The purpose of this research was to investigate the most critical variables in the school adjustment of youth. In addition, this research assessed the impact of variables according to the categorization of individual, family, and school domains. To acquire the effect sizes, published studies between 1990 and 2012 were reviewed systematically and synthesized by meta-analysis. The major findings were as follows. First, this study identified a total of 34 variables which can have an influence on the school adjustment of youth and confirmed that 24 of those variables are significant. The most crucial variable that can influence school adjustment is that of a teacher's support. The next most important variables are self-resilience, relationships with friends, and self-efficiency. Focusing on the categorized elements, self-resilience is the most critical variable in the individual domain, the parent-child relation is the most crucial variable in the family domain, and a teacher's support is the most powerful variable in the school domain. Based on these results, this study suggested a number of the indispensable components in interventions to improve the youth's adjustment in school.

Over the past few decades, the proportion of elderly people in Korea has been rapidly increasing. In particular, rural areas are experiencing aging of communities more rapidly compared to urban areas. However, public policy for the elderly does not respond to the needs of rural elderly. To distribute health care resources equitably, it is necessary to gather reliable information on the health status of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to explore factors affecting Korean elderly people's ADL functional status. The data sources are from 2004 Elderly Living Condition Survey. The Analysis sample consists of 3,278 cases. Analysis results show that there is a significant residential variability in education, monthly stipend, living arrangement, subjective health status, regular food in-take, and regular exercise. Logistic regression analysis results also show that 'cognitive ability'(exp(B)=6.603), 'subjective health status'(exp(B)=4.576), 'age'(exp(B)=2.610), and 'living arrangement'(exp(B)=.589) are factors affecting ADLs. Namely, when a respondent's cognitive ability is limited, subjective health status is poor, or if their age is over 75, the probability of having a limited ADL has been 6.6 times, 4.6 times, and 2.6 times higher than otherwise. Among these variables, cognitive ability was the best explanation. In contrast, respondents who live with a spouse or adult children have a lower probability of having limited ADL compared with those who live alone. Considering that the most critical criteria in determining eligibility for social welfare services is ADLs, the development of appropriate ADL assessment tools is in an urgent need. Without the accurate assessment on ADLs, particularly on rural as well as the urban elderly, it seems to be hard to achieve effectiveness in the health care policy for the elderly.

본 연구는 한국노동패널조사 자료를 이용하여 과거의 고용형태와 직종 그리고 생애근로기간 등이 노후의 빈곤여부 및 경제적 상태에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 노후 빈곤에 관한 기존 연구들은 성별, 연령과 같이 노후 빈곤이 발현된 이후의 대리변수들에만 관심을 갖고 직접적 원인인 과거의 노동경험이 노후빈곤에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 간과하였다. 분석결과, 최종 직종과 고용형태가 노후 빈곤 및 경제적 상태에 매우 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 성별이나 결혼형태 등은 과거 노동경험의 영향을 통제할 경우 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 드러났다. 이처럼 과거 노동경험이 노후빈곤과 직접적으로 연관되어 있기 때문에 현행 공적연금의 급여를 기여에 기초한 것 뿐 아니라 시민권에 기초한 급여형태로 전환하여 노후빈곤을 방지하여야 할 것이다.

한국이 초고령사회로 진입하면서 노인 복지에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있으나 현재 복지 인력 부족이 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 노인의 사회적 고립감 완화와 위급 상황 시 비상 연락 등의 기능을 하는 노인 돌봄 로봇이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 기능들은 사용자의 접촉이 있어야만 작동하여 기존 노인 돌봄 로봇의 한계점으로 자리 잡고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 문제를 해결하기 위해 상용화된 노인 돌봄 로봇과 카메라를 통해 직접적인 접촉 없이도 사용자와 상호작용할 수 있는 돌봄 로봇 시스템을 제안한다. 돌봄 로봇에 연결된 엣지 디바이스에 표정 인식 모델과 행동 인식 모델을 탑재하였고, 공공데이터를 통해 모델의 학습 및 성능검증을 진행했다. 실험 결과를 통해 표정 인식과 행동 인식의 성능이 각각 정확도 96.5%, 90.9%인 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 수행 시간의 경우에는 각각 50ms, 350ms인 것을 확인할 수 있다. 해당 결과는 제안한 시스템의 표정 및 행동 인식 정확도가 높고 추론 시간이 효율적임을 확인하며, 이는 비접촉 상황에서도 원활한 상호작용을 가능하게 한다.

