  • 2011년 말 부산에서 열린 OECD 세계원조총회(HLF-4)는 전세계 160개국의 장관급 및 유엔, 기업, 민간 재단, NGO 대표 등 2,000여명이 참석, 개발도상국의 사회복지 문제를 해결할 중요 재원중 하나인 ODA(공적개발원조)의 원조효과성을 재논의 하는 중요한 국제회의였다. 그러나 이같이 사회복지와 관련된 중요한 국제회의에 당시 국내 및 국외의 전문사회복지(social work)계 대표단체들은 거의 그 모습을 보이지 않았다. 왜 그 같은 현상이 발생했을까? 본 연구는 바로 이 같은 문제의식에서 전문사회복지계가 개도국 사회복지 문제해결에서 과거 어떤 국제적 리더쉽을 행사했고, 또 어떻게 그 리더쉽을 잃어갔는지의 역사적 과정과 그 이유를 살펴보았다. 또한 그 같은 경험을 바탕으로 이제 막 국제사회복지에 대해 관심을 갖기 시작한 한국 사회복지학계 및 현장이 향후 준비해야 할 과제들을 탐구해 보았다.

  • The article reviews the issue of formation of information culture of social work bachelors in the process of their professional training. The main internal / external factors that determine the need for the information culture formation of social workers-to-be have been identified. To determine the levels of information culture formed in bachelors of social work criteria and their indicators have been substantiated. The model of information culture formation in BSW has been developed and implemented in Ukrainian universities under the following pedagogic conditions: organized informational environment; interconnection between general and professionally-directed courses; curriculum includes course directed on IC formation. The model contained interconnected components: aim - to achieve higher level of information culture formed; specific principles; content, interactive methods and forms of organization of educational process, methods of control and correction; components of information culture. The implemented mastered learning procedure has contributed to the leveling up of information culture formed in social work bachelors.

  • Background: Globally, cervical cancer is a major public health concern. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women, resulting in approximately 500,000 cases per year. The purpose of this study is to compare disease characteristics between Black Hispanic (BH) and Black non-Hispanic (BNH) women in the US. Materials and Methods: We used stratified random sampling to select cervical cancer patient records from the SEER database (1973-2009). We used Chi-square and independent samples t-test to examine differences in proportions and means. Results: The sample included 2,000 cervical cancer cases of Black non-Hispanic and 91 Black Hispanic women. There were statistically significant differences between black Hispanic and black non- Hispanics in mean age at diagnosis (p<0.001), mean survival time (p<0.001), marital status (p<0.001), primary site of cancer (p<0.001); lymph node involvement (p<0.001); grading and differentiation (p<0.0001); and tumor behavior (p<0.001). Black women were more likely to develop cervical cancer and to have the highest mortality rates from the disease. Conclusions: Findings from this study show clear racial and ethnic disparities in cervical cancer incidence and prognosis that should be addressed.

  • Background: The use of statistical methods has become an imperative tool in breast cancer survival data analysis. The purpose of this study was to develop the best statistical probability model using the Bayesian method to predict future survival times for the black non-Hispanic female breast cancer patients diagnosed during 1973-2009 in the U.S. Materials and Methods: We used a stratified random sample of black non-Hispanic female breast cancer patient data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional regression methods. Four advanced types of statistical models, Exponentiated Exponential (EE), Beta Generalized Exponential (BGE), Exponentiated Weibull (EW), and Beta Inverse Weibull (BIW) were utilized for data analysis. The statistical model building criteria, Akaike Information Criteria (AIC), Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC), and Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) were used to measure the goodness of fit tests. Furthermore, we used the Bayesian approach to obtain the predictive survival inferences from the best-fit data based on the exponentiated Weibull model. Results: We identified the highest number of black non-Hispanic female breast cancer patients in Michigan and the lowest in Hawaii. The mean (SD), of age at diagnosis (years) was 58.3 (14.43). The mean (SD), of survival time (months) for black non-Hispanic females was 66.8 (30.20). Non-Hispanic blacks had a significantly increased risk of death compared to Black Hispanics (Hazard ratio: 1.96, 95%CI: 1.51-2.54). Compared to other statistical probability models, we found that the exponentiated Weibull model better fits for the survival times. By making use of the Bayesian method predictive inferences for future survival times were obtained. Conclusions: These findings will be of great significance in determining appropriate treatment plans and health-care cost allocation. Furthermore, the same approach should contribute to build future predictive models for any health related diseases.

