  • 본 연구의 목적은 일본의 자녀양육기 가족에 초점을 맞추고 코로나19 팬데믹이라고 하는 가정 및 가족의 외부에서 일어나는 사건에 의한 노동시간 및 통근시간 등의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 영향을 미치는지에 대해서 밝혀내는 것이다. 분석자료는 일본 내각부가 실시한 「제3회 코로나19 영향에 따른 생활의식·행동의 변화에 관한 조사. 2021」 데이터이다. 20세 이상이며 배우자와 동거하고 있고 18세 미만의 자녀가 한 명 이상이면서 남편과 부인이 모두 취업자인 총 983명을 분석대상자로 선정하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코로나19 팬데믹 이후 부부간 역할분담은 남편의 역할이 증가하는 방향으로 변화하였음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노동시간 및 통근시간의 감소는 남성의 역할분담을 증가시키는 방향으로 작용하고 있었다. 셋째, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간은 부부간 역할분담보다 더욱 명확하게 남편과 부인의 노동시간 및 통근시간과 관계가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 결론적으로 여성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화보다 남성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다는 결과를 얻어냈다. 노동시간 및 통근시간에 대한 심도있는 고찰을 위해서 후속연구에서는 노동시장 요인을 고려한 분석이 필요하다.

  • 최근 몇 년 동안 한국 영화는 세인이 다 알고 있는 성취를 거두었다. 예술적으로는 국제영화제에서 빈번하게 수상을 하였고 상업적으로는 아시아는 물론 전세계의 영화시장을 신속하게 점령하였다. 높은 입소문과 함께 흥행가작들이 쏟아져 나와 영화 관람 붐을 일으키고 문화 현상을 형성하여 "한류"문화의 중요한 힘이 되었다. 이런 상황은 한국 정부의 문화정책이 대대적으로 뒷받침한 덕분이기도 하지만, 한국 영화인들의 높은 문화적 자각에도 관계된다. 바로 한국 영화가 보여주는 한국 문화가 동양의 문화적 정취를 담아 관중들의 사랑을 받고 세계의 인정을 받고 있다. 홍창표 감독이 연출하고 심은경, 이승기 주연의 한국 로맨스 코미디 <궁합>은 2018년 개봉하였다. 영화는 조선시대 최고의 기예를 가진 역술가 서도윤이 궁합풀이를 통해 송화옹주를 위해 부마를 선택하여 혼인을 해결하고 연이는 가뭄으로 인한 민원을 회복하여 나라 위기를 해결하는 이야기를 썼다. 이 논문은 궁합의 예를 들어, 문화의 물질적 측면과 제도적, 행위적 측면, 심리상태적 측면에서 영화 속 표현의 "팔자", "합혼(閤婚)"등의 전통풍속과 이런 풍속 뒤에 내포된 음향오행문화의 관념을 분석하고 전통문화가 영화라는 현대 문화 예술 형식에서 보여 지는 방식, 방법, 규율을 탐구함으로써 더 나아가 세계화 시대에 어떻게 하면 더욱 자각적이고 자신 있게 서로 다른 인류문명에 대해 파악 할지에 대해 탐구하였다.

