Objective: Participation restrictions are serious problems that stroke survivors experience while reintegrating into family, work, community, and social situations after participating in rehabilitation programs. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors affecting participation in activities of daily living (ADL), as well as social and leisure activities of individuals with hemiparetic stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The study involved 96 participants who were diagnosed with a first stroke 6 months before the study (58 men, 38 women; $60.3{\pm}14.3years$). The Berg Balance Scale, Modified Barthel Index, Manual Function test, and Activity Card Sort were used to assess static and dynamic balance function, upper limb function, level of independence, and their level of participation within the community. A regression analysis was used to identify the influence of factors affecting participation in ADL, social and recreational activities. Results: The Activity Card Sort scores were significantly affected by the Manual Function test and Modified Barthel Index scores (p<0.05). Participation in leisure activities was affected by the level of independence. Participation in social activities was affected by the balance function and level of independence of the participants. Conclusions: The results of this study have shown that participation restrictions are affected by upper limb function, balance function, and the level of independence in individuals with hemiparetic stroke.

The data in this study comes from a 1 percent free sample of the 2010 Population and Housing Census collected by Statistics Korea. The statistical methods for this study were percentage, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. The findings are as follows. First, there are differences in participation in social activities according to number of infants, number of preschool children, and number of elementary schoolchildren. Second, there was the difference in participation in social activities between full-time housewives and full-time wives' husbands. Third, factors like full-time housewives' age, educational level, number of preschool children and elementary schoolchildren, number of rooms, and occupancy status affected participation in social activities by full-time housewives. These results show that full-time housewives were under pressure in relation to participation in social activities because of their caregiving labor but participated in religious and educational activities actively.

The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of social participation among female baby boomers. The key research questions were asked in what kind of activities do female baby boomers engage as social participation? The in-depth interview was used with 11 female baby boomers who were born between 1955 to 1963. The interview text were analyzed by the qualitative study method. The findings are as follows. First, the most common type of social participation was having hobbies and leisure activities, and the other were participating in religious activities, learning activities, volunteer activities and on-line club activities. Second, social participation gave them meanings such as joy, satisfaction, and experiences of seeing the new world as well as opportunities to make up low sense of self-esteem formed in their young age. Third, they were considering it was time to change their social participation. The cases who were actively engaging in social participation considered old age as 'the process of reducing social participation'. Some other cases considered to 'share hobbies with spouse', and to 'achieve new goals and dreams'. The results showed that female baby boomers started their social participation in their middle ages when they became free from their children's education. The level of the involvement in social participation was reduced in their old age. Surprisingly, some interviewees planned to accomplish their dreams and goals that they haven't achieved yet. These differences among the cases could be attributed to the individual characteristics such as personality, birth order, economic and educational background, and to the social relationship.

본 연구는 노인의 사회참여활동을 종합적으로 분석하고 성공적 노화에 미치는 영향과 자아탄력성의 매개효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 조사대상은 고양시의 3개동에 거주하는 60세 이상의 301명의 노인이며, 구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집 하였으며, SPSS 18,0과 AMOS 21로 분석 하였다. 본 연구 결과는 인구사회학적 변수인 성별, 연령, 종교, 동거인, 직업유무가 사회참여활동에 영향을 나타냈고, 직업의 유무는 성공적 노화에도 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 사회참여활동 하위변수인 자기개발참여활동이 성공적 노화에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 노인의 자아탄력성은 사회참여활동과 성공적 노화와의 관계에서 완전 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 단, 자기개발참여활동과의 관계에서는 부분매개효과를 보여주었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 토대로 노인의 사회참여활동과 성공적 노화를 위한 실천적 방안을 제시하고 자아탄력성의 중요성을 재조명 하였다.

노년기에 접어든 개인의 사회참여활동은 삶의 만족도를 높일 뿐 아니라 건강상태에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 왔지만, 우리나라 노인의 사회참여활동 비율은 여전히 높지 않다. 본 연구는 노년기의 개인이 가지는 연령정체성과 사회참여활동 정도의 관계를 살펴보고, 두 변수의 관계에 있어서 성별에 따른 차이가 있는지 검증하였다. 연구가설 검증을 위하여 2014년도 전국노인실태조사를 통해 조사된 지역사회에 거주하는 65세 이상의 10,451명의 전국적으로 대표적인 표본의 2차 자료를 사용하였고 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석한 결과, 젊은 연령정체성을 가진 개인에 비해 노인 연령정체성을 가진 개인이 사회참여활동에 덜 참여하는 것으로 나타났으며 이러한 연령정체성과 사회참여활동의 관계는 여성 집단에서만 유의하였다. 결론적으로 노인의 적극적인 사회참여활동을 위해서는 연령정체성에 대해 관심을 가질 필요가 있고, 특히 여성의 경우 연령정체성에 따라 사회참여활동 정도가 유의하게 달라지기 때문에 사회참여활동 장려 프로그램 진행시 성별 차이를 고려한 접근이 필요함을 제언하였다.

