This study identified correlations between perceived family support and hopelessness in patients admitted to Neuro - surgical Intensive Care Units. The purpose was to enhance theoretical understanding of the relationships of these two variables. The subjects of this study were 51 patients admitted to N-lCU, at three general hospitals in Seoul. Data were collected by researcher in structured interviews from Aug. 12 to Oct. 13, 1992. The research tools were parts of the Moos Family Environment Scale and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. The general characteristic data were analyzed for frequency and percentage ; the hypothesis was tested by the pearson product Moment Correlation Coefficient. After normality tests by using Kolmogorov - Sminorvtest, and T- test, ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal -Wallis test were used on the Family Support and the Hopelessness about general charcteristics. The results of the above analysis were as follows 1) The average family support score for the group was 63.61 (tool average 51) and item average was 3.74 (tool item average 3) : the family support score of this sample was higher than average. The average family cohesion score of family support was 35.25 (tool average 27) and item average was 3.91 (tool item average 3). The average family expression score of family support was 28.35 (tool average 24) and item average was 3.57 (tool average 3). In this sample, perceived family expression was lower than family cohesion. 2) The average hopelessness score was 45.88 (tool average 60) and item average was 2.29 (tool item average 3) : the hopelessness score of this sample was low in comparison to the average. 3) The hypothesis in this study was supported. The main hypothesis that the higher the perceived family support level, the lower the level Of the hopelessness, was Supported (r＝-.3869 p＝.003). The sub-hypothesis that the higher the perceived family cohesion level, the lower the level of hopelessness, was supported(r＝-.3688 p＝.004). The sub-hypothesis that the higher the perceived family expression level, the lower the level of hopelessness, was supported (r＝-.3068 p＝.014). 4) General characteristics of the objects related to family support were ‘economic status’(p＝.025) and ‘helping person’(P＝.044) : the higher the economic status, the greater the family support.

본 연구는 G광역시 지역주민들을 대상(n=299)으로 운영되는 건강가정지원센터의 가족지원관련 5개 프로그램(가족상담프로그램, 가족교육지원사업, 가족친화문화지원사업, 돌봄지원사업, 다양한가족지원사업)이 가족가치관, 가족간 의사소통, 가족관계성 수준을 반영한 차별화된 프로그램 개발과 활성화가 필요하다는 인식에서 출발하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 첫째, 지역주민의 가족가치관, 가족간 의사소통, 가족관계성 수준은 어떠한가? 둘째, 지역주민의 가족가치관, 가족간 의사소통, 가족관계성에 따라 가족지원사업 프로그램 요구도에 차이가 있는가?라는 연구문제를 설정하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 지역주민의 가족가치관(M=3.55, S.D.=.664), 가족간 의사소통(M=3.65, S.D.=.669), 가족관계성(M=3.69 S.D=.584) 정도는 모두 평균이상(5점만점)으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 가족의 가치관, 의사소통, 가족관계성 수준이 평균미만집단이 평균이상집단과 비교하여 가족상담프로그램을 제외하고 가족교육지원사업, 가족친화문화지원사업, 돌봄지원사업, 다양한가족지원사업 등에서 필요도가 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 건강가정지원센터의 프로그램 참여도를 높이고 활성화시킬 수 있는 방안은 각 프로그램별도 가족의 가치관, 의사소통, 가족관계성 수준을 사전에 파악하여 집단별 프로그램 목표도를 차별화하거나, 프로그램 참여 우선순위를 결정할 때 프로그램 필요도 욕구가 높은 평균미만집단에게 우선권을 주는 방안도 고려해야 할 것이다.

Much research has focused on the conflict and balance between work and family. Yet few studies examine how women feel in balancing these two roles. In that regard, this study examines how married working women feel balanced between work and family as well as the levels of support availability/demand that exists. The level of sense of balance regarding work-family is average. Sense of balance is related to age, income, work hours, size of workplace, numbers of family friendly policies, the family's attitude to woman's work, and the level of balancing strategies used. The demand for support is higher than the availability of support. Both factors are related to working hours and balancing strategies, etc.