  • 본 연구는 첫 자녀 출산 후 부부관계 경험 및 적응 과정에 대한 이해를 위해 근거이론적 접근에 기초한 질적 분석을 시도하였다. 결혼 기간 5년 미만, 첫 자녀 출산 후 3년 이내의 부부 13쌍에 대해 심층 면담이 진행되었다. 면담 자료를 대상으로 범주화 작업을 거쳐, 출산 후 부부관계 경험 및 적응에 대한 패러다임을 추출할 수 있었다. 첫 자녀를 출산한 부부들에게 관계 변화를 야기하는 원인적 조건은 삼자적 가족구조로의 전환 및 결혼 적응 수준이었으며, 중심 현상으로는 양육 및 가사 부담, 출산 후 부부관계의 변화가 특징적으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 중심현상은 남편의 지원과 관심, 원가족 지원의 중재 변인을 통해 그 강도가 완화 또는 악화되었다. 작용/상호작용적 전략에서 추출된 주요 범주는 새로운 역할 인식과 적극적인 수용, 가족에 대한 의미부여였으며 이러한 전략이 성공적으로 진행되었을 때, 완성체로서의 가족 구성과 공유된 가치 경험이 얻어질 수 있었다. 선택 코딩을 통해 이론화를 시도한 결과 '부부의 새로운 역할 인식과 수용 및 우리성(We-ness)의 추구'라는 핵심범주가 추출되었다. 임신과 출산, 양육 전 과정에 걸쳐 부부가 하나의 단위로 움직이며, 적극적인 관심과 참여를 보이는 것으로 정의되는 '우리성'의 획득은 출산과 양육이라는 생애 전환기적 사건을 맞닥뜨린 부부가 이에 적응적으로 대응하고 안정된 부부관계를 유지하게 하는 근거가 되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • North Korean fugitives is one of various nominations referring to the North Koreans who have secretly crossed the territorial border of their country. It is a new terminology that huts gained wider usage in our society as we entered the 1990s. North Koreans list various motives for escaping their county, such as food shortage and disillusionment of belief in the system. Most of the forced repatriation of North Korean escapees takes place in China. The purpose of this study examines the family knife of female fugitives from North Korea in order to provide pertinent alterntives which are needed to secure basic human right of the female fugitives and enable them to keep stability of their family lives and to adapt themselves into new socio-cultural circumstances in China. For this, the preliminary survey performed to examine the demographic characteristics on the female fugitives; to find out the incentives and channels of their escape out of North Korea; to investigate what types of family life and family relationship they manage in China; to grasp their problems and need of family life in adaptation into Chinese society. The specific questions for grasping the general characteristics of the female fugitives are composed of age, education level residential district in North Korea. In order to find out main causes and influential factors of their escape from North Korea, the following questions are included: what the most important incentives and motives are; the frequency of escape; and whether they discuss their escape with their family or not. The questions to find out their present actual life situations in China are about difficult things to adjust in China, family life, relationship with husband, and their conversational diction, the degree of their mastering the chinese language, the degree of their adaptation to chinese way of living, and so forth, which reveal to what extent they are adapted themselves to new cultural situation in China. This study collected the data through face-to-face personal interview from July to October, 1999 Yenben province along the China-North Korea border. Data from 202 female fugitives were used in final analysis. This study uses the SAS PC program for windows, Ver, 6.12 to analyze the data such as the distribution of frequency, percentage, mean and so on. The results from this analysis are follows; the most principal motive of North Korean women's escape to china is to eat to live because of famine. Concerning the year when the fugitives escape from North Korea, all of the interviewees haute escaped since 1990. After escape their continual contact with their family in North Korea, 81.7% of the respondent have not been in touch with their family. The main reasons for their not contacting with their family in North Korea are that it is not helpful although they contacts with their family. Female fugitives from North Korea have difficulties in life. They have rather stable relationship to their husband, but they have experienced difficulties in other aspects of family life. Their main difficulties are largely from their relationships to husbands'family members, and from the problems relate to their family in North Korea, and their children. Based on this study, further research has to present supportive policies that help North Korean female escapees live without being deprived and protect their human rights. And the development of practical program to help their efficient social adaptation has to be continued without stop together.

