본 연구의 목적은 정확한 시간량에 기초하여 가족돌봄의 실태를 파악하고, 그것의 영향요인 및 결과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2019년도 생활시간조사를 활용하여 장기돌봄을 필요로 하는 성인돌봄을 중심으로 가족돌봄을 검토하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 성인가족 돌봄에 투입하는 평균시간은 하루에 115분으로 나타났고, 가족돌봄자는 여성의 비중이 높고 평균연령이 상대적으로 높으면서 비취업자가 많고, 가구소득은 상대적으로 낮았다. 둘째, 영향요인 분석결과, 여성이면서 고연령인 경우, 기혼상태이면서 가구소득이 낮을수록 가족돌봄자가 될 가능성뿐만 아니라 돌봄시간도 증가하였다. 셋째, 가족돌봄과 다른활동시간간 관계를 분석한 결과, 가족돌봄 시간은 유급노동이나 여가시간과 대체관계에 있는 반면, 가사노동시간과는 보완관계에 있었는데 이것은 고강도 가족돌봄일 때 더욱 명확하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 정기적인 가족돌봄실태조사의 실시, 가족돌봄지원정책의 확대, 그리고 돌봄대상과 속성뿐만 아니라 돌봄자의 속성에 따른 돌봄시간의 차등적 지원을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in the association between caregiver's activities and caregiving burden according to gender and family relationship of caregivers of older people with dementia. This study used data from the Caregivers of Alzheimer's Disease Research survey (n=476). The association between caregiving activities and care burden was analyzed by multiple regression. In this study, the caregivers were predominantly spouses, followed by daughters. The care burden, especially personal burden, and depression were significantly higher in women than men. The spouses (either male or female), compared with the sons and daughters, spent significantly more time providing care. Care time and depression of caregivers and physical disability of the patient were significantly correlated with care burden. Among the caregiving activities, using transportation, dressing, eating, looking after appearance, and supervising were significantly associated with care burden. The daughters and daughters-in-law presented more care burden with higher number of care days, and the female spouse who were younger tended to experience higher care burden. Daughters who provided longer time looking after appearance exhibited higher care burden. For female spouse, eating time was significantly associated with care burden. The association between caregiving activities and care burden of caregivers of people with dementia differed by gender and family relationship with the patient. This study was characterized by analyzing the effect of caregiving activities on caregiving burden by gender and family relationship of caregivers.

본 연구는 2019년 개정 및 신설된 가족돌봄휴직·휴가제도가 여성관리자의 일·가정 양립에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 제도의 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 2020년 여성관리자패널 자료 중 제도 사용경험이 있는 유배우 여성관리자 1,040명을 분석대상으로 삼아 성향점수매칭과 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 성향점수매칭 결과, 가족돌봄휴직 사용자 집단의 가족돌봄시간은 미사용자 집단보다 유의하게 적었고, 사용자 집단의 일·가정 갈등 수준과 가정·일 갈등 수준도 미사용자 집단보다 유의하게 높았다. 가족돌봄휴가의 경우 사용자 집단의 조직형태가 국가/지방자치단체인 경우가 미사용자 집단보다 유의하게 높았다. 다중회귀분석 결과, 가족돌봄휴직 사용 경험이 가정·일 갈등에 미치는 정적 영향이 유의미하였다. 본 연구결과는 현행 가족돌봄휴직·휴가제도가 일·가정 관계에 긍정적인 영향을 미치기에는 부족하다는 것을 시사하며, 지속적인 정책효과 검증을 통해 정책을 수정·보완해 나가야 함을 뜻한다.

The subjects of this study are 162 mothers of children with developmental disabilities residing in Seoul. The findings are as follows: First, mothers with preschool children with developmental disabilities spent 6 hours and 50 minutes per day caring for their children during weekdays and 6 hours and 10 minutes on weekend days. This is double the amount of time spent by the average mother with preschool children. Second, mothers spent much more time caring for their disabled children than they do for their children without disabilities. Third, determinants of a mother's time for caring their disabled child during weekdays were mother's employment, the number of children, and gender of the disabled child. On weekend days, determinants of mother's care time were the number of children and husband's help for childrearing.

