Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine how children's transition to adulthood might be related to their parents' marital satisfaction and relationship satisfaction with children. Specifically, we investigated if the numbers of children who (1) graduated from 4-year college, (2) were employed, (3) were married, (4) moved out of parental homes and lived independently, and (5) had at least one child might be associated with better marital satisfaction and higher relationship satisfaction with children among midlife and older parents. We also evaluated if the associations might differ by gender of the children (sons vs. daughters) as well as by their gender and birth order (first-born son, later-born son, first-born daughter, later-born daughter). Method: The analytic sample was drawn from the 2006 Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The sample consisted of 1,905 parents whose children were aged between 25 and 35. For analysis, regression models with robust standard errors were estimated using Stata. Results: Results suggest that sons' (especially first-born sons') transition to adulthood exerted more consistent impacts on parents. More specifically, first-born sons' completion of higher education, marriage, and independent living arrangement were associated with either higher levels of parental marital satisfaction or relationship satisfaction with children. With regard to later-born sons, their completion of college education was linked to higher levels of parental marital satisfaction and relationship satisfaction with children. Conclusion: Korean parents appear to place greater importance on first-born sons' successful transition to adulthood compared to those of other children. Overall, however, transition to adulthood may have limited influence on Korean parents.

암환자에게 부부적응은 심리적인 안녕 뿐만 아니라 치료경과 및 생존율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되고 있어 이들의 부부적응을 도모하기 위한 사회복지 노력과 관심이 절실히 필요하다 하겠다. 이에 본 연구는 암환자와 배우자의 커플자료를 수집하여 이들의 부부적응에 대해 조사하였으며, 기초자료가 미비한 실정에서 부부관계의 지표로 부부적응에의 필수고려 요인으로 지목되고 있는 부부의사소통의 영향을 조사하였다. 또한 암환자와 배우자의 상호의존성을 고려하여 부부의사소통이 부부적응에 미치는 영향을 자기 자신에게 미치는 영향(자기효과), 상대방에게 미치는 영향(상대방효과)을 고찰하였다. 이를 통해 부부적응에 긍정적 부부의사소통의 중요성을 제시하였으며, 부정적 의사소통 유형인 요구-철회의사소통에서 환자의 배우자에 대한 상대방효과가 유의한 것으로 나타나 환자에 대한 의사소통 교육에의 필요성을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 실천적 함의 및 후속연구에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.
