  • 이 연구의 목적은 초, 중, 고등학교 학생의 손씻기 실천과 감기, 설사, 눈병, 식중독 등의 감염성 질환 이환과의 관련성을 파악함으로써 손씻기의 중요성을 강조하고, 학교 청소년의 손씻기 실천율을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 전국 16개 시도에 거주 중인 초등학교 4학년부터 고등학교 3학년까지 학생을 대상으로, 가구방문을 통한 방문면접과 온라인 조사를 9월 5일부터 9월 25일까지 시행하였다. 조사응답자의 일반적 특성과 손씻기 실태 및 손 씻는 방법을 독립변수로, 감기, 설사, 눈병, 식중독 등의 질병감염 여부를 종속변수로 하여 카이제곱검정과 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과를 종합해보면 식중독을 제외한 감기, 설사, 눈병 등의 질병감염 경험이 학년이 높을수록 많았다. 특히, 감기 감염경험의 경우 남성보다 여성에서, 비누와 물을 사용한 손씻기보다 물 또는 손소독제만 사용한 군에서, 손등을 씻는 군보다 손등을 안 씻는 군에서 감기 경험률이 높았다. 손씻기 실태조사 및 청소년건강행태온라인조사에서 학년이 높을수록 손씻기 실천이 낮은 점을 고려할 때, 이 연구에서 학년이 높을수록 질병감염 경험률이 높고, 특히 감기감염경험의 경우 손씻기 방법이 좋은 군일수록 경험률이 낮은 것은 기존연구와 마찬가지로 손씻기가 감기와 같은 감염병의 예방에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 판단된다. 청소년은 집단생활로 인한 감염병 질환의 위험이 높은 점을 고려할 때, 학교 내에서 청소년의 비누를 사용한 올바른 손씻기를 교육하고, 실천율을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구와 정책마련이 필요하다.

  • 본 연구는 국제결혼이주여성을 대상으로 다양한 학문분야에서 발표된 건강관련 선행연구 분석을 통하여 현재까지 진행된 연구들의 경향을 파악하고자 시도하였다. 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 2004년 6월부터 2009년 6월까지 최근 6년간 발표된 국내 학회지 논문 및 학위논문 60편을 연구대상으로 선정하여 연구대상 논문의 일반적 특성, 저자의 전공분야, 건강영역별 주제어와 변수 및 주요변수의 측정도구를 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 국제결혼이주여성 대상 논문 중 51편(84.9%)이 2007년 이후 발표되었으며, 발표형태는 석사논문 43편(71.7%)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 연구대상 논문 중 학회지 발표는 13편으로 한국가족복지학(3편, 23.1%)에 가장 많은 논문이 게재되었고, 석사학위논문은 사회복지학전공자가 25편(53.2%)으로 가장 많았다. 건강영역별로는 건강영역 2편(3.3%), 사회적 건강영역 18편(30.0%), 정신적 건강영역 36편(60.0%), 신체적 건강영역 4편(6.7%)이었다. 건강영역별 주제어는 사회적 건강영역에서의 주제어는 '적응'과 '의사소통' 2개이며, 정신적 건강영역의 주제어는 '결혼만족', '생활만족', '사회적지지', '스트레스', '우울', '부부갈등', '갈등' 등 7개였으며, 신체적 건강영역의 주제어는 '의료서비스기관 이용'과 '건강증진행위'로 나타났다. 연구대상 논문의 건강영역별 주제어에 따른 변수를 살펴보면, 건강영역 주제어의 변수는 삶의 질 2개, 사회적 건강영역의 주제어에 따른 변수는 적응 16개, 의사소통 5개이며, 정신적 건강영역 주제어 중 결혼만족 25개, 생활만족 11개, 사회적지지 3개, 스트레스 9개, 우울 25개, 부부갈등 25개였으며, 신체적 건강영역의 주제어에 따른 변수는 의료서비스기관 이용 6개, 건강증진행위 5개로 나타났다. 가장 많은 변수가 사용된 주제어는 변수가 25개인 결혼만족, 우울, 부부갈등으로 나타났다. 연구대상 논문의 건강영역별 주제어에 따른 주요변수의 측정도구 중 2회 이상 사용된 측정도구만을 제시한 결과, 건강 영역에서 주제어 '삶의 질'의 측정도구는 Campbell(1976)과 보건복지부(2005), 사회적 건강영역에서는 주제어 '적응'의 변수 중 문화적응의 측정도구 Sandhu & Asrabadi (1994), 정신적 건강영역에서는 주제어 '우울'의 변수 중 문화적응스트레스 측정도구 Sandhu와 Asrabadi(1994)가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 결론적으로 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 한 논문은 최근 다양한 학문분야에서 다양한 주제들로 연구되고 있으나 대부분이 한국 내 정착과 관련된 근본적인 문제만을 다루고 있다. 그러나 국제결혼 이주여성에게 쉽게 적응하기 어려운 타문화권의 생활은 신체적, 정신적, 사회적 불건강상태를 초래할 수 있다. 즉, 본 연구의 주제어에서 알 수 있듯이 국제결혼 이주여성과 가족들에게 잠재적인 건강문제가 발생할 수 있음을 예측할 수 있다. 따라서 국제결혼 이주여성들의 한국 내 적응과정을 돕고 2차적으로 발생할 수 있는 건강문제를 예방하기 위하여 건강과 관련된 다각적인 연구 및 건강관리 방향을 모색할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

  • 채굴지역의 복구는 생태계에 대한 다양한 피해를 줄일 수 있지만, 생태계서비스(Ecosystem Service, ES)에 대한 영향과 지역사회에 대한 기여는 불확실하다. 채굴작업에 의해 영향을 받는 ES 수혜자와 그 주변 환경에 어떻게 이익이 도출되는지를 식별하고, 나아가 수혜자들이 원하는 ES로 채굴지역을 복구·관리해야 한다. 본 연구는 국내 폐광산 지역의 산림복구지와 관련하여 TEEB(The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) 기준에 따라 18개의 ES(공급서비스 4개, 조절서비스 7개, 문화서비스 5개, 서식지서비스 2개)를 선정하였다. 그리고 11점 리커트 척도(0점 '모름', 1점~5점 '부정적 혜택', 6점~10점 '긍정적 혜택')의 반 구조화(semi-structure)된 설문지로 지역사회 87명(태백시 62명, 정선군 25명)의 사회 인식을 조사하고, 핵심 ES를 도출하였다. 두 지역사회는 폐광산의 산림복구지에 대해 문화서비스(심신건강, 심미적 가치 및 영감, 레크리에이션)와 조절서비스(국지기후 및 대기조절, 자연재해조절)를 중심으로 인식과 수요가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 해당 서비스들은 지역사회에서 실생활과 밀접하게 연관되면서, 지역주민에게 긍정적 혜택을 주었거나 향후 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 서비스였다. 하지만 평균 점수가 6~7점에 국한되어, 실제 지역사회에 미치는 혜택은 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 공급서비스는 식량, 원재료 등 이용가능성이 높은 재화를 창출하거나 수익기회를 제공하는데 기여하는 항목임에도 불구하고, 인식은 부정적이었다. 이는 광산활동 이전부터 전통적으로 특정 공급 ES에 의존했던 지역주민을 고려하지 않은 산림복구로 지역사회와 공급 ES의 흐름이 단절된 것을 보여준다. 향후 산림복구지의 지속가능한 이용 및 생태계 증진을 위해서 반드시 지역사회의 복지를 고려한 복구과정이 필요할 것이다. 