Objectives : To assess the distribution of social support, and explore its effects on self-rated health status in a low income neighborhood of Seoul, Korea. Methods : In September 2001 we conducted a survey in a low income neighborhood of Seoul, Korea, in which 862 residents, aged 18 years or over, participated. We measured the general sociodemographic characteristics, self-rated health status and social support with the instrument developed from Korean translation of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support survey (MOS-SSS) scale of the US. Logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of social support, and explore its effects on self-rated health status. Results : Lower social class, women or divorced people had much less social support compared to higher social class, men or those never married, respectively. Those families on much lower income also received less social support. Social support has a positive impact on the self-rated health status, which remains statistically significant even when other relevant variables are adjusted. Conclusions : This study suggests that social support has an important role in health, and the socially disadvantaged have lower social support. Therefore, to improve the health status of the poor, it is necessary to encourage community participation, and develop strategies that could strengthen their provision of social support.

본 연구는 소년사법처리과정에 있는 청소년들이 인지한 사회적 지지와 비행교정성이 어떤 관계에 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 구체적인 연구문제로는 청소년의 사회적 지지유형별 지지수준에 따라 교정성에 어떤 차이가 있는지 하는 점과 사회적 지지제공자별 지지유형이 교정성을 어느 정도 설명하는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 대한 측정은 기존의 척도를 본 연구에 맞게 수정, 보완한 소년사법처리과정 청소년의 사회적 지지척도와 교정성 척도를 가지고 One way ANOVA, 다중회귀분석을 행하였는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사회적 지지유형에 따른 사법처리과정에서의 교정성 차이를 알아본 결과 정보적 지지는 자기반성에 있어서 유의미한 차이를 보였고 자존감 지지는 자아존중감, 법의식, 자기반성에 있어 유의미한 자이를 보였으며 정서적 지지는 자아존중감에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 사회적 지지제공자별 지지유형이 교정성 관련변인을 어느 정도 설명하는지를 조사한 결과 자아존중감, 법의식, 자기반성에서 유의한 결과가 나타났다. 즉 자아존중감은 친구의 자조적 지지와 지역사회의 정서적 지지와 관련이 높았고 법의식은 교사의 정보적 지지와 지역사회의 자존적 지지와 관련이 높았으며 자기반성은 친척의 자존적 지지와 정서적 지지와 관련이 높게 나왔다.

Objective: This study examined the effects of social support and resilience on life satisfaction of child care teachers. Methods: This study was conducted by sampling 162 child care teachers who participated in job training courses in the Gyeongsangbuk-do region. Three kinds of variables, which included social support, resilience, and life satisfaction were measured. The collected data were analyzed using PASW 18.0 program for windows. Results: First, social support, resilience, and life satisfaction of the child care teachers were generally above normal. The resilience subscale showed the highest score in 'affirmative', followed by 'interpersonal ability', 'self-control ability'. And the 'support of colleagues' was higher than 'support of superior' in the social support's subscale. Next, there were no significant differences in social support by child care teachers' background, but there were significant differences in resilience and life satisfaction of child care teachers' according to their working center types and academic levels. Second, life satisfaction was positively correlated with social support, and resilience. The 'affirmative', 'support of superior' variables were factors that predicted life satisfaction. Conclusion/Implications: We suggested ways to increase the life satisfaction of child care teachers through the 'affirmative' and 'support of superior' variables.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting uncertainty and general well-being based on Uncertainty in Illness Theory. Methods: Data were collected from 125 outpatients who had received hemodialysis. The path model among four concepts, such as period of hemodialysis, social support, uncertainty, and general well-being, was tested. Tangible support, positive social interaction, affectionate, and emotional/informational support were measured as social support. Adaptation in the model was operationalized as general well-being which consisted of anxiety, depression, positive well-being, self-control, and general health. Results: All paths were statistically significant at the level of ${\alpha}$=.05. The significant paths were the path from period of hemodialysis to uncertainty (t=-2.86), social support to uncertainty (t=-2.01), uncertainty to general wellbeing (t=-2.85), and social support to general well-being (t=3.55). Conclusion: Patients who perceived low uncertainty and high social support were likely to feel well-being. Therefore, nurses should give patients appropriate information according to their needs and have meaningful interaction with patients to reduce their uncertainty and render social support.

본 연구는 서울과 춘천에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인 1,409명을 대상으로 노인과 자녀가 주고받은 사회적 지지가 노인의 건강상태가 우울에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 효과가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 노인의 건강상태가 나쁘고, 사회적 지지가 낮을수록 우울정도가 높았으며, 노인의 건강상태가 우울에 미치는 영향에 대해 사회적 지지가 부분적인 매개효과를 지니며, 이러한 효과는 성별로 다르게 나타났다. 남성노인의 경우, 자녀에게 제공받은 도구적 지지와 자녀에게 제공한 정서적 지지와 도구적 지지가 건강상태가 우울에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 나타났으며, 여성노인의 경우에는 자녀로부터 받은 모든 사회적 지지(정서적, 도구적, 재정적 지지)와 자녀에게 제공한 도구적 및 재정적 지지가 매개효과를 지니는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 사회복지실천 현장에서의 적용과 향후 연구를 위한 제안을 제시하였다.

This purposes of study are to examine the effect of family related stress and social support on the ways of coping of adolescents and provide a ground necessary to improve it. A survey was conducted on 756 adolescents who were living in Naju. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis. This study utilized two different models, direct effect model and buffering effect of social support in order to examine the effects of social support on the ways of coping of adolescents. Research findings suggest that the level of coping appeared to be low in general among adolescents. The finding of direct effect model of social support was that mother's support, father's support, sibling's support, lather's grade, mother's grade, and economic level effected the ways of coping of adolescents. But it was not empirically supported that the social support buffered the family related stress on the ways of coping. In other words, the effects of family related stress factor didn't decrease with the increase in the level of social support, however the level of coping increased at a mercy of the age and economic level. Finally, this paper attempted to provide some alternatives to effectively improve the ways of coping among adolescents based on empirical findings.
