The aim of this study is to structuralize a model of the factors determining the quality of nursing care perceived by the director or manager of a long-term care facilities (hospitalization of patients) using FSM(Fuzzy Structural Modeling), employed in structuralizing social systems. The results were as follows: first, quality in the top tier was shown to be connected with job commitment, commitment to the organization, work experience, care skills, knowledge about the elderly, training and education, which are factors in the middle tier; and second, the structure of the middle tier (job commitment, commitment to the organization, work experience, care skills, knowledge about the elderly, training and education) either showed a connection with the lower tier, which includes employment type, job satisfaction, leadership, relationship with users and workplace relationships, or showed a connection among the factors within. These results confirmed the following: first, care skills and knowledge about the elderly, which demonstrate the job expertise of caregivers, showed a connection with service quality based on work experience; second, job commitment in the middle tier was observed to affect various factors in the same tier such as care skills, knowledge about the elderly, training and education amongst others, and it was determined that it is an important determining factor in service quality. Lastly, a meaningful result was shown in relation to leadership. The leadership skills of the director of the facilities had a connection with the care caregivers' commitment to the organization, which had a connection with service quality. This structure showed the kind of role the director must play in order to improve service quality.

This study is about the re-validation evaluation of the family Relationship Scale (FRS), developed to measure the family relationship in the social work practice. This study aims at re-validating the FRS, developed and validated in by Yang in 2001 for more general utilization. The sample was married mates and females residing in Seoul. For Face Validity, the content analysis was performed, and the FRS was re-validated in the dimensions of Love & Caring, Acceptance, and Recognition, positive affection, empathy, and autonomy and flexibility for each area. Internal reliability was .93, and internal consistency among three dimensions was 93%. For Empirical Validity, the Construct validity, the Criterion validity, and the Discriminant validity were performed. Construct Validity was validated through factor analyses. Commonalities for the factor analysis was 54%, and the factor loading for each factor was over .45. The confirmative factor analysis also confirmed the fitness of the scale. For Predictive Validity of Criterion Validity, regression analysis showed that the family stress scores became lower as the scores of the family relationship became higher; the discriminant analysis revealed that the family stress turned low ill tile group of high scores of family relationship. The Correlation analysis for Concurrent Validity was performed and the results showed the positive and significant relationship with a couple communication level (r=54) and a parent-child communication level (r=64). Life satisfaction and mental health level also revealed significantly positive correlation to prove Convergent Validity. Physical health level revealed a weak relationship with family relationship providing the evidence of Discriminant Validity. Discriminance was also proved by the analysis of variance with demographics. Thus, Cross Validation was confirmed the validation of the FRS through the various analyses with the married population. This study result improved the validity generalization of the Scale and verify the generalized usage of this sociometric scale in the field of social work practice.

Due to the recent deepening youth unemployment aftereffect, government, companies and universities seek a youth unemployment resolution method and jobs creating measures. But there are indications that the Good Job the university students prefer are limited and sudden rise of the youth unemployment rate mirrors the situation in Japan 20 years ago. Thus, based on the preceding research, this research attempted to perform comparative analysis on Korean and Japanese university students' employment preparation activities and perceived organizational support affect their Awareness of Good Job. To achieve the goal, 2013 GOMS 5,380 copies provided by Korea Employment Information Service are used in the case of Korea and total 5,636 copies within 256 questionnaires targeted to Japanese university students are used in the case of Japan. The results of analysis are as follows. The effect relationship between the perception of organizational support and awareness of Good Job showed a positive influence both in Korea and Japan. The effect relationship between employment preparation activities and awareness of Good Job showed a meaningful effect in Korea whereas it showed no effect in Japan. In the relationship between activities of employment preparation and awareness of Good Job, moderating effect of gender and major field of study didn't show any effect either in Korea or Japan. The results of this research are as follows. First, because it is verified that the support of university has positive influence on the university students' awareness of Good Job, it seems that universities need to intensify the support for the students' welfare enhancement, education satisfaction and the structural support system. Second, the gap of attitude of employment preparation activities and awareness of Good Job between Korea and Japan occurred due to the levels of social structure, welfare and wage differences in the two countries. Therefore, if measures of policy to resolve the welfare and wage gaps between conglomerates and smaller enterprises are enacted, the awareness of younger generations to the Good Job will show a corresponding effect.

