Objectives: To investigate in depth the use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) by cancer patients at the end-of-life (EOL) and how they communicate with physicians about them. Design and location: In 17 hospitals in Korea between January and December 2004 we identified 4,042 families of cancer patients. Results: The prevalence of CAM use among cancer patients at the EOL was 37.0%, and 93.1% had used pharmacologic types of agents. The most frequent motive for CAM use was the recommendation of friends or a close relative (53.4%) or a physician (1.6%). Only 42.5% discussed CAM use with their physicians. Satisfaction with CAMS was recalled for 37.1%. The most common reason given for that satisfaction was improvement of emotional or physical well-being, while ineffectiveness was the most common reason given for dissatisfaction. The average cost of CAM during the last month of life was $US 900. CAM use was associated with longer disease periods, primary cancers other than liver, biliary, and pancreatic, and need of support from physicians or religion. Conclusions: CAM use among cancer patients at the EOL was common, not discussed with physicians, and associated with expectation of cure. Expectations were generally unmet while the treatments were a financial burden. Further studies evaluating the effects of CAM at the EOL and factors that enhance communication with the physician are needed.

본 연구는 수단-목적사슬이론에 입각하여 노인정신장애인의 사회복지서비스 이용행동에 대한 예측을 시도하는 것이다. 노인정신장애인들이 새로운 요보호대상 인구집단으로 부상함에도 불구하고, 지역사회 차원에서 이들을 위한 사회복지서비스들이 부재함에 문제의식을 가지고, 노인정신장애인을 위한 사회복지서비스 개발을 위하여 수단-목적사슬이론에 입각하여 서비스 이용행동을 분석해 보았다. 인터뷰 대상자는 노인정신장애인 15명이였으며, 이들을 통해 도출된 내용은 속성 7개, 혜택 10개, 가치 11개였다. 프로그램 이용에 대한 가치단계도는 '질병관리, 사회복귀 준비, 취미 여가 ${\rightarrow}$ 건강유지, 삶의 활용 ${\rightarrow}$ 사회복귀, 생활 만족도, 원만한 가정생활'로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해서 노인정신장애인들이 사회복귀시설 프로그램을 이용할 때 가지는 인지구조를 경험적으로 확인할 수 있게 되었다. 노인정신장애인들은 질병관리나 사회 복귀를 준비하기 위해서 이용할 뿐 아니라 노년기에 느끼게 되는 삶의 무료함을 해결하기 위하여 이용하고 있음도 확인되었다. 그리고 어떤 프로그램을 이용하더라도 삶의 활력을 중요한 혜택으로 고려하고 있었다. 향후 정신보건영역에서 노인정신장애인을 위한 사회복지 프로그램을 개발할 때, 정신장애인으로 이용하게 되는 질병 관리나 지역사회 적응 뿐만 아니라 취미여가를 개발할 수 있는 다양한 여가문화 프로그램도 고려할 필요가 있다. 그리고 프로그램의 주요한 성과 중 하나로 삶의 활력을 설정하고 이를 성취할 수 있는 프로그램 개발도 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Objective : This study examined the socioeconomic differentials for the health and health related behaviors among South Korean middle school students. Methods : A nationwide cross-sectional interview survey of 3,449 middle school second-grade students and their parents was conducted using a stratified multi-stage cluster sampling method. The response rate was 93.3%. The socioeconomic position indicators were based on self-reported information from the students and their parents: parental education, father's occupational class, monthly family income, out-of-pocket expenditure for education, housing ownership, educational expectations, educational performance and the perceived economic hardships. The outcome variables that were measured were also based on the self-reported information from the students. The health measures included self-rated health conditions, psychological or mental problems, the feelings of loneliness at school, the overall satisfaction of life and the perceived level of stress. The health related behaviors included were smoking, alcohol drinking, sexual intercourse, violence, bullying and verbal and physical abuse by parents. Results : Socioeconomic differences for the health and health related behaviors were found among the eighth grade boys and girls of South Korea. However, the pattern varied with gender, the socioeconomic position indicators and the outcome measures. The prevalence rates of the overall dissatisfaction with life for both genders differed according to most of the eight socioeconomic position indicators. All the health measures were significantly different according to the perceived economic hardship. However, the socioeconomic differences in the self-rated health conditions and the psychosocial or mental problems were not clear. The students having higher socioeconomic position tended to be a perpetrator of bullying while those students with lower socioeconomic position were more likely to be a victim. Conclusions : The perceived economic hardships predicted the health status among the eighth graders of South Korea. The overall satisfaction of life was associated with the socioeconomic position indicators. Further research efforts are needed to explore the mechanisms on how and why the socioeconomic position affects the health and health related behaviors in this age group.