As the fertility rate of Korea has recently decreased to the lowest level in the world, the recognition of the needs for social support for the child-care has been increased. This resulted in the announcement of National Policy of Child-Rearing Support in 2004. This study attempted to propose the activation of the family child-care for the preparation of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. Using literature review and interview, the following research questions were addressed. Firstly, the actual situation of the family child-care was compared with that of the other types of child-care. Secondly, the policies of child-rearing support and the family child-care systems in other countries such as United Kingdom, Sweden and Japan were introduced. Finally, activations of the family child-care were discussed in terms of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. The results of this study implies that the family child-care in Korea is different from that of other countries as well as other types of child-care in Korea. Also, it suggests that key factors of the activation of the family child-care in Korea are to identify as the small, informal and family-like child-care, to differentiate as the infant-care and non-standard time child-care from other types of child-care, and to increase the level of professionalization. In conclusion, family child-care should become an alternative for the low fertility problem.

This study explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed family life and relationships as well as how these changes affect perceived stress among married men and women. This study investigated changes in family time use, household work, child care, leisure activities, income and expenditures along with relationships between spouses and children using a sample of 627 married persons surveyed online from May 19 to 25, 2020. The results showed that the amount of time spent on household work, child care, and family leisure have increased and that the perceived burden of household work and child care has also increased. Gender differences were found in time use, household work, and child care. Leisure activities have changed toward more time watching TV or online media and playing online games and less time on outdoor activities, shopping, and meeting friends. About 38% of respondents reported a reduction in household income and 22% reported an increase in household debt. The majority experienced no change in the quality of relationships with spouses and children, approximately 20% of the sample reported a positive change in relationships with spouses and children. The findings of multivariate regression indicated that change in work time, negative change in household economy, negative change in household work and negative change in relationships with spouses were associated with marital stress. However, this study found that negative changes in child care and in relationships with children did not affect stress among married parents with children in elementary or secondary school.

The increase of health care expenditures is an important problem in the almost countries. Also, suppression of the health care expenditures is an important problem in the health field of Korea since the national health insurance for total people in 1989. Thus, it is very important to grasp the change of the health care expenditures of family and proportions of the health care expenditures to total expenditures of family, because they are the basis of national health care expenditures in Korea. While the health care expenditures of urban family were increased during 1980-1993 by 12.8% annually, the total expenditures of urban family were increased by 14.8% annually. Consequently, the proportions of health care expenditures to total expenditures were decreased from 5.98% to 4.76%. The proportions of health care expenditure for 3 years to come were predicted to 4.75% in 1994, 4.67% in 1995, and 4.63% in 1996 by the time-series analysis. That is, it was predicted that they would be decreasing slowly. The product elasticity of health care expenditure was less than 1 in the multiple regression analysis. so the health care is normal good rather than superior good. Therefore, it seems that the household economy is able to bear the expense pursuing the improvement of quality of health care by actualizing the medical insurance fee.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine pediatric hospital nurses' perceptions and performance of family-centered care. Methods: A descriptive study design was used. This study surveyed 162 nurses who worked at a single tertiary children's hospital in South Korea. The modified Family-Centered Care Scale was used to assess nurses' perceptions and performance of family-centered care. Barriers to the implementation of family-centered care were described in an open-ended format. Results: Pediatric hospital nurses had a higher score for perceptions (mean score=4.07) than for performance (mean score=3.77). The collaboration subscale had the lowest scores for both perceptions and performance. The perceptions of family-centered care differed significantly according to the nurses' clinical career in the pediatric unit and familiarity with family-centered care, while performance differed according to clinical career only. Perceptions and performance were positively correlated (r=.594, p<.001). Barriers to implementation included a shortage of nursing personnel, a lack of time, and the absence of a family-centered care system. Conclusion: To improve the performance of family-centered care, nurses' perceptions of family-centered care should be improved by offering education programs and active support, including sufficient staffing, and establishing systems within hospitals.
