The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of parent-to-child financial transfers, providing household chores, and inheritance on financial transfers and time transfers from adult children to their elderly parents with dementia. Analyzing data from the sample of 343 adult children of parents with dementia, this study finds a strong positive effect of prior parent-to-child financial transfers on child-to-parent financial transfers under controlling parent characteristics, respondent characteristics and sibling's transfers to their parents. The effects of providing household chores and inheritance on time transfers are also positively significant. The results of this study point out the importance of reciprocity in resource transfers between adult children and their parents with dementia.

Concerns about paid-facilities for the elderly with dementia from middle and upper class families have been discussed lately in Korea. Small-scale, home-like group homes for the elderly with dementia were developed in Sweden in the 1980, but they have not been effectively introduced in Korea where they remain a comparatively new concept. The group home, however, would provide a good alternative to Koreans who feel guilty when they have to leave their frail parents in large-scale facilities or hospitals instead of caring for them at home. The aim of this paper is, first, to define the care of the demented elderly who come from upper and middle class families in Korea and, secondly, to discuss the need for group homes to help care for them. A survey was done by questionnaire and was answered by 577 respondents who belonged to middle and upper class families living in Korea in December 2000. Methods of analysis were frequency, mean, and Chi-square. The results of this study were as follows: 1) the traditional notion that the eldest son should be burdened with the primary responsibility for a demented parent has weakened remarkably; 2) a small-scale long-term care facility was considered the most desirable living environment for the demented elderly; 3) the facilities families needed for professional hospitals for victims of dementia, senior citizen centers, large and small-scale long-term care facilities, day-care centers, and short-stay and service housing. The study also revealed that there was low awareness of the group home. The most preferred type of structure for group homes was a single-family detached house, and the most preferred management system was small-scale that could create home-like atmosphere. Additionally the respondents wanted group homes to consist of 6-8 residents with 2-4 persons per room. The results of this study strongly suggest that policy makers should encourage the development of smallscale group homes as an alternative form of housing for the elderly with dementia.

본 연구는 개인주의화, 만혼현상, 이혼율 증대 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 가족구조와 기능이 빠른 속도로 변화되는 추세에 고령화가 심화되고 있는 현실 속에서 우리나라 청소년들의 가족친밀감이 노인부양의식의 영향관계에서 노인인식과 치매에 대한 태도의 매개효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이러한 연구목적을 수행하기 위하여 광주광역시 소재 초·중·고등학교 학생을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문지를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 통계분석을 위해서는 SPSS 20.0과 AMOS 18.0프로그램을 이용하였고, 빈도, 백분율, 기술통계, 상관관계, 요인분석, 구조모형검증, Sobel-Test를 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 나타난 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가족친밀감, 노인인식, 노인부양의식은 초등학생이 가장 높고, 중학생, 고등학생 순으로 '연령'에서 유의미하게 나타났다(P<.001). 또 종교에서는 종교가 있는 청소년의 가족친밀감이 종교가 없는 청소년 보다 더 높았다(p<.001). 둘째, 가족친밀감은 노인인식과 치매에 대한 태도, 노인부양의식에 직접적으로 영향을 미쳤으며, 노인인식은 치매에 대한 태도에, 치매에 대한 태도는 노인부양의식에 직접적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 가족친밀감(부모-자녀)은 노인인식에 7.8%, 가족친밀감과 노인인식이 치매에 대한 태도에 20.2%, 치매에 대한 태도와 가족친밀감이 노인부양의식에 34.1%의 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001). 넷째, 가족친밀감과 노인부양 의식 간의 노인인식, 치매에 대한 태도의 절대 값이 1.96보다 높게 나와 매개역할을 하는 것으로 검증되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 청소년 초기에 가족친밀감과 노인인식, 치매에 대한 태도의 향상을 위한 교육프로그램의 개발과 청소년들의 치매에 대한 지식이나 태도가 올바른 지식을 전달과 긍정적인 부양의식 해결과 함께 세대 간의 갈등 해소를 통해, 노인의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 노인교육복지에 기여하고자 한다.