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether the phenomenon of both married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society is "unilaterally parasitic" on the child's side, or is "interdependent", characterized by expectation and dependence from the parent's side. As a result of this study possessing the characteristics of theoretic research, the following propensities of parent-dependent adults have been discussed. First of all, it was discovered that the ratio of adult children dependent on and cohabiting with their parents is considerable. Second, parents cohabiting with their adult children have unfavorable sociological features, such as high age, low level of education and income, and lower standards of education and income, compared to parents in normal households. Third, it was found that parent-dependent adults in Korean society maintain a relatively high rate of financial activity and stable employment-based occupation status. Fourth, it was shown that the level of satisfaction on the relationship between parent-dependent adults and their parents was discovered to be high, which is contrastive to the prediction of negative results based on some previous researches. Single adult children's age, their level of education and financial activity status, and their parents' age and level of education were deducted as variables related to the level of satisfaction of the relationship between parents and their children. It seems that the issue of married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society should be approached from various perspectives such as political, economic, socio-cultural and developmental aspects. On the basis of this fundamental awareness and several of the materials, it is pertinent that approaches to both married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with parents in Korean society should be distinguished from approaches to those in Japanese or Western society because it reflects the uniqueness of Korean society. In the phenomenon of married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society, there are several factors besides the economic factor, especially the socio-cultural factor that have the characteristics of mutual dependence between parents and their children rather than those of unilateral parasitism, in contrast with the phenomenon in Japanese or Western society. This research was aimed to contribute by establishing basic data for policy making by providing necessary information to treat the issues of instability and anxiety related to families and reflection on the matters of generations and parent-child relationships in current Korean society.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the different concepts of oriental nursing as perceived by nurses, doctors, and patients in oriental hospitals. Method: A descriptive survey design was used for this study. Fifty-eight nurses, 26 doctors and 28 inpatients in 3 oriental hospitals were recruited from October to December 2002. The data were collected through a semi-structured open questionnaire. The data were analyzed by content analysis. Result: 1. The perceived concept of oriental nursing varied among the subjects. The nurses regard it as "a traditional nursing activity based on oriental philosophy" (60.3%), while the doctors viewed it as "a supplement to western nursing activity"(38.5%). For patients, the oriental nursing activity was considered as "a cordial form of nursing like that from a family member" (50.0%) and "an activity that doesn't differ so much from western nursing" (42.8%). 2. As for oriental nursing activities actually practiced, both the nurses and the doctors agreed that they carry out traditional oriental nursing activities such as explaining the treatment (taking oriental medicines, administering acupuncture etc.; nurses 96.6%, doctors 57.7%) and direct care like removing acupuncture needles (nurses 43.1%, doctors 34.6%). Patients replied that a western nursing activity is performed rather than an oriental nursing activity. 3. As for the required oriental nursing activity, nurses stated they apply traditional oriental methods such as CHUNA exercise therapy, moxibustion, cupping method etc. in their nursing practice. Doctors remarked that they try to understand the patients' state by approaching patients through an oriental way of thinking. Patients wish to get kindly care. 4. As a whole, 34.5% of nurses and 25.0% of patients have experienced little satisfaction from oriental nursing activity. Nurses found it valuable to carry out western nursing (39.3%), while patients found satisfaction in the use of a cordial attitude (39.9%). 5. Both nurses and doctors defined the first reason that oriental nursing activity cannot be performed more often was the lack of education in oriental nursing, and the absence of interest in oriental nursing. Conclusion: Nurses and doctors appreciate an oriental way of nursing, and think that this type of nursing activity has been carried out even though it may be infrequent. However this oriental nursing activity has won recognition from patients who view western nursing activity as being more important.

