Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of quality of life (QoL) based on the 5 dimensions of EQ-5D and predict factors affecting types of QoL. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis using data from the Korean Health Panel Survey-II(2012). Participants were 2,071 middle-aged men who had completed the additional survey in 2012 and the data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and Mplus 5.21 for latent analysis. Results: Three latent classes of QoL were identified: serious (2.4% of the sample), threatened (15.5%), and stable types (82.0%). The types and characteristics of QoL among the latent classes differed. On comparing latent type 1 with latent type 2, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), employment status (p<.05), and subjective health status (p<.001) were found to be significant. On comparing latent type 1 with latent type 3, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), current smoking status (p<.001), and subjective health status (p<.001) were found to be significant. On comparing latent type 2 with latent type 3, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), subjective health status (p<.001), stress (p<.001) were found to be significant. Conclusion: The results showed significant heterogeneity in types of QoL and the predictors of QoL by types were different. These findings provide basic information for developing nursing interventions to improve QoL. Specific characteristics depending on the subtypes should be considered during the development of interventions.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the association between unemployment and depression in people from different age groups ranging from 18 to 65 years old. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. We performed bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression on the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 12 states in the United States. Results: On a sample comprised of n=53,406 individuals, of whom 2,546 (7.8%) were identified as being depressed and 3,448 (10.6%) as unemployed, we found that individuals aged 61~65 years have a lower depression risk compared to those aged 18-25 after adjusting for other variables including employment status. However, people from 61~65 have higher increased risk of depression when unemployed compared to other age groups in all three models tested (3.95 times higher in unemployed people in model 1, and 2.81 times higher in model 2 and model 3). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that there may need to be more focus on older adults who are unemployed, with associated support services for their mental health. The results of our study indicate that although older adults are less likely to be unemployed, there are more likely to experience depression if they are unemployed (once other confounding factors are taken into account) than younger adults. Policies and interventions can be developed to address not only the physical difficulties but also the mental challenges with which older adults can be at risk facing in case of unemployment.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting cardiovascular disease in middle-aged male workers. Methods: The participants were 137 male office workers over 40 years old and under 60 years old working in small- and medium-sized workplaces from three southern provinces of Korea. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires and health screening reports from the 2014 National Health Examination. The influencing factors included general characteristics of participants, anger expression style, and occupational stress. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis with SPSS 22.0. Results: The mean score of risk of cardiovascular disease was 6.73±4.69 and there were significant differences in exercise (t=2.13, p=.035) working time (t=-2.15, p=.034). Logistic regression analysis showed that, when adjusted for exercise and working time, the probability of becoming under a cardiovascular disease risk was 21% higher for those who anger-in (OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.02~1.44, p=.027) and 12% higher for those perceived occupational stress (OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.01~1.24, p=.030). Conclusion: The results suggest developing the strategies for middle-aged male workers to encourage exercise and to decrease occupational stress, as well as an appropriate anger expression style to improve holistic aspect of health considering their demographic characteristics.

건강한 노년을 위하여 중년의 건강을 관리하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 주관적 건강인지와 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 2020년 국민건강영양조사(KNHANES) 제8기 자료를 이용하여 40-59세 중년 여성 1068명의 데이터를 분석하였다. 연구방법은 STATA 15.0을 이용하여 복합표본 평균과 표준편차, 복합표본 가중치 백분율, 복합표본 t-test, 다중회귀분석을 수행 하였다. 주관적 건강과 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 복합공통요인은 교육수준, 가구원수, 우울증, 스트레스이었다. 연령, 폭음, 신체활동은 주관적 건강인지, 보험유형, 취업여부, 수면장애는 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인이었다. 중년기는 노년기로 넘어가는 전 단계로 중년의 주관적 건강 및 건강 관련 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 보건정책 프로그램을 개발하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 직업유무에 따라 노인의 건강상태, 수면 및 우울을 비교하고, 건강상태와 수면이 우울과 관련이 있는지를 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 보건복지가족부가 실시한 "2008 노인실태조사"의 자료를 사용하였으며, 총 조사대상자 15,146명 중 직업이 있는 노인 5,204명과 직업이 없는 노인 9,942명이 최종분석에 이용되었다. 연구결과에 따르면 직업 유무에 따라 건강상태, 수면 및 우울에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 직업이 있는 노인의 경우 직업만족도가 우울에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났으며, 주관적 건강상태, 현재 질병으로 인한 일상생활의 어려움 정도, 숙면을 취한 일수 순서로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 변수들의 우울에 대한 설명력은 29%로 나타났다. 직업이 없는 노인의 경우 주관적 건강상태가 우울에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 현재 질병으로 인한 일상생활의 어려움 정도, 숙면을 취한 일수, 총 수면 시간 순으로 우울에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 이 변수들의 우울에 대한 설명력은 32%로 나타났다. 그러므로 노인의 건강상태, 수면, 우울을 향상시키기 위한 건강증진 중재는 직업유무에 따른 이러한 차이를 고려하여 계획되고 제공되어야 한다.

