Purpose: The purposes of this study were to develop and test a prediction model for caregiving experiences including caregiving satisfaction and burden in dementia family caregivers. Methods: The stress process model and a two factor model were used as the conceptual frameworks. Secondary data analysis was done with 320 family caregivers who were selected from the Seoul Dementia Management Survey (2014) data set. In the hypothesis model, the exogenous variable was patient symptomatology which included cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, dependency in activity of daily living and in instrumental activity of daily living. Endogenous variables were caregiver's perception of dementia patient's unmet needs, caregiving satisfaction and caregiving burden. Data were analysed using SPSS/WINdows and AMOS program. Results: Caregiving burden was explained by patient symptomatology and caregiving satisfaction indicating significant direct effects and significant indirect effect from unmet needs. The proposed model explained 37.8% of the variance. Caregiving satisfaction was explained by patient symptomatology and unmet needs. Mediating effect of unmet needs was significant in the relationship between patient symptomatology and caregiving satisfaction. Conclusion: Results indicate that interventions focusing on relieving caregiving burden and enhancing caregiver satisfaction should be provided to caregivers with high levels of dementia patients' unmet needs and low level of caregiving satisfaction.

Self-administered questionnaire method was performed to collect data from 259 couples who lived in Chollabuk-Do province I'he major results of this research were as follows: First, there were significant differences in caregiving burden, inter-generational solidarity, and marital satisfaction between husbands and wives. That is, the level of caregiving burden was found to be lower for husbands than for wives, while the degrees of marital satisfaction and inter-generational solidarity were higher for husbands than for wives. The levels of caregiving burden and inter-generational solidarity were also found to be different according to parents financial capacity and social activities. Second, Both husbands' and wives' marital satisfaction were positively correlated with inter-generational solidarity and negatively with caregiving burden. Finally, results of multiple regression analyses showed that husbands' marital satisfaction was negatively influenced by strain and positively by affectional solidarity after controlling the effect of age, educational level, and parents' social activities.

본 연구는 돌봄 관련 변수가 손자녀를 돌보는 조모의 신체 건강 만족도와 여가 활동 만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 손자녀를 돌보는 조모 141명을 대상으로 수집된 자료는 기술 통계와 Pearson의 적률상관계수, 위계적 중다회귀로 분석되었다. 연구 결과, 신체 건강 만족도에는 조모의 교육 수준과 월 가계 총 소득, 돌보는 손자녀 수, 성인 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등여부가 영향 변수였다. 즉, 교육 수준이 높을수록, 월 가계 총 소득이 높을수록, 돌보는 손자녀의 수가 많을수록, 성인 자녀와 돌봄 갈등이 없는 경우, 조모의 신체 건강 만족도가 높았다. 여가 활동 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 조모의 교육 수준과 성인 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등 여부가 포함되어, 조모의 교육 수준이 높을수록, 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등이 없을 때, 이들의 여가 활동 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 함의를 논하였고 정책적, 실천적 측면에서 제언하였다.

본 연구는 돌봄경험의 긍정적 측면을 조명하기 위한 목적으로 지역사회에서 정신장애인을 돌보는 어머니를 대상으로 돌봄만족감의 수준이 어느 정도이며, 어떤 요인들이 이에 영향을 미치는지에 관해 알아보았다. 연구대상자는 서울 및 경인지역의 지역정신보건센터, 사회복귀시설 및 낮병원을 이용하는 정신장애인을 돌보는 어머니이며, 총 231명이다. 돌봄만족감에 영향을 미치는 요인에는 정신장애 관련 요인으로 정신장애인의 유병기간, 입원횟수 및 사회기능이, 어머니의 개인적 요인으로 연령, 결혼상태, 가족수입, 신체적 건강이, 그리고 관계적 요인으로 정신장애인과 어머니관계의 질과 어머니가 가족, 친구 및 의미 있는 타자와의 관계를 통해 받는 사회적 지지가 포함되었다. 자료분석을 위해 t-test, Oneway-ANOVA, 상관관계분석, 그리고 위계적 다중회귀분석(hierachical multiple regression analysis) 등이 사용되었다. 연구결과 어머니의 돌봄만족감은 5점 척도에서 평균 3.06점으로 중간보다 약간 높게 나타났다. 최종 회귀분석모델에서 어머니의 돌봄만족감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인은 어머니의 결혼상태, 가족수입, 정신장애인과의 관계의 질, 그리고 사회적 지지였으며, 정신장애인의 사회기능 등 정신장애 관련 요인은 돌봄만족감에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 돌봄경험의 긍정적 측면으로 실재하는 돌봄만족감에 대한 실천적 관심이 필요함과 더불어 이를 증진하기 위한 사회복지실천적 개입 방안이 연구의 함의로 제시되었다.

