Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the relationships between family function and successful aging of vulnerable elderly using the circumplex model. Methods: The participants were the elderly (N=401) who were over 65 years old living in H city under the National Livelihood Security Act. Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale III and Successful Aging Instrument were used. Results: The family function perceived by the study subjects was average $43.20{\pm}16.62$ out of maximum 100 points. According to the analysis on family types suggested by circumplex model, there were 183 people for balance family (45.6%) and 218 people (54.4%) for extreme family. The total points on successful aging were $1.67{\pm}0.37$ out of 3 points. When the difference in points on the Successful Aging instrument were analyzed according to the scores on the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale those points of the balanced family were statistically significant (t=2.087, p=.038). Conclusion: In case of the balanced family type, the level of perceiving successful aging was relatively higher. For the improvement of family function, it is advised that the successful aging perception among vulnerable elderly can be uplifted through a program that enables effective communication with other family members.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the baby boomers' perception of and preparation for their successful aging. Seven women and three men were interviewed with the use of an unstructured questionnaire. Their perceptions of their likelihood of future successful aging were not negative, and were influenced by a range of considerations that included health, leisure, finance, volunteer services, family relationships, and elderly life without children's supports. They tried to prepare several kinds of sports, leisure activities, and volunteer services for their elderly life. However, their reasons for preparing these activities varied, and the background of their differences consisted of the family background, personal values, and experiences. Moreover, men and women responded differently to their personal experiences as they related to their elderly life. Women were likely to match their family relationship with their perception and preparation for successful aging, and men were not.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the relationship of successful aging, depression, and family function in rural elders. Method: A descriptive correlation study design was used and data of the study were collected from 272 people who were overn 65 years of age and lived in a rural community. Result: The mean score for successful aging was $2.28{\pm}0.46$ points of a maximum 3 points. The elders showed a moderate degree of family function ($6.98{\pm}2.83$ points out of 10 points). The mean score for depression was $6.13{\pm}3.75$ points out of 15 points. There was a statistically significant correlation between successful aging and both depression (r=-.659, p<.001) and family function (r=.621, p<.001). Stepwise regression analysis was done to verify factors influencing successful aging. Depression was the dominant factor accounting for 43.2% of the total variance, followed by family function and age in that order. Inclusion of all of the study values resulted in an explanation power of 61.7%. Conclusion: The study results suggest that the provision of individual socio-psychological, and economic measures is important to promote successful aging in rural areas which are different in terms of socio-cultural as well as regional factors compared to urban areas.

본 연구의 목적은 심리사회적노화가 연령통합인식에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이에 대한 가족주의 및 가족결속의 조절효과를 확인하는 것이다. 이를 통해 연령통합을 위한 가족 차원의 실천적 정책적 개입 근거의 기초자료를 마련했다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 자료는 한국연구재단의 지원을 받아 진행된 "2014년 고령화 사회에 대한 인식조사"이며, 40세부터 90세까지 702명의 자료를 활용하여 분석하였다. 결과분석은 STATA13.1 통계프로그램을 활용하여, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 심리사회적 노화인식이 낮을수록 연령통합인식이 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 가족주의와 가족결속은 연령통합인식에는 통계적으로 유의하게 영향을 주지 않았지만, 심리사회적 노화와 상호작용하여 연령통합인식을 상승시키는 조절효과가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 즉, 심리사회적 노화가 부정적이며, 연령통합인식을 감소시킬 때, 가족중심적인 사고와 실제적인 가족 간 교류와 결속은 연령통합인식을 상승시키는 순수조절효과를 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통해 심리사회적 노화가 부정적인 시점에서 가족중심의 가치와 가족 간 교류와 결속을 강화하는 것이 연령통합인식에 긍정적으로 기여할 수 있다는 시사점을 제공하였다.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between ego resilience, family resilience, and the perception of successful aging in nursing students; additionally, specific factors relating to the perception of successful aging were identified. Methods: The participants comprised 154 nursing students. Data were collected through the administration of self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was then performed utilizing a t-test, an ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression analysis. Results: Family resilience differed significantly based on the type of residence (p=.020) (i.e., living with grandparents (p=.048)). Perception of successful aging differed significantly based on grade (p<.001). The perception of successful aging showed a positive correlation relative to mode of communication and organizational pattern. The mode of communication accounted for 4.7% of perception of successful aging. Conclusion: The significance of the study on the importance of mode of communication was confirmed by identifying the effects of the perception of successful aging. Nursing students may actively cope with crises through communication; thus, successfully recognizing aging in order to lead a healthy life. Furthermore, having a high perception of successful aging while treating an increasing number of elderly patients at the clinical practice is believed to have a positive effect on patient care.

본 연구의 목적은 소설 「고령화 가족」에 나타난 가족의 의미를 이해하는 것이다. 이에, 소설 속 주인공 인모가 가족의 의미를 어떻게 인식하고 있는지, 질적 연구 방법에 따라 접근하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 그의 가족은 혈연과 비혈연 관계가 복잡하게 얽힌, 이른바 '정상가족'과는 거리가 먼 형태로 구성되어 있었고, 이에 대해 인모가 인식한 가족의 의미는 "자부심도 애정도 가질 수 없는 존재"에서 "인간적인 정리"와 "피보다 진한 의리"가 존재하는 가족으로 변화되고 있었다. 이에, 이러한 연구결과에 기초하여 가족사회복지실천에 시사하는 함의를 논의하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate expectations regarding aging by middle-aged women in the community, and identify factors contributing to their expectations about aging. Methods: Participants in the survey for this study were 303 middle-aged women from community health centers and religious facilities in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and Chungcheongbuk Province. Data were collected from March 2 to April 17, 2012 using self-report structured questionnaires. The instruments were the Health Perceptions, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), Family APGAR, Expectations Regarding Aging (ERA-12). The data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficients and hierarchical multiple regression with IBM SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. Results: Perceived health status (${\beta}$=0.16, p=.009) and self-esteem (${\beta}$=0.20, p=.001) of middle-aged women were identified as significant predictors of expectations regarding aging, after adjusting for age, education, occupation, monthly income and menstrual status. Conclusion: These results suggest that nurses should make an effort to improve expectations about aging among middle-aged women. Ultimately, community health programs for middle aged women need to be developed to achieve successful aging.

Modern society has become an aging society, and the National Statistics Office(NSO) expects that Korea will be also an aging society by 2019, that is, people over the age of 65 will account for 14 percent from the total population. In addition, the increase of labor flexibility is also one of the dramatic features in modern society. However, this social shift have unpredictable results, that is, the advent and increase of grandparent and grandchildren family. Modern medical technology has given Koreans longer expectancies, and structural and economic changes in society have brought early retirement. One of the main reasons that grandparent and grandchildren family increase is below an average of two children per family. There are various services available such as Health support center, Dream start center, Youth support center, Community child center, and Community welfare center.