  • Grief that is not acknowledged and worked through may manifest itself in some emotional, mental or physical problem. In recent years much has been learned about coping with grief which the hospice program can utilize to help family members cope with their grief. This study was carried out to determine the helpfulness of the bereavement care of Severance Hospice and to learm more about the grief response of the bereaved. The tools used to collect data were an assessment form used in the bereavement program and the Grief Experience Inventory developed by Sanders and revised and translated 'by the researcher. Data was obtained from bereaved family members(54 for the final grief assessment and 39 for the grief response assessment) receiving bereavement follow-up, from July 1989 to March 1991. Results of the study were as follows: 1. Final Grief Assessment Regarding the resolution of their grief the majority of the bereaved accepted the reality of the death of their family member, while slightly more than three-quarters were able to express their feelings toward their loss. A large majority had returned to activities of daily living well or fairly well and had reinvested their energy in a person other than the deceased. In addition, the physical condition of the majority was good or fairly good. A majority of the bereaved considered the bereavement care to be helpful and almost three-quarters were not considered to be in need of more follow-up. 2. Grief Response Assessment Age was found to have a modoerately positive correlation to appetite disturbance(r=.41, P<.Ol) and loss of vigor(r=.37, P<.Ol) A moderately positive correlation was found between the number of contacts and sleep disturbance(r=2.38, P<.01) Significant differences were found between men and women in regard to guilt(t=2.38, P<.05), social isolation(t=2.44, P<.05) and depersonalization(t=2.07, P<.05) with men having the more intense grief. Significant differences were found in the grief responses of somatization(F=5.82, P<.001), physical symptoms(F=5.87, P<.OOl), appetite disturbance(F=4.40, P<.Ol), despair(3.79, P<,Ol), anger(Fp2.83, P<.05), social isolation(F=3.61, P<.05), guilt(F=3.62, P<.05) and depersonalization (F = 2.58, P <.05). In the first six of these grief responses mothers scored highest, followed by husbands and then wives, In the grief response of guilt, daughters scored highest and on the grief response of depersonalization sons scored highest. Only one grief response, that of sleep disturbance(t= -2.19, P<.05) was found to be statistically significant, with those family members who died at home having the higher scores. Based on the results of this study several suggestions are presented as follows: 1. Since unresolived grief can have a detrimental effect on the bereaved person's mental and phys. ical health it would be good for the nurse, to include questions related to death of family members and the bereaved person's response to the grief, in her nursing assessment. And in the case of unresolved grief the nurse should encourage the person to talk with a trusted friend or counselor and express their fellings of grief. 2. A study to determine the degree of resolution of the grief of those in the bereavement program could be carried out by use of the Grief Experience Inventory early in their bereavement and again 13 months after the death of their family member. 3. A comparison of the grief response of the bereaved in the bereavement program and bereaved not in the program could be carried out using the Grief Experience Inventory. 4. After bereavement programs have been started in other hospice programs it would be good to carry out a joint study of bereavement outcomes of those in the bereavement programs.

  • Senile Dementia is one of the dispositional mental disorder which has been known to the world since Hippocratic age. It has become a wide-spread social problem all over the world because of chronic disease processes and the demands of dependent care for several years as well as improbability of treatment of it at the causal level. Essentially, life styles of the older generation differ from those of the younger generation. While the fomer is used to the patriarchal system and the spirit of filial piet and respect, the latter is pragmatized and individualized under the effects of the Western material civilization. These differences between the two generations cause conflict between family members. In particular, the pain and conflict of care-givers who take care of a totally dependent dementia patient not only is inciting to the collapse of the family union, but is expanding into a serious social problem. According to this practical difficulty, this study has tried to compare dementia care-givers' experiences inter-culturally and to help set up more proper nursing interventions, describing and explaining them through ethnographies by participant observation and in-depth interviews that enable seeing them in a more close, honest and certain way. It also tries to provide a theoetical model of nusing care for dementia patients which is proper to Korean culture. This study is composed of 12 participants (4 males, 8 females) whose ages range from 37-71 years. The relations of patients are 5 spouses(3 husbands, 2 wives), 4 daughters-in-law, 2 daughters, and 1 son-in-law. The following are the care-givers' meaning of experiences that results of the study shows. The first is "psychological conflict". It contains the minds of getting angry, reproaching, being driven to dispair, blaming oneself, giving up lives, and being afraid, hopeless, and resigned. The second is "physical, social and psychological pressure" . At this stage, care-givers are shown to be under stress of both body and soul for the lack of freedom and tiredness. They also feel constraint because they hardly cope with the care and live through others' eyes. The third is "isolation". It makes the relationship of patient care-giver to be estranged, without understanding each other. They, also, experience indifference such as being upset and left alone. The forth is "acceptance" They gradually have compassion, bear up and then adapt themselves to the circumstances they are in. The fifth is "love". Now they learn to reward the other with love. It is also shown that this stage contains the process of winning others' recognition. The final is "hope". In this stage they really want situations to go smoothly and hope everything will be O.K. These consequences enable us to summarize the principles of cue experience such as, in the early stage, negative response such as physical·psychological confusion, pain and conflict are primary. Then the stage of acceptance emerges. It is an initial positive response phase when care-givers may admit their situations. As time passes by a positive response stage emerges. At last they have love and hope. Three stages we noted above : however, there are never consistent situations. Rather it gradually comes into the stage of acceptance, repeating continuous conflict, pressure and isolation. If any interest and understanding of families or the support of surrounding society lack, it will again be converted to negative responses sooner or later. Otherwise, positive responses like hope and love can be encouraged if the family and the surroundings give active aids and understanding. After all, the principles of dementia care experiences neither stay at any stage, nor develop from negative stages to positive stages steadily. They are cycling systems in which negative responses and positive responses are constantly being converted. I would like to suggest the following based on the above conclusions : First, the systematic and planned education of dementia should be performed in order to enhance public relations. Second, a special medical treatment center which deals with dementia, under government's charge, should be managed. Third, the various studies approaching dementia care experiences result in the development of more reasonable and useful nursing guidelines.