본 연구결과는 국내 광산지역 개별 특성 및 상황에 맞는 산림복구를 위한 맞춤형 생태계서비스 증진 전략을 수립하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 단, 빈도분석에 따른 정성적 평가로 연구결과가 도출되었으므로, 추후 폐광산 지역 산림복구에 대한 핵심 ES에 대한 정량화와 가치평가가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • This Study involved the development of a survey form and the collection of data in an effort-to provide information which can be used in the improvement of nursing curricula. The data examined were the kinds courses currently being taught in the curricula of nursing education institutions throughout Korea, credits required for course completion, and year in-which courses are taken. For the purposes of this study, curricula were classified into college, nursing school and vocational school categories. Courses were directed into the 3 major categories of general education courses, supporting science courses and professional education course, and further subdirector as. follows: 1) General education (following the classification of Philip H. phoenix): a) Symbolics, b) Empirics, c) Aesthetics. 4) Synthetics, e) Ethics, f) Synoptic. 2) Supporting science: a) physical science, b) biological science, c) social science, d) behavioral science, e) Health science, f) Educations 3) Professional Education; a) basic courses, b) courses in each of the respective fields of nursing. Ⅰ. General Education aimed at developing the individual as a person and as a member of society is relatively strong in college curricula compared with the other two. a) Courses included in the category of symbolics included Korean language, English, German. Chines. Mathematics. Statics: Economics and Computer most college curricula included 20 credits. of courses in this sub-category, while nursing schools required 12 credits and vocational school 10 units. English ordinarily receives particularly heavy emphasis. b) Research methodology, Domestic affair and women & courtney was included under the category of empirics in the college curricula, nursing and vocational school do not offer this at all. c) Courses classified under aesthetics were physical education, drill, music, recreation and fine arts. Most college curricula had 4 credits in these areas, nursing school provided for 2 credits, and most vocational schools offered 10 units. d) Synoptic included leadership, interpersonal relationship, and communications, Most schools did not offer courses of this nature. e) The category of ethics included citizenship. 2 credits are provided in college curricula, while vocational schools require 4 units. Nursing schools do not offer these courses. f) Courses included under synoptic were Korean history, cultural history, philosophy, Logics, and religion. Most college curricular 5 credits in these areas, nursing schools 4 credits. and vocational schools 2 units. g) Only physical education was given every Year in college curricula and only English was given in nursing schools and vocational schools in every of the curriculum. Most of the other courses were given during the first year of the curriculum. Ⅱ. Supporting science courses are fundamental to the practice and application of nursing theory. a) Physical science course include physics, chemistry and natural science. most colleges and nursing schools provided for 2 credits of physical science courses in their curricula, while most vocational schools did not offer t me. b) Courses included under biological science were anatomy, physiologic, biology and biochemistry. Most college curricula provided for 15 credits of biological science, nursing schools for the most part provided for 11 credits, and most vocational schools provided for 8 units. c) Courses included under social science were sociology and anthropology. Most colleges provided for 1 credit in courses of this category, which most nursing schools provided for 2 creates Most vocational school did not provide courses of this type. d) Courses included under behavioral science were general and clinical psychology, developmental psychology. mental hygiene and guidance. Most schools did not provide for these courses. e) Courses included under health science included pharmacy and pharmacology, microbiology, pathology, nutrition and dietetics, parasitology, and Chinese medicine. Most college curricula provided for 11 credits, while most nursing schools provide for 12 credits, most part provided 20 units of medical courses. f) Courses included under education included educational psychology, principles of education, philosophy of education, history of education, social education, educational evaluation, educational curricula, class management, guidance techniques and school & community. Host college softer 3 credits in courses in this category, while nursing schools provide 8 credits and vocational schools provide for 6 units, 50% of the colleges