Objectives : This study was conducted to examine social factors associated with problematic drinking among middle- and older-aged men in South Korea. Methods : The data were collected from the baseline survey of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, and the sample consisted of 3,631 men between 45 and 64 years of age and 1,173 men aged 65 or older. This study employed variables identifying various socioeconomic features, social ties, and health-related factors. Logistic regressions were used for the data analysis. Results : Middle-aged men having frequent social relationship with close persons were significantly more likely to be problematic drinkers than those having less frequent social relationships with close persons. Lower education, unemployment, smoking, and depression were associated with problematic drinking only among middle-aged men. Conclusions : We suggest that health professionals develop specific intervention strategies that could lead to more moderate alcohol habits and better health in middle aged Korean men who are actively engaged in social networks. In addition, health professionals need to focus more on the unemployed, lower educated, depressed, and smoking groups for early detection of problematic drinking among middle-aged Korean men.

Korean society is experiencing rapid changes which are certain to shape the lives of the older people and their families. So, the purpose of this study was to improve the quality of the elderly welfare service in Korea. Even though the interest about the elderly welfare in Korea is rapidly on the increase, the reality of Korean Society still leaves much to be desired, quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Pay attent to this point, now going to grasp the situation of not the handicapped elder people but the general elder people actual life condition and demand for welfare. So this study focused on the demand of not out-of home service but in-home care service. It was based on the data from by Korea National Statistical Office, having observed 6,139 elderly people. The results were as follows. They hope to get the elderly welfare services about health examination service, nursing survice, supporting service for household. That was, the most of them wanted in-home care service than out-of home care service. To ensure effective care to the elderly, it needed development and settlement of welfare service in face of their daily living. And, even though they recognized that they should cover the elderly life expenses themselves, the rate was hit that indicated their adult children as a parents supporter. This means that we should consider not only to the elder people but also to the family which contained the old people as the elderly welfare service. As a remedy, we can find the cooperation between elder welfare service at the social welfare organization and counsel, education at the family strengthen center. To improve the quality of the elderly welfare service in Korea, the elderly welfare service should focus not only on the physical and spiritual health maintenance but also active understanding living environment and growing ability to arbitrate between individual and living.

본 연구는 복지제도의 확대는 찬성하지만 재원 확보를 위한 증세는 거부하는 '눔프'현상에 관한 것이다. 최근 복지제도의 개혁과정에서 이해관계의 충돌에 따른 갈등 발생의 핵심으로 부각되고 있는 계층, 젠더, 연령 집단을 중심으로, 주요 복지제도별 눔프현상의 규모와 요인을 분석하여, 복지제도에 내재한 불평등 구조와 눔프현상 사이의 관련성을 규명하고자 한다. 분석을 위해 한국복지패널의 부가조사인 복지인식 조사를 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 급여 대상이 특정 취약계층으로 제한되는 제도에 비해 전체 사회구성원의 복지향상에 기여할 수 있다고 판단되는 건강정책, 연금, 고용정책, 주거정책 등에서 낮은 눔프현상이 관찰되었다. 눔프현상의 규모와 발생 가능성은 '소득 1분위', '여성', '20대 이하'에서 높게 나타나, 복지제도에 내재한 불평등 기제와 눔프현상의 높은 관련성이 확인되었다. 보편적 복지로의 전환과 복지제도에 내재된 불평등 요인의 개선이 눔프현상의 완화와 복지확대를 가능하게 하는 대안임을 보여주는 결과이다.

본 연구는 만 60세 이상의 노인이 인지하는 노년기 부모-성인자녀간 지원유형을 살펴보고, 각 유형별로 나타나는 노인의 인구사회학적 특성과 삶의 질을 분석한 것이다. 분석에 활용된 자료는 2008년도 노인실태조사 원자료이며, 성인자녀가 있는 노인 14,843명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 군집분석을 통해 노년기 부모-성인자녀간 지원유형은 <높은 상호지원형>, <부모수혜형>, <부모제공형>, <낮은 상호지원형>의 4개로 분류되었으며, <부모제공형>이 가장 많았다. 4개의 유형중 <높은 상호지원형>의 노인들이 높은 삶의 질 수준을 보인 반면, <부모수혜형> 노인들은 자아통합감이 가장 낮았고, 우울수준이 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 2000년대 초반까지의 국내 선행연구들과 달리 우리나라의 노인들도 성인자녀와 쌍방향적 상호지원의 관계로 변화되어감을 발견할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 노인 장기 요양기관에서 노인들의 우울증에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구로서 서울시에 소재하며 노인 장기요인시설에 수용되어 있는 360여 명의 노인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 한국노인복지학회의 통계에 의하면 65세 이상 노인 우울증환자의 수는 13%에 이른다고 보고한 바 있다. 여기에 사회적 지지가 이러한 정서적 불안을 해소하는데 주요한 관건으로 보고 있다. 그 결과 인지된 사회적 지지와 우울증과의 관계가 강한 정을 나타내고, 그 다음으로 건강상태와 우울증이정(+)의 관계였다. 그리고 높은 건강상태는 낮은 정도의 우울증을 유발하고 네트워크의 크기나 접근의 빈도는 노인우울증과는 관련이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 노인 장기요양기관에 종사하는 사회복지사에게 사회사업실천에 있어 사회적 지지 프로그램을 어떻게 실천하여야 하는가를 암시하고 있다.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

This study was designed to investigate the malnutrition rate with anthropometric indices for the nutrient intake of 74 children aged 4-12 years old in three child welfare institutions in Cheonan city. The average heights and weights of the children are much lower than the Korean average height and weight. The mean BMI is $17.0{\pm}1.53$. In terms of height-for-age, 16.0% of the samples belong to below -2 standard deviation from the mean of the reference group. In terms of weight-for-age, 16.0% of the children belong to below -2 standard deviation. In terms of weight-for-height, 4.0% of the children belong to below -2 standard deviation. The standard deviation scores(Wt/Age, Ht/Age) indicate negative signs for seventy to eighty percent of the children. This is due to the lower consumption of the important nutrients that children consumed and almost all nutrients much less than the recommended daily allowances. Special nutrition welfare policies and programs targcting child welfare institutions should be developed to provide adequate nutrition for children in residential care.
