  • 국제적 추세와 사례를 감안하여 볼 때 웹 접근성 문제는 점점 더 중요한 이슈로 부각될 것이 자명하다. 정보기술이 한국사회 전반에 걸쳐 폭넓게, 빠르게 변화시키고 있지만, 장애인, 노인 등은 정보 서비스의 활용에서 소외되고 있다 그들이 직면한 가장 큰 장애 중의 하나가 웹 서비스의 접근성 부재라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 사회적 문제들은 정보기술과 복지정책과 관련해서 연구되어야 할 매우 중요한 과제로 부각되고 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구 노력은 아직 매우 부족한 실정에 있다. 본 연구의 목표는 무선 인터넷 사용자 인터페이스 설계 지침을 개발함으로써 정보격차 해소에 기여하고, 시각장애인들이 웹 접근권을 보장받을 수 있도록 하는 데 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 웹 접근성 관련 법률 및 정책동향을 살펴보고 시각장애인의 웹 접근성 향상을 위한 몇 가지 새로운 무선인터넷 사용자 인터페이스 설계지침을 제안하였다.

  • Expenditures on pharmaceuticals of different concepts were estimated and their functional, financing and providers' breakdowns were examined in line with the OECD's System of Health Accounts (SHA) manual. This study also shows the way such estimates are made. The results are then analyzed particularly from the international perspective. Data from both Household Survey by the National Statistical Office and the National Health and Nutritional Survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea were used to estimate pharmaceutical expenditures that. are financed by out-of-pocket payments of the household, while national health insurance data etc. were used for estimation of pharmaceutical expenditures that are financed by public funding sources. The 'per capita expenditure on pharmaceutical/medical non-durables' in Korea stood at 380 US$ PPPs, less than the OECD average of 443 US$ PPPs in 2006, but its share of the per capita health expenditure of 25.9% noticeably outnumbered the OECD average of 17.1%, due partly to low per capita health expenditure as a denominator of the ratio. This indicates that Koreans tend to spend less on health care than an OECD average, while tending to spend more on pharmaceuticals than on other health care services, much like the pattern found in relatively low income countries. An international pharmaceuticals pricing mechanism is most likely responsible for such a tendency. In addition, it is to be noted that the percentage comes down to 21.0%, when expenditures on both medical non-durables and herbal medicine, which is locally quite popular among the elderly, have been excluded.

  • Recently, concern about family safety is rising again as an important issue with the context of family healthiness and well-being in Korean society despite of the dramatic economic growth. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of family safety of singles and single-parent households and to investigate the effect of social capital on the level of their family safety. Data are from the 10th wave of Korea Welfare Panel Study analysing one-person households(N=2,017) and single-parent households(N=172). One-person households were categorized as three groups by age(the youths/middle-aged/the elderly) and single-parent households were also three by family types(mother-child/fahter-child/grandparent-child). The major results were as follows: First, the mean of family safety index was highest among middle-aged, while single youths had the fewest problems in terms of family safety. Second, social capital was found to vary by family structure. In the one-person households, all the levels of the social capital variables, including trust, bond, acceptance, and participation, differed significantly; only two variables, bond and embracement, differed in the single-parent households. Third, social capital differed between the low-income households and others significantly. Forth, the positive effects of social capital on overcoming family safety problems were investigated. In conclusion, social capital represents an alternative resource for overcoming economic hardship for low-income one-person/single-parent households, especially for middle-aged singles and father-child single-parent households. Based on these empirical results, theoretical implications were discussed with regard to family policy and programs.

  • The objective of this study was to identify the risk factor and protection factor related to suicide ideation in each life course based on an ecological-system perspective. A questionnaire was carried out for 393 adolescents, 473 adults and 376 aged men living nationwide. The results are as follows. First, the suicide ideation was low with 1.78 points in the full mark of 5 points. Second, the difference in suicide ideation, depression, hopelessness, stress in the organic system variables, family solidarity in the micro system variables, intermediate system variables, residence, the existence/inexistence of counselling center and the influence of mass media in mezo system variables in each life course were significant. Third, the relative influence of organic system variables on the suicide ideation were largest in all life courses. Further, the depression and the influence of mass media in all life courses were a risk factor of suicide ideation and stress was also a risk factor of suicide ideation in the case of adolescents and the aged. When examining protection factors of suicide ideation, family solidarity, minute as it is, works as the protection factor of suicide ideation in the case of adolescents. For the adults, living in a metropolis was a protection factor from suicide ideation. For the aged, family solidarity, family history of suicide and adult children's attention to their friends and neighbors (intermediate system variable) were protection factors from suicide ideation. I suggested that policy, service, counseling and educational program proper to each life course were necessary to lower risk factors of suicide ideation and to improve protection factors.

  • 4차 산업혁명 '인공지능 시대'를 맞이하여 ICT 기술의 발전은 온·오프라인 교육환경에 다양한 영향을 미치고 있다. 온라인 교육의 대중화는 교육 패러다임을 변화시켜 학습자 중심의 서비스로 전환하여 새로운 교육 환경의 변화가 요구되는 시점에서 플립러닝에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 성인학습자의 경우 생애 전반에 걸쳐 보다 다양한 학습과정의 온라인 학습 수요가 강하게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 K사이버대학교의 중·장년층 온라인 학습자를 대상으로 플립러닝을 활용한 반복학습이 학습 몰입과 학습 흥미가 학습 만족도에 미치는 영향의 관계검증과 구조관계에 어떻게 되는지 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 플립러닝을 근간으로 한 학습 만족도를 위한 방향성 제시를 위한 연구에 의의가 있다. 향후 연구에서는 측정할 수 있는 다양한 요인 분석의 모델을 구체화하여 적용한다면 플립러닝을 근간으로 한 학습만족도를 더욱 극대화할 수 있는 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 지난 5년간 수면질환자 수는 2017년 84만명에서 2021년 109만명으로 약 25만명이 증가하는 등 수면장애인구에 관한 정부의 수면다원검사 급여화이후 그 관리비용은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 또한 수면장애가 치매 위험인자를 유발하는 요인이며, 나아가 초고령화 추세에서 전국민 건강관리라는 측면에서 수면장애인구는 향후 안정적인 건강보험 재정관리 측면에서도 매우 중요한 정책이슈이다. 따라서 본 연구는 최근들어 증가하는 수면장애인구에 관한 수면다원검사현황 및 효과적인 급여정책화가 실제 이를 담당하는 의료기관에서 효율적인 진료환경을 구축하고 있으며, 그 올바른 시행을 통해 향후 수면장애에 관한 적정한 수면관리정책으로 기능하고 있는지 관련기관 및 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 그 실태와 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다.
