As Korean society of today is rapidly changing, the value system which has been traditionally accepted in the family ought to undergo inevitable changes. This paper aims at investigating and analyzing the prevalent value system of the family and the degree to which it is changing in the middle-class families in Seoul. Particular attention has been paid in this paper to the relationship between a married women and her mother-in-law. The conclusion at which this paper has arrived are as follows : (1) more than the half of both married women and their mothers-in-law of the middle class in Seoul feel satisfaction for the family life ; yet the rest who have responded in terms of "average" seem in fact to feel unsatisfactory in their marriage, even though they do not specifically regard themselves "unhappy" ; (2) generally, married women, including their mothers-in-law, prefer the independent, autonomous household management ; (3) both married women and their mothers-in-law wish to live independently but the former prefer the living-together with their mothers-in-law ; (4) married women plan to support economically the parents-in-law more than the latter want to be supported ; (5) the relationship between the parents-in-law and the married women is regarded as "good" by 62% of the former while the latter in 41% only see it in "good" terms, which indicates actually their unhappy psychological state ; (6) married women in general dislike their husband's sisters in comparison with their mothers-in-law, which seems to betray the commonly accepted view that married women go worst off with their mothers-in-law ; (7) the absolute majority of women, whether a parent and her son's wife, believe that the maintenance of a good relationship between families is essential to the happiness of marriage ; (8) surprisingly, a great majority of married women whichever their side may be think that no interference with their children's home is better ; (9) more than a half of mothers-in-law expect their son's wife to live distance from her own parents ; (10) married women believe that the good cause for a better marriage lies in mutual understanding and help exchangeable between them and their mothers-in-law. This investigation has shown, to be sure, some of the salient problems in family relations which will certainly encourage further attempts to study.

There is a need to develop diverse cultivation species with reference to the favorites and farming experiences of allotment garden participants, in addition to the crops being cultivated in the gardens. In this study, therefore, a survey on the status of cultivation and the demand for herb crops for the garden participants was conducted. Current trend of the programmes related to allotment garden for city dwellers, executed by various relevant organizations was analyzed. A questionnaire was accomplished by adult participants experiencing farming in allotments. Likewise, interview with farm proprietors was conducted. The results showed that the number of crop species cultivated in allotments was about ten species. The purchase of seeds and nursery plants was mainly dependent on the farmland proprietors. The selection of the crops was made by both wife and husband. The status of herb utilization indicated that 5.7% of participants were cultivating or had cultivated herb plants. Sixty-two percent of participants were not cultivating herb plants because they did not know how. The purposes of using herbs were for medicine and beauty (22.0%), for spices (22.0%) and for enjoyment (29.0%). Thirty-four percent (34.0%) of participants were interested or would like to use the herbs in the future for medicine and beauty, 39.0% for spices and 31.7% for enjoyment. It is expected that the demand for herbs would increase. Also, 78.3% of participants had the intension or had taken into consideration to cultivate the herb plants, if the farmland proprietors would provide the plants. And, they had interest in planting, management and post harvest utilization and if a reference material would be provided as well. An approach to plant new crops might be possible to those who have more than four years of farming experience and possess relatively high level of cultivation techniques. In conclusion, the favorable crop cultivation strategy corresponding to the participants' abilities; and rental process were essential for the sustainable operation of allotment gardens and expanded number of participants. Moreover, there is a need to pay attention to the city dwellers who have a lot of farming experiences in allotment gardens to maintain agriculture and rural community. This is so, because they are interested in agriculture and rural community and most of them replied that they had intentions to move to rural areas in the future.