  • Background: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Differences in survival of breast cancer have been noted among racial and ethnic groups, but the reasons for these disparities remain unclear. This study presents the characteristics and the survival curve of two racial and ethnic groups and evaluates the effects of race on survival times by measuring the lifetime data-based half-normal model. Materials and Methods: The distributions among racial and ethnic groups are compared using female breast cancer patients from nine states in the country all taken from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry. The main end points observed are: age at diagnosis, survival time in months, and marital status. The right skewed half-normal statistical probability model is used to show the differences in the survival times between black Hispanic (BH) and black non-Hispanic (BNH) female breast cancer patients. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard ratio are used to estimate and compare the relative risk of death in two minority groups, BH and BNH. Results: A probability random sample method was used to select representative samples from BNH and BH female breast cancer patients, who were diagnosed during the years of 1973-2009 in the United States. The sample contained 1,000 BNH and 298 BH female breast cancer patients. The median age at diagnosis was 57.75 years among BNH and 54.11 years among BH. The results of the half-normal model showed that the survival times formed positive skewed models with higher variability in BNH compared with BH. The Kaplan-Meir estimate was used to plot the survival curves for cancer patients; this test was positively skewed. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard ratio for survival analysis showed that BNH had a significantly longer survival time as compared to BH which is consistent with the results of the half-normal model. Conclusions: The findings with the proposed model strategy will assist in the healthcare field to measure future outcomes for BH and BNH, given their past history and conditions. These findings may provide an enhanced and improved outlook for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer patients in the United States.

  • The study is to examine the mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the causal relationship between high-performance work system and organizational citizenship behavior. This study collected data from public organizations that are responsible for social welfare provision in Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-Do, and Pusan in South Korea. This study employs confirmatory factor analysis in Amos 21 to find the discriminant validity of all constructs and regression analysis by Baron and Kenny (1986) to test that psychological empowerment is a mediator of the causal relationship between high-performance work system and organizational citizenship behavior. As the result of the analysis, psychological empowerment has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between high-performance work system and organizational citizenship behavior. The study suggests to the managers in social welfare organizations how they need to enhance organizational citizenship behavior through psychological empowerment themselves.

  • 국제적으로 사회사업 분야의 연구와 논문 출간에 있어서 spirituality에 대한 관심이 증가하는 경향이 나타나고 있다. 그렇지만 북미와 유럽의 맥락을 넘어서 이러한 경향에 관해 소개하고 분석하는 논문이 쓰여진 바는 거의 없다. 이 논문은 이런 맥락에서 동아시아 국가의 하나인 대한민국에서의 사회사업 분야 연구 논문 출간의 실태에 대해 연구한다. 먼저, 한국에서 spirituality 및 종교와 사회사업간의 연관관계의 역사와 현황에 대해 간략하게 개관한다. 그 다음에, 현재의 실태를 보여주고 국제적 협동연구를 비롯한 더 진전된 작업을 위한 함의를 제공하기 위해 한국의 학술지에 발표된 논문들에 대해 내용분석을 한 결과들을 제시한다. 이 내용분석은 최근 수년간 이 분야의 연구가 성장해왔음에도 불구하고 이 분야에서의 경험적 연구가 상대적으로 거의 없음을 보여준다. 대부분의 경험적 연구들이 단순한 통계 방법에 기초하고 있고 체계적인 질적 연구가 결여되어 있다. 개념적 작업은 사회사업에 대한 종교적으로 특정화된 다양한 접근들을 위한 지침을 제공해줄 것이다. 다양한 종교적 혹은 비종교적인 spiritual 전망을 포함(포괄)하는 접근들은 이제 막 발전되기 시작하고 있다. 그렇지만 spirituality와 사회사업에 대한 학술적 연구가 유의미하게 증가할 잠재력이 있음을 보여주는 지표들이 존재한다. 국제적 협동 연구는 이를 촉진해줄 수 있을 것이다.
