Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the association of self-perceived oral health and depression in the Korean elderly. Methods: The subjects were 1,329 elderly in Korea from the sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (the 6th KNHANES). The dependent variable was depression that continued more than two weeks. Model I for the impacts of depression on self-reported oral health, Model II for the impacts of depression on chewing problem, Model III for the impacts of depression on speaking problem was evaluated. PASW Statistics 18.0 version was used for frequency analysis, chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. Results: Female elderly were much more prone to depression than male. Female had lower monthly compensation, less medicaid, chewing problem, speaking problem, and less education. For these reasons, they tended to have more depression than male (p<0.001). Self-perceived oral health impacts on depression included poor self-reported oral health(p<0.01), poor chewing problem(p<0.01) and poor speaking problem(p<0.05). On the other hand, male did not show a statistically significant association. Conclusions: The study showed the self-perceived oral health related quality of life had a significant influence on depression in the elderly. The continuing lifelong oral health care can prevent depression in the later life because oral health care improvement can enhance the self-perceived oral health status.

본 연구는 주간보호센터의 중풍노인이 이야기치료 집단상담을 통해 치매노인과의 갈등을 해결하는 과정을 탐색하는 연구이다. 중풍노인에 대한 이야기치료 집단상담을 7회 동안 실시한 과정을 사례연구방법을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 중풍 노인들이 집단상담을 통해 치매노인을 '문제'가 아니라 '치매로 고통받는 사람'으로 보고, 치매노인을 비난하는 대신 도와줄 방법을 적극적으로 찾게 되었으며, 둘째, 자신들을 '치매노인의 피해자'가 아니라 '유능한 사람 으로 규정하게 되었고, 셋째, 중풍노인들끼리 협력적이고 친밀한 관계가 되었으며, 넷째, 중풍노인들이 주간보호센터 운영에 적극적으로 참여하게 된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변화에 이야기치료의 문제와 사람을 분리시키기, 클라이언트를 자기 문제의 전문가로 존중하기, 독특한 결과 찾기 등이 도움이 된 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 장기요양보호대상자에게 보호를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 참여 기회를 확대하고, 이야기치료를 노인에게 적용할 것을 제안하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a plan to expand the employment of the elderly in Small business as one of the ways to solve the problem of the supply and demand of the company due to the aging population and the problem of the elderly poverty. Research design, data and methodology: The method of this study is a qualitative research method, and the researcher visited a small and medium-sized company directly and collected data by conducting an in-depth interview with a business owner. The interview period was conducted on a total of 15 business owners from November 5, 2013 to November 18, 2013. Results: First, the reason why companies hire the elderly is because they are suitable people, and the reason why they are not employed is because the elderly are not suitable. Second, it was found that the most recruiting paths continued to work after retirement. Third, the strengths of the elderly in their businesses were diligence, integrity, leadership, wisdom, warmth, and skill. Disadvantages the elderly in their businesses include wanting to be treated as an adult, poor productivity, poor accuracy, and health risks. Fourth, in case of hiring the elderly, they were considering convergence with young employees, and it was suggested that there are no difficulties in being an elderly because the companies hiring the elderly use the elderly according to the characteristics of the elderly. Fifth, It is realistic to actively utilize the employment system after retirement. Sixth, it was found that, unlike young people, it is not easy to recruit people on the Internet, so it is necessary to improve the system. Lastly, some industries clearly distinguished between the jobs of the elderly and the jobs of the young, but in many industries, it was desirable to create jobs for the elderly by harmonizing the main and secondary jobs. Conclusion: Ultimately, the work of the elderly in small and medium-sized enterprises should be reborn as a high-quality job that can solve the poverty of the elderly by working as a regular worker in the enterprise, rather than simply working for the elderly.

본 연구는 노인의 문제음주와 우울, 자아존중감 및 삶의 만족도와의 구조적 관계에 대한 빈곤노인집단과 비빈곤노인집단간의 차이를 검증하기 위해 구조방정식모형을 적용한 다집단분석 및 잠재평균분석을 실시하였다. 2007 한국복지패널 2차년도 조사자료 중 만 65세이상 노인 3,589명을 분석대상으로 하였으며, 이 중 빈곤노인은 2,471명, 비빈곤노인은 1,118명이었다. 잠재평균분석결과, 빈곤노인이 비빈곤노인에 비해 문제음주성향과 우울감이 더 높았고 자아존중감과 삶의 만족도는 더 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 우울감과 자아존중감은 집단간 뚜렷한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 다집단분석을 통해 각 요인간의 구조적 관계를 빈곤노인과 비빈곤노인의 집단 차이를 통해 살펴보니 문제음주와 우울의 정적인 관계는 두 집단 모두에게서 나타났고, 우울과 삶의 만족도간의 부적인 관계는 빈곤노인에게서만, 문제음주와 자존감과의 부적인 관계는 비빈곤노인에게서만 나타났다. 노인의 문제음주와 삶의 만족도와의 관계에서 우울의 매개효과는 빈곤노인집단에게서만 확인되었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 집단간 평균검증에서는 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았던 노인의 문제음주 변인이 오차오류를 통제한 잠재평균분석에서는 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 검증되어, 소득수준이 낮을수록 문제음주 경향이 더 높다는 의미있는 결과를 제시하였다. 조사결과를 통해 우리나라 노인의 삶의 질과 관련한 문제음주 대책은 노인의 사회경제적 상황을 고려한 심층적이고 체계적인 접근이 필요하며, 노인 문제음주에 대한 접근에서도 예방과 치료에 있어 우울과 자아존중감과 같은 심리정서적 요인들을 동시에 고려하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the characteristics and patterns of family problems were explored. What constituted family problems, and how those evolved over the period of drastic changes in the Korean society were examined, by analyzing articles published from the 1940s to the 1980s in the four major national newspapers in Korea. A total of 6542 articles related to family problems in the four newspapers, Chosun, Dong-A, Kyunghyang, and Seoul, were used for the content analysis of this study. The main categories of family problems were classified as poverty, marital issues, issues related to children and adolescents, elderly issues, problems in the family as an institution, and the so-called family-lag problem. Each of these categories consisted of several subcategories: The poverty-related problems included the problems caused by difficulty in making a living and instability of living, for example. The marital issues category consisted of conflicts between the couple, unfaithful spouses, domestic violence, divorce, and so on. Issues related to children and adolescents included juvenile delinquency, difficulty in bringing up children, child abuse, single motherhood, and underage household heads, for example. The elderly issues included the anxiety over the aging society, support for the elderly, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, alienation of the elderly, etc. Problems in the family as an institution consisted of the legal issues in such areas as marriage, succession of the family head, and adoption. Lastly, the family-lag problem included confusion over family values, and conflict caused by the inconsistency between consciousness and actual behavior related to the family or family crisis. From the 1940s to the 1980s, family-lag was the most common problem (26.2% of the total articles), followed by issues related to children and adolescents (23.1%), poverty (16.2%), marital issues (15.9%), elderly issues (12.4%), and problems in the family as an institution (6.0%). During the 1940s and the 1950s, poverty was a prominent problem, and in the 1960s, issues related to children and adolescents were most commonly addressed in the articles. In the 1970s and the 1980s, the family-lag problem was the most frequently addressed.