Background: The use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) among women is increasing in India, especially among those with limited education and resources. Preventing the initiation of SLT among women is critical since it has known negative consequences for oral and reproductive health. Most research on tobacco initiation in India focuses on adolescents. This paper addresses the unrecognized issues of post marital initiation among women of reproductive age, highlighting the importance of reproductive stages in women's tobacco initiation. The objective is to examine the correlates of SLT initiation among low income women in Mumbai from pre-marriage through early marriage, first pregnancy and beyond, using case examples to illustrate initiation during each of these stages. Materials and Methods: In 2011-2012, cross-sectional community level survey data were collected from a representative sample of 409 daily SLT-using married women aged 18-40 years in a low income community in Mumbai. Information on socio-demographics, initiation by reproductive stage, types of tobacco use, childhood exposure to tobacco, learning to use, and initiation influences and reasons were collected through a researcher-administered survey. Univariate and bivariate analysis assessed factors influencing initiation of SLT use by reproductive stage. In addition 42 narratives of tobacco use were collected from a purposive sample of pregnant and non-pregnant married women addressing the same questions in detail. Narratives were transcribed, translated, and coded for key concepts including initiation of tobacco use. Results: Thirty-two percent of women initiated SLT use before marriage, 44% initiated after marriage but before pregnancy, 18.1% initiated during their first pregnancy and the remainder started after their first pregnancy. Mean age of marriage among women in this study was 16 years. Younger women (i.e. age at time of the interview of less than 30 years) were 0.47 [95% CI (0.32, 0.87)] percent less likely to initiate after marriage than women aged more than 30 years. Women who got married before 18 years of age were 2.34 [95% CI (1.40, 3.93)] times more likely to initiate after marriage than their counterparts. Childhood exposure was a predictor for initiating SLT use prior to marriage but not after. Women reporting tooth and gum pain were 1.85 times more likely to initiate after marriage than their counterparts. Husband and neighbours were the most significant influences on post-marital initiation. Narratives highlighted differences in processes of initiation pre and post marriage and during pregnancy. Conclusions: Most tobacco prevention interventions are directed to adolescents in school. This study suggests that especially for low literate or illiterate women, school based interventions are ineffective. To be effective strategies to prevent SLT initiation must reach women in urban areas at or immediately after marriage and during their first pregnancy. Messages must negate culturally rooted beliefs about the health benefits of SLT in order to prevent initiation and onset of daily use.

In order to find the factors associated with the death of hypertensives, 12 year follow-up study for 267 hypertensives whose average blood pressure were 140/90 mmHg or above during their first health screening in 1979-1980 at YongJin Township, Wanju Country, North Cholla Province by the Community Health Team of Chonju Presbyterian Medical Center. The study results are as follows : 1. Initial general characteristics of hypertensives were studied. The age distribution of studied hypertensives showed 27.3% in 40-49 years, 25.8% in 50-59 years, 29.6% in 60-69 years and 17.2% In 70 + years old group. Marital status showed that 82.8% of hypertensives had their wife or husband. 74. 5% were employed on agriculture. 56.5% of hypertensives were illiterate. 2. Among the hypertensives, 91.6% of male and 22.8% of female reported that they were smokers. 82.6% of hypertensives had body mass index lower than 25 Kg/$m^2$. 46.8% of average systolic blood pressure were 160mmHg or above and 54.3% of average diastolic blood pressure were 95mmHg or above. 3. Twenty percent of hypertensives reported that they were treating hypertension at the beginning of follow up, while 68.5% reported that they were not treated. 28.1% reported that they were treating hypertension within 6 months before last follow-up. but 69.3% reported that they were not treated for hypertension within Ii months before last follow up. So 50.6% were classified as never treated group and 41.2% as treated group. 4. Average blood pressure for initial 3 years were calculated. The change of average systolic blood pressure was observed as $161.3{\pm}19.4mmHg$ at the first year, $145.6{\pm}28.0mmHg$ at the second year and $141.4{\pm}37.2mmHg$ at the third year. Average diastolic blood pressure were changed from $96.2{\pm}14.4mmHg$ at the first year to $90.6{\pm}18.6mmHg$ at the second year and $86.4{\pm}22.9mmHg$ at the third year. 5. By the follow-up of hypertensives, 54 hypertensives (46.2%) among 117 male hypertensives and 50 hypertensives (33.3%) among 150 female hypertensives died for 12 years. 42.6% of male death and 52.0% of female death were caused by cerebrovascular diseases. 6. Through univariate statistical test about the association between general characteristics or cardiovascular risk factors of hypertensives and mortality for 12 years, age variable among male and among female age, marital status, occupation. educational level. systolic blood pressure and treatment status were shown as significant variable to influence upon the mortality. 7. By multiple logistic regression analysis, among male age and systolic blood pressure were selected as significant variable to be associated with the total mortality for 12 years. Among female age, systolic blood pressure and treatment status were selected as statistically significant variable to be associated with the total mortality for 12 years.

