 특성의 여러 요인들이 통합적으로 고려되어야 한다는 관점에 근거하여 환경적 요인으로는 사회적 지지를 그리고 개인의 내적 특성으로는 기업가정신과 셀프리더십을 선정하였다. 여성창업자의 창업효능감과 창업의지에 영향을 주는 요인들에 대한 연구를 통해 사회적으로 여성창업자에게 관심을 가져주고 지지해주며, 창업교육과 창업단계별로 필요한 것을 지원해주는 것의 중요성을 재차 알리고 그 방안을 마련하는데 도움이 될 수 있는 기초 자료로 제공하고자 한다. 여성의 창업효능감과 창업의지는 단순히 창업 교육으로만 향상될 수 있는 것이 아니라 사회적지지 또한 더불어 중요함을 이번 연구를 통해서 다시 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relations among the quality of life, health states, physical functions, cognitive functions, and social supports of the elderly at care facilities. The subjects include the elderly that were living in care facilities in some urban areas and aged 65 or older. The data of total 260 old people were used in analysis. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. The elderly at care facilities, who were considered as physically and cognitive vulnerable, scored higher means on quality of life when they were satisfied with the length of stay and sleeping state, had higher subjective health states, had no tooth inconvenience and forgetfulness, suffered from a lower level of depression, had better cognitive functions, and received higher social supports. Quality of life had correlations with the sleeping state(r=-.20, p<.001), subjective health state(r=-.24, p<.001)s, depression(r=-.30, p<.001), and social supports(r=.30, p<.001). Social supports(${\beta}=.30$, p<.001), depression(${\beta}=-.25$, p<.001), subjective health states(${\beta}=-.22$, p<.001), length of stay(${\beta}=-.22$, p<.001), and sleeping state(${\beta}=-.12$, p=.025) turned out to predict the quality of life of the elderly at care facilities and have close relations with it. In short, the quality of life of the elderly is related to many different factors at care facilities. The findings indicate that nursing interventions and managements for quality of life require a mental and social approach or a whole person approach with a focus on the understanding of individual senior citizens rather than on physical activities and diseases.

동아시아 경제권의 국가들 중에서도 한국과 중국의 잠재적 기업가정신을 측정하고 양국 잠재적 기업가정신에 영향을 미치는 문화적 요인에 대해 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 잠재적 기업가라고 여길 수 있는 한국과 중국의 대학생들을 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 210명의 한국 대학생들과 157명의 중국 대학생들이 본 설문에 응하였다. 설문은 크게 두 가지 영역으로 구분되어 있는데, 개인의 기업가적 지향성을 측정하기 위한 질문과 개인의 기업가적 성향에 영향을 주는 문화적 요인들을 측정하는 질문으로 나누어져 있다. 개인의 기업가적 지향성을 측정하기 위하여 자기통제력(Locus of Control)과 혁신성(Innovativeness)을 묻는 세부 질문을 만들었고, 문화적 요인을 측정하기 위해서 대학생들이 느끼는 경제적자유(Economic Freedom), 개인주의(Individualism) 그리고 불확실성 회피성(Uncertatinty Avoidance)의 정도를 묻는 질문을 만들어 설문을 실시하였다. 첫 번째 연구가설은 '한국의 대학생들이 경제적 자유, 개인주의, 불확실성 회피성이 더 높다고 인식한다'이며, 두 번째 연구가설은 '경제적 자유가 보장되고 더 개인주의적인 문화에서 기업가적 성향이 더 높게 나타나며 확실성 회피성이 높을수록 기업가적 성향은 더 낮게 나타난다, 세 번째 연구가설은 '한국 대학생들의 기업가적 지향성 정도가 중국 대학생들의 그것보다 더 높다'이다. 설문조사는 가설과는 다른 결과를 보여주고 있다. 중국의 대학생들이 한국의 대학생들 보다 자국의 문화에 대해 더 경제적 자유가 보장되며 개인주의적이라는 인식을 가지고 있었다. 불확실성 회피성에 있어서는 가설과 동일하게 중국 대학생들보다 한국의 대학생들이 자국에 대해 불확실성 회피성이 더 높다고 인식하고 있다. 또한 양국의 대학생들은 기업가정신 형성에 있어서 각각 다른 문화적 변수에 의해서 영향을 받는다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 한국의 대학생들은 경제적 자유의 정도에 의해 영향을 받으며, 중국의 대학생들은 불확실성 회피성에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 마지막으로, 세 번째 가설과 달리 기업가적 지향성은 중국의 대학생들이 한국의 대학생들보다 더 높은 수치를 보인다. 혁신성에 있어서는 양국 대학생들 간의 유의한 차이를 발견하기 어려웠으나 내재적 통제력에 있어서 중국의 대학생들은 한국의 대학생들보다 높은 수치를 나타냈다.

The major findings of the study were as follows; (1) parental conflict has had more damaging effects on children's mental health than those of single-parent families. (2) Parents in high conflict families had most negative parenting behaviors. (3) Controlled for other variables including parenting behaviors, parental conflict had no longer negative effects on children's mental health Implications of results for theory, research, and policy are discussed.

This study examined the effects of curiosity, the personal characteristics of start-up founders, on entrepreneurship. Among the various factors that make up the entrepreneurship, this study identified the relationship between the practical factors (challenge, innovativeness, competition) and the founder's curiosity. Based on previous studies, curiosity was divided into four individual factors: deficiency, playfulness, social curiosity, and stimulus pursuit. For each individual factor, we analyzed meaningful relationship with entrepreneurship. In addition, the founders were classified into those who simply think of starting a business, those preparing to start a business, and those who started the business. Each group was analyzed their degree of curiosity. The data were analyzed based on the final 248 data for entrepreneurs who are preparing or starting their own business in Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. Analysis shows that curiosity is higher in those who prepare or start a business than those who think about it. Curiosity has been found to have a positive effect on both the challenge, the innovation, and the composition of the competition. In addition, in entrepreneurship, the challenge was found to have a positive effect on innovation, but it did not affect competition composition. The characteristics of individual factors of curiosity were also different, and there was a significant effect of deficiency and playfulness on challenge, social curiosity and stimulus pursuit on innovation, and stimulus pursuit on competition. These findings are significant in identifying and analyzing curiosity as a factor influencing entrepreneurship. The results of the analysis can help theoretical expansion of entrepreneurship. In addition, it can provide important implications for the direction of entrepreneurship education and program development among volunteer activities for prospective entrepreneurs.