In order to evaluate the physical and mental health status of airline flight attendants, 136 airline flight attendants were given a general health questionnaire (Todai Health Index), and the prevalence of their subjective complaints was measured. Collected data were classified according to age distribution, length of employment, service area, smoking status, job satisfaction, gender, and marital status. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1 The scores of health complaints of physical items were higher in the oldest group $(age 50\~60)$ than in younger groups. The THI eye and skin symptom scores were significantly higher for the oldest groups than for the younger groups. 2. The health complaints scores of physical items were higher in the long-length employment group (more than 5 years), whereas most scores of mental items were higher in the short- length employment group (less than 2 years). The THI mouth and anus scores for the long-length employment group were significantly higher than for groups of workers who had been employed for a shorter time. 3. THI scores were higher for domestic airline crews, dissatisfied workers and females. 4. The irregular life THI score was significantly higher among domestic crews than international crews. 5. The impulsiveness and depression scores were significantly higher in the dissatisfaction group. 6. The female group showed higher scores in the multiple subjective symptoms, mental irritability, depression, and irregular life categories. 7, The THI scores of the mouth, anus and nervousness were significantly higher for the married group than for the unmarried group. In summary, this study shows that the health complaints scores of physical and mental symptoms tended to be higher among the aged group, domestic airline crews, the dissatisfaction group, and females. These results can be used for improving the psychosomatic health status and working environments of flight attendants.

시대적 변화의 흐름 속에서 고용자 고용을 위한 어떤 가능성을 찾아낼 수 있는가에 대해서 면밀한 검토를 해 볼 필요가 있지만, 현 고령자 고용정책은, 거세어지는 외부의 압력에 의해서 빠른 변화만을 요구받으면서, 노동만을 강조하고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 현재 우리나라에서 새롭게 논의되고 있는 고령자 일자리 전략은 크게 두 가지이다. 하나는 일자리 연장 방식이며, 다른 하나는 사회적 일자리 방식이다. 일자리 연장의 방식의 경우, 유연적 삶이 노년기의 이상적 사회로 간주되면서 안정화의 필요성이 간과되는 양상을 보이고 있다. 사회적 일자리의 경우, 사회통합의 의미는 배제된 채 잔여적 복지의 일환으로 협소하게 해석되어 적용되고 있다. 이러한 고령자 고용정책의 한계는 연령차별주의와 경제우선주의가 맞물려서 이루어지고 있으며, 이 두 가지 논리에 의해서 고령자의 삶의 질은 간과되고 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 시대변화에 따른 현 고령자고용정책의 비판을 통해, 고령자의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 강조되어야 할 것은 무엇인지를 살펴보고, 이에 따른 새로운 방향을 제시해 보고자한다. 연령 차별적 논리와 경제우선주의를 극복하고, 사회통합을 지향하는 새로운 이념적 틀로, 본 고에서는 시민권(citizenship)의 원리를 제시하였다. 노동생활의 지속성을 유지하기 위해서는 기본적으로 생존권과 건강권이, 그리고 질적인 향상을 위해서는 평생학습권의 보장이 전제되어야 할 것이다. 시민권에 대한 논의는 기존의 경제논리에 묶여 있던 고령자 고용정책에서 새로운 차원으로 전환되어야 함을 역설하고 그 정당성을 확보해 주는 데 의의가 있다.