인간의 삶을 반영하고 있는 사설시조에서는 애정과 관련된 재화(財貨)나 금전(金錢)이 등장하여 그 당대 사람들의 애정과 경제의 상관성을 보여주는 경우가 종종 있다. 주부란 한 가정을 이루며 살고 있는 가장의 아내로서 여성을 의미하는 말이라고 할 수 있다. 사설시조에 나타난 물질문제나 금전문제는 물질적 궁핍을 강요하는 사회와의 투쟁이 드러나지 않고 오락성이나 유흥성의 측면에서 재화나 금전의 과소비를 추구하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이때 나타난 사설시조의 성담론은 여성의 성적억압을 상상적으로 해소하기 위한 욕망의 투사체이거나 혹은 대리 만족으로 여성의 성적 욕망을 다루었다고 보아야 할 것이다. 조선후기 우리 사회의 풍류방이나 유흥의 산물로 흥행한 사설시조에 담겨있는 주부의 모습은 유교적 질서가 확고했던 조선시대에도 여성이 가정 내에서 그 역할이 점차 변해가고 있었으며 현대 사회의 주부들 못지 않게 자유롭고 발랄한 성담론을 구사하고 있었다. 사설시조에 나타난 금전을 매개로 한 주부들의 성담론이라는 주제는 현재 무너져 가는 가족관계와 천민자본주의 그리고 성(性) 산업의 노예가 되고 있는 21세기 현대인들에게 많은 시사점을 준다고 할 수 있다

1980년대말 남녀고용평등법의 제정으로 성차별적 고용관행에 대한 제도적 제재가 선언된다. 1980년대 후반까지 결혼퇴직제가 보편화되었었고 이러한 관행은 여성의 경력 단축과, 임금이나 업무배치에 부정적 영향을 미쳤다. 1980년대 후반부터 가속화된 여성 고용에 대한 사회제도적 변화가 고학력 여성의 노동시장참여에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 본 연구에서는 살피려고 한다. 구체적으로 젊은세대에서 교육효과는 어떻게 변화하였으며, 결혼이나 가족이라는 여건이 이들 세대에서는 취업과 관련하여 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 검토하려고 하였다. 이것을 위해 여성개발원의 2001년 취업실태조사 자료가 이용되었다. 노동시장참여와 관련하여 젊은세대에서 어떤 변화가 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서 알 수 있는 것은 교육효과의 변화이다. 이전 세대의 부정적 교육효과는 사라지거나 긍정적인 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물론 아직도 교육효과가 미약하게 나타나고 있지만, 이러한 변화는 주목할 만하다. 전반적으로 가족 여건이라는 것이 여성이 일하는 것을 어렵게 하고있다. 기혼여성의 경우 미혼여성과는 달리 여성 자신의 일에 대한 태도가 노동시장 참여에 영향을 미치지 않는다. 놀라운 것은 가족이라는 맥락에서는 일에 대한 여성자신의 의견은 중요하지 않지만, 남편의 의견은 중요하게 나타난다는 것이다. 이것을 통해서 아직도 젊은세대에서도 여성의 의견이 남편의 의견에 종속되고 있다는 것을 것을 알 수 있다. 34세 이하 젊은 세대 여성을 고려할 때, 가족이라는 맥락에서는 교육효과도 크게 약화되는 것을 알 수 있다. 펄은 세대에서도 대졸이상의 학력이라는 것이 결혼하지 않았을 때는 여성의 일과 관련하여 의미 있게 작용하지만, 가족이라는 맥락에 처하면, 별 의미가 얼다. 물론, 젊은 세대에서 교육과 관련된 긍정적인 변화가 엿보이기는 하지만, 과거 세대와 마찬가지로 여전히 결혼이나 가족의 여건은 여성취업에 부정적으로 영향을 미치고 있으며 고학력 여성의 경우 이것의 영향을 더 많이 받는다.

