This study aims to investigate the female caregivers'experiences of aggression by nursing home residents, and to identify the policy strategies for violence prevention referred by the female caregivers. A total of 121 female caregivers with more than 6 months of working experiences had participated in this study. Of these, 56.2% had experienced verbal aggression, 51.2% physical aggression, and 27.3% sexual aggression, which reveals that client violence toward caregivers in nursing homes was at an alarming level. Although, physical and verbal violences were mostly caused unintentionally, about a half of the sexual aggression were caused deliberately. Aggression occurred the most when caregivers were providing the following services: changing the diapers or clothes, giving a bath, and serving meals. It was found that 'hitting' was the most common form of physical aggression and it was 'swearing' and 'touching or physical contacting' in the case of verbal and sexual aggression, respectively. Though there was a difference depending on the type of aggression, the most frequent reactions against client violence were to start a conversation or calm down the nursing home residents, and to leave the scene or ignore the incident. This means that the caregivers are coping very passively through resolving the aggressions by themselves, or overlooking the situation. The most frequently recommended strategy to prevent resident aggression was to provide educational programs on violence prevention to nursing home residents and caregivers(42.7%). Compared to the previous studies, this study indicates some differentiated strategies to prevent violence in nursing homes, which include hiring male caregivers, assuring directors to pay closer attention toward caregivers, using refined language between caregivers and residents, and keeping caregivers to wear appropriate clothes. Based on the study results, some policy recommendations on the prevention of client violence in nursing homes were suggested.

최근 학교폭력 및 묻지마 범죄가 꾸준히 증가추세에 있다. 2011년 12월 학교폭력에 의한 대구중학생 자살사건, 2010년 2월 김길태 사건과 6월 김수철 사건, 2016년 5월 강남역 노래방 살인사건과 6월 섬마을 여교사 사건 등 사회적 약자인 소년, 여성 대상범죄 및 묻지마 범죄가 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 범죄예방 도구이자 전략으로써 CPTED가 하나의 대안으로 부각되고 있다. 국토교통부는 건축물, 건축설비 및 대지에 관한 범죄예방 기준인 '범죄예방 건축기준 고시'를 2015년부터 시행하고 있는데 적용대상 건물 등은 이 기준에 따라 설계하고 건축해야 한다. 현대 위험사회에서 강력범죄 및 경범죄의 사전예방을 위해서는 사회 안전시스템 구축이 요구되며 그 대안으로 환경설계를 통해 범행기회를 심리적, 물리적으로 차단하는 정책을 모색함으로써 환경범죄학 입장에서 범죄예방에 접근할 필요가 있다.

This study was conducted to evaluate nursing students' experiences with violence, as well as their responses and behaviors subsequent to being subjected to violence. A descriptive survey was conducted and data were collected from April 30 to July 6, 2012. Responses were obtained from the 290 nursing students studying at six universities in four cities using self-administered questionnaires. About 91% of the students were subjected to violence. Verbal violence (85.2%) was the most frequently encountered type of violence, followed by physical threats (74.8%), sexual violence (41.0%), and physical violence (26.2%). Participants were abused by patients or patients' family members, as well as clinical staff, such as nurses and doctors. After the nursing students were exposed to violence, they responded more negatively to psychological aspects than to biophysical or social aspects. Most students did "not react to the person inflicting violence and continued clinical practice" (51.7%), and this response was cited by students as their most frequently used method of coping (79.5%) after violent confrontations. Strategies should be taken to prevent the violence inflicted upon nursing students in clinical settings, and nursing students should be provided with information related to communication and methods to cope with violence during their education.

여성건강은 개인 뿐만 아니라 가족, 사회, 국가적으로 대단히 중요하다. 왜냐하면 미래사회의 자원인 인간을 출산하고 양육하는 것과 직접적으로 관련이 있기 때문이다. 여성은 스스로 자신의 몸을 지키고 건강행위를 위한 결정을 할 수 있어야 한다. 특히 출산과 관련하여 여성은 자신의 건강을 유지 증진 할 수 있는 능력이 있어야 한다. 한나라의 발전수준은 모자보건의 수준으로 결정하며 영아 사망률과 모성사망률은 국가 발전의 수준을 대표한다. 본 연구는 한국의 여성과 어린이 건강 실태를 살펴보았다. 모성사망률과 영아사망률은 여성의 산전간호 수진률의 증가와 영아 예방접종률의 증가로 점차 감소하고 있다. 그러나 모유수유률의 감소와 영아의 사고발생률이 증가하는 것은 자라나는 어린이의 건강을 위협한다. 어린이 사고는 환경과 돌보는 어른들의 부주의에 의해서 발생되는 경우가 대부분이므로 어린이 사고를 방지하고 모유수유률을 증가시키는 예방전략이 필요하다. 여성의 흡연, 음주, 약물의 사용이 증가하는 것과 여성폭력이 증가하는 것은 여성건강을 위협하는 중요한 요인이다. 또한 식습관 장애와 같은 잘못된 건강행위는 여성의 건강을 위협할 뿐 아니라 자녀출산에도 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 여성과 어린이의 건강을 유지 증진하기 위해서는 여성이 여성으로서의 인식을 가지고 건강관리기관을 찾고 건강관리를 할 수 있는 능력을 가져야 한다. 그러므로 간호사를 비롯한 의료인은 여성이 스스로 판단하고 결정하고 자가간호 할 수 있는 힘과 의지와 정보를 제공해야 한다. 이를 위해 여성건강전문간호사가 필요하다. 또한 국가와 사회단체(NGO)가 함께 여성건강이 국가적인 사업임을 인식하고 지원과 관심을 기울여야 한다.

This study is to find out empirically how the fear of crime is affected by the level of recognition of people. CPTED elements including natural surveillance, access control, utilization enhancement, territoriality securement, etc. Safety of residents could be considered and then increased when we plan, design, and operate a city. In Korea, CPTED is currently being applied to every town. However, it is not systemized and neither efficient, for there are no constraint provisions, and the foreign cases are not specifically customized to the current situation of the country. This study, therefore, aims to find the limits from analyzing related laws and regimes, administrative regulations, and applied cases, and to deduct improvement plans based on examined foreign cases.
