The purposes of this study was to examine the effects of undergraduate's optimism and family-control on their awareness of caregiving for the elderly. The subjects for this study were 374 undergraduates from 4 universities in G city. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS WIN(ver. 12.0) program, and frequency and percentile, mean and standard deviation, t-test, correlation analysis, multiple regression, and path analysis were utilized. The main findings of the study were as follows. The undergraduate's degree of optimism and family-control, and their awareness of caregiving for the elderly were slightly higher than the average. In addition, the undergraduate's optimism and family-control were differed according to their 'existence and/or nonexistence of religion', and their awareness of caregiving for the elderly was significantly different depending on 'existence and/or nonexistence of religion', and 'existence and/or nonexistence of living together with their grandparents'. It was also found that the undergraduate's awareness of caregiving for the elderly was directly influenced by their family-control, whereas their awareness of caregiving for the elderly was indirectly influenced by their optimism via family-control.

본 연구는 돌봄 관련 변수가 손자녀를 돌보는 조모의 신체 건강 만족도와 여가 활동 만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시되었다. 손자녀를 돌보는 조모 141명을 대상으로 수집된 자료는 기술 통계와 Pearson의 적률상관계수, 위계적 중다회귀로 분석되었다. 연구 결과, 신체 건강 만족도에는 조모의 교육 수준과 월 가계 총 소득, 돌보는 손자녀 수, 성인 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등여부가 영향 변수였다. 즉, 교육 수준이 높을수록, 월 가계 총 소득이 높을수록, 돌보는 손자녀의 수가 많을수록, 성인 자녀와 돌봄 갈등이 없는 경우, 조모의 신체 건강 만족도가 높았다. 여가 활동 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 조모의 교육 수준과 성인 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등 여부가 포함되어, 조모의 교육 수준이 높을수록, 자녀와의 돌봄 갈등이 없을 때, 이들의 여가 활동 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 함의를 논하였고 정책적, 실천적 측면에서 제언하였다.

Purpose: The study evaluated the determinants of caregiving self-efficacy among dementia caregivers. Methods: Data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey from dementia sufferers and caregivers by nurses or social workers caring for dementia sufferers at health centers during July to September 2007. Multiple stepwise regression analysis using SAS Version 9.1 was performed to examine the determinants of caregiving selfefficacy. Results: Factors affecting caregiving self-efficacy were behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), activities of daily living (ADL), and age of dementia sufferer. Conclusion: To increase dementia caregivers' self-efficacy, there is a need to reduce difficulties of dementia caregivers in caring BPSD and increasing the ADL level of dementia sufferers by providing guidelines of care and intervention programs for BPSD and ADL management.

이 연구는 여성결혼이민자를 대상으로 이들의 특성에 따른 부모 부양의식의 차이와 이에 영향을 주는 변인을 파악하고자 하였다. 여성결혼이민자 592명을 대상으로 설문을 통하여 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성결혼이민자의 신체적 및 경제적 부양의식은 거주지, 소득수준, 모국 부모 부양 희망, 모국 가족연락, 그리고 자조모임 참여에 따라 차이가 있었다. 반면 정서적 부양의식은 거주지, 소득수준, 부모동거, 모국 부모 부양희망, 자조모임 참여에 따라 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 중다회귀분석 결과 신체적 부양의식은 연령, 거주지, 가정소득, 모국 부모 부양희망, 모국가족과의 연락이 영향을 주는 변인이었으며, 경제적 부양의식은 연령, 거주지, 출신국, 배우자와의 연령차, 가정소득, 모국 부모 부양희망, 가족과의 연락이 영향하는 변인이었다. 정서적 부양의식은 거주지, 가정소득, 모국 부모 부양희망이 영향을 주는 변인으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 투입한 9개의 변인 중 모국 부모부양 희망이 3개의 종속변인 신체적, 경제적 및 정서적 부양의식 모두에 가장 영향력 있는 변인으로 나타났다.

손자녀를 돌보는 한국 조모들의 돌봄 특성에 따른 우울 증상을 살펴보기 위하여 시행한 연구이다. 한국고령화연구패널조사 4차 자료(2012년) 참여자 중, 손자녀가 1명 이상인 여성은 총 3,291명이다. 이 중 손자녀를 돌본경험이 있는 127명을 대상으로 하였다. 돌봄 제공 손자녀 수, 연간 돌봄 기간 및 주당 돌봄 시간에 따라 우울증상에 차이가 있는지 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 사회경제적 특성과 건강상태(주관적 건강, 만성질환 이환 개수, 통증 유무)를 통제하였을 때, 조모들은 손자녀 돌봄 기간이 길수록 우울 증상이 낮게 나타났고, 이와 반대로 주당 돌봄 시간이 길수록 우울 증상이 높게 나타났다. 손자녀를 돌보는 조모는 고령여성이 가지는 다양한 건강 문제와 더불어 돌봄 제공자 역할을 받아들일 수밖에 없으며, 이 과정에서 주당 돌봄 시간이 길수록 우울 증상 고위험군에 속할 확률이 높아진다. 손자녀 돌봄 특성과 정신 건강의 관련성에 대한 상세한 파악과 이해를 통해 손자녀 돌봄에 대한 사회적 책임 분담 등 지원 서비스와 정책에 대한 논의가 이어져야 하겠다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the variables which account for grandchildren caregivers' subjective well-being. The subjects of this research were 100 grandmothers who are currently caring for grandchildren. The instruments used for this study were 'Job Content Questionnaire' by Karasek(1979), 'Family Support Inventory for Worker' by King, Mattimore, King, & Adams(1995), 'Social Support Scale' by Park(1985) and 'Psychological Positive Functioning' by Ryff(1989). Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations and hierarchical multiple regression. The major results of this study are as follows; First, grandchildren caregiving's demand level was negatively related to grandmothers' subjective well-being, but it's control and support level were positively related to them. Second, the variables that explained grandchildren caregivers' sutjective well-being were their marital status, income, material reward, and family support. When they had a husband, the more money they had, and with more rewards for caregiving plus family support given, the more positive subjective well-being they had.

This study was conducted in order to understand grandmothers' satisfaction of caring for working mothers' children and the influence of related variables with regard to living arrangements. The data were collected from 245 grandmothers who have been caring for their grandchildren for more than 6 months. The data were analyzed by mean, t-test, $x^2$-test, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results were as follows: First, Degree of satisfaction was lower in grandmothers who were living with their children than those who were not. Second, the variables affecting the grandmothers living with their children were economic status, extent of care giving activities, and social support, wherein social support proved to be the most influential. In the case of those not living with their children, the significant variables were motive and social support, motive being more influential. This result indicates that affecting variables differ by the grandmothers' living arrangements, and thus the strategy to enhance their care giving satisfaction should differ as well, based on the findings.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing quality of life of caregivers using day care services. Methods: Data were collected from 14 different day care services in D city, with a total of 146 female caregivers as participants. All participants were at home caregivers whose patients were senior citizens older than 65. Data were collected from September 1 to 30 of 2008 and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Quality of life among caregivers of day care services differed significantly according to state of health, other caregivers, job, and family income. Quality of life among caregivers showed correlation with caregiving burden. The significant predictors affecting quality of life were state of health, other caregivers, job, and family income and caregiving burden. A combination of these predictors accounted for 43.5% of the variance in quality of life. Conclusion: These findings show that quality of life of family caregivers using day care services is influenced by caregiving burden. Development of day care service programs is necessary in order to reduce caregiving burden of family caregivers for the elderly.