사회생활 양식이 점차 복잡해지고 생활전반의 조직이 고도화됨에 따라 대규모 급식의 필요성이 점점 증가되고 있다. 그 동안 단체급식은 자체적으로 운영하는 경우가 많았으나, 최근 들어 위탁운영의 효율성에 대한 인식이 높아짐에 따라 위탁 운영률이 크게 높아지고 있다. 현재까지 대학급식에 관한 연구는 대학식당의 이용실태, 대학 식단의 만족도 평가, 대학급식 메뉴 관리 및 운영 등을 조사한 연구는 많았으나 운영형태에 따른 식단 분석 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에는 서울 시내 일부 대학교의 구내에 있는 5개 식당 23가지 식단에 대하여 직영급식과 위탁급식으로 나누어 학생들에게 제공되는 메뉴를 영양가면과 다양성 면에서 평가하고, 제공된 메뉴를 학생들이 실제 섭취하는 실태를 조사하여 섭취한 식단의 영양가와 음식의 종류를 분석하였다. 본 조사에서 이용한 식단은 총 23가지였고, 그 중에서 직영급식 13가지, 위탁급식 10가지였다. 제공된 상용식단형태는 직영급식은$\ulcorner$밥+국+반찬2+김치1$\lrcorner$, 위탁급식은 $\ulcorner$한그릇+국+반찬1+김치1$\lrcorner$이었으며, 우리나라 전통의 기본패턴을 갖추고 있었다. 제공된 식단 중 한끼 영양소 함량을 평가해본 결과 여자의 경우 1/3 영양권장량을 제공하였으나, 남자의 경우는 부족하였다. 제공되는 식단의 음식군별 제공열량을 살펴보면 밥은 평균 399㎉, 한그릇음식은 425㎉로 한 그릇음식의 경우가 높은 열량을 제공하고 있었다. 반찬의 경우 1가지로부터 얻는 열량은 평균 107㎉였으며 김치의 경우는 9.84 ㎉였다. 직영급식과 위탁급식으로 나누어 살펴보면 한 그릇음식, 반찬, 김치의 제공열량이 위탁급식에서 약간 높은 경향을 보였다. 대상자의 음식의 평균 가짓수는 직영 5.5가지, 위탁 4.3가지였으며, 음식 및 반찬 가짓수가 증가할수록 섭취열량이 증가하였다. 대상자들의 섭취한 식단의 한끼당 섭취한 영양소 함량은 직영급식 524㎉, 위탁급식 494㎉였고, 단백질, 지질, 인, 철, 비타민A, 나이아신 등이 유의적으로 직영급식에서 높았다(p<0.001) 섭취한 식단의 영양소 함량은 인과 비타민C를 제외한 모든 영양소에서 권장량에 미달되었다. 섭취한 식단의 영양소적정섭취비는 대부분 0.4-0.9의 값을 보였고, 평균적정섭취비도 직영, 위탁 모두 0.68로 낮은 값을 보였다. 영양소 밀도의 경우 절대적 섭취에서 직영급식이 대부분의 영양소를 많이 섭취하고 있는 것과는 달리 위탁급식에서 철분의 밀도가 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.01). 총 대상자들이 식단에서 섭취한 열량을 살펴보면, 주식류의 경우 밥은 298㎉, 한 그릇음식은 386㎉로 한 그릇음식이 많은 열량을 제공하고 있었다. 반찬의 경우는 1가지로부터 얻는 열량은 78㎉, 김치는 8㎉였다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 제공량은 직영급식에서 많았으나 영양밀도 면에서는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 보아 위탁급식의 제공량을 늘린다면 급식운영형태별 두 식단의 질적 차이가 크게 줄어들 것으로 보인다. 그러나 두 급식 형태 모두 제공식단의 영양소 함량은 다른 지역이나 연령에 비해 부족한 것으로 나타나 아침 결식 및 불규칙한 식사 등 영양상태가 좋지 못한 대학생들에게 교내 식당에서 질 높은 식사를 제공해야 할 것이다. 또한 식단 작성 시 학생들의 메뉴 기호도를 충분히 반영시키고 다양한 메뉴를 제공하는데 한계가 있다면 주.부식 외에 다양한 후식제공을 통하여 학교 급식에 대한 질을 향상시키는 노력을 해야 할 것이다.

Recently, environmental issues have become serious, and Jeju Island is promoting a pilot project of a smart collection system(waste weight-based collection system) at clean houses in Yongdam 1-dong. However, the new system faced an opposition from elderly residents who were not accustomed to using machines or smart devices. In order to solve this problem, it was intended to suggest policies related to this by conducting environmental education and identifying problems with the effect of environmental education awareness through data analysis method. The results showed positive answers in most of the satisfaction and achievement evaluations, but it is also true that most of the residents need to be educated and more information should be given. In order to vitalize education, it is important to increase the number of instructors and support them to increase their expertise. It is also important to take a practical process that strengthens public relations, shares information, and links with the local community to increase the actual participation of local residents. In addition, it is critical to secure a budget from local governments to maintain education and public awareness, and it will be helpful to link with talent donation projects in the region.

A questionnaire was used to collect date on general characteristics, health status, social health status and utilization rate for health services. The instruments used in this study were the Lawton scale, to measure daily routine function, the MMSE-K developed by Folstein and modified to fit the Korea situation, for mental health status, and the CES-Dtool developed by Radloff, for emotional health status. the SPSS Window program was used to calculate percentages. Tests of significance were done using t-test and ANOVA. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify variables influencing the use of health services. The results are as follows : Of those utilizing senior citizen centers, 40.9% of males and 17.3% of the female thought they were healthy. The average score for IADL was 7.4. The daily routine of female respondents consisted of buying household articles and drugs, and other IADLs such as riding the bus or subway alone. These resulted in a higher score compared to males. For emotional health, 7.6% of the males reported depression compared to 21.6% of the females. For mental health, 48.5% of the males and 28.8% of the females were found to be in the group suspicious for dementia. On social health, 57.6% of the males and 62.6% of the females reported no intimate human relations. Of those older people who had close human relations, 52.5% of the males indicated a friend as the closest person and 53.8% of the females, their children. On use of health services, there was a significantly higher need for mobile medical care services treatment for those with lower education levels and status of window/widower. There was a significantly higher need for health exmination services for those with lower levels of exercise, greater satisfaction with sleep, higher levels of oral health care, and higher social contacts. In conclusion, there is a need to provide varied programs for the promotion of health, along with parallel resolution of social, psychological and economic issues. It is recommended that health services for elderly people provided by the health centers be implemented with full recognition of these characteristics and differences.
