Information about the characteristics of street-living versus shelter-residing youth is vital for tailoring prevention and intervention efforts to the unique needs of runaway and homeless youth. The present study compared two samples of youth [street-living (n=73) versus shelter-residing (n=205)], between the ages of 14 to 17 years, on behavioral and emotional factors and service use. Based on the different characteristics of the two groups, the predictors explaining the living status of the runaways and homeless youth were explored. In general, street-living youth reported more severe substance use, depressive symptoms, and risky sexual behavior, but less lifetime service involvement compared to shelter-residing youth. The factors that predicted shelter-residing status were related to younger age, prior service care experience, more knowledge about HIV, and engaging in less delinquent and risky behavior. Given the little overlap among youth in service involvement and the greater severity faced by street-living youth, the conclusions highlight the need for increased funding and attention towards facilitating the ability of street-living youth to find and enter mental health and reintegration services.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine the level of anger, anger expression, depression, psychosomatic symptom and perceived health status, and to identify the influencing factors of anger expression in shelter residents. Methods: This study employed a descriptive correlational design. Data were collected from 407 homeless people residing at 27 shelters using structured instrument. Results: The level of anger expression was different by age, educational level, existence of children, and duration of shelter residency. Anger expression was significantly correlated with depression, psychosomatic symptoms and perceived health status. The predictors of high-level anger expression was younger age, low educational level, duration of shelter residency in Model 1 (F=6.884, p<.001, Adj. $R^2=.065$, and depression and psychosomatic symptoms in Model 2 (F=7.197, p<.001, Adj. $R^2=.113$. Conclusion: This study suggested that the homeless in the shelters had various psychological vulnerabilities, and therefore more individualized programs based on their needs and psychological health status should be provided for the homeless.

이 연구의 목적은 현상학적 연구를 통하여 출산 후 시설에 거주하는 양육미혼모 삶의 경험구조와 본질을 심층적으로 이해하기 위함이다. Methods: 2016년10월1일부터 2017년 2월까지 9명의 양육미혼모를 대상으로 심층면담을 통하여 자료를 수집하였으며, Colazzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 이용한 질적 연구이다. 연구결과: 출산 후 시설에 거주하는 양육미혼모 삶의 경험은 네 가지의 주제모음과 15개의 주제로 나타났다. 네 가지의 주제모음은 '출산과 양육과정', '모자보호시설의 생활', '당당한 엄마로 홀로서기', '풀리지 않은 실타래'으로 경험되었다. 결론 : 출산 후 양육미혼모들은 외롭고 고달픈 현실을 혼자 감당해야 한다는 심리적 압박감을 경험하지만 아이와 이 현실을 극복하기 위해 고군분투하였다. 양육미혼모들은 자신이 선택한 삶을 아이와 당당하고 행복하게 살기를 희망하고 있었다. 이에 미혼모가 안정적으로 살아 갈 수 있는 주거 환경적 지원과 미혼모를 바라보는 부정적인 사회적 시선과 차별을 버리고 서로의 다름을 인정하며 함께 더불어 살아가도록 사회 전반의 인식 전환이 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 한국판 세계보건기구 삶의 질 척도 단축형(WHOQOL-BREF)을 사용하여 우리 사회의 대표적 빈곤층인 노숙자들이 자신의 삶의 질을 어떻게 평가하며, 또 이들의 삶의 질에 어떤 요인들이 영향을 미치는가를 살펴보았다. 연구의 대상은 20세 이상 된 185명의 노숙자이며, 조사기간은 2003년 9월 18일부터 27일까지 10일간이었다. 연구결과, 노숙자의 삶의 질이 낮다는 것이 실증적으로 확인되었다. 또한 삶의 질 하위영역별로 예측요인이 다소 다르긴 하지만, 이들의 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 연령, 공공부조 수급, 인지된 건강상태, 음주, 알코올중독, 거주형태, 타인의 인정이 중요하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 노숙자의 삶의 질 향상을 위하여 주거최우선정책이 필요함을 강조하였고, 알코올중독 문제와 노숙자에 대한 사회적 편견 해소를 위한 대책방안에 대해서도 논의하였다.

연구목적 본 연구는 아동양육시설과 청소년쉼터에서 거주하는 청소년들의 정신건강을 비교하여 각 시설에 맞는 적절한 정신의학적 개입을 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 방법 본 연구의 대상자는 한국판 청소년 자기행동 평가척도(K-YSR)를 완료한 아동양육시설 청소년 157명과, 청소년 쉼터 대상자 31명이다. 우리는 두 집단의 K-YSR 점수를 비교하였고, 이들 중 자살경향성과 관련된 요인 들을 살펴보았다. 결과 청소년쉼터 대상자들은 아동양육시설에 비해 나이가 많고 음주(p<0.001), 흡연(p<0.001), '이상수면'(p=0.007)의 비율이 높았으며, 더 높은 자살경향성(p=0.004)과 K-YSR 점수를 보였다. 반면 아동양육시설 청소년들은 '이상수면'(OR 4.194; p=0.006)이나 '이상식이'(OR 2.503; p=0.010), '체중증가에 대한 걱정'(OR 3.897; p=0.002)을 호소할 때 자살경향성이 높았다. 또한 본 연구에 참여한 전체 청소년들의 17.6%에서 자살경향성을 보였고, 자살경향성을 보인 군은 아닌 군에 비해 전체적으로 높은 K-YSR 점수가 높았으며, '이상수면'(OR 3.766; p=0.014)이나 '체중증가에 대한 걱정'(OR 2.864; p=0.032)이 많았다. 결 론 청소년쉼터 대상자들이 아동양육시설 청소년들에 비해 임상적인 어려움이 더 크고 심각하여 정신의학적 개입이 신속하게 필요해 보인다. 또한 아동양육시설 청소년들이 수면이나 식이, 체중증가에 대한 불편감을 호소할 때, 자살경향성을 포함한 정신건강 평가를 고려하는 것이 필요하겠다.
