The purpose of this study was to determine the drinking behaviors and drinking problems of adult, mentally retarded persons over 18 years old. It was also investigated whether gender, age, and pattern of employment create different result of drinking behaviors and drinking problems, and the variables explaining drinking problems were analyzed. One hundred forty adults, mentally retarded persons were surveyed in Seoul and KyeongGi area. The major findings were as follows; The majority of respondents ($58.2\%$) reported that they had consumed alcohol beverages sometimes prior to their having been interviewed. The average age of respondents who had consumed alcohol was 26.4 years and average age of first-use of alcohol was 22 years. For consumption frequency, $39.2\%$ of respondents reported that they drink alcohol once a month. Average alcohol consumption per occasion was 1.5 cups, and $10.9\%$ of respondents answered more than 5 cups per occasion. Regarding problems associated with drinking, $16\%$ of respondent of AUDIT and $51.4\%$ of Family CAGE answered that their children have drinking-related problems. Men drink more than women and experience more alcohol problems. Supervised employment group was the group with the greatest prevalence for drinking. For the amount of drinking, gender and employment pattern showed significant differences. Drinking problems (AUDIT and Family CAGE) of adult, mentally retarded persons were influenced by age of first-use of alcohol, frequency of alcohol use, and alcohol consumption.

본 연구는 활동이 가능한 만 18세 이상의 성인정신지체인을 대상으로 그들의 음주행위를 살펴보고, 성, 연령, 고용유형에 따른 음주행위의 차이, 음주행위 변인들간의 상관관계 등을 살펴보았다. 연구결과 성인정신지체인의 58.2%가 음주경험이 있다고 응답하였으며, 최초음주 평균연령은 22세, 음주평균연령은 26.357세, 그리고 1회 평균 음주량은 1.494잔으로 조사되었다. 음주빈도는 한 달에 한번 마신다가 39.2%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 선호하는 술은 맥주가 54.2%로 가장 높았다. 성별에 따른 음주경험에서는 남성 64.2%, 여성 43.6%가 음주경험이 있다고 응답하였으며, 연령에 따른 음주행위의 유의미한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 고용유형에서는 보호고용자의 음주행위가 78.6%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 유의미한 정적 상관관계를 보여준 음주변인들은 음주빈도와 음주량, 그리고 음주일수와 AUDIT, Family CAGE로 음주빈도가 잦을수록 음주량이 많아지며 자신이나 가족원에게 음주문제가 더 있다고 생각하였으며, 음주일수 역시 자신이나 가족원에게 음주문제가 더 있다고 생각하도록 하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the resilience of adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) who are college students, and examine factors contributing to their resilience. Methods: A total of 459 college students from a university in Incheon, participated in this study. Data were collected between April 6 to 30, 2010 using the Korean version of the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test (CAST-K), CAGE, Social Support, Self-Esteem, Family Adaptability and Cohesion, and Resilience measurements. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Overall, ACOA group showed lower scores of resilience, social support, self-esteem and family adaptability and cohesion compared to non-ACOA group. Resilience among the ACOA group showed significant relationships with self-esteem (r=.53, p<.001), social support (r=.43, p<.001), and family adaptability and cohesion (r=.25, p<.013). Multiple regression analysis showed that 45% of the variance for resilience in the ACOA group was accounted for by age, gender, social support, self-esteem, and religion. Conclusion: The results of the study show that self-esteem and social support are important determinants of resilience in ACOA, thus it is recommend that further resilience training programs for ACOA be developed to enhance their social support and self-esteem, and ultimately to increase their resilience.

본 연구는 정신재활시설을 이용하고 있는 정신장애인 가족의 돌봄 경험은 어떠한지 탐색하기 위한 질적 연구이다. 분석결과, 정신장애인 가족의 삶은 6개의 주제에서 12개의 하위주제로 나타났다. 발병하기 이전의 삶의 모습은 전기난로처럼 따뜻하고 편안한 일상생활, 가족간 갈등으로 새장의 앵무새처럼 답답하고 힘든생활로 나타났다. 증상이 나타나기 시작한 당사자를 바라보는 느낌은 앞이 잘 보이지 않는 두려움과 막막함, 삶을 꽃 피우기 전 질병에 갇힌 자녀에 대한 죄책감이었고, 강제 입원, 그리고 나의 느낌은 찢어지는 마음에 어찌할 바를 모름, 불투명한 회복과 미래의 삶에 대한 걱정으로 생각이 혼란해짐으로 나타났다. 질병이 장기간 지속되고 입·퇴원이 반복되면서 느낀 경험은 주변에 가족의 정신병이 알려질까 두려움, 반복되는 재발과 증상 악화에 대처하기 위해 안간힘을 씀으로 도출되었다. 정신재활시설을 이용하면서 변화된 삶은 편안한 쉼터에서 마음의 위로를 받음, 미래에 대한 희망이 보이고 웃을 수 있는 여유가 생김으로 나타났고, 앞으로 기대하는 삶, 그리고 희망은 작은 변화를 보며 감사함을 느낌, 회복을 위한 따뜻한 울타리가 되길 다짐함으로 도출되었다.

Purpose: This study was aimed at finding factors influencing cognitive impairment which is one of the typical symptoms among the demented elderly. Methods: The number of subjects was 417 elderly residents aged over 65 yr in a community. A cognitive function and a depression level were measured using the Korean Version of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) and the Korean Form of Geriatric Depression Scale (KGDS). Alcohol abuse was measured using the CAGE instrument. Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify factors affecting cognitive impairment. Results: The prevalence rates of cognitive impairment of the sample was 43.5%. Sex, age, educational level, perceived health and alcohol abuse were strong factors influencing cognitive impairment. However, the effects of smoking, living alone, depression, family history in dementia and stroke were not strong. Conclusion: Risk for cognitive impairment were increased by being female and older than 70 yr, having low education, perceiving health as poor, and drinking alcohol abusively. Therefore, a reinforcement system, continuous research and the development of proper programs should be preformed in order to prevent cognitive impairment.

The myogenic regulatory factors is a family of transcription factors that play a key role in the development of skeletal muscle fibers, which are the main factors to affect the meat taste and texture. In the present study, we performed candidate gene analysis to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MyoD, Myf5, MyoG, and Mrf4 genes using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism in 360 Erlang Mountain Chickens from three different housing systems (cage, pen, and free-range). The general linear model procedure was used to estimate the statistical significance of association between combined genotypes and muscle fiber traits of chickens. Two polymorphisms (g.39928301T>G and g.11579368C>T) were detected in the Mrf4 and MyoD gene, respectively. The diameters of thigh and pectoralis muscle fibers were higher in birds with the combined genotypes of GG-TT and TTCT (p<0.05). Moreover, the interaction between housing system and combined genotypes has no significant effect on the traits of muscle fiber (p>0.05). Our findings suggest that the combined genotypes of TT-CT and GG-TT might be advantageous for muscle fiber traits, and could be the potential genetic markers for breeding program in Erlang Mountain Chickens.
