본 연구는 성인 지적장애인의 비장애 형제들이 장애형제의 미래부양에 대해 갖는 책임감에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울지역 8개 장애인종합복지관에서 서비스를 이용하는 만18세 이상의 성인 지적장애인을 형제로 두고 있는 비장애 형제들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총132명의 자료가 최종 분석에 이용되었고, 다중회귀분석방법을 활용하여 지적장애인의 특성 요인 모형, 비장애형제의 특성 요인 모형, 관계적 요인 모형, 종합모형으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 지적장애인의 특성 요인에서는 장애정도가, 관계적 요인에서는 형제 간 친밀도와 사회적 지지가 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 최종 종합모형에서는 장애 정도, 비장애형제의 성, 형제 간 친밀도와 사회적 지지가 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이중 형제 간 친밀도와 사회적 지지를 포함한 관계적 요인이 부양 책임감을 예측하는 가장 중요한 요인인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 결과를 통해 지적장애인과 비장애 형제가 서로 간에 믿음과 이해를 증진시킬 수 있는 형제프로그램의 개발 및 확산이 요구되는 한편, 비장애형제가 가족이나 친구, 그 밖의 주변 사람들로부터 지지를 받을 수 있도록 대인관계망을 넓혀가도록 돕는 것이 중요하며, 또한 장애의 의존도에 따라 부양의 어려움을 경감시키기 위해 상이하게 접근할 필요가 있음을 시사하였다.

The Purpose of this study was to explore the generational conflicts around adult children's taking care of elderly parents and grandparents' caring for grand children. The results of this study were as follows. First, the child care responsibility of the parents' generation is much more intense than that of the parent care responsibility of the children's generation. Second, the norm of parent care has changed from being the responsibility of the eldest son to being the responsibility of all of the children, which had led to an increased probability of conflicts between the two generations due to the differences in expectation and reward. Third, the bilateralization of the kinship increases the responsibility of women in taking care of their families, which leads to an increase in conflict among women of different generations. Finally, the generational conflicts related to family care appear across different social classes.

Background: The healthcare needs of cancer patients are complex and persons involved in their caregiving process are faced with many issues that need to be addressed. The entire family and particularly the person taking on responsibility for patient care develop expectations from healthcare professionals, especially nurses. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of a home education program provided to caregivers of cancer patients on the level of their perceived social support and problems in caregiving. Interventions/Methods: The caregivers of thirty seven cancer patients of 2,400 registered people in a family center were given an educational program in this descriptive and cross-sectional study twice a week for a month during the period of March 2011 - April 2011. Results: Of all caregivers, 56.8% were between the ages 36-40, 94.5% were female, 91.9% had received no education on caregiving, 81.0% stated that they mostly felt physically and mentally inadequate in their caregiving. Perceived Social Support from the family indicated a significant difference at $8.05{\pm}4.38$ before and $11.7{\pm}4.97$ after the education. A comparison of the mean scores of caregivers on emotional issues before and after the education revealed the following: spiritual distress scores were $2.54{\pm}0.69$ before and $2.44{\pm}0.43$ after the education; hopelessness scores, $2.24{\pm}0.59$ before and $2.23{\pm}0.38$ after the education; ineffective individual coping was $3.89{\pm}1.42$ before and $2.45{\pm}0.59$ after the education; competing needs in decision-making were $3.54{\pm}0.69$ before and $2.10{\pm}1.24$ after the education; depressive feeling were $3.01{\pm}1.53$ before and $2.02{\pm}0.99$ after the education (p<0.05). Conclusions: Positive effects of home education on levels of perceived social support and caregiving problems of caregivers of cancer patients were observed. Home educational programs for caregivers of cancer patients are important for both better understanding of the requirements of their patients and themselves.

The number of grandparents who have responsibility for raising their grandchildren is growing. The present study examines the extent of this phenomenon and some of the issues these grandparents face in surrogate parenting. The sample consists of 69 grandparents(63 grandmothers and 6 grandfathers) of grandchildren who have lived with them at least 6 months without their parents. The grandparents raising grandchildren reported that caregiving bought negative changes in relations with their own children, economic situation and health condition. They concerned most about the issue of good mannered behavior of grandchildren and making good friends and needed social supports in terms of house cleaning and cooking and transportation for after school activities. Caregiver burden was related to the number of family members, the degrees of life changes, economic hardship due to caregiving, grandchildren's school performance and the relations with granparents' own children.

