본 연구는 노인의 노화에 대한 태도가 이들의 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 이를 매개하는 요인으로써 부모-자녀 간의 결속감의 역할을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 전국의 노인 2,067명을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고, SPSS macro PROCESS v.2.16을 활용하여 다중매개효과를 검증한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인의 노화에 대한 태도는 삶의 만족에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 둘째, 노인의 노화태도는 부모-자녀 간의 결속감의 다섯가지 하위차원에 있어 모두 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 특히 노화에 대하여 부정적인 태도를 가질수록 부모-자녀 간의 결속이 더욱 높아지는 결과를 보이고 있었다. 셋째, 부모-자녀 간 결속의 하위차원들 중 애정적 일치적 기능적 결속이 노인의 노화태도와 삶의 만족간의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 애정적 결속이 가장 큰 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 노인의 삶의 만족을 위한 실천적 개입방안을 제안하였다.

Objective: This study examined correlates of residential proximity between parents and non-coresident married children. A majority of existing studies on intergenerational living arrangement has focused on exploring factors that are associated with intergenerational coresidence only, despite an increasing number of parents and children who do not live together but close by. Because residential proximity facilitates frequent contacts and support exchanges between the two generations, it is important to understand its correlates. Method: The data were drawn from first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA, 2006), a nationally representative sample of adults 45 years or older and their spouses. The analytic sample consisted of 3,950 parents with 10,946 non-coresident married children. Both regression with robust standard errors and sibling fixed effects regression models were estimated using the reg and xtreg procedures in STATA. Results: Younger, less depressed, and more physically impaired parents lived closer to at least one of their married children (within a 30-minute distance by public transportation). Fathers (compared to mothers), parents living in cities (compared to those living in rural areas), parents with at least one co-resident child or fewer numbers of married children tended to have at least one married child living nearby. With regard to child characteristics, married children who were less educated, homeowners, and had more children lived closer to their parents. Also, sons (compared to daughters) lived in closer distance to their parents. Conclusion: Overall, findings suggest that intergenerational residential proximity may primarily be motivated by the childcare needs of married children or parents' needs for assistance with functional impairment. Also, the traditional patrilineal norms of intergenerational support may still be a critical factor in residential decisions as observed in the difference between married sons and daughters in proximity to their parents.

This study focused on individual differences in social support among older adults. The purposes of this study were to investigate sex and age group differences in social support and to examine the effects of intergenerational social support on life satisfaction among the rural elderly. Data were from 545 elderly over 60 years of age living separately from adult children in the rural area. With regard to sex differences in support exchanges, no significant differences were found in support-giving and support-receiving. Men reported giving more financial support to children than women, while women reported receiving more financial support from children than men. With regard to age group differences in support exchanges, there was less support-giving in older age group. Older parents in their 60s reported giving more financial, instrumental, and emotional support and receiving less financial support than the group of age 70＋ Regression analyses showed that life satisfaction of both men and women was affected by support size and the frequency of contact with children. Giving financial and instrumental support was significantly associated with life satisfaction of men, but giving and receiving each type of social support had no effects on life satisfaction of women. Life satisfaction of parents in their 60s was found to be positively associated with support size, giving financial support and receiving emotional support, and negatively associated with giving instrumental support. In the group of age 70＋, the frequency of contact with adult children and giving financial support had positive influences on life satisfaction.

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to evaluate parent satisfaction with inpatient hospital services in children's hospitals and to identify variables related to parent satisfaction. Method: A descriptive correlation study was conducted. Parents of 165 children who were inpatients in two children's hospitals participated in the study. Data were collected using structured questionnaire at the time of discharge. For statistical analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results: The highest parent satisfaction domain was nursing service, and the lowest parent satisfaction domain was hospital service and accommodations. Parents were less likely to be satisfied with hospital facilities, equipment, noise and cleaning and less likely to be satisfied with the lack of information they received and with the lack of communication with health care professionals. Parents with longer length of stay and with older children reported higher satisfaction than their counterparts. Moreover, parent satisfaction was related to their intention to revisit and related to intention to recommend this surveyed hospital over others. Conclusions: Efforts to improve parent satisfaction in children's hospital service and accommodation are needed to improve the quality of health care. Communication by health care professionals with parents and a partnership between parents and health care professionals are necessary to improve quality of care.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing lifetime smoking and current smoking among adolescents in South Korea. Methods: Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted based on complex sample analysis using statistics from the 10th (2014) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. The study sample comprised 72,060 adolescents aged 12 to 18. Results: The significant factors influencing adolescent lifetime smoking were female gender, older age, higher stress, higher weekly allowance, lower economic status, living apart from parents, parental smoking, sibling smoking, peer smoking, observation of school personnel smoking, and coed school compared to boys' school. The significant factors influencing adolescent current smoking were female gender, older age, higher stress, higher weekly allowance, both higher and lower economic status compared to middle economic status, living apart from parents, parental smoking, sibling smoking, peer smoking, observation of school personnel smoking, and coed school compared to boys' school. Conclusion: Factors identified in this study need to be considered in programs directed at prevention of adolescent smoking and smoking cessation programs, as well as policies.

