Purpose: This study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and educational needs for sexuality of the elderly. Method: This was a descriptive study, in which data were collected from February to April 2002 from 354 elderly who were residing in Chung-Chung province. Result: 1. The level of knowledge regarding sexuality was below average. 2. The level of the attitudes toward sexuality of the elderly was neither positive nor negative. 3. The educational needs of the elderly were above average. 4. Higher level of knowledge on sexuality was significantly correlated with more positive attitudes and education needs for sexuality, and more positive attitudes toward sexuality was significantly correlated with more educational needs for sexuality. Conclusion: Particularly men, with good health, and those who were in intimate relationships with their spouses and still engaged with active sexual life showed somewhat higher level of knowledge and positive attitudes as well as higher educational needs. Therefore, further development and applying of sexuality promotion programs for healthy elder couples should be considered in the future to enhance the quality of life of elder population. In addition, it is also suggested to develop an alternative intervention program on sexuality for elderly who are women, those with meager health, and the bereaved.

This study explores supportive and conflictual network structures of elderly single and couple households and analyzes the effects of supportive and conflictual networks on suicidal thoughts by gender and family type. The analysis considered a sample of 522 individuals over the age of 60 who did not live with their adult children. The statistical methods used to analyze data were descriptive statistics, a t-test, a chi-square test and a regression analysis using SPSS WIN 20.0. The results are as follows. First, men and elderly single households had support networks that were smaller than those of women and elderly couple households. The conflictual network of elderly couples households was larger than that of elderly single households. In addition, the larger the network, the more the conflictual was. Second, elderly single households thought about suicide more often than elderly couple households. Third, economic status, the number of adult children, the size of conflictual network and subjective health had considerable influence on suicidal thoughts of elderly single and couple households. The size of the conflictual network had a greater effect on suicidal thoughts of elderly individuals than that of the supportive network. These results have important policy implications for elderly single and couple households.

본 연구는 노인가구의 소비지출 항목들의 특성에 기초하여 노인가구의 소비 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 통해 노인가구와 노인 빈곤가구의 욕구와 경제적 복지 수준을 파악하고 이들의 복지 향상을 위한 정책적 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과, 노인가구의 소비특성은 빈곤지위와 가구유형에 따라 차이가 드러났으며, 빈곤가구는 의식주와 보건의료비 같은 필수재를 중심으로 소비가 이루어져 소비패턴의 불균형을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 독거가구와 부부가구는 빈곤 노출 위험성이 높고 소비의 불균형성이 심하게 나타났다. 노인 빈곤가구의 경제적 안녕과 삶의 안정을 위해서는 필수재의 소비를 지원할 수 있는 사회적 지원체계를 구축하여, 노인이 생활의 주체이자 소비의 주체로서 사회적 역할을 수행할 수 있도록 지원할 필요가 있다.

