본 연구의 목적은 손자녀의 양육을 지원하는 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스와 그의 예언변수들을 탐색하고 이를 양육모집단과 비교 분석하는 것이다. 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 할머니 152명(지원 양육조모)과 그 아동의 어머니 152명(부분 양육모), 낮시간 동안 아동을 돌보는 어머니 157명(주 양육모)의 양육스트레스, 우울, 양육행동, 스트레스 대처, 사회적 지지를 비교 분석하였다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모와 부분 양육모에 비해 유의하게 우울하였으나 양육 스트레스에서는 집단 간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 지원 양육조모는 주 양육모보다 사회적 지지와 문제 중심 대처 능력이 뚜렷이 낮아 스트레스에 가용한 자원이 취약함을 시사하였다. 양육스트레스를 설명하는 예언변수로 양육행동(과잉반응성, 방임성), 스트레스 대처(문제 중심 대처 및 정서 중심 대처), 사회적 지지, 우울의 설명량을 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 탐색하였다. 지원 양육조모의 양육 스트레스를 설명하는 변수는 과잉 반응성, 우울이었다. 주 양육모도 과잉반응성과 우울이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수였고, 정서 중심 대처도 예언 변수로 나타났다. 한편, 부분 양육모는 사회적 지지, 우울, 과잉 반응성이 양육 스트레스의 유의한 예언 변수로 나타나 낮시간 양육 집단과는 차이를 보였다. 우울이나 자원의 측면에서 조모 집단과 모집단의 차이를 논의하고, 예언 변수를 중심으로 양육 집단과 비양육 집단의 차이, 조모 집단과 모집단 간의 차이에 대해 논의하였다.

Although the relation of caregiving burden to well-being has been frequently examined, the effect of caregiving on marital quality has been virtually ignored. The current study explores the impact of parent care on the marriages of adult children by using a nationally representative longitudinal sample. It was hypothesized that parent care would negatively influence the marital quality of adult child caregivers, the effect of parent care would differ between women and men caregivers, and the nature of marital relationship variables would moderate or mediate the impact of care on marital quality. Overall, marital quality does not appear to suffer if caregiving load is light. However, the impact of parental caregiving on some dimensions of marital quality was conditioned by gender, gender role attitudes, and congruence between attitudes and behavior.

Caregiving for the children seems to be one of the most challenging tasks for the parents who should devote themselves totally despite endangering them. From the evolutionary perspective, this human behavior must have been the advantage in the survival of the species and rooted in ethological origin. John Bowlby, a child psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and great developmental researcher, had formulated the attachment theory linking psychoanalysis and ethology through evolutionary biology. His and later following researchers' outcomes have provided enormous influence on viewing parental caregiving and the insight of human relationships and interventions. This article overviews the attachment theory in terms of the goal oriented cybernetic system to gain the survival advantage of the offspring and investigates the evolutionary origin of the caregiving and attachment from the retiles of the Mesozoic era to the mammalian revolution and finally to the human being. Deeper understanding of the nurturance and adult relationships from the standpoint of evolution can provide clinical utility of awareness of clients' lives.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between a flexible parental visiting environment and parental stress in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods: The study participants included 60 parents of premature infants in NICUs. Structured questionnaires and interviews, as well as observations by researchers using a caregiving behavior checklist, were used to measure the flexibility of the parental visiting environment and parents' stress levels. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently and were initially analyzed as separate data sets. Data collection extended from March 11, 2018 to June 30. 2018 and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: There was a negative correlation (r=-.30, p=.021) between parental stress and the total number of visits in 7 days. We also found that the average duration of each visit and the number of caregiving behaviors performed by parents were positively correlated (r=.73, p<.001). Conclusion: When designing a flexible visiting environment for parents, parents should be encouraged to visit their babies. By doing so, stress can be reduced both for babies and for parents. Therefore, it is suggested that the related polices and regulations in South Korea should be changed to provide more a flexible visiting environment to promote better parent-child attachment and family adjustment.