본 연구는 '2008년 노인생활실태조사'를 토대로 손자녀를 돌보는 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴본 것이다. 특히 양육 상황, 양육지각, 자원 등을 손자녀 양육경험의 주요 차원으로 설정하여, 매개모형분석을 통해 이들 요인 간의 상호복합적 관련성을 검토하였다. 본 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사대상자들의 손자녀 양육동기의 대부분이 맞벌이가정의 자녀양육을 돕기 위함이었으며, 조사대상자의 대다수가 양육에 대한 대가를 받지 않았다. 둘째, 돌봄 상황 자체가 직접적으로 조부모의 심리적 복지감의 차이를 유발하지 않고, 돌봄 상황의 차이가 가져온 양육지각과 자원의 차이가 매개역할을 하면서 간접적으로 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 자원 중 경제형편과 이웃도움은 양육지각을 긍정적으로 높이는 것과 관련되었으며 자녀지지는 양육지각과 관련이 없었다. 결국, 본 연구는 현대 사회에서 조부모가 손자녀 양육을 통해 성인자녀세대의 경제활동을 지원함으로써 사회의 생산성을 유지하는 중요한 서비스 제공자임을 보여준다. 또한 손자녀 양육경험은 관련요인들이 서로 복잡하게 연결된 복합적 과정이며, 특히 손자녀 양육 조부모의 심리적 복지감에 작용하는 개인, 가족, 사회적 자원의 유용성을 주목할 필요가 있다. 이것은 조부모의 손자녀 양육이 더 이상 개인과 가족차원의 논의에 머무르지 않고 지역사회차원 이상의 관심사로 다루어짐으로써, 이들의 외적자원을 강화시키는 구체적인 방안이 강구되어야 함을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the generative fathering scale to measure fathers' active involvement of parenting. Subjects were 188 fathers of early childhood from Jeonju. To begin with, the concept of generative fathering was discussed in the theoretical review, and then the measurement was comprised of two dimensions(the parental involvement of fathers and paternal responsibility) The parental involvement of fathers : thirty of 37 items were selected through the item analysis, and that 30 items were analyzed by factor analysis. The result of factor analysis indicated that the parental involvement of fathers comprised of three factors(developmental support, caregiving and monitoring, shared activities). paternal responsibility : this was analyzed through the same process above, two factors(responsibility as a resource provider and responsibility as a child-rearing)were extracted by factor analysis. The construct validity was supported and the internal consistency of this two sub-scale appeared to be at an acceptable level, and were considered to be useful way to measure generative fathering.

Purpose: This study done to identify the experiences of families caring for patients with terminal cancer. The question was, "What is the caregiving experience of a family who has a member with terminal cancer?" Methods: Grounded Theory was applied and in-depth interviews were done with 11 family members. Interviews were recorded with the interviewees' consent and were transcribed and analyzed. Participants' relationships to patients were 6 spouses, 4 daughters, and 1 mother. The ages of the participants were between 32 and 62, with an average of 47.5. Results: The study showed "enduring with bonds" as the main category and the main factor affecting this category was the "patients' diagnosis of terminal cancer." The caregiving experience was divided into four stages: shock, confusion, struggle, and acceptance. Mediating factors were relationship with the patient, intimacy with the patient, social support, communication, and trust. Conclusively, participants underwent internal maturity, and changes occurred in family and social and personal life. Conclusion: The families took care of the patients with responsibility and love. The study results should help with the understanding of a family with a member with terminal cancer and should be used to develop nursing, mediating, and consulting programs for these caregivers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with instrumental support (i.e., economic and practical support) from parents to their adult children. We examined both parents' attitudes toward instrumental support for adult children and parents' actual provision of instrumental support. From the data of the 2010 second National Survey of Korean Families, we selected 532 mothers and 524 fathers who were married and had at least one adult child aged over 25. Multiple regression analyses by the parents' gender showed that fathers were more likely to agree with instrumental support for adult children in general when they had unmarried children, had a lower household income level, had a lower evaluation of their socio-economic class, were satisfied with their own household economic situation, had positive attitudes toward caregiving for elderly parents, and were satisfied with their couple relationships. For mothers, they were more likely to agree with instrumental support for adult children in general when they had positive attitudes toward caregiving for elderly parents, were satisfied with their couple relationships, and perceived their child as someone to rely on in times of difficulties. Our analyses of the actual provision of support indicated that fathers tended to provide more support when they perceived that they were healthy, had unmarried children, were less satisfied with their household economic situation, had negative attitudes toward child-rearing, and reported a higher quality of parent-child relationship. For mothers, they were more likely to provide actual support when they were healthy, had unmarried children, had a higher level of household income, were financially preparing for later life, and less satisfied with their couple relationships. The findings of this study imply that it is imperative to distinguish the attitudes toward support from the actual provision of support and to also consider parents' gender in the literature on instrumental support for adult children.

형제자매는 가족주의 문화가 지배적이고 사회적 자원이 제한적인 한국 정신보건 상황에서 만성정신질환자의 삶에 영향을 미치는 중요한 존재임에도 불구하고 그동안 우리 사회에서 이들에 대한 관심은 간과되어 온 측면이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 성인만성정신질환자의 형제자매 보호자 역할에 초점을 두고 보호자 됨의 과정과 그 역할유형을 파악하기 위해 진행되었다. 이를 위해 개별면접과 포커스그룹 인터뷰를 통해 자료를 수집하고 그 내용을 근거이론에 의거하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 만성정신질환자의 형제자매 보호자 되기의 핵심범주는 '만성정신질환을 가진 형제자매에 대한 고통스런 기억, 책임감, 그리고 막연한 미래에 대한 고민을 안고 부모와는 또 다른 돌봄의 역할 찾아가기'로 도출되었으며, 그 역할에는 '현실순응적 의무 수행형', '희생적 자기책임 완수형', '발전적 보호의미 창출형'의 3가지 유형이 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 토대로 형제자매의 고유한 경험과 욕구에 기반을 둔 사회적 지원과 평생계획 서비스를 제안하였다.
