Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with social isolation in older adults using a senior welfare center. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. Data was collected from June to August 2006 using a questionnaire. A total of 248 older adults responded. Results: About one third (34.9%) of participants responded they felt socially isolated. There were statistically significant differences in living, religion, family and belongingness social support, loneliness, depression, family function, perceived health status, and number of chronic illnesses between socially isolated and non isolated groups. However, factors influencing social isolation were family function (OR=0.954, CI=0.926-0.982), loneliness (OR=1.042, CI=1.002-1.083), depression (OR=1.041, CI=1.002-1.081), and number of chronic illness (OR=1.657, CI=1.153-2.382). Conclusion: We found that some older adults were feeling socially isolated even though the senior welfare center was a good place to meet people. The findings of this study indicated that older adults suffering from social isolation need special attention and may benefit from interventions which promote health and social interactions. Further studies are needed to develop and evaluate an intervention program for this population.

This research is a case study based on face-to-face interviews with eighteen Mongolian marriage-based immigrants. The purpose of the study is to understand Mongolian family living in general and the Mongolian immigrants' family living in Korea in order to help the immigrants in their initial settlement period and the crossculture families by providing them with the information on Mongolian family living. Based on the findings of the study, marriage-based immigrants need a great deal of support for Korean language and adaptation to the new life style during their initial settlement period. Meanwhile, the immigrants that have lived in Korea more than three years can benefit from differentiated types of support such as career reinforcement programs or empowerment programs. Also, their children should be encouraged to become bilingual in their mother's native language with appropriate education and support system, and they will be able to become a great asset to our society in the future.

Recently people require complex access to problems in various fields of health, medical and welfare by an aging society. For this reason, the need for interprofessional education is required at the site of university education. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of interprofessional education (IPE) on attitudes towards health care teams. The subjects were 29 sophomores in the fields of health, medical and welfare in a university. Attitudes Towards Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCT) was used to measure the attitudes towards health care teams of subjects. The subjects were provided with a IPE program. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive analysis and paired t-test using the SPSS 26.0 version program. The attitudes towards health care teams of subjects increased significantly after IPE education (t=-4.28, p<.001). And there were significant differences in the three sub-factors of attitudes towards health care teams (Team efficacy, t=-4.44, p<.001; Benefit of communication, t=-3.30, p=.003; Team value, t=-3.21, p=.003). Therefore, the IPE program is considered to be an effective education program to improve attitudes towards health care teams.

Current world population is rapidly ageing and the disabled population is expected to age seriously as well. The concern about the elderly and the disabled is increased largely not just the field of social welfare and service but the housing planning where the physical environment of everyday life is. Recently in Ireland, 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes' is established and proposed in public. It is considered as initial and special national policy for the socially venerable. The purpose of this research is to analyze the User Benefit Characteristics(UBC) of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' and clearly organize the characteristics for comprehensive communication. The research subjects are 444 guidelines of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland.' The research is conducted by contents analysis technique, and each guideline is analyzed by the 4 main concepts of UBC- 'Behavioral Facilitation(BF)', 'Physiological Maintenance(PhM)', 'Perceptual Maintenance(PM)', 'Social Facilitation(SF).' As results, the User Benefit Characteristic of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' is ordered by PhM>PM>BF>SF. The design guidelines are supposed to support ageing in place and sustainable living in the existing houses even though people are ageing or being disabled. 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' supports safe behavior and comfort cognition especially in indoor and surrounding outdoor environment. This research is significant for sharing the knowledge and comprehension of decreasing environmental stress of the elderly in specific, and could be utilized for developing new elderly housing in future.

Background: Due to the diversification and advancement of research, researchers have become to deal with a variety of chemical and biological harmful materials in the laboratories of universities and research institutes and the risk has increased as well. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the social safety net for laboratory accidents by strengthening the compensation to the level comparable to that of Korean Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service, when the researchers become physically disabled by laboratory accidents. The purpose of this study is to secure researchers' health rights and to create a research environment where researchers can work with confidence by strengthening the compensation to the level comparable to that of Korean Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. Method: We analyzed the laboratory accidents by year, injury type, severity of accident and disability grade with the 6 year data from 2011 to 2016, provided by Laboratory Safety Insurance. Based on the analysis result, we predicted the financial impact on Laboratory Safety Insurance if we introduce a compensation annuity by disability grade which is similar to Injury-Disease Compensation Annuity of Korean Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. Result :As of 2011, the insured number of Laboratory Safety Insurance was approximately 700,000. The Average premium per insured was KRW 3,339 and there were 158 claims. Total claim amount was KRW 130 million, whereas the premium was about KRW 2.3 billion. The loss ratio was very low at 5.75%. If we introduce a compensation annuity by disability grade similar to Injury-Disease Compensation Annuity of Korean Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service, the expected benefit amount for 1 case of disability grade 1 would be KRW 1.6 billion, assuming 2% of interest rate. Given current premium, the loss ratio, the ratio of premium income to claim payment, is expected 41.4% in 2017 and 151.6% in 2026. The increased loss ratio due to the introduce of the compensation annuity by disability grade is estimated to be 11.0% in 2017 and 40.4% in 2026. Conclusion: Currently, laboratories can purchase insurance companies' laboratory safety insurance that meets the standards prescribed by Act on the Establishment of Safe Laboratory Environment. However, if a compensation annuity is introduced, it would be difficult for insurance companies to operate the laboratory safety insurance due to financial losses from a large-scale accident. Therefore, it is desirable that one or designated entities operate laboratory safety insurance. We think that it is more desirable for laboratory safety insurance to be operated by a public entity rather than private entities.

