This study had two purposes. One was to investigate the interrelations between the mothers' parenting stress and fathers' parental involvement, social support, and the mothers' psychological characteristics. The other was to prove that the fathers' parental involvement and social support have an effect on the mothers' parenting stress, and that these effects are mediated by the mothers' psychological characteristics. For this purpose, the data of 1,754 2-year-olds and their mothers from the 2010 Panel Study on Korean Children were analyzed using PASW ver. 21.0 and AMOS ver. 23.0 to carry out descriptive statistics, correlation co-efficiencies, and structural equation model, along with the Sobel test. The results showed that the mothers' parenting stress had significant, negative correlations with the fathers' parental involvement, social support, and mothers' positive psychological characteristics. The findings also proved that not only the fathers' parental involvement, but also social support, had significant effects on the mothers' parenting stress, and that the mothers' positive psychological characteristics mediated these relations.

Over the past few decades, the proportion of elderly people with depression in Korea has been rapidly increasing. The purpose of this study is to explore relative effects of health and family factors on geriatric depression. The data sources are from Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(2008). The Analysis sample consists of 4,040 cases. Analysis results show that there is a significant variability in geriatric depression according to sociodemographic characteristics, health characteristics, and family characteristics. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses are employed to assess the causal relationship between health characteristics and geriatric depression. Model II showed that ADL(exp(B)=1.732), having difficulties due to sight deterioration(exp(B)=1.398), having difficulties due to masticatory force deterioration(exp(B)=1.414), having difficulties due to pain(exp(B)=2.435), and subjective health status(exp(B)=2.010) are reported as predictors of geriatric depression. Namely, the probability of having geriatric depression of the above predictors has been 1.7 times, 1.4 times, 1.4 times, 2.4 times. 2.0 times higher than normal figures. Among health characteristics, pain is the most prevalent factor. Model III showed that as for family characteristics, coresiding with children(exp(B)=1.312) and frequency of contacting with children by phones, letters, or emails(exp(B)=1.477) are reported as predictors of geriatric depression. Key findings are that health factors have larger effects than family factors on geriatric depression.

본 연구의 목적은 생활체육참여자들의 인구통계학적 특성에 따른 리더십, 운동참여 동기, 운동만족의 차이를 규명하는데 있다. 이러한 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 서울 및 경기도 소재 스포츠센터에서 정기적으로 생활체육에 참여하고 있는 남녀 194명을 대상으로 리더십, 운동참여 동기, 운동만족 척도를 활용하여 자료를 수집 한 후 통계분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 생활체육 참여자들의 성별에 따라 리더십, 운동참여 동기, 운동만족에는 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(Willks' Lambda=.864, F=.886, p<.05). 둘째, 생활체육 참여자들의 연령에 따라 리더십, 운동참여 동기, 운동만족에는 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(Willks' Lambda=.706, F=.453, p<.01). 셋째, 생활체육 참여자들의 운동참여 횟수에 따라 리더십, 운동참여 동기, 운동만족에는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(Willks' Lambda=.915, F=.704, p<.01). 결론적으로 생활체육 현장에서 참여자들의 인구통계학적 특성에 따라 차별적인 지도를 하게 된다면 운동만족과 실천에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것이다.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between residential district of people, such as power plant, steel-mill and petrochemical industries, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods Using a cross-sectional study design, we randomly recruited participants for our study from industrial areas (thermoelectric power plant, steel-mill, petrochemical industry) and rural areas. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationships between Euro quality of life-5 dimension (EQ-5D) scores and living region, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Results In adjusted model, quality of life decreased with increasing category of age and were lower for females than males. EQ-5D scores of people living in the vicinity of thermoelectric power plant were significant lower than those of people living the vicinity of comparison region (odds ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.00 to 2.53). Conclusions Living region of thermoelectric power plant, was strongly associated with scores on the EQ-5D. More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms which makes the relationship with the living regions and HRQoL.

Methods: A total of 2,134 participants were selected from the 2014 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: The significant factors associated with life satisfaction in older adults living with others were education level (odds ratio [OR] 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.41~2.11), place of residence in medium-size city (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.25~1.97), place of residence in rural town(OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.19~1.95), depression (OR 2.99, 95% CI 2.43~3.68), frequency of contact with neighbors (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.10~1.76), and social participation (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.14~1.93). In contrast, factors associated with life satisfaction among older adults living alone were education level (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.15~3.24) and depression (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.48~4.19). Conclusion: These findings indicated that nursing interventions for improving life satisfaction among older adults should take into account their specific living arrangements.

With the coming demographic avalanche as the number of elderly aged 65 and older is expected to double in 20 years in South Korea, the concept of retirement living will be changed in a whole new way. The newest design principles as environmental affordance system for them need to be considered. This study started with the premise that 'Aging in Place' might be the most desirable alternative for the elderly and if so, they may be at greater challenge of living in the home, especially in kitchen. The purpose of this study is to analyze various universal design kitchen products according to five Universal Design criteria with physical or mental characteristics of aging. The five Universal Design principles are 'Supportiveness', 'Adaptability', 'Communicability', 'Pleasantness' and 'Accessibility', which were developed from the previous research. The profile and the trends of the universal design kitchen products were identified with the concrete design examples. The results will be expected to make contributions to developing universal design guidelines for kitchen products, to understanding the nature of universal design paradigm, and to establishing directions for sustainable living of the elderly.