Purpose: This study was done to develop and test a structural model for caregiving experience including caregiving satisfaction and caregiving strain in families providing care for family members with a mental disorder. Methods: The Stress-appraisal-coping model was used as the conceptual framework and the structural equation model to confirm the path that explains what and how variables affect caregiving experience in these families. In this hypothesis model, exogenous variables were optimism, severity of illness and uncertainty. The endogenous variables were self efficacy, social support, caregiving satisfaction and caregiving strain. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: Optimism and caregiving self-efficacy had significant direct and indirect effects on caregiving satisfaction. Optimism, severity of illness and uncertainty had significant direct and indirect effects on caregiving strain. The modified path model explained effects of optimism on caregiving self-efficacy with social support in the path structure as a mediator. Also, there were direct and indirect effects of optimism and uncertainty on caregiving satisfaction with social support and caregiving self-efficacy in the path structure as a mediators. Conclusion: Results suggest the need to improve caregiving self-efficacy of these families, establish support systems such as a mental health professional support programs for caregiving self-efficacy. Optimism, severity of illness and uncertainty perceived by families need to be considered in the development of support programs in order to increase their effectiveness.

본 연구는 치매환자 가족돌봄자의 돌봄만족감에 대한 개념적 정의와 속성을 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법은 혼종모형을 이용하였으며, 이론적 고찰과 7명의 대상자로부터 수집된 현장조사 결과는 최종 단계에서 통합하여 분석하였다. 연구결과로 돌봄만족감은 3개의 차원과 7개의 속성으로 도출되었다. 돌봄만족감의 정의는 가족돌봄자가 경험하는 돌봄에 대한 긍정적인 측면으로서, 관계 차원에서 돌봄의 의무 실천과 상호호혜적 관계로 여기고, 환자와 가족간 관계에서 유대감 강화, 역할수행 차원에서는 성취감, 정서적 보상감, 심리적 안정감을 느끼고, 역할 의미 차원에서 긍정적 의미부여를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 기초로 하여 한국의 치매환자 가족돌봄자의 돌봄만족감 측정도구와 돌봄만족감 증진을 위한 효율적인 간호중재 프로그램 개발을 제언한다.

This study was conducted in order to understand grandmothers' intent of caring for working mothers' children and the influence of related variables with regard to living arrangements. The data was collected from 245 grandmothers who have been caring for their grandchildren for more than 6 months. The data was analyzed by mean, t-test, x2-test, and logistic regression analysis. The results were as follows: first, as to whether the grandmothers were willing to take care of their grandchildren again, 56.5% answered "yes", while 43.5% were not willing to do so. Those who were not living together with their grandchildren were more likely to answer positively. Second, it was found upon analysis that the significant variables of the experience differed according to grandmothers' residential status. In the case of co-residing grandmothers, the significant variables were the number and age of the grandchildren, their relationship, satisfaction, and feeling of burden, while only satisfaction was significant in non-co-residing grandmothers' cases. This implies that the more satisfaction the non-co-residing grandmothers experience, the more likely they are willing to take care of their grandchildren again. As for the co-residing grandmothers, it implies that the characteristics of the grandchildren, satisfaction, and feeling of burden, all influence their caregiving intent for the next time.

Objectives: This study was carried out in order to evaluate the overall process that the caregiving stress of parents of adult children with developmental disabilities affected their life satisfaction through the levels of family resilience, and coping styles on the basis of stress-coping-adaptation model of Lazarus and Folkman(1984). Method: For this purpose, the structured survey was conducted by 394 parents of adult children with developmental disabilities. The data was analysed by AMOS 20.0 version. Results: The findings can be summarized as follows: First, the structural equation model(SEM) analysis was conducted in order to examine the various paths that parents' caregiving stress affected their life satisfaction. The model's goodness-of-fit was fine($x^2=225.20$, df=95, p=000. RMSEA=.06, TLI=.95). There were significant relationships between caregiving stress and family resilience(${\beta}=-.36$, p<.001), emotion-focused coping style(${\beta}=.47$, p<.001), life satisfaction(${\beta}=-.53$, p<.001). Second, family resilience and emotion-focused coping showed mediating effects on the relationship between caregiving stress and life satisfaction. Conclusions: The strategies for enhancing family resilience and social services for applying effective coping methods should be expanded in order to diminish the caregiving stress of parents of adult children with developmental disabilities.
