The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of psychological factors on caregiver burden and depression among Korean spousal caregivers. 142 spousal caregivers (89 wives, 52 husbands) in Seoul and Incheon City were surveyed to determine the influence of objective factors of the care recipient, demographic of the caregiver, personality dimensions of extroversion and neuroticism of caregiver, social support, and pre-caregiving marital satisfaction on caregiver burden and depression of spousal caregivers. Hierarchical regression was used to determine the influence of the various factors on caregiver burden and depression. Finding suggest that care recipient's activities of daily living(ADL) and caregiver neuroticism predicted caregiver burden, whereas pre-caregiving martial satisfaction and caregiver neuroticism predicted depression. In particular, psychological factors were better predictors of caregiver burden and depression compared with objective factors. Based on the results, the implications, interventions, limitations and future directions for research were discussed about the psychological factors on spousal caregiving.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the affecting factors and debt characteristics with household debt. The method of analysis was used SPSS 22.0. The main results were as follows. First, psychological debt burden group were found to be lower academic background, more household members, job in agriculture, forestry and fisheries and women among demographic characteristics. This suggests the need for the governments who are interested in the risk from household debt. Second, psychological debt burden group showed higher level of debt and average monthly debt repayments. This study implies that it is necessary to do financial education and consulting. Third, psychological debt burden group seemed that the households with more the average monthly interest payments and repayments on income, the more total liabilities compared to total assets.

로봇의 활동 영역이 사람의 활동 영역과 점점 더 크게 겹쳐지면서 로봇이 사람과 무리없이 공존하는데 필요한 기술에 대한 요구가 심화되고 있다. 행위가독성은 겉으로 드러난 로봇의 행위를 기반으로 얼마나 쉽고 빠르게 로봇의 행위 의도를 판단할 수 있는지를 나타내는 지표로서 로봇과 상호작용하는 사람의 심리적이고 물리적인 부담을 최소화하는데 결정적인 요소로 받아들여지고 있다. 많은 연구를 통해 로봇 행위의 가독성이 높으면 사람이 더 빠르고 명료하게 로봇의 의도를 인지할 수 있고 그 결과 사람의 안전과 심리적 안정이 향상될 뿐 아니라 사람과 로봇 간 협업의 효율도 높아진다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 이 글에서는 행위가독성의 개념을 소개하고 행위가독성을 향상하는 대표적 연구 사례들을 살펴본다.

Objectives : Alzheimer's disease(AD) is characterized by progressive decline of cognitive function and also by various behavioral psychological symptoms of dementia(BPSD) which causes distress to their caregivers. The purpose of this study was to investigate association between each AD patients' behavioral psychological symptoms and their caregivers' burden. Methods : Participants were 80 AD patients and their caregivers. We used Korean neuropsychiatric inventory (K-NPI) to assess the symptoms of patients and Korean version of Zarit Burden Interview(ZBI) to evaluate caregivers' burden. Results : The results showed ZBI score, which is the index for caregivers' burden, had a statistically significant positive correlation with the frequency of delusion, hallucination, agitation/aggression, depression, anxiety, disinhibition and irritability, the severity of hallucination, agitation/aggression, anxiety, disinhibition, aberrant motor, and sleep, and the global score(frequency${\times}$severity) for delusion, hallucination, agitation/aggression, depression, anxiety, disinhibition, aberrant motor, and sleep. There were significant correlations between each scale for cognitive function(i.e. MMSE-KC, CDR, GDS) and ZBI scale. Correlations between each scale for activity of daily living(i.e. Barthel -ADL, K-ADL) and ZBI scale were also significant. Conclusions : There were a significant correlation between BPSD and caregiver burden. Caregiver burden was also correlated with cognitive function and activity of daily living. Early detection and preventive treatment of these symptoms in BPSD might make improvement of caregivers' quality of life as well as AD patients'.

척수 손상에 의한 사지마비 중증 장애인이 일상 생활을 함에 있어서 가족이나 주변인의 도움을 받지 않고서는 가전제품의 작동이나 전화 통화 등과 같은 작은 일 조차 스스로 할 수 없는 현실에서 국내 여건에 적합한 생활환경 제어장치의 개발이 필요하나 현재 이를 위한 마땅한 제어장치가 없는 실정이다. 각 가정에 널리 보급되어 있는 PC를 활용할 수 있도록 PC기반의 음성인식기를 개발하고 이를 응용한 가전제품 제어기를 개발, 제작하여 사지마비 환자 스스로 간단한 동작만으로 환자와 가족의 신체적, 정신적 부담을 감소 하고자 한다 이장치는 음성인식기 부분과 제어장치 부분 그리고 I/O 인터페이스 부분으로 구성 되어있다. 중증장애인은 이 장치를 사용하여 일상생활에서 기본적인 자유로운 생활의 영위를 도모하며 환자 가족의 부담을 줄일 수 있으며 환자와 가족 모두 심리적인 만족을 얻은 것으로 나타난다. 그러나 기기 사용을 위한 환자의 음성인식을 위한 언어학습과정의 불편함과 인식에러의 과제가 남아있다.

Employee well-being, along with its associated barriers and improvement strategies, has become an escalating concern for researchers and organizations worldwide. This study examined the mechanism behind workplace bullying and depression, exploring the role of psychological safety as a mediating factor. Additionally, we investigated the potential impact of organizational compassion, distinguishing between supervisor and co-worker compassion, as a means of supporting employees subjected to workplace bullying. Based on an analysis of 392 online survey responses from full-time employees in South Korea, our findings demonstrate that workplace bullying undermines psychological safety, resulting in increased depression rates among employees. As anticipated, supervisor compassion mitigated the adverse effect of workplace bullying, whereas co-worker compassion did not exhibit the same moderating effect. These results emphasize the importance of fostering a supportive and compassionate work environment led by supervisors to lessen the strain on employee well-being. Theoretical and practical implications, along with directions for future research, are discussed.