This paper examines the intergenerational time transfers between married women and their co-residing elderly parents, and how they affect married women's labor force participation and work hour. The sample was drawn from the "2004 Time Use Survey" conducted by Korea National Statistical Office and the Heckman's 2-step model was estimated to examine these relationships. We find that women's caregiving time for their elderly parents reduces their likelihood of participating in the labor force. On the contrary, parental time transfers for married women increases the probability of their labor force participation. We find no evidence that the actual hours of paid work is related to the time transfers between married women and their elderly parents. In other words, after married women decide to participate in the labor force, their work hours are not affected by the time spent for parents and time gained from parents to them. Parental income is positively associated with the married women's labor force participation whereas husband's income is negatively related. The married women working in service occupation and earn salaries work longer hours than those employed as laborer and wage workers. Having older parents and owning the second home reduce working hours of married women.

본 연구는 노인부양에 관한 부부간 의사결정 과정에서 부양의 주체인 여성 배우자의 의사결정 파워가 실제 노인부양참여를 위한 결정에 어떤 역할을 하고 있는지 알아보기 위하여 미국내 중고령층을 대상으로 한 2002년 HRS(Health and Retirement Study) 자료를 사용하여 실증분석하였다. 또한 이 연구에서는 배우자 양쪽의 부모로부터 동시에 부양의 역할이 요구되었을 때 부부간 교섭력(Bargaining Power)을 대표할 수 있는 여성의 경제력과 교육수준이 부양결정에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 다항 로짓 분석 (Multinomial Logit) 분석을 사용하여 검증하였다. 분석결과는 부부의 노부모 부양결정은 부부간 교섭력 보다는 양쪽 부모의 상대적 건강상태, 재정상태, 그리고 간호를 위한 대체 인적자원의 여부등에 의존하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 남성과는 다르게, 여성의 연령과 노동참여는 여성 자신의 노부모 부양결정에 결코 부적 영향을 주지 않았으며, 또한 양쪽 부모로 부터 동시에 부양참여가 요구되었을때 성인자녀가족의 부양결정은 같은 조건이라면 여성배우자쪽 부모의 부양에 보다 더 적극적으로 반응하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the generative fathering scale to measure fathers' active involvement of parenting. Subjects were 188 fathers of early childhood from Jeonju. To begin with, the concept of generative fathering was discussed in the theoretical review, and then the measurement was comprised of two dimensions(the parental involvement of fathers and paternal responsibility) The parental involvement of fathers : thirty of 37 items were selected through the item analysis, and that 30 items were analyzed by factor analysis. The result of factor analysis indicated that the parental involvement of fathers comprised of three factors(developmental support, caregiving and monitoring, shared activities). paternal responsibility : this was analyzed through the same process above, two factors(responsibility as a resource provider and responsibility as a child-rearing)were extracted by factor analysis. The construct validity was supported and the internal consistency of this two sub-scale appeared to be at an acceptable level, and were considered to be useful way to measure generative fathering.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with instrumental support (i.e., economic and practical support) from parents to their adult children. We examined both parents' attitudes toward instrumental support for adult children and parents' actual provision of instrumental support. From the data of the 2010 second National Survey of Korean Families, we selected 532 mothers and 524 fathers who were married and had at least one adult child aged over 25. Multiple regression analyses by the parents' gender showed that fathers were more likely to agree with instrumental support for adult children in general when they had unmarried children, had a lower household income level, had a lower evaluation of their socio-economic class, were satisfied with their own household economic situation, had positive attitudes toward caregiving for elderly parents, and were satisfied with their couple relationships. For mothers, they were more likely to agree with instrumental support for adult children in general when they had positive attitudes toward caregiving for elderly parents, were satisfied with their couple relationships, and perceived their child as someone to rely on in times of difficulties. Our analyses of the actual provision of support indicated that fathers tended to provide more support when they perceived that they were healthy, had unmarried children, were less satisfied with their household economic situation, had negative attitudes toward child-rearing, and reported a higher quality of parent-child relationship. For mothers, they were more likely to provide actual support when they were healthy, had unmarried children, had a higher level of household income, were financially preparing for later life, and less satisfied with their couple relationships. The findings of this study imply that it is imperative to distinguish the attitudes toward support from the actual provision of support and to also consider parents' gender in the literature on instrumental support for adult children.
