Purpose: This study was designed to identify how parenting stress and empowerment affect the quality of life in caregivers of children with disabilities. Methods: Caregivers assuming parenting responsibilities for children with disabilities under 18 yr of age were recruited at 8 local welfare centers, homes for children with disabilities, and parent associations in U city. They were asked to complete a questionnaire in a face to face interview or by self-report, and 265 data units were analyzed with stepwise multiple regression. Results: Parenting stress, empowerment and monthly income were statistically significant explaining 39% of the variance. Among the subconstructs of parenting stress and empowerment, parental distress ($\beta=-.42$, t=-6.45) and competence ($\beta=.30$, t=3.59) significantly influenced quality of life. Among the general characteristics, monthly income ($\beta=.10$, t=2.01) was found to be significantly related to quality of life. Conclusion: Nurses who work with children with disabilities and their caregivers need to focus on parental distress and competence to improve the quality of life of caregivers and to stimulate development in children with disabilities.

A survey was conducted by mail and visit in person during the period from the 25th of March to the 12th of May 2005. Collected data were analyzed through t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient. Result: The mean burden of caregivers was 3.42, and the mean qualify of life of caregivers was 2.71. Burden and QoL showed significant differences according to caregivers' characteristics such as sender, age, relation to the patient, academic qualification, religion, occupation, monthly household income and perceived health condition. Caregivers' burden was in an inverse correlation with their quality of life. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, rare and incurable disease caregivers' burden and their quality of life were in a significant correlation with each other.

본 연구는 생태체계적 관점에서 폐광지역주민의 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인을 살펴봄으로써 폐광지역 주민의 생활만족도를 향상시키는 방안을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 본 연구의 대상자는 폐광지역에 거주하고 있는 30세 이상 주민 195명이며 2014년 4월 3일부터 20일까지 구조화된 설문조사를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 폐광지역 주민의 정신건강 정도는 일반정신건강 척도(KGHQ)를 사용하여 측정하였고, 생활만족도는 생활만족도 척도를 사용하여 알아보았다. 폐광지역 주민의 생활만족도는 중간보다 조금 높은 수준으로 미래생활만족도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 미시체계 요인군의 정신건강이 생활만족도가 영향을 주고 있었는데 하부 변수인 우울과 불안이 낮을수록 생활만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중간체계 요인에서는 생활만족도에 영향을 주는 요인이 나타나지 않았다. 거시체계 요인에서는 폐광지역 개발지원에 관한 특별법 시행이 생활만족도에 영향을 주고 있었다. 따라서 폐광지역주민의 생활만족도를 향상시키기 위하여 거시체계요인의 경제 활성화 정책의 지속적인 시행과 미시체계요인의 건강한 정신을 유지하기 사회적 및 정서적 지지를 위한 실천적 전략의 모색이 필요한 것으로 보인다.
