Purpose: This study were to understand the caregiving situation of families with the demented elderly and to develop a self-help program for them. Method: A self-help program was designed to increase caregivers' confidence and skills in problem solving. In addition, it was designed to provide information about the demented elderly. The self-help program of this study was composed of nine sessions. Result: Family caregivers of elderly patients with dementia obviously experience high level of stress. which often leads the caregivers to negative outcomes such as depression, interference with social activities and health difficulties. That is, caring is stressful for caregivers because the demands of the caregiving situation tend to overwhelm the caregivers' coping resources. Therefore, families with demented elderly persons need assistances in order to be relieved from their care burden. Conclusion: The self-help program includes the understanding of dementia, the family caregiving experiences of the demented elderly persons, the time for self-care, the search for helping, the improving of interpersonal relations and communications.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adolescents' coping strategies to various stressors, and to examine factors that related to their coping strategies. The subjects of the study were 355 middle school and 398 high school students. Adolescents' coping strategy was examined with a revision of the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Scale (McCubbin, Olson, & Larson, 1982). Quality of life was measured by an 11-item scale selected from Quality of Life (Olson & Barnes, 1982) in the areas of family, friend, relationship with relatives, and health and community. Parent-adolescent communication was divided into two dimensions of open communication and problem communication, using Parent-Adolescent Communication(Barnes & Olson, 1982). A measure of the self-esteem of adolescents was obtained by using selected items from the Self-Esteem Inventory(Coopersmith, 1967) and Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Five types of coping strategies were found. These are "help from relatives/neighbors", "help from families", "self-help", "help from friends", and "help from religion". Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine significant predictor variables for adolescents' coping strategies. Sex, age, quality of parent-adolescent communication, family cohesion and adaptability, religion, and self-esteem were found important in predicting the types of coping strategies by adolescents.

The repeated measure ANOVA revealed the significant differences among the pre post follow-up pain and fatigue. Whileas there were no significant differences the pre post follow-up pain site and physical functioning. And there were also no significant differences the pain, pain site, fatigue and physical functioning among three groups according to the duration of follow-up. These results suggested that the follow-up program after the self-help program was completed would be helpful for the physical wellbeing of arthritis patients.

Purpose: This study has investigated experience of middle aged women who attended a self help group to overcome midlife crisis. Methods: To analyze types of experience that middle aged women attending the self help group went through to overcome midlife crisis, Q-methodology has been used. The 32 selected Q-samples from each of 27 subjects were classified into a shape of normal distribution using a 9-point scale. The collected data were analyzed using a QUANL PC program. The 38 selected Q-samples from each of 27 subjects were classified into a shape of normal distribution using a 9-point scale. The collected data were analyzed using a QUANL PC program. Results: The types of experience were classified into four categories; Type I (attempt to change), Type II (devoted to my role), Type III (tolerance and acceptance) and Type IV (role as a senior citizen). Conclusion: This study is significant in that it has attempted to analyze the approach and usefulness of a self-help group program.

본 연구자들은 재가노인의 사례관리 과정에서 가장 핵심적인 요소가 되는 욕구 중심의 통합적 사정을 위한 28개의 욕구가 포함된 사정도구를 개발하였으며, 그 후속 연구로 개발된 욕구사정도구를 활용해 전국 노인복지관 협회 산하 120개 기관의 재가 노인 676명의 사정 데이터를 수집하고 데이터마이닝의 의사결정 나무분석 기법을 활용하여 욕구에 적합한 사회복지 서비스를 제공하기 위한 욕구추출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통해 재가노인의 욕구 28개에 대한 욕구추출 알고리즘은 <표3>에 요약하였다. 욕구 8번 "외출 시 도움을 원한다."의 의사결정모형을 예로 들면, 호소 23번을 주요 변인으로 외부이동 도움을 요청할 경우 80.3%와 요청하지 않을 경우 11.4%로 구분되었다. 이용자가 외부 이동에 대한 호소가 있고, 수발자가 있는 경우 87.9%로 욕구가 증가하였지만, 수발자가 없는 이용자의 경우 47.4%로 감소하였다. 노인이 외부이동 지원에 대한 요청과 수발자가 있으며, 청소하기의 완전도움이 필요한 경우, 외부이동 도움에 대한 욕구는 94.2%로 나타났다. 그러나 이용자가 외부이동의 도움을 요청하지 않더라도, ADL의 목욕하기에 완전도움으로 응답한 경우 외출도움의 욕구는 11.4%에서 80.0%로 급격히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 그러나 ADL 목욕하기의 기능이 부분도움 또는 완전자립의 경우 외출도움이 필요하다고 분류될 가능성은 7.7%로 낮게 나타났다. 위와 같은 의사결정모형은 최대 나무 깊이는 5수준을 정지규칙으로 하여, 부모마디와 자식마디의 사례 수를 각각 50과 25로 지정하였다. 이를 통해 "외출 시 도움을 원한다"라는 욕구의 경우 182.13%의 효과적인 의사결정을 하고 있다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시한 알고리즘은 재가노인의 욕구를 추출함에 있어서 체계적이고 과학적인 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Recently, the number of people who return to rural areas for farming is increasing rapidly. This attracted public attention so that the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced officially comprehensive countermeasures to help those returning to rural areas. But there is not sufficient consideration of the role of local governments in the above countermeasures. Policy package to help returning people establish themselves in rural area include many soft programs that requires governance, delicate implementation process and expertise to advise. Therefore, the local governments should have appropriate governance and perspectives.
