본 연구는 농촌사회의 사회적 지지에 영향을 미치는 사회경제적 요인을 밝히고, 이것이 개인의 건강증진행동과 어떠한 관련성을 갖는지를 분석하여 농촌사회 건강증진 정책에서의 사회적지지 향상 방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 2002년 7월 강원도 춘천시 2개리에 거주하는 주민 전수를 대상으로 하여 수행되었으며, 만성 중증질환이 없는 건강한 사람을 분석대상으로 선정하였다. 사회적 지지는 기능적 사회적지지 평가를 위한 변형한 한국어판 MOS-SSS(Medical Outcome Study-Social Support Survey)와 구조적 사회적지지 평가항목을 추가한 설문지를 이용하였고, 건강증진행동은 금연 금주 의도, 운동, 건강진단, 보건교육 참여, 폐경기 호르몬 치료 여부를 설문을 통해 측정하였다. 사회적 지지는 교육정도가 낮거나, 이혼이나 사별인 경우, 의료보호대상인 경우 낮았고, 사회계층이 높은 계층에서 높았으며 건강상태별로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 건강증진행동과의 관련성 분석에서, 사회적 지지가 높은 사랑들이 건강검진율, 보건교육 참석률, 폐경기 호르몬치료율이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 음주량 흡연량을 보정한 금연 금주 의도는 사회적 지지가 높은 군에서 오히려 낮았다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해, 사회적 지지가 약한 의료보호대상, 이혼 사별가정, 저교육층에 대해 지역사회가 제공할 수 있는 기능적, 구조적 사회적 지지를 우선적으로 시행해야 하며, 농촌지역의 건강증진 보건프로그램에 사회적 지지서비스를 적극 반영해야 함을 제안하고자한다.

이 글은 NGO와 정부가 가질 수 있는 다양한 관계의 유형, 그리고 그 속에 내재되는 중요 요소들에 대하여 분석해보고, 이러한 민간-정부의 관계성 모색의 이론적 작업을 탈북자 정착지원사업이라는 현실영역에 적용하고 있다. 정부와 NGO사이의 상호작용의 빈도와 방향성, 정부의 제도적 다원주의의 수용, 공식성(formality)과 파워관계의 대칭성등을 위주로 현재 탈북자를 지원하는 민간단체와 정부와의 관계가 분석이 되었고 coston(1998)이 제시한 다양한 NGO-정부의 관계유형으로 분석된 결과, 소극적이고 최소한의 협조적 관계(cooperation)를 이루고 있었다. 탈북자 지원 사업에서의 이러한 소극적 협조관계 속에서 정부와 민간단체들은 낮은 연결성(low linkage)를 보이며 상호작용의 방향에서 정부 일방적인 경향이 있고, 정부는 형식적으로는 제도적 다원주의를 추구하고 있으나 실질적 적극적으로 수용하고 있지는 않다. 그 결과 양자의 관계는 매우 비공식적이고 파워관계가 외부적으로 표출되지는 않지만 정부쪽으로 기우는 비대칭의 모습을 내재하고 있다고 보여진다. 결론적으로, 이 글은 앞으로 추구될 바람직한 정부와 민간단체의 관계적 유형은 협력적 연결관계(collaboration) 혹은 양자간의 파트너쉽이라고 규정하고 이른 실현하기 위한 현실적 과제들을 토의한 후 단기적이고 현실적인 전제조건하에서 하나의 연결모형을 제시하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of emotional connection with parents, social support, and isolation on unmarried mothers' child-rearing efficacy. The subjects of this study were 194 unmarried mothers. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, and Pearson's correlation using the SPSS 12.0 program. The test of the theoretical model was performed with an analysis of the correlational matrix in the AMOS 7.0 package for path analysis. The results of this study were as follows: First, the number of adult unmarried mothers was higher than that of teen mothers. Most unmarried mothers had a in low monthly income-, were unemployed, and received economic assistance from the government or social welfare institutions as a major source of their income. Their decision to have a child were for the following reason: the desire to have a child, fear of having an abortion, belief that abortion is a crime, and uncertainty about which decision to make, etc. Second, the women's emotional connection with their parents had a direct effect on social support. Social support had a direct effect on isolation:,- however, it did not have a direct effect on parenting efficacy. Third, the women's emotional connection with their parents had a direct effect on isolation. Isolation had a direct effect on parenting efficacy. Fourth, social support mediated by the women's emotional connection with their parents had an indirect effect on isolation and child-rearing efficacy. Isolation mediated the women's emotional connection with their parents and had an indirect effect on child-rearing efficacy.

본 논문은 국가간 사회복지수준을 비교하는 기준으로서 경제수준과 사회수준 중 후자가 보다 적절한 기준임을 밝혀냈다. 또한 사회복지지출이 많은 나라들일수록 사회수준이 경제수준보다 높은 경향을 보였는데 이는 경제성장 위주의 정책보다는 사회 각 부문의 균형적 발전을 통한 보편적 삶의 질, 즉 사회수준 향상이 사회복지수준 향상에 중요한 요인임을 제시하는 결과였다. 한국의 사회복지수준은 우리의 경제, 사회수준을 고려한 기대수준보다 현저히 낮다는 기존의 사실을 다시 한번 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 보편적 삶의 질과 빈곤층의 삶의 질 수준과의 격차를 해소하여 권리로서의 사회복지를 실현하는 것이 시급한 과제라는 것과 사회수준 자체의 향상을 통해 사회복지에 대한 국민적 관심을 증가시키고, 사회복지부문간 격차, 즉 사회보험과 공공부조와의 현격한 차이를 줄이는 정책이 필요하다는 점을 제시하였다.