이 연구는 사회정책의 결과는 사회성원들의 사회정책 선호를 집합적인 의사결정으로 전환하는 기제, 즉 정치제도의 차이와 관련된다는 이론모형을 경험적으로 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 중위특성을 가진 사회성원이 사회정책을 선호한다고 하더라도 그러한 선호를 집합적으로 모으는 제도적 장치가 어떻게 작동하느냐에 따라 사회정책의 결과는 달라질 수 있다는 것이다. 분석결과 사회정책에 대한 직능제약 선호만 놓고 보면 일본과 한국은 조정시장경제로 분류되는 다른 국가들 못지않다. 하지만 일본과 한국은 조정시장경제나 자유시장경제로 분류되는 다른 국가들에 비해 민주주의 정치제도의 발전정도가 상대적으로 낙후되어 있으며, 노동인구를 표적집단으로 하는 사회정책 프로그램의 발전 정도 또한 낮다. 이러한 비교양상은 사회성원들의 선호를 집합적 의사 결정의 바탕으로 삼는 민주주의 정치제도의 낙후성이 사회성원들의 사회정책 선호와 실제 사회정책 발전 사이의 괴리라는 현상과 관련될 가능성을 보여준다. 한편 민주주의 정치제도가 어느 정도 발전해 있는 국가들 사이에서는 사회정책에 대한 사회성원들의 직능제약 선호의 차이 뿐 아니라, 선거규칙이라는 정치제도의 측면에서도 차이가 발견된다. 결국 16개 국가들의 종합적 양상은 사회성원들의 사회정책 선호와 그것을 집합적으로 모으는 정치제도, 그리고 실제 사회정책 발전 사이에는 밀접한 관계가 존재함을 보여준다.

일반적으로 공공임대주택은 자원의 배분뿐만 아니라 복지의 분배에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 공공임대주택에 대한 제도적 변화와 공공임대주택의 편익에 대해 설명해 보고자 한다. 기존의 많은 연구들은 동조적 선호체계를 고려하여 공공임대주택의 편익을 분석함으로써 공공임대주택에 따른 소득효과에 대해 명시적으로 고려하지 않았다. 이에 반해 본 연구는 비동조적 선호체계를 고려함으로써 공공임대주택에 따른 소득효과를 명시적으로 고려하였다. 이러한 선호체계를 바탕으로 시행한 분석 결과, 공공임대주택의 편익-비용 비율은 0.91을 기록하였으며, 이는 우리나라의 공공임대주택에 따른 사중손실(deadweight loss) 규모가 크지 않음을 반영한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 편익의 분포를 살펴보면 편익과 소득수준 간의 상관관계가 그리 높지 않아 공공임대주택의 궁극적인 목표계층인 저소득층에 대한 실질적인 혜택이 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 한국노동패널조사 자료를 이용하여 과거의 고용형태와 직종 그리고 생애근로기간 등이 노후의 빈곤여부 및 경제적 상태에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 노후 빈곤에 관한 기존 연구들은 성별, 연령과 같이 노후 빈곤이 발현된 이후의 대리변수들에만 관심을 갖고 직접적 원인인 과거의 노동경험이 노후빈곤에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 간과하였다. 분석결과, 최종 직종과 고용형태가 노후 빈곤 및 경제적 상태에 매우 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으며, 성별이나 결혼형태 등은 과거 노동경험의 영향을 통제할 경우 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 드러났다. 이처럼 과거 노동경험이 노후빈곤과 직접적으로 연관되어 있기 때문에 현행 공적연금의 급여를 기여에 기초한 것 뿐 아니라 시민권에 기초한 급여형태로 전환하여 노후빈곤을 방지하여야 할 것이다.
