Suicide is a major problem in Korean health care and a serious social problem. In Korea, 12,463 people (24.3 per 100,000) lost their lives due to suicide in 2017. Although the government has established three National Comprehensive Plan of Suicide Prevention (2004, 2009, 2016), and National Action Plan of Suicide Prevention (2018), the suicide rate is still high. The suicide rate of the elderly is especially high. This is due to the economic vulnerability of the elderly in Korea. Therefore, in order to prevent suicide in Korea, mental health care approach and social welfare approach should be integrated. The intervention of preventing suicide of suicide attempters should include social welfare services as well as mental health program and should be based on community. There are many health problems, including prevention of suicide, which can not be solved only by the efforts of health care. Many health problems are social problems and the integrated approach is needed to solve them. In order to solve many health care problems and improve health, integrated approach of health, social science, and humanities is needed.

본 연구는 목민심서 애민육조와 진황육조의 분석으로 조선시대 사회복지정책의 구체적 내용을 살펴보고 이에 대한 오늘날 사회복지정책의 연계성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 애민육조에서는 양로(養老)에서 노인복지법과 노인 복지서비스의 기초내용을 담고 있었고, 자유(慈幼)에서는 유아 및 아동과 관련한 복지정책 서비스, 관질(寬疾)을 통해 장애인 복지의 가치계계과 정책 방향을 확인하였으며 구재(救災)에서는 사회적 위기와 재난대응에 대한 사회통합을 요구하고 있음을 알수 있었다. 이는 또한 이는 사회복지정책지표를 통해서도 가족안전, 소득보장, 건강정책, 사회통합 등의 사회복지정책의 주요영역이 강조되어왔음을 확인하였다. 또한 진황육조의 분석을 통하여 비자(備資), 규모(規模), 보력(補力) 등에서 사회보장제도와 사회보험제도의 기초 이념과 가치뿐만 아니라 구체적 정책 시행 내용까지 담고 있음을 살펴보았다. 사회복지 시설을 구비하여 각 대상별 체계적 사회복지서비스를 시행하고 있는 오늘날 사회복지정책 및 사회서비스 정책 등은 진황육조를 통하여 그 근간을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 현재 정책 시스템인 사회복지정책지표를 통해서도 사회통합과 소득보장 부분의 강조가 진황육조에서 두드러지게 나타남을 확인하였다.

The ratio of suicide among the elderly in Korea has nearly tripled within the last 20 years. With this in mind, this study examined the effects of social exclusion on depression and suicidal ideation among the elderly living in elderly-only households with a focus on gender differences. Social exclusion is composed of economic, health, housing, education, social participation, and relational aspects. For this study, data were gathered from 527 participants aged 65 years and over. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, and hierarchical regression analysis with the SPSS Win 20.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, more than 80% of the elderly experienced social exclusion. Women were shown to be more vulnerable than men in terms of housing exclusion, educational exclusion, health exclusion, and multiple exclusion, whereas men were more vulnerable than women in terms of social participation exclusion. Second, social exclusion had significant effects on suicidal ideation among the Korean elderly. We also observed gender differences in the results. Regression analysis of suicidal ideation showed that relational exclusion had a significant effect on suicidal ideation in men, whereas health exclusion had a significant effect on suicidal ideation in women. Results of the study show that stronger social support networks and policies focusing on the elderly are needed in order to reduce elderly suicide in Korea.

본 연구는 노인의 다양한 사회적 여가활동을 포괄적으로 접근하여 생활만족도에 미치는 직접, 간접적인 경로를 파악함을 목적으로 한다. 수도권 노인을 대상으로 조사한 결과, 사회적 여가활동인 여가프로그램, 자원봉사, 종교활동, 친목단체 참여 모두 여가만족과 고독감을 경로로 하여 생활만족도에 간접적인 영향을 미치고 있었다. 반면, 생활만족에 직접적인 영향력을 미치는 사회적 여가활동 영역은 자원봉사활동 뿐이었으며, 이 때 여가만족과 고독감은 자원봉사활동과 생활만족 사이에서 부분매개역할을 하고 있었다. 본 연구결과는 노인의 사회적 여가활동, 삶의 질 향상을 위한 정책수립과 여가복지시설 운영전략을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문의 목적은 제2차 세계대전 이후부터 신 노동당 정부까지 영국의 노인을 위한 개인적 사회 서비스 정책의 복지 다원주의의 역동성을 밝히고, 그것의 정책적 함의를 논하는 것이다. 이를 위해 1945년부터 2010년까지 보수당, 노동당, 신 노동당 정부 및 의회 보고서, 의회 회의록, 전당대회 원고, 법률, 국립기록보존관의 비밀 해제 문서, 각종 연구 기관의 보고서를 내용분석 한 결과, 노인을 위한 개인적 사회 서비스 정책의 복지 다원주의의 역동성에서 국가는 NHS에서와 달리, 해당 시기 내내 민간 영역의 보조 역할에만 머문 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 구조에서 민간 영역의 역할이 국가의 역할 보다 지나치게 강화되었을 때 영국 노인들이 겪었던 부작용은 문재인 정부의 노인을 위한 커뮤니티케어 복지 다원주의 구조 형성에 유의미한 정책적 함의를 제공해주고 있다.