prepare these students to qualify as regular teachers of the second level, while 91% of the nursing schools and 60% of the vocational schools prepare their of the vocational schools prepare their students to qualify as school nurse. g) The majority of colleges start supporting science courses in the first year and complete them by the second year. Nursing schools and vocational schools usually complete them in the first year. Ⅲ. Professional Education courses are designed to develop professional nursing knowledge, attitudes and skills in the students. a) Basic courses include social nursing, nursing ethics, history of nursing professional control, nursing administration, social medicine, social welfare, introductory nursing, advanced nursing, medical regulations, efficient nursing, nursing english and basic nursing, College curricula devoted 13 credits to these subjects, nursing schools 14 credits, and vocational schools 26 units indicating a severe difference in the scope of education provided. b) There was noticeable tendency for the colleges to take a unified approach to the branches of nursing. 60% of the schools had courses in public health nursing, 80% in pediatric nursing, 60% in obstetric nursing, 90% in psychiatric nursing and 80% in medical-surgical nursing. The greatest number of schools provided 48 crudites in all of these fields combined. in most of the nursing schools, 52 credits were provided for courses divided according to disease. in the vocational schools, unified courses are provided in public health nursing, child nursing, maternal nursing, psychiatric nursing and adult nursing. In addition, one unit is provided for one hour a week of practice. The total number of units provided in the greatest number of vocational schools is thus Ⅲ units double the number provided in nursing schools and colleges. c) In th leges, the second year is devoted mainly to basic nursing courses, while the third and fourth years are used for advanced nursing courses. In nursing schools and vocational schools, the first year deals primarily with basic nursing and the second and third years are used to cover advanced nursing courses. The study yielded the following conclusions. 1. Instructional goals should be established for each courses in line with the idea of nursing, and curriculum improvements should be made accordingly. 2. Course that fall under the synthetics category should be strengthened and ways should be sought to develop the ability to cooperate with those who work for human welfare and health. 3. The ability to solve problems on the basis of scientific principles and knowledge and understanding of man society should be fostered through a strengthening of courses dealing with physical sciences, social sciences and behavioral sciences and redistribution of courses emphasizing biological and health sciences. 4. There should be more balanced curricula with less emphasis on courses in the major There is a need to establish courses necessary for the individual nurse by doing away with courses centered around specific diseases and combining them in unified courses. In addition it is possible to develop skill in dealing with people by using the social setting in comprehensive training. The most efficient ratio of the study experience should be studied to provide more effective, interesting education Elective course should be initiated to insure a man flexible, responsive educational program. 5. The curriculum stipulated in the education law should be examined.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

  • This study attempts of analyze empirically the living status of the elderly in Korea by finding out the problems of it in the family and by clarifying the influences of the family environmental variables and the values on the adjustment of the aged. To carryout the aim of this study, the causes and the patterns of the problems for the aged had been found out through the review of literature. Based on them the questionnaire was prepared including the questions of the values, family environmental vriables as well as the degree of satisfaction of thier liver and the extent of life interchange. The former variables were taken as independent and the latter were taken as dependent variables, so that the relationship