The purpose of the study was to explore what factors influenced the elderly's prospective inheritance types such as traditional, equal, practical, and non-inheriting type. The role of older parents' socio-demographic and intergenerational characteristics affecting a decision on each pattern was paid special attention to. I used the nationally representative data from 10,469 older parents living independently in the '2008 Korean National Survey of Welfare Need in the Elderly'. Results showed that prospective inheritance types among the elderly were diverse. The type which pursues equal distribution of wealth to all the children emerges predominantly from them. Findings also suggested that inheritance types were associated with factors such as both individual and intergenerational variables. Furthermore, different factors had different impact on each type. Individual variables contributed more to equal types while intergenerational variables contributed to practical types. More interestingly, both individual and intergenerational factors affected non-inheriting types. Further research is necessary to investigate what mechanisms will be operating through the process of inheritance, which social policies will be substituted for the inheritance, and what other variables will account for the intergenerational transmission of wealth.

In this study, we investigated the effect of family values and the resource factors provided by parents on marriage intention among men and women in their 30s and 40s who have never married. The study participants were 300 never-married men and women in their 30s and 40s living in Seoul and its suburbs. The participants were chosen via purposive sampling. The study results are follows. First, according to the analysis of the subjects' family values and the resource factors provided by parents, both family values and the resource provided factors by parents showed higher scores than the median. Subjects had higher scores than the median score in regards to marriage intention, indicating that they had a greater intention to marry. Second, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the effect of the socio-demographic characteristics of subjects, family values, and the resource factors provided by parents on marriage intention. As a result, age, the need of marriage and gender-role attitudes prevalent in family values, and the economic resources among the resource factors provided by parents had significant effects on marriage intention. Thus, the older the age of the subjects, the more traditional the view of marriage and gender-role attitudes, and the greater the amount of economic resources provided by parents, the greater the subjects' intention to marry.

본 연구는 자녀가 지각한 부모의 의미가 우울에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 삶의 의미의 매개효과가 있는지, 부모의 의미의 연령차가 있는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 청소년 후기, 성인 초기, 중년기, 노년기 각각 100명씩 총 400명을 대상으로 한 온라인 설문조사 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 부모의 의미는 삶의 의미와 정적 상관이 나타났으며, 우울과는 부적 상관을 보였다. 삶의 의미와 우울은 부정 상관을 나타냈다. 둘째, 청소년 후기, 성인 초기, 중년기, 노년기의 연령에 따라 부모의 의미의 차이가 나타나는지 확인한 결과 연령에 따른 차이는 없었다. 셋째, 구조방정식을 통해 자녀가 지각한 부모의 의미와 우울 간의 관계에서 삶의 의미의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 부모의 의미는 삶의 의미를 낮춤으로써 우울을 높이는 것으로 나타나 삶의 의미의 매개효과가 유의하였다. 따라서 부모의 의미를 증진하고 삶의 의미를 높이는 방안을 통해 청소년 후기와 성인기의 우울을 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 실용적 함의와 후속 연구를 위한 제한점을 논의하였다.

This study is based on the National Pension Research Institute's 2013 Korean Retirement and Income Study(KReIS) 5 Data for Parents and Children Care over 50 years old and analyzed the satisfaction level of life according to the characteristics of 226 people in society. The results showed that women were more satisfied with their lives than men, and when the age was lower, when they had spouses, and when they had independent economic power. As for the grandchildren caring provider, the higher the education levels, the higher the satisfaction with life. And across all areas, the grandchildren care provider showed greater satisfaction with life than the parents care provider. These results show that the burden of the parents' carers is as great as that. Suggestions based on these results are as follows. First, It is necessary to develop a health care program that can be easily accessed by family carers. Second, Direct economic support is needed, with the primary focus being on family carers. Third, services targeting parents care providers are needed. It is also necessary to form a network that can share the difficulties of parental care.
