본 연구의 목적은 노인대상 자원봉사활동 프로그램이 대학생의 노인 및 노인복지에 대한 인식에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것에 있다. 조사대상은 사회복지관련 학과 대학생 72명이다. 이 중 자원봉사 프로그램에 참여한 학생 34명을 실험집단, 참가하지 않은 학생 38명을 통제집단으로 선정하였다. 실험집단은 사회복지사로부터 노인대상 재가복지 서비스 자원봉사활동에 관한 기본적인 교육을 받았으며, 일주일에 한 번씩 4개월 간 대상자 노인의 집을 방문하여 말벗해드리기, 건강 체크 등의 재가복지 서비스를 제공하였다. 설문조사는 두 집단 모두 자원봉사 프로그램 시작 전과 프로그램이 끝난 후 두 차례에 걸쳐 실시되었다. 설문조사 내용에는 노인에 대한 태도를 알아보는 척도와, 노인에 대한 공경심, 노인복지에 대한 지식 및 관심도를 알아보기 위한 4점 리커트 척도가 포함되었다. 사전조사결과 실험집단이 통제집단 보다 노인복지에 대한 관심도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 노인에 대한 태도, 노인에 대한 공경심, 노인복지에 대한 지식 측면에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 사후조사결과 통제집단은 사전조사결과와 유의미한 차이가 없었으나, 실험집단의 경우 프로그램에 참여한 이후 노인에 대한 태도가 보다 긍정적으로 변화하였으며, 노인에 대한 공경심도 보다 높아진 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 노인대상 자원봉사 활동이 학생들의 노인에 대한 의식을 보다 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

A person's residence is the primary environment which affects physical and emotional-gratification. Residential environments are very important to a person's quality of life. Because the age of society has rapidly increased, we must take a profound interest in the welfare and residences of the aged. While the government has begun to prepare for an aging society, the residential environments of the aged has not been fully considered. Because the welfare of the aged begins in the house, the term 'residence for the aged' is not limited to the physical space. Because residences for the old aged are included in various social policies such as family relations, social security, health care, safety etc, relevant policies for these residences must be prepared as rapidly as possible. This study-focused on both the importance of residences for the aged and the residential desires of the aged, and aims to propose planning criteria for the residences of the aged.

In research on housing welfare policy, there has been little interest in middle-aged households compared with young or elderly households. The purpose of this study was to explore influences on the housing satisfaction of middle-aged renter households using microdata from the Korea Housing Survey 2021. A statistical analysis of data was performed on a total of 2,709,152 middle-aged (aged between 40 and 64 years) Jeonse (lumpsum housing lease) renters and monthly renters with deposits, living in private rental housing units. The major findings were as follows. Firstly, there were significant differences in housing unit satisfaction and residential environment satisfaction among renter groups by age and rental type. Early-middle-aged Jeonse renters displayed the highest satisfaction with both housing units and the residential environment, while semielderly monthly renters with deposits displayed the lowest satisfaction. Secondly, living in aged structures or in apartment units exerted the strongest influences on housing satisfaction, which implies the need for residential area regeneration programs that consider the situation of rental households. Thirdly, living in Incheon and Gyeonggi-do was found to have a negative influence on housing satisfaction. Fourthly, upward filtering on tenure types or lease renewal of the current house did not necessarily have a positive influence on the housing satisfaction of middle-aged renters. Based on the findings, suggestions were made to improve the housing situation of middle-aged renter households.

본 연구에서는 중년기 남성(40세 이상부터 60세 미만)을 대상으로 하여, 그들의 일탈행동문제를 예방하고 개입하기 위한 실천적 방안을 모색하기 위해, 영성지향도, 사회적 지지, 자아존중감이 일탈행동에 미치는 경로를 구조방정식 모형을 통해 파악하였다. 결과를 정리하면, 첫째, 영성지향도와 일탈행동의 관계에서, 영성지향도는 일탈행동에 직접적으로 영향을 미치면서, 또한 자아존중감을 통해서도 간접적으로 영향을 미친다는 잠정적 결론을 내릴 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 지지는 일탈행동에 대하여 직접 영향을 미친다는 단정은 내릴 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그런데 자아존중감을 매개로 간접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 중년기 남성의 일탈행동 문제에 관심을 갖게 되는 계기를 마련하였다는 것이 본 연구의 의의라 할 수 있다. 특히, 본 연구는 그동안 사회복지학 영역에서 크게 관심을 두지 않았던 영성지향도에 대한 관심을 일깨워 주었다고 볼 수 있고, 청소년 일탈행동 관련 변수로 알려졌던 사회적 지지, 자아존중감이 중년기 남성의 일탈행동 관련 변수로도 작용할 수 있다는 점을 시사해 주었다.
