This study examined attitudes of grandmothers who had experience in grandchild care in order to explore their subjectivity. Research questions were 1) to categorize the attitudes toward grandchild care, and 2) to analyze each type's characteristics and elucidate the analyses. The results are as follows. Grandmothers' attitudes toward grandchild care were categorized into three types: (1) adjusting-to-role-change type, (2) recognizing-the-role-burdens type, (3) enjoying-the-traditional-role type. Type 1, the adjusting-to-role-change type was aware of positive facets of grandchild care, and actively accepted the caring responsibility, but did not think it was a grandmother's duty to care for the grandchildren or that it was the sole pleasure in a grandmother's life. Type 2, the recognizing-the-role-burdens type, had a negative view regarding grandchild care, perceiving the cost too high relative to the reward. On the other hand, Type 3, the enjoying-the-traditional-role type considered grandchild care as a pleasure and a duty, and downplayed negative aspects such as having no time to herself, assuming the traditional grandmother role and enjoying it. These results imply that the attitudes of grandmothers nowadays are undergoing a change from the traditional grandmother role attitude.

The objective of this study was to identify role types as they pertain to paternal and maternal grandmothers based on four role dimensions. To this end, a sample of 416 mothers of preschoolers was used. This study also examined correlates of and differences in the type of grandparents in terms of paternal and maternal types of grandmothers. Data were analyzed by K-means clustering, Chi-square, and multi-nominal logistic regression analysis. Grandmothers were classified into five distinct groups : influential, supportive, authority-oriented, passive, and detached types. Maternal grandmothers seemed to be relatively more involved with their grandchildren than paternal ones. The type of grandmothers varied as a function of socioeconomic status, the number of grandchildren, and geographical proximity for paternal grandmothers, and mothers' employment status and the closeness between grandmothers and mothers for maternal grandmothers. The results imply that grandmothers are currently becoming more active in their grandchildren's lives and that kinship in Korean society tends to lean to the maternal side.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia) is a disorder characterized by multiform hormonal resistance including parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). It is caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations within the Gs alpha-encoding GNAS exons. A 9-year-old boy presented with clinical and laboratory abnormalities including hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, PTH resistance, multihormone resistance and AHO (round face, short stature, obesity, brachydactyly and osteoma cutis) which were typical of PHP Ia. He had a history of repeated convulsive episodes that started from the age of 2 months. A cranial computed tomography scan showed bilateral calcifications in the basal ganglia and his intelligence quotient testing indicated mild mental retardation. Family history revealed that the patient's maternal relatives, including his grandmother and 2 of his mother's siblings, had features suggestive of AHO. Sequencing of the GNAS gene of the patient identified a heterozygous nonsense mutation within exon 11 (c.637 C>T). The C>T transversion results in an amino acid substitution from Gln to stop codon at codon 213 ($p.Gln213^*$). To our knowledge, this is a novel mutation in GNAS.

The Purposes of this study were to understand the types of appellations used by nurses and doctors for patients in a hospital and to analyze satisfaction and reason about appellation for patient. This would enable us to provide basic data on culturally suitable appellations for admitted patients. 454 patients at K University hospital in Seoul were subjects for this study. Subjects were interviewed individually using a questionnair and frequency $X^2-test$. Results are as follows. 1. The most frequently used type of appellations in hospitals was '-ssi ; -sir' used by 88.1% of the nurses and 83.9% of the doctors. About 3 quaters of the medical staff used '-ssi' while none used job position. 2. 93.2% of the patients were satisfied with the appellations used by nurses and 93.0% of the patients were satisfied with the appellations used by the doctors 43.7% didn't think appellations were important and 44.3% thought it natural to use the appellation. The most satisfactory form of appellation used by nurses was '-ssi' to 93.3% of patients. All were satisfied with '-nim ; -sir', '-teacher' and there was no statistically significance. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction and the appellation used by doctors showed a relationship($X^2=19.72$, p=.000). Every patient was satisfied with '-nim' and '-teacher' but 19.9% were dissatisfied with the others of appellations. 3. Most patients preferred to be called '-ssi' by nurses(77.3%) and doctors(78.7%) respectively. The dominant reason being accuracy(45.8%), naturalness(33.9%) for nurses and 43.8% and 45.4% respectively for doctors. 4. The relationship between the type of appellations requested of nurses and general characteristics showed that age($X^2=83.91%$ p=.000), level of education($X^2=33.35$ p=.000), and occupation($X^2=38.22$ p=.033) were related to the type of appellation. The type of appellation requested of doctors was related to the age($X^2=72.56$ p=.000), level of education($X^2=30.01$ p=.000), and occupation($X^2$=42.90 p=.010). Generally, '-ssi' was requested of doctors and nurses, but lower age group or higher age group(over 61), those in elementary schools or elementary school graduates snd students preferred being called by their first names or grandfather, grandmother. From the results above, we can see that the most general type of appellation used for patients by the medical staff is '-ssi' and most patients were satisfied with the appellation but, the reason being that such appellations were accepted without concern. This shows that most are not adequately satisfied with the appellation. Only a small number of people use '-nim' and '-teacher' but is the preferred and frequently used types of appellation. Therfore, a continuous research of appellations used for patients with patients using '-nim' and an investigation with nurses' opinions of appellations for patients as the subject are required.

본 연구는 현재 한국사회에서 급증하고 있는 조손가족의 성격과 경험의 다양성을 탐색해보는 연구의 일환으로 조손가족 조모들이 손자녀를 양육하면서 겪는 어려움(비용)과 더불어 긍정적 측면(보상)을 함께 탐색해보았다. 이에 조모의 양육 보상 및 비용 지각의 수준 차이를 살펴보며, 조모 및 손자녀 특성, 가구 특성, 정부의 지원이 조모의 보상 및 비용 지각에 미치는 영향력을 파악하였다. 또한 양육 보상-비용 지각의 유형화를 시도함과 아울러 각 유형집단이 가진 특성을 고찰하였다. 한명 이상의 18세 이하 손자녀와 동거하면서 주양육 책임을 지고 있는 조모 449명으로부터 수집한 자료를 분석한 결과, 우리나라 조손가족 조모는 양육에 대한 비용을 지각하는 것과 동시에 보상 또한 높은 수준에서 지각하는 것으로 나타났다. 양육 보상감을 종속변수로 한 위계적 다중회귀 분석 결과, 조모의 경제적 형편, 손자녀의 연령, 손자녀의 기질적 특성 등이 유의미한 영향을 미치며, 친족지위, 정부의 도구적 지원 등도 유의미한 영향력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 양육비용을 종속변수로 한 분석결과에서는 조모의 신체적 건강, 경제적 형편, 손자녀 수, 양육동기가 비용감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 양육보상-비용 지각 수준을 기준으로 유형화 작업을 실시한 결과, 4개의 유형이 관찰되었으며 가장 많은 수의 응답자가 <보상고(高)-비용저(低)>집단에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 조손가족의 부정적 측면, 즉 높은 비용에 초점을 맞추는 기존 시각을 재검토할 필요성을 제기하는 결과라고 할 수 있으며, 조손가족 조모의 손자녀 양육경험이 다양한 양상임을 시사한다고 하겠다.
