Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the awareness, knowledge, and behavior about food hygiene·safety among the elderly, and to provide basic data on this for their healthy dietary life. Methods: The study was conducted through a survey using a self-administered questionnaire on 473 elderly people over 60 years old living in Seoul and Gyeonggido. The questionnaire was designed to examine general characteristics, meal preparation status, the relation between awareness, knowledge, food hygiene behavior, and safety. Results: Among the particpants, 44.2% of the total people surveyed were elderly married couples, and 14.0% were single-person households. For men, most of the meals were prepared by the spouse (74.1%), and among women, 93.8% prepared their meals themselves (P < 0.001). 61.3% of the total subjects answered that they were very interested in food hygiene and safety. Men (32.4%) thought it was more difficult to collect food hygiene·safety information compared to women (14.0%, P < 0.001). The knowledge score about food hygiene·safety was 0.60 (P < 0.05) and the behavior score was 3.70 (P < 0.001). The correlation coefficient between knowledge and behavior according to food hygiene·safety was 0.371 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The food hygiene·safety behavior of the elderly was associated with knowledge (P < 0.001).

This study examined the intergenerational transmission of family violence. The main focus of this study was on the effect of an experience of childhood violence and the witnessing of interparental violence on the future spouse and child violence. Two hundred and forty-two married couples and 50 married couples with indicted husbands and their wives were surveyed. The results showed that Husbands who had experienced childhood violence from their father and witnessed their father's violence towards their mother tended to inflict more physical violence on their wives than those who did not experience such events. Wives who witnessed violence between both parents' tended to receive more physical violence from their husbands than those who did not witness such events. In addition, wives who did not experience childhood violence but at the same time witnessed interparental violence tended to receive more physical violence from their husbands than those who did not witness such events. Husbands who experienced childhood violence from their mother and both parents and husbands who witnessed their father's violence toward their mother tended to be more violent towards their children than those who did not experience such events. Wives who experienced childhood violence from their mother and father and wives who witnessed violence between both parents tended to be more violent towards their children than those who did not experience such events. These results partially support that the transmission of family violence across generations and show the differential effects of gender and the violent parent's gender on family violence.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand and describe the caring experiences of spouses of elderly people with dementia. Methods: The hermeneutic phenomenological method was used and participants were 12 spouses aged 65 and over who were taking care of their husbands or wives with dementia at home. Data were collected from individual in-depth interviews on participants' actual caring experiences. Additionally, novels, movies, and memoirs on elderly couples with partner who had dementia were included as data for the analysis. The qualitative data analysis software program was used to manage and process the collected qualitative data. Data were analyzed using hermeneutic phenomenological analysis based on four fundamental existentials including lived body, lived space, lived time, and lived others. Results: Five essential themes emerged from the analysis: 1) body moving like an old machine, 2) swamp of despair filling with hope, 3) sweet time after bitterness, 4) disappointed elderly couple in the empty nest, and 5) unappreciation vs. empathetic feelings. These essential themes were comprehensively summarized as "the road leading to the maturation of life with dedication and hope while bearing the weight of caring based on the couple's relationship." Conclusion: The findings indicate that the nature of the caring experience of spouses of elderly individuals with dementia is filled with many dynamic and paradoxical dimensions. Thus, results of the study would help with developing interventions tailored specifically for elderly spouse caregivers to support their role adaptation and ultimately improving their quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to develop a self-report scale measuring dysfunctional communication behaviors that Korean husbands and wives may use during marital fights. Based on the four concepts of criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling proposed by Gottman(1994a), an initial pool of 38 items was developed. Through expert reviews of the 38 items to assess content validity, preliminary 30 items were selected. Using a sample of 89 married couples who were living in Susan, Korea, we conducted item analyses and exploratory factor analyses with the 30 items. These analyses yielded a final 19-item, four-factor scale : criticism(5 items), contempt(5 items), defensiveness(5 items), and stonewalling(4 items). The internal consistency estimates for these subscales were satisfactory. Finally, using another sample of 228 wives, we conducted confirmatory factor analysis to confirm cross validity of the 19-item, four-factor model. The result indicated that this model fitted the data reasonably well. All standardized factor loadings were significant in this model. The results of this study supported reliability and validity of this scale.