Hospice palliative care (HPC) in Korea has developed steadily since its introduction in 1965. Currently, HPC in Korea is targeted only towards terminal cancer patients and their families, and the national health insurance scheme covers only inpatient hospice care for said patients. In recent years, healthcare professionals and policy makers began to recognize the need for HPC services in diverse settings including outside hospital boundaries, and for all terminally-ill patients. A law on HPC passed in January 2016 allows terminally-ill patients to refuse life-sustaining treatments, and will likely facilitate further development of HPC services. It is critical for the government and all interested parties in the medical, academic and social sectors to collaborate to ensure its success once it takes effect in 2017. This article will briefly review the half-century history of HPC in Korea, and discuss how to prepare for and cope with death and, thereby, improve the quality of death.

본 연구는 사이버윤리와 관련된 2002년부터 2012년까지의 국내 연구들을 메타 분석하였다. 가장 연구가 활발한 연구 분야는 교육학분야로 나타났고, 그 외의 분야로는 법학, 신문방송학, 철학, 사회복지학, 사회학, 행정학, 경영학, 심리학 순이었다. 사이버 윤리는 각 전공분야별로 중점적인 연구 영역이 다르게 나타났다. 사이버연구 분석결과 사이버 공간의 특수성을 반영한 윤리이론 개발이 미흡하고, 대부분의 연구들이 기존의 윤리 철학적 범주를 벗어나지 못하는 경향을 보이는 것이 문제점으로 지적된다. 사이버윤리에 대한 연구의 경향이 추상적인 도덕규범 정립에 그치는 것도 문제점으로 볼 수 있다. 또한 새롭게 등장하는 정보인권에 대한 인식 또한 부족하여 실천적 생활윤리에 관한 연구가 미흡하였다. 향후 연구에 있어서 사이버 공간의 정보인권적 윤리의식이 제고되어야 하고, 학제간의 융합적인 연구의 필요성도 요청된다.

Purpose: This is a qualitative descriptive study with the purpose of identifyng the health problems and related factors of socially vulnerable school-age children in Seoul, South Korea. Methods: Two focus group interviews and two individual interviews were conducted with eleven participants. They were two class teachers, three school nurses and two daycare teachers working at elementary schools and three social workers and a welfare worker working at community childcare centers. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The identified psychosocial problems were 'distracting and excessive behavior', 'depression and helplessness,' 'aggression and violent behaviors', and 'internet overdependence'. The revealed physical health problems were 'poor hygiene', 'obesity', and 'gastrointestinal problems'. In addition, the fact that physical and psychosocial problems are closely inter-linked was reaffirmed through practical examples. Meanwhile, socioeconomic, family environmental, social experiential and individual factors were found to affect children's health. Relationships within a family or a peer group and healthy lifestyle were considered critical issues to deal with in order to improve the childrens' health status. Conclusion: It was proved that socially vulnerable school-age children have various physical and mental health problems due to multiple factors. Therefore, it is required to design nursing approaches that help them achieve optimal health status.

Background: The death rate of workers due to industrial accidents in South Korea (3.61 persons in 2017) is higher than the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development average (2.43) and the fifth highest among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development member countries. Although the pandemic of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has changed, the socioeconomic aspects of Korean society, the number of Koreans suffering accidents and the number of deaths in 2020 have increased. It is necessary to take measures to prevent accidents and make comprehensive efforts to return to work. This study proposes research questions about the effect of workers' positive perception on whether to work after accidents and the impact of the experience of rehabilitation services on the return to work. Methods: This research performed a panel logistic regression analysis using data on workers' compensation insurance in Korea for two years (2018-2019). Results: This research finds that workers' positive perceptions of workability and life satisfaction contributed affirmatively to their re-employment. Several factors related to employment (e.g., work period, the number of job qualifications) also positively affect their return to work. However, the experience of rehabilitation services did not have a significant effect on re-employment. The variables of their health conditions (e.g., disability grade, feelings of health problems, age) negatively influenced their return to jobs. Conclusion: These results suggest the importance of workers' mental recovery and the need to innovate rehabilitation services for their employment. Positive thinking and self-rehabilitation could be critical for workers, parallel with social welfare policies.
