This study analyzes the effect on depression of mutual relational aggression experienced by elderly residents at charity nursing home. It also verifies the mediated effect of adaption by the residents to the nursing home. For this end, the researchers conduct a survey for 182 elderly residents in 7 charity nursing homes in Seoul and Kyonggi Province. The statistical methods for the analysis were SPSS version 18.0 and AMOS 7.0program. Following are the findings. First, there turns out to be no statistical significant effect between mutual relational aggression and depression. Second, elderly residents' adaption to the nursing home is proved to serve as a mediated effect between mutual relational aggression and depression. In other words, the more the relational aggression, the more difficult it is for residents to be adapted to the nursing home, and the more depressed the residents are prone to be. Following are suggestions based on the findings. First, nursing home staffs need to establish a system in consideration both of relational aggression and of resident's adaption, to reduce its elderly residents' consequential depression. Second, nursing home staffs need to take measures to help adaption of new residents to prevent or reduce their depression. For example, new residents can be allowed to bring their belongings to the nursing home as much as they want and the nursing home can stand. Third, nursing homes also need to develop programs to prevent or reduce any negative relation, including bullying or casting out, among peer residents in the nursing home.

The onset dates of institutionalization of 1,230 participants were ascertained from long-term care insurance claim data. This study calculated hazard ratio through Cox Proportional Hazard Model. The results showed that if elderly using home care services suffer a fracture, the hazard ratio of institutionalization is higher significantly. Although not significant, if older persons have more items of damaged cognitive functions, the hazard ratio of institutionalization is higher.

범죄형태에 관한 연구를 하기 위하여 재소자들에 관한 자료를 이용하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 이들 자료를 범죄자 전체의 모집단을 대표하는 표본이 될 수 없으므로 추정치에 편기가 존재하여 그대로 사용할수 없다. 단순 교대재생과정에 기초를 두고 재소자들의 특성을 고려하여 모형을 세우면, 편기가 제거된 범죄횟수, 재소기간등에 관한 추정치를 얻을 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experience of adult Korean children who are caregivers for parents institutionalized with dementia. Methods: Participants were fourteen adult children caregivers of elders institutionalized with dementia. Data were collected through in-depth unstructured interviews with individual participants from August to November, 2012. Theoretical sampling was used to the point of theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory Method. Results: From open coding, 67 concepts, 29 sub-categories, and 14 categories were identified. Analysis revealed that the core category of the experience of adult children caring for their parents institutionalized with dementia was 'enduring the role of a prop' consisting of four phases: initial turmoil, exploration, role adjustment, and acclimation. To manage the role of a prop, participants utilized various action/interactional strategies such as overcoming the unfamiliarity, overseeing the nursing home care, and counterbalancing the caring roles. As a result, participants experienced ambivalence towards the existence of parents with dementia, changes in family relationships, altered viewpoint towards nursing homes, and restructuring of life. Conclusion: In-depth understanding of the experience will guide nurses to promote effective interventions in order to better support the Korean family caregivers of parents institutionalized with dementia.

본 연구는 성인 남성들의 비만도에 영향을 주는 요인을 사회 경제적, 건강관련 행동적 측면에서 규명하기 위하여 일개광역시 A부대에 2009년 4월과 5월에 입소한 장병 4,923명을 대상으로 건강관련 행태관련 설문조사를 한 후 비만도를 산출하고 비만과 관련 요인을 분석하였다. 입대전 가구의 월평균 소득이 비만과의 관련성에서 긍정적 효과를 주는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 아직까지 경제적 수준에 따른 비만의 유병률에 대한 일관성 있는 결과가 도출되고 있지 못한 실정으로 연령, 유전, 직업, 교육수준, 소득 등의 지표들을 사용한 비만과의 관련성에 대한 구체적인 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