본 연구는 노인들의 여러 번의 사별 경험이 우울증에 미치는 영향을 탐구한다. Changing Lives of Older Couples 종단 데이터를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 여러 번의 사별을 경험한 노인들이 한 번의 사별을 경험한 노인들에 비해 우울증상 점수가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 사회적 지지 수준은 사별 경험이 우울증상에 미치는 영향을 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 여러 번의 사별을 경험한 노인들 중 사회적 지지 수준이 낮은 노인들의 우울증상이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 여러 번의 사별을 경험한 노인들을 대상으로 한 프로그램과 사회적 지지의 필요성을 논의하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 재혼한 노인들이 겪는 경험의 세계를 사고방식 및 생활양식 속에 내재되어 있는 의미뿐만 아니라 사회 문화적 맥락에서 이해하기 위해서이다. 연구대상자는 자신의 경험을 충분히 표현할 수 있는 65세 이후 재혼한 부부 3쌍을 임의표집 하였다. Strauss와 Corbin(1998)의 근거이론방법을 적용한 질적 연구이며, 참여자 진술로부터 86개의 의미 있는 문장을 도출하고 30개의 주제로 구분하여 13개로 범주화하였다. 연구결과 중심현상은 '결혼생활에 대한 양가감정'이었으며, 이를 조율해 나가는 중재조건은 '배우자와 가족들의 인정과 신뢰', '적절한 보상'이었으며 이를 대처하도록 고안된 작용/상호작용전략은 '배우자를 이해하려고 노력하기'로 나타났다. 이상의 결과들은 재혼 노인의 결혼생활 적응과정에 대한 본질을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이며, 이를 통해 성공적인 재혼생활을 영위하고 홀로된 노인들이 당면하고 있는 현실적인 문제에 접근할 수 있는 기초자료가 되기를 기대한다.

The characteristics of rural elderly living alone: They have lived in rural area since their marriage which is over 40 years long in average, The tend to be satisfied with living apart themselves. The majority of the families are the first son in their family. In home management regard: First, in family relationship, the way the elderly in their nuclear family state communicate with their spouse is limited, and they hardly speaks together. So it is encouraged for couples to forge their own specific relationship and to plan for their odd age in their younger age. Also, they tend to be satisfied with living separated from their children, but at the same time, the closer they live in distance from their children, the more often they meet their children as well as they talk on the phone. They especially depend on their first son for offerings for ancestors and matters to occur after their death, while they get emotional support from daughters. Second, in family finance, their income varies in range from 200,000 to 3,000,000 won. In the majority f the famines, the wives are in charge of finance. The cost of living is mainly spent on flood, clothing, and housing, or the cost of offerings for ancestors if they are the head family. Third, Meanwhile, the housewives under 70 years old are positive about household work and tend to consider it pleasant for their children and their husband. Generally, the older they are, the more they dislike household labor. For example, food preparation is especially considered a major problem. Community dinning rooms, food delivery service, volunteers, and home helper and neighborhood could be help.

본 연구는 노년기 부부의 남편과 아내가 경험하는 부부관계 만족과 우울이 시간에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지를 모형화하고, 부부관계 만족의 변화가 우울의 변화를 어떻게 설명하는지를 확인하였다. 분석에는 한국고용정보원에서 수집하는 고령화연구패널조사(KLoSA)의 1차(2006)부터 5차(2014)까지의 종단 짝 자료가 사용되었다. 본 연구는 남편과 아내의 상호의존성을 고려하여 '부부'를 분석 단위로 하는 통계모형을 적용하였다. 부부관계 만족과 우울의 변화 궤적에 대한 분석에는 이자성장모형(DGM)이 사용되었다. 이 변화 궤적들 사이의 상호의존적 관련성을 분석하기 위해서 이자성장 행위자-상대방 상호의존 모형(DG-APIM)을 제안하고 이를 적용하였다. 분석결과 조사 기간 동안의 부부관계 만족의 평균은 남편이 아내에 비해 더 높았지만 관계 만족의 감소율도 더 높았다. 또한 남편의 우울은 아내에 비해 평균적으로 더 낮았지만 시간에 따라 더 크게 증가하였다. 남편과 아내의 우울 평균 수준은 배우자의 부부관계 만족의 평균 수준에 의해 설명되는 상대방 효과를 보였으며, 우울의 변화율의 크기는 자신의 관계 만족의 변화율의 크기에 의해 설명되는 자기효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 남편과 아내의 부부관계만족도와 우울 사이에 종단적 상호의존성이 존재한다는 것과 우울의 결혼 불화 모형이 종단적 변화에서도 지지된다는 것을 보여준다.