Results : The results of this study were as follows. In the case of the elderly without chronic diseases, only the employment status (${\beta}=.135$, p<.01) had a significant effect on the health of the elderly. In the case of elderly people with chronic illness, participation in lifelong education (${\beta}=.183$, p<.001), participation in social group (${\beta}=.277$, p<.001), volunteer work experience (${\beta}=.060$, p<.05), and employment status (${\beta}=.342$, p<.001) had a significant effect on health. Conclusions : Policies and systems are needed to actively encourage and support the social activities of the elderly.

This study examines the human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors that influence social participation among the elderly in the future. The data, 'Survey on the Elderly in 2014', were collected from 'The Ministry of Health & Welfare' and the 'Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs'. The samples included 10,279 elderly people who were over 65 years of age. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings are as follows. First, the highest participation awareness level of all was for the hobbies and leisure activities, and the lowest participation awareness level was for volunteer activities. Second, human capital factors such as age, education level, and health status, and economic capital factors such as household consumption expenditure and standard of living signigicant affected social participation awareness among the elderly. Psychological factors such as self-esteem, depression, and the subjective age of becoming elderly, also affected the social participation awareness. Third, awareness differed by sex. In particular, age and depression were restrictions of social participation awareness that were more common among elderly women than among elderly men, although single women were more likely to participate in religious, learning, and hobby and leisure activities. In contrast, chronic diseases and household consumption expenditures were more restrictive of social participation awareness among elderly men compared to elderly women. These results show that human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors heavily influence the social participation awareness of the elderly, although the degree of influence of these factors differs by sex.

본 연구의 목적은 베이비붐 세대를 대상으로 노후 사회참여 의향 예측요인을 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위해 성별과 거주지에 따른 할당표본을 한 강현정(2012)의 데이터 1115부를 분석에 이용하였다. 첫째, 현재의 사회참여는 경제활동 77.7%, 자원봉사활동 27.0%, 여가활동 79.3%로 경제활동과 여가활동에 비해 자원봉사활동에의 참여가 상당히 낮았다. 그러나 노후 사회참여 의향은 경제활동 80.9%, 자원봉사활동 76.7%, 여가활동 82.2%로 고른 분포를 보였다. 둘째, 현재 사회참여를 하는 베이비붐 세대는 노후에도 사회참여를 하려는 의향이 높았다. 그런데 현재는 사회참여를 하지 않으나 노후에는 사회참여를 하고자 하는 베이비붐 세대가 경제활동의 경우에는 55.8%, 자원봉사활동의 경우에는 70.6%, 여가활동의 경우에는 66.5%였다. 셋째, 현재 사회참여여부가 노후 사회참여 의향의 가장 강력한 예측변인이었다. 이러한 결과를 지속성의 이론의 관점에서 논의하였으며, 노후 삶의 만족도에 중요 변수로 알려진 사회참여를 활성화시키기 위해서는 중년기부터의 준비가 필요하다는 점을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 인구 고령화 및 1인가구의 증가 등의 사회문제를 고려하여 1인가구 중고령자의 사회참여활동, 인지기능, 우울의 관계를 분석하고 이 관계에 대하여 인지저하 및 치매의심 집단과 일반집단에 따른 집단비교 분석을 실시하는 데 목적을 두었다. 분석을 위해 경로분석 및 다집단분석을 실시하였고, 분석결과 1인가구 중 고령자의 사회참여활동은 인지기능 증가를 통해 우울을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났고, 사회참여활동의 긍정적 효과는 인지저하 및 치매의심 집단에서 더 강한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 사회참여활동과 사회참여활동을 촉진할 수 있는 방안, 인지기능이나 정신건강에 도움이 될 수 있는 프로그램 개발에 대한 시사점을 논의하였고, 특히 인지기능이 저하되어 있는 집단에서 사회참여활동의 효과가 더 긍정적이었다는 점을 감안하여, 요양시설 등에서 고립된 치료보다는 사회성 증진을 함께 도모할 수 있는 프로그램이나 치료방법의 필요성 등을 제언하였다.