이 연구의 주된 목적은 국제결혼 부부 중에서 이혼한 부부의 사회인구학적 특징이 어떻게 변화하였는가를 살펴보고, 이들 부부의 연령과 교육 같은 사회인구학적 차이가 결혼 안정성에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 통계청이 발표한 1995년부터 2005년까지의 혼인 및 이혼신고자료를 사용하였다. 분석결과는 크게 세 가지로 나누어볼 수 있다. 첫째, 국제결혼 부부의 사회인구학적 특징과 차이는 외국 출신 배우자의 성별과 국적에 따라 다르다. 사회인구학적 특징과 차이는 남편이 외국 출신인가 아니면 부인이 외국 출신인가에 따라 달라질 뿐만 아니라, 외국 출신 배우자의 구체적인 출신 국가별로도 큰 차이를 보인다. 둘째, 사회인구학적 특징 중에서 연령과 학력의 상이성은 국제결혼의 결혼 안정성에 전반적으로 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 특히 연령 상이성이 교육 상이성보다 결혼 안정성에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 셋째, 외국 출신 배우자의 성별과 출신국가는 사회인구학적 차이와 결혼 안정성 사이의 관계에도 영향을 미친다. 외국 출신 남편과의 국제결혼에 비해 외국 출신 부인과의 국제 결혼의 경우에 연령과 학력의 상이성이 결혼 안정성에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 크다. 특히 필리핀, 몽골, 우즈베키스탄을 제외한 외국 출신 부인의 경우에는 남편과 부인의 교육수준이 동일한 경우 결혼 안정성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 외국 출신 남편의 경우에는 남편의 교육 수준이 부인보다 높을 경우 결혼 안정성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the lived experience of mothers of children with muscular dystrophy. The participants were 11 mothers recruited by snowball sampling, who agreed with the objectives of the research and could verbally communicate with the researcher and who lived with their sons who had muscular dystrophy. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews with participants in their own homes. Each interview took 50 to 120 minutes. All of the interviews were audiotaped and then transcribed. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's (1978) method of phenomenology. From the transcripts 109 significant sentences and phrases were selected and 13 clusters of themes were categorized from 67 significant statements. These results were integrated into the essential structure of the lived experience of mothers of children with muscular dystrophy. 1. Anxious and relying on chance due to indefinite diagnosis. 2. Only able to cry with shock because of son's fatal disease. 3. Seeing the future as dismal and feeling resentment that this disease in transmitted through the mother. 4. Feeling caught between a husband who is distancing himself from his family and the family which is disintegrating. 5. Feeling like a sinner for transmission of genetic disease(Feeling guilt for conceiving a son with a genetically transmitted fatal disease). 6. Empathizing with other suffers of muscular dystropy and their parents in their grief and helping to dissipate their heavy feelings. 7. Deciding to sacrifice self as a way of taking responsibility for giving birth to a handi-capped son. 8. Losing hope (feeling despair) as son's condition deteriorates in spite of all attempts to help him. 9. Wishing to die with son who becomes progressively immobile. 10. Accumulating Han*(한, 恨), because of rising Hwa(화, anger), and becoming sick both mentally and physically. 11. Seeing events as destiny and finding self-control through faith. 12. Finally, giving up sacrificing self for son and becoming concerned(involved) with other children in the family. 13. Feeling fear at son's impending death. This is the first research on the experience of Korean mothers of children with muscular dystrophy. In applying the phenomenology research method, this study not only helps health professionals understand the experience of these mothers in the Korean patriarchal social system, but the researcher, as a nurse, can share their agony and grief through identification of their inner world through in-depth personal interviews. The results obtained in this study will not only help in the development of family nursing practice for families with genetically transmitted diseases but also prepare basic data for family nursing practice in the Korean sociocultural context.