This study was conducted to examine the present state, types of services, difficulties, education programs, motivation, satisfaction and attitude of hospice volunteers and also to suggest supporting programs for the volunteer. For these purposes, a questionnaire was distributed among the 200 hospice volunteers in ten hospice organizations in Daejeon and Chungcheong province. In this research, 85.5% of the respondents were women and most of them were housewives in their forties and fifties. The majority of hospice volunteers had an education background of more than high school. Christianity (94%) was the dominant religion of volunteers. Among the service area of the hospice, emotional caring, such as listening closely and establishing empathy were the most frequently done by the respondents and the next one was spiritual care. Hospice volunteers who had started with altruistic motivation show more dynamic activities in emotional, spiritual, physical caring and so on, than those with non-altruistic motivation. Most of the respondents expressed that they felt a hospice volunteer was valuable. However they had a hard time to overcome the sorrow coming from sharing empathy with the dying patients. Those who had started with altruistic motivation usually took part in two times per a week and had more positive attitude. Volunteers who had been working more than five years showed better attitude than those who had been working less than three years. The longer the voluntary services, the more positive attitude experienced by volunteers. Hospice volunteers encountered the most considerable difficulty with lack of background knowledge and their actual capability. Insufficiency of time was the next reason for the considerable difficulty of the hospice volunteer. On the other hand, those who served more than twice per week replied that lack of background knowledge and their capability were the least considerable difficulty. Insufficiency of time was the reason of difficulty for male volunteers, as well as for females under thirty and those in their forties and fifties respectively. Generally most of the hospice volunteers (70%) were satisfied with their services and they usually satisfied with physical caring, spiritual caring, hospice's family caring. The less difficulty in voluntary services, more satisfaction for the volunteers in the end. There is a positive correlation between a attitude of the hospice volunteer and frequency of voluntary services while the volunteers' difficulty affect negatively their attitude as well as the frequency of voluntary services. Most of the hospice volunteers want to have more education about basic skills, volunteer's attitude and role, spirituality, the way of attending on the hospice and so on. Most of them considered discussion and sharing different cases as the most effective method. They also wish to had more supporting programs for the hospice volunteers(in the order of their needs) such as regular events, newsletters, personal concern, social meetings among the volunteers, insurance and minimum expenses. Based on the study results, more programs should be run in order to activate the voluntary services regardless of their gender and education background. A continuous practical supporting policy and education programs are required in order to provide special education and training courses considering every field of voluntary services. Expanding the role of the volunteers allows them more opportunities to take part in voluntary services and th activate participation. It is necessary to establish a new hospice system as a part public medical system, which can not only facilitate the voluntary services for a hospice but also enhance professional hospice volunteers. Finally, experts are needed to operate the voluntary services effectively.

통계청의 '경제활동인구조사 부가조사'(2010년 3월)와 문화체육관광부 통계청의 '국민여가활동조사'(2010년 7월)를 분석한 결과, 주40시간 근무제가 노동자들의 근로시간과 여가생활에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 주40시간 근무제는 실 근로시간을 11.3% 단축시키고, 장시간근로 확률을 1/5로 축소시킨다. 시간당 임금에 대한 근로시간 탄력성은 -0.145로, 임금이 낮을수록 실 근로시간이 길고 장시간근로 확률이 높다. 저임금과 장시간근로는 동전의 양면이다. 둘째, 주40시간 근무제는 휴일 여가시간을 매개변수로 하여 여가비용에 영향을 미친다. 휴일 여가시간이 10% 늘면 여가비용이 3% 늘어난다. 주40시간 근무제는 스포츠 등 적극적 여가활동을 늘리고, 자원봉사, 동호회 등 사회성 여가활동에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있다. 셋째, 주40시간 근무제 이후 생활에서 나타난 가장 큰 변화로는, 10명 중 7명이 '가족과 함께 하는 여가시간 증가'(52.2%), '자기 계발을 위한 시간 증가'(15.7%) 등 긍정적 변화에 응답하고, '여가 소비지출 부담 증가'(6.3%), '수입 감소'(3.4%) 등 부정적 변화는 13.9%, '별다른 변화 없음'은 14.4% 응답했다. 긍정적 생활변화는 여가생활 만족도 증가로 이어지고 있다. 넷째, 다른 변수를 통제하더라도 주40시간 근무제는 주관적 행복수준에 직접 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 여가생활 만족도를 매개변수로 하여 간접적으로도 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 주40시간 근무제가 노동생활과 여가생활에 미친 영향이 긍정적이라는 사실을 분명히 인식하고, 빠른 시일 내에 모든 직장에 주40시간 근무제가 정착되도록 가능한 모든 노력을 기울여야 한다. 주40시간 근무제를 5인 미만 사업장으로 확대하고, 초중등학교에 주5일 수업제를 전면 실시하고, 적극적 여가활동 여건을 조성해야 한다. 근로감독 행정을 강화해서 주 52시간을 초과하는 탈법적인 장시간근로를 제한하고 저임금을 일소해야 한다.