This study investigated residents' preferences for spatial features of sitting areas in assisted living facilities, and provides recommendations for planning sitting areas to support residents' spatial preferences and social interaction. The study participants were 69 residents of eight assisted living facilities (30+ resident capacity), located in south central Texas. A photographic comparison method was used, in which residents were shown 20 matched pairs of photos, with a single feature digitally modified in each pair, and asked to select which environmental representation they preferred. The hypothesized spatial characteristics were identified in practice based literature as those that may encourage usage of sitting areas: viewability, variety, homelikeness, and privacy. Most of the hypothesized features were preferred by participants, with the highest preference found for non-institutional furniture arrangements and naturalness, followed by increasing enclosure and variety of seating. Preference was less significant for domestic cues such as carpeted floors, divided light windows, and boundaries defined by different colored material or columns, possibly due to their physical impairments or preference for visual openness. Participants' level of mobility assistance was significantly related to their preference for some features, such as seating with people-watching capability, and carpeted floors. The findings have implications for facility architects and administrators engaged in resident-oriented spatial planning.

Purpose: As a result of dramatic advances in the medical and surgical management of congenital heart disease (CHD), many babies born with cardiac anomalies today can expect to reach adulthood. The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parenting stress and personal resources of mothers of children with CHD. Method: Fifty-one mothers of children with CHD were recruited at the pediatric cardiac outpatient clinic from July 14th to September 25th 2006. Abidin's parenting stress index/short form (PSI/SF) and Brandt and Weinert's personal resource questionnaire (PRQ) were used. PSI has 3 sub-concepts; parental role distress, dysfunctional parent-child interaction, and difficult child. PRQ has 4 sub-concepts; intimacy, social integration, worth, and assistance. Data were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 version. Results: Correlation analysis showed that parenting stress was significantly related to 'intimacy', 'social integration', and 'worth' of mothers. Multiple regression analysis showed that parenting stress was significantly related to personal resource of mother and information by internet. Conclusion: Mothers who felt they had supportive friends and family, high self esteem, and social integration reported lower parenting stress. Also, internet may be an effective method to provide information and share experience for mothers of children with CHD.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors determining the participation of the poor elderly in economic activity. This study analyzed secondary data of the second wave of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the factors that are associated with the economic activity of the poor elderly. The results of the analyses showed that age, gender, region, public assistance, education, health status, chronic illness, contacts with acquaintances, and support from children were associated with participation in economic activity. The study's findings have several implications for policies and services. The study identified the need for an age- and gender-specific approach to promoting participation in economic activity among the poor elderly. Regional differences should also be considered in the creation of work opportunities for older adults. In terms of human capital, the positive effect of good health indicates that strategies are needed to address the needs of older adults with health issues. In addition, there is a need for more jobs for elderly job seekers with high levels of education. Finally, policy makers and practitioners should explore interventions for enhancing the social network involvement and community support for the elderly living in poverty.

This study investigates the causes of poverty in Korea since the 1997 Economic Crisis by analyzing the composition and characteristics of the poor by the types of families. While the poor largely consisted of disadvantaged groups, such as the aged, the disabled, or the female-headed families before the Crisis, families headed by working-aged and non-disabled adults have represented a larger portion of the entire poor since the Crisis. The higher overall poverty rate in 1998 mainly resulted from the rapid increase in the number of the unemployed and the high poverty rate of their families. In 1999, the larger number of the unemployed poor exited from poverty by getting a job in the labor market, contributing to the reduction in the overall poverty rate. The significant number of families headed by working adults were poor in 1998, and the size of these working poor was not reduced in 1999. The poverty among this group has been caused by lowered wage rates and deteriorating job security. The findings from this study suggest that anti-poverty policies in Korea be improved to provide better income and employment assistance to the non-working poor and, more importantly, be extended to effectively reduce poverty among the working low-income families.

Using the 1999 National Survey of America's Families(NSAF), this study investigated the factors that affect child care expenses and examined financial and social support of single mother families in the U. S. In this study, 4,676 single mother families with children aged twelve and under are included for the analytical sample. About half of all single mother families with children under age 12 had some amount of child care expenses in 1999. Monthly child care expenses for those who had child care expenses was an average of $255 and it accounted for about 15 percent of their family earnings. The profile of financial and social support showed that about one-quarter of single mothers received financial support for child care, one-fifth received free child care by relatives and about 40 percent received child support payments from nonresident fathers. Tobit analysis results showed that the significant factors that affected child care expenses were mother's age, marital status, educational level, employment status, the numbers of children aged 0-5, family income, the receipt of public assistance and financial support for child care.
