The study investigated the hygienic practice attitudes of 500 housewives living in the Seoul area through survey. The suey questionnaire evaluated general information, purchasing behaviors, 4 parts of hygienic practice attitude and the associated factors. The subjects were mostly full-time housewives aged in their $30{\sim}40's$, high school graduates from middle-class families who had been married for $6{\sim}10$ years. The mean score for hygienic practice attitude was 2.9 out of 5 point scale, representing a fairly low hygienic practice attitude except for food preparation area(3.4 pt.). Factors affecting hygienic practice attitude were age, occupation, and marriage term. Practice attitude was positively correlated with age (p<0.01). Full-time housewives had better practice attitude. Housewives with <5 and >26 years of marriage showed inferior practice attitude (p<0.05). In addition, food purchasing behaviors were strongly related to hygienic practice attitude. Housewives gathering hygiene information from mass media maintained a significantly higher practice attitude (p<0.05), and so did the housewives focusing on 'nutrition' and 'freshness' when fish and frozen foods were purchased (p<0.05). In contrast, housewives focusing on cost had a significantly lower practice attitude (p<0.05). In conclusion, the level of hygienic practice attitude of housewives was fairly low and was affected by age, occupation status, marriage term and several aspects of purchasing behaviors. Therefore, it is extremely important to conduct training and education for housewives to improve their hygienic practice attitude and awareness of hygiene.

이 연구의 목적은 주부들이 경험하는 우울의 정도를 알아보고, 그들의 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인을 종합적으로 비교 분석해 보는 것이다. 특히 주부의 발달단계에 따라 우울의 정도와 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 어떻게 달라지는가에 연구의 초점을 두었다. 서울, 부산, 창원, 마산에 거주하는 20 30대 성년주부와 40 50대 중년주부 총 272명을 대상으로 한 설문조사 분석결과, 주부들이 평균적으로 가벼운 기분장애에 해당되는 우울을 경험하고 있음이 나타나 그들의 정신건강 상태의 심각성을 보여주었다. 이러한 우울상태는 여러 연구들이 주장한 것처럼 중년주부가 성년주부보다 심각한 것은 아니었다. 그러나 우울에 영향을 미치는 요인은 주부의 발달단계에 따라 달리 나타났다. Stepwise multiple regression 분석결과 성년주부의 우울을 설명하고 예측하는 요인은 자존감, 배우자와의 갈등, 충격적 사건경험, 나이, 자녀와의 갈등으로 나타난 반면, 중년주부의 우울을 설명하고 예측하는 요인으로는 자존감, 배우자와의 갈등, 직업, 월수입으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 우울한 주부들을 위한 사회사업개입 방안이 논의되었다.

This study examines the problematic fact that most housewives are excluded from receiving the benefits of the National Pension Plan in South Korea. The National Pension Plan assigns no value to housework or household production, which in turn discourages full-time housewives from participating voluntarily in the Plan. In this article, I propose to utilize Credit Splitting and Pension Sharing in order to take into account full-time housewives' economic contribution in the National Pension Plan. In this article, I also discuss the ranges and application methods of the Credit Splitting and Pension Sharing. For this study, I have analyzed the data of 11,967 unemployed married women living with spouses published in“Research Data on Everyday Life Time Usage”by the Korea National Statistical Office in 1999. The value of the full-time housewives' labor varies depending on the methods of estimation. However, all estimated values exceed the average value assigned to the housewives by the National Pension Corporation. It is clear that full-time housewives' unpaid labor contributes a great deal to the formation of household property and wealth, which is a valid reason for Pension Sharing and Credit Splitting. This article also provides logical factors to consider in the process of Pension Sharing and Credit Splitting, which can be used for developing computerized software to determine a full-time housewives' labor value at the time of divorce or for any other purpose.