This study was conducted as a survey to find out middle-aged persons's housing preferences for a future elderly housing and to grasp background characteristics of persons influencing the preferences and the effect of elderly's aging situations on the changes of their preferences. A sample of 300 middle-aged people was selected purposely from parents of university students living in Gwang-ju city. Questionnaires were administered to parents by students and analysed with SPSS Windows 10 program. Middle-aged persons's housing preferences were differed according to elderly's aging situations, in the case of healthy situation, they tended to prefer to stay present house without their children in irrespective to couple or single, whereas in the case of unhealthy situation, they tended to prefer to live with their children. and couples showed preferences for planned housing for the elderly and singles showed preferences for elderly housing facilities with care services. The most important characteristics of elderly housing among middle-aged people was a places where they can enjoy leisure and provide home-help services, located in the suburbs. Also middle-aged persons were likely to prefer to a green spaces such as garden, path for walking, and madang for the elderly housing. Needs for community care services (NCCS) were required above the average. Among the items of NCCS, a visiting medical examination was the most demanding, and a visiting nursing services, a emergency calling bell, and home repairs were sequently followed in the level of needs. The characteristics of the elderly housing which preferred to and needs for community care services were influenced by middle-aged persons's age, gender, subjective evaluation of economic abilities, tenure status, the cost of living, and the size of housing. This findings suggests that it must to be considered to develop various types of the elderly housing depending on socioeconomic status.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 노인층 생계비에 관해 충분한 연구가 이루어져 있지 못한 상황에서 여러 생계비 측정방식중 반물량방식과 통계분석방식을 적용하여 노인 가계를 위한 생계비 측정방식의 다양화를 제안하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 따라서 생계비산정방식을 반물량방식과 통계분석방식을 통해 산정하였으며 이를 다른 연구와 비교함으로써 앞으로 생계비 산정방식의 다양화를 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통해 밝혀진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째 반물량 방식에 의한 2006년 노인부부가계의 최저생계비는 566,478원이고 노인독신가계 중 남자는 306,210원, 여자는 260,276원으로 나타났다. 둘째, 통계분석방식에 의하면 노인부부가계의 경우 생계비 1방식에서는 최저생계비가 860,043원, 표준생계비 1,018,669원, 유락생계비 1,287,555원으로 나타났다. 그리고 생계비 2방식에서는 694,916원, 표준생계비 1,037,779원, 유락생계비 1,556,551원으로 나타났다. 이는 모두 귀속임대료를 포함시킨 것이지만 귀속임대료를 제외한 생계비는 최저생계비 435,416원, 표준생계비 548,250원, 유락생계비 699,844원으로 나타났다. 여기에서 반물량방식의 최저생계비는 유사 상대 표준선의 최저생계비와 귀속임대료를 제외한 최저생계비 사이인 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 산정된 노인생계비를 정부 공식 생계비와 정영숙의 생계비 산정방식과 비교한 결과 주거비를 포함할 경우 생계비1방식에 의해서는 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 주거비를 제외할 경우에 비해서는 모두 높게 나타났다. 또한 생계비 2방식에 의한 최저생계비와는 유사하게 나타났다. 그러나 본 연구를 통해 여러 방식의 생계비 산정을 시도하였지만 산정된 생계비 결과가 아직까지 일관성이 있다고 판단하기는 어려웠다. 이는 노인을 대상으로 한 절대적 생계비 산정방식인 전물량방식의 생계비 산정이 아주 필요하다는 점을 나타낸 결과라 하겠다. 이에 절대적 산정방식, 특히 전물량방식의 생계비 산정이 이루어지기 전에 다른 생계비 산정 결과에 대한 해석이 제한되기 때문에 좀 더 다양한 방식의 산정방식을 활용하여 체계적이고 종합적인 노인 생계비가 산정되고 제안되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze in detail the employment characteristics of the elderly over 65 years old and to compare those that have experienced no job change in the last 10 years with another group that have experienced job change at least once in the last 10 years. From the 10th wave data(KLIP), participants who were over 65 years old were chosen and their employment status for the last 10 years was reviewed. The results of this study were as follows: first, the analysis of demographic profiles indicated that householders and elderly couples with low education levels and low socioeconomic status were more likely to be employed compared to others. Second, in terms of work-related characteristics, it was revealed that the elderly who were employed tended to be non-paid workers, employers, and self-employed workers, primarily in the farming, fishing, forestry, and the mining industries, these were the elderly workers who had experienced job change three times or more in the last 10 years. Third, the analysis of economic characteristics indicated that elderly who were employed tended to rely more on private income transfers. Last, when the elderly who had experienced no job change in the last 10 years were compared to the elderly who had experienced job change in the last 10 years, the two groups differed significantly in terms of employment status, type of business, and occupation category.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to investigate how elders in rural communities maintain their sexual life. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 participants who were 65 years old or older, and either were married couples or were continuing the sexual relationship though widowed. Data were analyzed based on Strauss and Corbin's (1990) Grounded Theory Methodology. Results: The core category of experiences of the elderly's sexual life was identified with 'changeable sexual life at husband's mercy'. This process could be divided into 3 stages, which were the stage of recognition of sex difference and obstacle in sexual life, the stage of observation of partner's attitude and the stage of husband's lead in sexual life. Conclusions: This study found that sexuality was an important aspect for the elderly although their sexual interests and activities declined along with aging. In addition, the husband's sexual and economic capabilities and sexual difference were very important factors in the elderly's sexual life. It is suggested to consider sexuality as a normal aspect of life for the elderly when nurses plan for their care.