  • Care is a central concept of nursing. Nursing would not exist without caring. Care and quality of life are closely related. Human behavior is a manifestation of culture. We can say that caring and nursing care are expression of culture. The nurse must understand the relationship of culture with care for ensure quality nursing care. But knowledge of cultural factors in nursing is not well developed. Time and in - depth study are needed to find meaningful relationships between culture and care. Nurses recognized the importance of culturally appropriate nursing There are two care systems in culturally based nursing. The folk care system and the professional nursing care system. The folk care system existed long before the professional nursing care system was introduced into this culture. If the discrepancy between these two care systems is great, the client may receive inappropriate nursing care. Culture and subcaltures are diverse and dynamic in nature. Nurses need to know the caring behaviors, patterns, and their meaning in their own culture. In Korea we have taken some first step to study cultural nursing phenomena. It is not our intent necessarily to return to the past and develop a nationalistic of nursing, but to identify the core of traditional caring and relate that to professional nursing care. Our Assumptions are as follows : 1) Care is essential for human growth, well being and survial. 2) 7here are diverse and universal forma, expressions, patterns, and processes of human care that exist transcul - turally. 3) The behaviors and functions of caring differ according to the social structure of each culture. 4) Cultures have folk and professional care values, beliefs, and practices. To promote the quality of nursing care we must understand the folk care value, beliefs, and practices. We undertook this study to understand caring in our traditional culture. The Goals of this study were as follows : 1) To identify patterns in caring behavior, 2) To identify the structural components of caring, and 3) To understand the meaning and some principles of caring. We faised several questions in this study. Who is the care-giver? Who is the care-receipient? Was the woman the major care -giver at any time? What are the patterns in caring behavior? What art the priciples underlying the caring process? We used an interdisciplinary team approach, composed of representatives from nursing and anthropology, to contribute in -depth understanding of caring through a socicaltural perspeetive. A Field study was conducted in Ro-Bong, a small agricultural kinship village. The subjects were nine women and one man aged be or more years of age. Data were collected from january 15 to 21, 1990 through opem-ended in-depth interviews and observations. The interview focused on caring behaviors sorrounding birth, aging, death and child rearing. We analysed these data for meaning, pattern and priciples of caring. In this report we describe caring behaviors surrounding childbirth. The care-givers were primarily mothers- in -low, other women in the family older than the mother - to- be, older neighbor woman, husbands, and mothers of the mother-to- be. The care receivers were the mother-to-be the baby, and the immediate family as a component of kinship. Emerging caring behavior included praying, helping proscribing, giving moral advice(Deug - Dam), showing concern, instructing, protecting, making preparations, showing consideration, touching, trusting, encouraging, giving emotional comfort, being with, worrying about, being patient, preventing problems, showing by an example, looking after bringing up, taking care of postnatal health, streng thening the health condition, entering into another's feelings(empathizing), and sharing food, joy and sorrow The emerging caring component were affection, touching, nurtuing, teaching, praying, comforting, encouraging, sharing. empathizing, self - discipline, protecting, preparing, helping and compassion. Emerging principles of. caring were solidarity, heir- archzeal relationships, sex - role distinction. Caring during birth expresses the valve of life and reflects the valued traditional beliefs that human birth is given by god and a unique unifying family event reaching back to include the ancestors and foreward to later generations. In addition, We found positive and rational foundations for traditionl caring behaviors surrounding birth, these should not be stigmatized as inational or superstitious. The nurse appropriately adopts the rational and positive nature of traditional caring behaviors to promote the quality of nursing care.
