Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify factors influencing on the mental health in bereaved adults. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study was conducted in 160 adults who had experienced bereavement. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses with SPSS 26.0. Results: The participants' mental health showed a positive correlation with complicated grief (r=.31, p<.001) and a negative correlation with grief and meaning reconstruction (r=-.30, p<.001). Sex, sleeping time, intimacy with the deceased, grief reaction, and grief and meaning reconstruction were significant factors influencing on the mental health. The total explanatory power of these variables was 31.8%. Conclusion: It is necessary to explore the persistent and impairing grief after experiencing bereavement. Our study findings will be fundamental evidence to develop nursing interventions to improve adult mental health dealing with bereavement and grief.

This study aims to examine life experiences of single mothers according to three types of single parent families, divorced, widowed and unmarried and how they cope with their difficulties to become self-reliant and to identify strengths promoting self-reliance. The researchers analyzed personal, environmental and life factors by using the strengths perspective and discovered distinctive features of three types of single mothers that promote self-reliance. Data were collected by in-depth interviews with 20 single mothers, 4 widows, 8 divorced mothers and 8 unmarried single mothers. The results show that participants defined their experiences of self-reliance as a process to increase capability to accomplish their responsibilities as a mother, rather than as a completed goal. Increasing capability not only means achieving economic self-sufficiency, but also gaining psychosocial strengths that are developed by embracing one's own life, having sense of control and empowerment. This study identified commonalities and differences of strengths and resources and unique experiences of participants and proposed implications for policy and practice related to the roles of service delivery and support system.

시추조사는 설계 및 시공을 위한 기본적인 조사이며 조사자는 지층을 정확히 판단하고 시추주상도를 매개체로하여 이를 설계자와 시공자에게 전달하여야 한다. 많이 개선되었다고는 하지만 시추주상도의 내용이 작성자 또는 작성회사별로 양식과 기재방법이 다른 경우가 많아 시추주상도의 역할이 반감되는 경우가 많다. 본 고에서는 조사업계에 종사한 경험을 바탕으로 합리적인 시추주상도 작성을 위해 국내외의 시추주상도 양식을 비교하고 표준안을 제시하였으며 기재방법의 통일을 기하기 위한 개선 사항을 제시하였다.

This research reports on a qualitative analysis of email facilitated reflective dialogue with seven college students whose parent dies. The study was exploratory in considering cultural values on intact family and asked the question: What do children experience after parental death in terms of the relationships with intra and extrafamily systems? Young adult children of single parent family expressed that they felt social pressure to practice filial piety toward their single parent. They made efforts to fulfill the social expectation and to achieve social desirability. Social stigma from extrafamily systems affected the experiences of the bereaved children. In terms of intrafamily system, young adult children tend to idealize their deceased parent. Single parents depended on the young adult children, which made parent-child relationship enmeshed or conflicting. The holistic view of the study highlights the importance of interactions between individuals and the intra and extra family systems when understanding family loss experience of the bereaved young people.

The life of middle-aged one-person households is rising as one of the most important family policy issues in Korean society. In Japan, even in multi-person households, the issues of middle-aged sons and daughters living with their old parents have been a concern. Data are from the 13^th wave of the Korea Welfare Panel Study analyzing 482 middle-aged singe males regardless of their past marital status. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of human capital and social capital on the life satisfaction of middle-aged single persons by comparing one-person and multi-person households, respectively. Major results were as follows: First, the level of human capital of one-person households of middle aged males was lower than their counterparts in multi-person households. Second, the level of social capital in the group of divorced or widowed, nonhouseholder middle-aged males in multi-person households was lower than their counterparts in one-person households. Third, the effects of human capital and social capital on life satisfaction was significantly different by their marital status and household types in the group of middle-aged single males. Based on the results, policy implications on the community programs for middle-aged males including not only one-person households but also multi-person households were discussed.

서론: 최근 음주가 사회적 문제로 더욱 심각하게 인식되고 있는 가운데 우리나라의 음주 소비량은 점점 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 또한 빠른 사회경제적 변화는 새로운 도덕과 가치의 변화를 가져왔으며 알코올 소비량의 증가와 관계가 있다.(양정남, 1998) 특히 결혼 및 배우자 유무는 음주에 중요한 관련 요인이라는 주장이 있음에도(김태수 등, 2003) 실증적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 음주 형태의 관련성을 파악하고 음주 관련 교육 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구방법: 연구 대상자는 2005년 국민건강영양조사에서 40대 이상의 남녀 중 결혼 경험이 있는 14,970명 중 음주행태에 관한 설문에 응답한 3,190명이었으며, 결혼 후 배우자의 유무에 따른 고위험 음주 경험 및 다빈도 음주, 음주자제빈도, 고위험음주빈도와의 관련성을 통계 분석하였다. 연구결과: 결혼 후 배우자 유무에 따른 음주 행태의 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성은 남자 1,678명(52.6%)이며, 여자 1,512명(47.4%)였다. 연령별로는 65세 미만 2,359명(73.9%), 65세 이상 831명(26.1%)이었다. 결혼상태는 유배우 2,621명(82.2%), 사별 344명(10.8%), 이혼 및 별거 225명(7.1%)이었다. 고위험 음주경험은 한달에 한번 미만 1,883명(59.0%), 한달에 한번 정도 379명(11.9%), 일주일에 한번 이상 928명(29.1%)으로 한달에 한번 미만 고위험 음주를 경험한다가 가장 많았으며, 일주일에 한번이상. 일주일에 한번정도 순으로 고위험 음주를 한다고 응답하였다. 월평균 음주 횟 수에 있어서는 5회 이하 1,149명(36.0), 6회-10회 395명(12.4%), 11회이상 593명(27.7%)이었다. 고위험 음주 경험을 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 고위험 음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 고위험 음주음 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 고위험 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 음주자제 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 음주자제 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 음주자제 경험이 낮아지며, 교육수준이 높아지면 음주자제 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 다빈도 음주 경험 종속변수로 한 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 여자보다 남자가 다빈도음주 경험을 많아 하며, 연령이 증가하면 다빈도 음주 경험 높아지며, 가구 평균 소득이 증가 하거나, 교육수준이 높아지면 다빈도 음주 경험은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 논의 및 결론: 결혼 후 배우자 유무와 고위험 음주는 남녀를 합친 전체와 남자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 음주자제빈도에서는 남녀를 합친 전체에서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 다빈도 음주에서 여자에게서 통계적으로 유의하였다. 이러한 결과는 절주사업 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였으며, 추가적인 연구의 필요성을 시사하였다.

This study aims to investigate predictors of the subjective well-being of middle-aged single mothers who experienced divorce or bereavement. The study involved 244 divorced or widowed women from the 7th Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families aged 40-60 who had children and were employed. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were conducted. The research results showed that the socio-demographic characteristic (marital status and health), person-related variables (satisfaction with leisure activity and stress), and work-related variables (job satisfaction and work-family enrichment) were significantly related to happiness of middle-aged single mothers. Current economic status and stress were associated with depression in middle-aged single mothers. Increasing middle-aged single mothers' participation in healthy leisure activities, reducing their stress, and improving their satisfaction with work were found to be important to enhancing their subjective well-being. Regarding the foregoing, policy directions were discussed for middle-aged single mothers' leisure activities, stress management, and improved satisfaction with work.
