Purpose: This research was conducted to explore the experience of middle-aged women parting with their children and to develop a grounded theory. Method: The participants were 11 women in their 50's who had experienced parting with their children due to schooling, military service and marriage. The grounded theory methodology based on symbolic interactionism was used. Results: 106 concepts, 30 subcategories and 14 categories were derived from the analysis through processes of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. The central phenomenon was 'happy but sad' and the core category was a process of 'independence that is sorrowful yet delightful'. Four types were identified; the independent-type; submissive -type; family-reliant-type ; and fragile-type; based on the attachment to the child, state of mind, satisfaction of the situation, family support system and self-achievement. Conclusion: This research identified that the modern Korean middle-aged women who are considered to be the 'sandwich generation' since they have experienced a turbulent history and the change from a confucian parent-child lifestyle to a couple-oriented one, moved away from an attitude dependent on children in parting with them and started preparing for an independent late life. Based on the results, the verification research is advised on the variables that affect the experience of parting with children.

본 연구는 45세 이상 중노년기 부부를 대상으로 부부의 운동참여가 악력의 종단적 변화 궤적을 매개로 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 남편과 아내의 상호의존성에 기반하여 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 전국단위의 자료수집을 실시한 한국고령화연구패널의 1차(2006년)에서 6차(2016년)까지의 종단자료를 활용하였다. 연구대상은 1차년도에 45세 이상인 중노년기 부부 1,997쌍이다. 본 연구의 종속변수는 남편과 아내 각각의 삶의 만족도이며, 매개변수는 남편과 아내 각각의 악력의 초기값과 변화량, 독립변수는 부부의 운동참여이다. 분석과정은 상관분석, 평행잠재성장모형의 기초모형과 연구모형 분석, 매개경로에 관한 간접효과 검증의 세 단계로 진행되었다. 상관분석 결과 중노년기 부부인 남편과 아내는 동일 시점에서의 악력, 삶의 만족도와 관련하여 유의한 상관성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 평행잠재성장모형의 기초모8형 분석결과에 따르면 시간이 흐름에 따라 평균적으로 중노년기 남편과 아내의 악력이 감소하는 경향이 있는데, 악력의 초기값에 대해서는 부부인 남편과 아내의 상관성이 발견되었지만 악력의 종단적 변화량에 대해서는 상관성이 발견되지 않았다. 연구모형 분석결과에서 발견된 유의한 직접효과들을 토대로 매개경로에 관한 간접효과 검증을 실시한 결과, 부부의 운동참여가 남편의 악력 초기값을 매개로 남편의 삶의 만족도와 아내의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 두 개의 종단적 경로가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이와 더불어 남편만 운동에 참여하는 것 역시 남편의 악력 초기값을 매개로 아내의 삶의 만족도에 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구결과는 중노년기 부부의 노화 과정이 부부의 젠더관계와 상호의존성 맥락에서 이해될 필요가 있다는 것과 중노년기 부부의 운동참여를 증진시키고, 신체적 기능 감퇴를 예방하여 삶의 질을 증진하기 위해서는 부부단위의 접근이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

This study aims to analyze the trend of changes in the elderly living arrangement over the past 20 years and the reasons why the elderly choose these changes. The subjects of the survey were households aged 65 years or older in Korea. Data from the survey of Ministry of Health and Welfare conducted in 2004, 2014, 2020 were used for the analysis. The result of analysis was as follows; First, since 2000, the number of elderly households living with their children has been rapidly decreasing, while the number of elderly couple households and single elderly households is gradually increasing. Second, elderly living alone appeared more in rural areas, women, older people, and elderly with low education. They are in a vulnerable position that needs help. Therefore, welfare policies for the elderly should be focused on elderly single households. Finally the reason for choosing elderly single household in 2020 was that the voluntary choice by the individual accounted for a much higher rate than the unintentional choice by the children. In addition, the life satisfaction of the elderly who arbitrarily selected the living arrangement was higher than that of the elderly who deliberately chose the living arrangement.

The numbers of the elderly who suffer Empty Nest Syndrome have been accelerated as an aging population has increased vastly and nuclear families have been a dominating family type in modern Korean society. To make the elderly get out of this phenomenon and live actively, the scheme of converting their existing houses into shared houses was set as a hypothetical solution in this study, and finding out the responses of the elderly who owns their own houses is the purpose of the study. A small workshop panel method was used and the elderly aged 55 years upwards took part and they own a detached house that is relatively large for the elderly or the elderly couple to live alone. The workshop was consisted of 3 stages: 1. a survey 2. an interview 3. a site visit. Through this, problems that the elderly have been experiencing within their houses were looked into and the responses of the elderly on converting their houses to shared houses by introducing developed schematic plans. As a result, positive responses from the house owners were carried out based on the fact that subsidies from the government on house renovation and tenants matching programs are supported. Shared houses could provide home owners economical support with rents and help them to feel less lonely. This is one way of supporting the elderly to live and age actively in their later lives. Therefore, this idea should be established in connection with preparing aging, aged, and super-aged society.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This study was designed to figure out the results of proceeding research, to establish the recipients and service contents, and to develop handbook for elderly-elderly care in the rural area. The results of the study were as follows: The recipients of services were contained to healthy elderly from troubles elderly, solitude elderly, and old couple in the community. The range of the services by elderly-elderly carer were moral support, everyday life support and outside activity support. The handbook listed four areas of services including first meeting and observing, mind care, everyday life care, and outside activity care, and then described contents of 47 situations. The handbook will be great help to the rural elderly if it is given to participants of elderly-elderly care program along with the hall for the aged. Further efforts should be made to reflect feedbacks from rural area, and to make series to bring elderly carer up to date consistently.

To assess the awareness of cervical cancer among couples, data were collected from two urban slums community in Mumbai. A total of 1958 married women aged from 18 to 49 and their husbands were selected using simple random sampling. Women (37.7%) were significantly more aware of cervical cancer than husbands (8.7%). A slight agreement (kappa statistics=0.16) was observed between husbands and wives on awareness of cervical cancer. Significantly higher percentages of wives were aware of pap smear test than husbands. Overall, awareness of cervical cancer and pap smear test among couples is low. There is need to educate and motivate both of them to participate in cervical cancer screening program.
