본 연구는 대기오염에 대한 인식과 삶의 만족도의 관계에서 녹지환경 만족도의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 2018년 사회조사 자료를 활용하였으며, 조절회귀분석을 이용하여 총 37,461명을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 녹지환경에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 삶의 만족도가 증가하였으며, 대기오염에 대한 인식이 부정적일수록 삶의 만족도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 녹지환경에 대한 만족도는 대기오염 인식과 삶의 만족도 사이의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 다시 말해, 녹지환경에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 대기오염에 대한 부정적 인식이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 완충하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 삶의 만족도 저하 예방을 위해 녹지 환경이 중요한 자원으로 고려되어야 하며, 지역사회에서 녹지 환경의 확장과 개선을 위한 다양한 방안들이 개발될 필요가 있음을 보여준다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although the issues of singles' dietary style and quality of life are becoming important due to the increasing number of singles with economic power, little research has been conducted to date on singles' use of convenience food and quality of life in relation to their dietary style. Thus, the present study intends to provide basic data to improve the quality of life by determining the current status of the use of convenience food and explicating its relationship with quality of life through analyzing the dietary lifestyles of the singles. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The targets of this study were singles, identified as adults between the ages of 25 and 54, living alone, either legally or in actuality having no partner. A statistical analysis of 208 surveys from Seoul, respectively, was conducted using SPSS12.0 for Windows and SEM using AMOS 5.0 statistics package. RESULTS: The convenience-oriented was shown to have a significant positive effect on convenience food satisfaction. HMR satisfaction was found to have a significant effect on positive psychological satisfaction and the convenience-oriented was found to have a significant negative effect on all aspects of quality of life satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: There must be persistent development of food industries considering the distinctive characteristics of the lives of singles in order to satisfy their needs and improve the quality of their lives.

영역 만족도와 삶의 만족도의 상관관계에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 다양한 영역 만족도를 종합적으로 고려하여 개별 영역 만족도가 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감 각각에 미치는 영향력을 살펴본 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 게다가 관련 연구들은 대부분 서구 문화권에서 진행되어 왔으며 문화비교 연구는 많이 이뤄지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각 영역 만족도(건강한 라이프스타일, 가족관계, 외모, 재정상황, 학업 성적에 대한 만족도)가 개인의 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감과 어떤 관계를 가지는지 살펴봄과 동시에, 문화별로 어떤 특정 영역이 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 더 잘 예측하는지 한국과 캐나다 두 문화권의 대학생 참가자들을 대상으로 알아보았다. 그 결과, 두 문화에서 다섯 영역의 만족도는 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감과 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 흥미롭게도, 다섯 영역을 종합적으로 고려했을 때, 문화별로 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 예측하는 가장 중요한 요인들에 차이가 있었다. 한국인의 경우 건강한 라이프스타일이 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 가장 잘 설명하는 요인으로 나타났다. 반면, 유럽계 캐나다인의 경우 외모 만족도가 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감 모두를 예측하는 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며, 다음으로는 건강한 라이프스타일 만족도가 행복 요소들을 가장 잘 설명하였다. 본 연구 결과는 개인의 주관적 안녕감의 예측에 있어, 문화 공통적으로 영향을 끼치는 삶의 영역이 있으며, 더불어 문화의 특성에 따라 더 좋은 예측력을 가지는 삶의 영역도 있음을 보여준다.

This study was conducted to determine the elements that are required and that need improvement in the contents of dietary life education and the educational environment by analyzing the importance-satisfaction of a dietary life education program for dietary life education trainees. The results of the rank test for the satisfactory elements of dietary life education were in the order of competence of instructors, educational contents, time of education, educational environment and affordability of tuition. The importance-satisfaction analysis of the contents and construction of the dietary life education program showed that "suitable contents for the theme of the class", "contents and construction of practice class", "diversity of practice menu" and "diversity of educational contents" had high importance and satisfaction scores and therefore, could be maintained at their current levels. Meanwhile, "adequacy of class time" and "contents and construction of theory class" showed low importance and satisfaction scores, requiring a little effort. Whereas, "time and construction of group practice", "structure of textbook for class" and "duration of course and number of classes" showed relatively low satisfaction compared to importance, requiring major efforts for improvement. Similarly, analysis of the lecture element from dietary life education showed that "professional lecture by instructors", "lectures suitable for themes" and "lecture applicable in real life" had relatively low satisfaction compared to importance, requiring major efforts for improvement. In addition, analysis of the educational environment from dietary life education showed that "adequacy of lecture room space", "cooking equipment", "diversity of cooking utensils" and "sanitary condition of cooking utensils" also require major efforts for improvement. Therefore, dietary life education should not be executed with a simple delivery of knowledge but with both theory and practice classes to increase its application in real life, and active and specific efforts are required to nurture professional instructors and establish educational strategies.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the relationship of family function, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and general characteristics to loneliness in community dwelling Korean elders and identify factors affecting loneliness. Method: With a cross-sectional causal-relationship design and a convenience sample, 205 elders residing in three districts of the city of Seoul, S. Korea were recruited. Participants were assessed using the Family APGAR Score, Self-Esteem Scale, Life-Satisfaction Scale, and Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale. Results: The mean score for degree of loneliness (Mean=39.61, SD=10.09) was just below the mean for the scale (Possible range 20-80). Loneliness had significant negative correlations with family function (r= -.400, p<.001), self-esteem (r= -.399, p<.001), and life satisfaction (r= -.644, p<.001). Other general characteristics that had significant or nearly significant relationships with loneliness were perceived current financial and health status, whether doing any exercise or physical activities, degree of close relationship with family members, and length of living in current residence. Among variables, life satisfaction (Standardized ${\beta}\;=\;-.589$, p<.001) and length of living in current residence (Standardized ${\beta}\;=\;-.136$, p<.05) significantly predicted degree of loneliness. Conclusion: Findings of this study allow a comprehensive understanding of loneliness and related factors among community dwelling elders in Korea. However, further studies with a larger random sample from various living environments are necessary.

This study was conducted to develop a construct model regarding the daily activities, emotional security provided by food, enjoyment of food, level of satisfaction with delivered food, and the quality of life of homebound seniors who benefitted from meal delivery programs. The data were analyzed by SAS 9.2 and the Structural Equation Model (SEM), which was created by Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) 5.0 packages. The reliability of the data was confirmed by an exploratory factor analysis and through a Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the measurement model proved to be appropriate by a confirmatory factor analysis of the measurement model in conjunction with AMOS. The results of the correlations between all the variables showed significant positive correlations (P < 0.05). The path analysis demonstrated that the daily activities (P < 0.01) and the emotional security created by food (P < 0.05) had positive correlations with the foodservice satisfaction (P < 0.05), while the daily activities (P < 0.05), the sense of emotional security made by food (P < 0.05), and food enjoyment (P < 0.05) also presented significant positive correlations with the quality of life. However, the food service satisfaction was shown to directly, but not significantly, affect the quality of life. This revealed that the current meal delivery programs needed to be improved in several directions.
