This study examined the level of social support for grandparent-headed families and its effects on the grandparents' physical and mental health. For this purpose, the survey data was collected from 141 grandparents raising their grandchildren in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The study generated several findings. First, grandparent-headed families tended to rely on formal support system rather than informal one. Second, grandparent's physical health was found to be very poor that 82.3% of the grandparents reportedly needed some assistance in at least one ADL, and their mean score of depression measured by CES-D was 27.4, indicating a moderate level of psychological distress. Third, among the sociodemographic and stressor variables, grandparents' sex, the number of their children and household keeping burden were statistically significant predictors of their ADL restriction. As for depression level of the grandparents, their monthly income, parenting duration, the number of their children, economic difficulties, household keeping burden and social restrictions were found to be statistically significant. Fourth, grandparents who reported of having more social support from their friends, a higher level of satisfaction of the friends' social support and also of being satisfied with social support from their religious associations tended to experience significantly less ADL restrictions. The more kinds of social support received from friends and social welfare agencies and the less satisfied they were with social support from governmental sector, the higher their depression level was. Implications for social welfare services and programs for grandparent-headed families were discussed.

This study examined the physical self-concept and self-efficacy of undergraduates. Using the convenience sampling method of non-provability sampling, a total of 377 undergraduates from North Kyongsang Province G city were selected. Of the 377 completed questionnairescollected, a total of 354 surveys with structural equation modeling were analyzed using theSPSS 22.0 statistics program. The self-esteem, endurance, health, and flexibility factors have positive effects on improvingthe self-control efficacy factor of self-efficacy in the order of physical self-concept factors. On the other hand,the higher university students perceive that among the physical self-concepts, the physical activity factor had more negative effects on the self-regulated efficacy. The self-esteem, health, and muscle strength have positive effects on improvingthe confidence factor of self-efficacy in the order of physical self-concept factors. The more perceptive endurance than the appearance, sports competence, body fat, health, self-esteem, flexibility, muscle strength of physical self-concept, and the more influence on self-efficacy. Overall, the higher the perception of physical activity factors among the physical self-concept factors, the more negative effects on the task difficult preference.

한국의 스트릿 문화 중심에는 한류가 있었고 지금까지 많은 발전을 해왔다. 이를 뒷받침 하는 것이 한류 열풍이고 k-pop이라는 새로운 문화 트렌드가 자리가 잡았다. 아이돌 가수들의 노래, 패션, 말투, 춤 등 이 모든 것들이 청소년의 여가 활도에 상당한 영향력을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 청소년의 스트릿 댄스에 대한 관심과 인식 조사를 통하여 청소년들이 참여할 수 있는 동기유발과 스트릿 댄스 교육의 중요성 및 방향을 제시함으로써 스트릿 댄스의 발전에 기여하고 올바른 청소년의 여가활동의 방향을 잡고자 하였다. 따라서 연구 문제는 다음과 같이 설정하였다. 첫째, 스트릿 댄스는 청소년 문화와 정서에 큰 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 스트릿 댄스는 신체적 심리적 사회적 변화와 개인의 여가활동 변화에 긍정적인 작용으로 나타날 것이다. 스트릿 댄스 교육의 활성화를 위해 청소년기 학생들로부터 관심을 높일 수 있는 다각화된 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것이다.