between the two variables could be exemplified. The 400 aged over 60 living in Seoul and the other cities were selected through the purposive sampling and interviewed. The answers of the 376 respondents, 94% of the sample, were analyzed for this study. The following results have been found out through the various statistical analysis such as frequency distribution, chi-square test, pearson's correlation, analysis of variance and cluster analysis. At first, the results from the examination of the frequency distribution regarding the living status of the aged are; I) sixteen percent of the respondents living with their married offspring were receiving economical support, though they pointed out the problems of the extended family are the inconveniences with their children (60%) and simpleness (20%) of their livers. It seems that the aged in Korea are poor and have negative opinion on the relationship with their offspring even if they live in the same house. Secondly, it has been found out that the family environmental variables, especially such as sex, occupation, residence, education, level, living ability and the family type, play and important role not only on the degree of satisfaction of their liver but also on the extent of interchange of their lives. However, the variables such as religion and whether the spouse is alive or not do not play and important role. Thirdly, the reported main reasons of their delightness were healthy life (1.87%), the well-being of their offspring (2.08%), the spouse's long life (3.38%), religious activity (5.05%), the hobby activity (4.31%) and the participation in the social activity (5.05%). While, they mainly concern about the illness (1.98%), offspring (2.00%), econmic difficulties (3.39%), inharmonious home (3.81%) and the despicable treatment (3.81%). The respondents wer classified into two groups, they are dependent and independent, using cluster analysis. Health, social activity, offspiring, religion, couple's long life among the factors which lead them to be delighted were turned out to be statistically signhificant at 0.01 significance level between the two groups. As far as their worrisome matters are concerned, health and economic difficulties were significantly different between the two groups. Fourthly, regarding the life interchange, it has been proved that there is a statistically significant differences betwwen the two groups in the economic and the emotional satisfaction, help for ordinary life, status in the family, subjective and objective relationship with offspring, but not in economic dependency and the activity status. Fifthly, it has been noted that there is a high correlation between the degree of life's satisfaction and the extent of life interchange. On the basis of the results mentioned above, it could be concluded taht; i) The majority of the aged in Korea are not economically active, and thus they live with their married offspring even of they have a negative opinion on the subjective relationship with them. This can be pointed out as the main problem of the aged and thus it needs to be studied further. ii) the environmental variables such as age, sex education level, family type and occuption (which can not be changed by their effrot) turned out to give an important effect on the extent of the life interchange among the aged. iii) The respondents who are identified as independent group have a higher degree of life satisfaction and family status than the group identified as defendent. Thus, it can be inferred that it is possible for them to adjust their life by making an effort to modify themselves. iv) The high correlation between the extent of life interchange and the degree of life satisfaction indicates that the elderly themselves can adjust in order to obtain the higher degree of life satisfaction. Therefore, the following suggestions are derived from this study. First of all, the aged should try to be psychologically independent. Second, they need to control themselves in order to achieve self-assurance. Third, the community have to prepare a program of self-development for the aged. Fourth, the social welfare policy that can solve the problem of illness and poverty of the elderly should be introduced, so that their minimum requirements can be satisfied.
