Second, Participants perceived a change in positive perspective and a child's growth through family support. Suggestions for the results are as follows. first, the establishment of a cooperative support system with homeroom teachers as a strengthening of the support system for parents with school-age ADHD children. Second, It is necessary to develop and apply programs to increase family resilience. Third, It should support the creation of self-help groups to expand the human resources system. This study is meaningful in that it identifies the process of family resilience and suggests alternatives.

Multicultural Family Support Centers (MFSC) have provided five program areas including family, gender equality, human rights, social integration, and counseling since 2015. It is important to examine the MFSC staff's perceptions of the family programs and program needs for multicultural families to improve the effectiveness of these programs. In this study, we aim to explore the staff's perceptions of the family programs and to assess multicultural family program needs based on the family life cycle. A total of 130 MFSC staff were recruited through 128 MFSCs across Korea. Descriptive statistics were conducted for data analysis. Our findings revealed that MFSC staff have increasingly recognized that their target audiences are not only marriage immigrants and their families but also foreign workers' families and families from North Korea. In addition, the MFSC staff identified the importance of family programs instead of only programs for individual family members and multicultural families' different program needs based on their family life cycle. Contrary to the positive perception of the family programs, they described challenges of the family programs including a shortage of funds, difficulty recruiting family member combinations (e.g., couples, parent-child) for family programs, a lack of a program manual, and a heavy workload. This study provides insights into the family programs including their development and delivery.

We examine how women entrepreneurs in contents business experience work/family role conflict and then reveal what kind of conflict management strategies they adopt in varying external and internal conditions. A critical problem faced by female entrepreneur is the tension that exists between their personal lives and business role. This tension is viewed as a form of inter-role conflict in which the role pressure from work and family competes for women's limited time and energy. First, we probe the content and nature of work- family role conflict on the part of female entrepreneurs. Second, we closely look at the three strategies of work/family role manipulation. Family role reduction strategy, work role reduction strategy, and work/family role sharing strategy are identified. Third, we discuss how the choice of the three strategies is affected by internal family salience and the external resources including spouse, family, and financial resources.

본 연구는 친족관계의 전반적 현황과 양계화 정도를 살펴봄으로써 친족관계 영역에서 변화하는 한국가족의 현주소에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 전국의 성인남녀 1755명을 대상으로, 본인 및 배우자 부모와의 동거여부, 거주근접성, 접촉빈도를 비교함으로써 세대관계의 구조적 차원에서 양계화가 어느 정도 이루어졌는지 살펴보았다. 또한, 양계화 정도의 구체적 내용 파악을 위하여 가족의 협력 네트워크의 양상을 조사하였다. 즉 경제적, 도구적, 정서적 지원 영역에서 도움을 주고받는 대상에 대한 조사를 통하여 가족의 지원망 구성 및 활용에 있어 친족이 차지하는 비중 및 양계성의 정도를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 한국가족의 세대관계의 구조적 특성은 양계화된 모습과 부계적인 모습이 혼재되어있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 가족의 협력네트워크 활용의 측면에서, 한국가족은 부계친족 및 모계친족과의 상호작용이 균형적으로 이루어지는 대칭적 양계화라기보다는 비대칭적 성격의 양계화 경향을 보였다. 이것은 부계중심적으로 규범화된 친족유대의 경향이 그대로 유지되면서 동시에 실제적 필요에 의한 아내의 친족망 활용정도가 높아진데서 기인한 결과라 할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 한국사회의 빠른 변화에도 불구하고 가족영역에서의 변화가 상당히 느리게 진행되고 있음을 반영한다.

In the harsh period for young adults to prepare their successful life, this study aimed to understand the specific experiences of independence transition among homeless young adults. Also this article explored how their family perform as a supportive system for their independence. Using in depth interview materials of 19~39 aged 8 young homeless males, the research analyzed their family's weak support; no family members, no economic support and breaking relationship. As to occasion of independence, the participants sometimes experienced loss of house, evacuation by their family or runaway from their home. It was abrupt and unexpected leaving home. Also their process of independence was beyond their capacity that they suffered from instability job and destitute rather than continuous mental trauma and isolation. In the end they faced serious risky situations that they cannot manage without any help. The findings of this study suggest that quality of family relationship would be more important than economic capital from family and transition to adulthood of vulnerable young adults who don't have family support need much alternative supportive system and social capital.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs for return-to-work support of cancer survivors and related factors in patients with cancer and their caregivers. Methods : 182 patients and 114 caregivers were recruited. Distress Thermometer and Problem List and scale ranging 0~10 measuring the degree of needs for return-to-work support were utilized. The needs for return-to-work support between the patient group and caregiver group (patient's needs evaluated by the caregiver) were compared, and related factors were investigated using logistic regression analysis. Results : 34.6% and 28.1% of patients and caregivers reported return-to-work support of cancer survivors is "very necessary". The degree of needs was 6.60±3.365 points in the patient group and 6.17±3.454 points in the caregiver group, with no significant difference (p=0.282). The needs for return-to-work support evaluated by patients was high when they underwent surgery (OR=2.592, p=0.007), has fertility problems (OR=6.137, p=0.025), has appearance problems (OR=2.081, p=0.041), or has fatigue (OR=2.330, p=0.020). The needs for return-to-work support of patients evaluated by caregivers was high when patients treated with breast cancer (vs respiratory cancer, OR=13.038, p=0.022 ; vs leukemia/lymphoma, OR=4.517, p=0.025 ; vs other cancer, OR=13.102, p=0.019), has work/school problems (OR=4.578, p=0.005), or has depression (OR=3.213, p=0.022). Conclusions : The degree of needs for return-to-work support of cancer survivors was high, and factors related to the needs were different between the two groups. This suggests that return-to-work support of cancer survivors is required, and clinical characteristics, the distress of patients, and differences between patients and their caregivers should be considered in establishing a support plan.

본 연구는 한국노동패널 1998-2001 자료를 이용하여 성장기에 경험한 가족구조와 저소득, 빈곤 등의 가족배경이 청소년의 교육성취 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 가족구조와 가족소득, 빈곤의 영향을 각각 분석한 결과 각 변수는 청소년의 학력연수와 대학입학확률, 진학고교유형과 통계적으로 유의미한 관계를 보였다. 19세의 학력연수와 대학진학확률의 경우 이혼 별거가족의 청소년과 한부모가족을 장기적으로 경험한 청소년, 빈곤가족의 청소년은 특히 낮은 수준의 성취도를 보였다. 가족구조가 19세의 교육성취에 미치는 영향은 소득수준이나 빈곤을 통제한 후에도 지속되는 것으로 나타났다. 소득과 빈곤의 영향력 또한 가족구조가 모형에 포함된 후에도 큰 차이가 없었다. 반면에 16세의 진학고교유형에 대해서는 가족구조와 가족소득을 같이 모형에 포함하는 경우 가족구조의 영향은 일관되지 않고 빈곤의 영향 또한 사라진다. 가족구조와 빈곤의 상대적 영향력을 두 변수가 모두 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미친 대학진학모형에서 비교한 결과 가족구조의 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구의 발견은 한부모가족과 빈곤가족에 대한 사회적 지원 대책이 청소년 교육성취 수준을 향상하는 데에 크게 기여할 수 있음을 시사한다.