목적: 방사성옥소 치료를 받는 많은 환자들이 장기간의 전처치와 격리 입원 동안에 신체적 불편함을 호소하므로 이를 줄여주기 위하여 첫째, 방사성옥소 치료 전 환자들이 저옥소식을 잘 지킬 수 있도록 도움을 주며 둘째, 4일간의 격리입원기간 동안 심리적 어려움과 신체 적불편함을 줄여줌으로써 환자의 만족도를 향상시키는 효과를 기대하고자 본 연구를 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1. 연구자들의 브레인스토밍을 통해 환자들의 불편함을 파악하였다. 2. 방사성옥소 치료를 위해 입원한 환자 36명에게 입원 기간 동안 느낀 점을 기록하게 하고 이를 조사하였다. 3. 환자 퇴원시에 치료과정에 대한 만족도 설문을 문제점 개선 전 33명, 개선 후 22명에게 조사하였다. 결과: 문제점과 개선안을 도출하였으며 가능한 범위 내에서 개선활동을 실시하였다. 그리고 만족도 설문을 조사하였으며 개선 전 후를 비교하였다. 문제점으로 1) 저옥소식: 맛이 없다, 반찬 가려 먹기가 어렵다. 2) 치료병실 생활: 속이 메스꺼워 음식 섭취가 곤란하다, 병실이 춥다. 3) 호르몬제 투여중지: 전신이 나른하다, 몸이 붓는다가 도출되었으며 이를 해결하기 위한 개선 활동은 1) 입원 전 예약 시에 음식조절(저옥소식)에 대한 설명을 자세히 하였다. 2) 타부서와의 협의-협조사항(치료병실의 청결유지와 쾌적한 병실을 만들기 위해 16층 병동과 협의, 저옥소식 영양상담을 치료 과정중에 넣기 위해 영양과와 협의, 온열매트리스 설치와 보온이불 구입을 위해 시설팀과 협의 등)을 해결하려 노력했다. 3) 전반적인 개선활동(방사성옥소를 차질없이 구입, 치료병실의 치료 전 후 방사능오염 방지, 환자의 심리적 불안감 해소 등)을 하였다. 환자의 만족도 설문에 대한 개선 활동 전 후 비교 결과에서 '치료과정 전체에 대해 힘들었다'는 개선 전 후에 각각 80.6%, 81.8%로 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한 문제점으로 도출된 '저옥소식이 힘들었다'는 개선 전 후에 각각 24.1%, 27.8%로 역시 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 '병실생활이 힘들었다'는 개선 전 후에 각각 48.3%, 72.2%로 큰 차이를 보였다. 그리고 '호르몬 투여중지로 인해 힘들었다'는 개선 전 후에 각각 27.6%, 0%로 큰 차이를 보였다. 고찰 및 결론: 환자들의 불편함을 줄여주기 위하여 연구자들의 개선활동이 있었고 그 중에서 입원병실의 생활환경이 특히 향상되었다. 그러나 결과에서 '병실생활이 힘들었다'에 대한 답의 비율은 오히려 더 높아졌다. 이는 '호르몬 투여 중지로 힘들었다'로 답하는 환자의 비율이 상대적으로 줄었기 때문에 높아진 것으로 생각되었다. 방사성옥소 치료로 인해 생길 수밖에 없는 신체적 반응 때문에 대부분의 환자들은 항상 힘들었다고 할 것이다. 만족도 개선 활동으로 환자의 힘든 치료과정을 완전히 해소시켜 줄 수는 없었으나 환자입장에서 생각할 수 있게 된 계기가 되었으며 좀 더 향상된 치료환경을 제공하는 기회가 되었다.

One year has passed since the pandemic of COVID-19, which occurred in Wuhan, China, in November 2019 began. Worldwide, as of January 2021, more than 95 million people have been infected, and the death toll is higher than 2 million. In Korea, there are 74,262 infected and 1,328 dead, and government policies such as social distancing to prevent infection are being implemented. Accordingly, many inconveniences occurred in the physical activity environment, such as the closure of various sports facilities. It was necessary to consider physical activities to maintain healthy life while cooperating with the national policy while preventing infection. This study investigated the benefits of physical activity to reduce the risk of trichomoniasis and diabetes, improve bone mineral density, prolong healthy lifespan, maintain activity performance with aging, and improve psychological anxiety and depression. In addition, the physiological changes that may occur in the situation of stopping exercise due to social distancing to prevent COVID-19 infection were reviewed. In addition, moderate-intensity exercise that helps strengthen immune function by activating natural killer cells, neutrophils, and antibody responses was investigated. In addition, it reduces the level and function of blood B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells for several hours, decreases phagocytosis of neutrophils in the nasal cavity, increases inflammatory cytokines, decreases immune function, and increases infection. High-intensity exercise was considered. Therefore, in the age of COVID-19, long-term high-intensity exercise such as marathon, which causes impaired immune function, should be refrained from. And you should do moderate-intensity regular aerobic exercise such as fast walking to help prevent infection. It is also recommended to participate in resistance exercises to prevent loss of muscle mass.
