Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of predictive factors related to family strength and develop a structural equation model that explains family strength among married working women. Methods: A hypothesized model was developed based on literature reviews and predictors of family strength by Yoo. This constructed model was built of an eight pathway form. Two exogenous variables included in this model were ego-resilience and family support. Three endogenous variables included in this model were functional couple communication, family stress and family strength. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from 319 married working women who were 30~40 of age and lived in cities of Chungnam province in Korea. Data were analyzed with PASW/WIN 18.0 and AMOS 18.0 programs. Results: Family support had a positive direct, indirect and total effect on family strength. Family stress had a negative direct, indirect and total effect on family strength. Functional couple communication had a positive direct and total effect on family strength. These predictive variables of family strength explained 61.8% of model. Conclusion: The results of the study show a structural equation model for family strength of married working women and that predicting factors for family strength are family support, family stress, and functional couple communication. To improve family strength of married working women, the results of this study suggest nursing access and mediative programs to improve family support and functional couple communication, and reduce family stress.

There were 2,055 subjects. Methods : A multiple regression model was used to study the association between two-income families and symptom of depression, controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, spouse relationship characteristics (couple activity, household labor, relationship with spouse). Results : Authors found a negative relationship between couple activity (b=-0.151, p<0.001) and depressive symptoms, a positive relationship between household labor (b=0.045, p=0.001) and depressive symptoms, and a negative relationship between relationship with spouse (b=-0.386, p<0.001) and depressive symptoms.

The purpose of this study was to look into how married working men with a child younger than six years old spent their weekend time either alone or with their wives on housework, family care, and leisure activities, and to find out whether different types of time use brought about different levels of satisfaction to their use of time on weekends. Factors associated with each type were also explored. We analyzed 857 weekend time diaries of married men with a preschooler and men who worked more than 40 hours a week. This data came from the 2009 Time Use Survey conducted by Statistics Korea. Descriptive statistics and cluster analysis results showed that weekend time distribution to those three activities was classified into four different types, namely, 'nonparticipation', 'personal leisure centered', 'couple leisure centered', and 'family centered'. Time use satisfaction for 'couple leisure centered' and 'family centered' types which involved wife and child was significantly higher than the other two types. Age and traditional gender role attitude were associated with the personal leisure and couple leisure centered types, while work related factors such as work hours, regular day off, employment status, and occupation functioned as determinants of the nonparticipation type. Findings from this study suggest that weekend time spent together with family could be the source of satisfaction, but almost half of the respondents were deprived of their weekend family time due to work schedules on weekends. This study supports the need for organizational and policy efforts to ensure non-working weekends for fathers and husbands.

이 연구는 남성들의 은퇴가 활발히 일어나는 연령층 부부들의 식사 및 관련 행위를 분석하고 있다. 이 연구는 가사노동을 다루어 온 많은 연구들과 중첩되는 측면이 있으나, 식사준비, 식사행위, 설거지 등의 개별항목을 끼니별로 접근함으로써 일상적인 삶의 구체적인 모습에 한걸음 더 다가가고 있다. 한편, 대부분의 기존연구와는 달리 개인의 특성과 함께 부부나 배우자의 특성을 함께 고려하여 분석을 시도하고 있다. 한국통계청이 실시한 2004년도 생활시간조사자료 중 40대 후반부터 60대 후반 사이의 기혼여성들과 그 배우자들의 식생활행위를 분석해 본 결과, 부부의 식사행위, 식사준비 및 설거지 양상 등은 무엇보다도 부부의 취업형태에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 부부의 취업형태를 중심으로 볼 때, 부부가 함께 식사하는 비율이 가장 낮은 것은 부인만 취업한 상태이다. 은퇴연령층에서 부인만 취업하고 있다는 것은 이들이 식당 등과 같은 서비스업에 종사할 가능성이 높으며, 이로 인해 부부가 함께 식사할 수 있는 기회가 적음을 의미한다. 한편, 부인만 식사준비 하는 비율은 부인만 취업한 경우가 다른 경우보다 낮게 나타난다. 그럼에도 불구하고 부인만 취업한 경우에도 부인만 식사를 준비하는 사례가 절반 정도에 이른다. 부인만 설거지를 하는 비율 또한 식사준비를 하는 비율의 패턴과 유사하다. 이 비율 또한 부인만 취업한 경우에 가장 낮지만, 상당 수준에 이른다. 이를 통해 볼 때 식사준비와 설거지를 하는 해당 연령층 부인들의 비율은 취업상태에 따라 분명한 차이를 보이지만 대체로 이들 행위들은 여성들의 몫으로 남겨져 있다. 이는 다시 가족 내 식사준비와 설거지 등과 같은 일상적인 삶의 행위가 가족내 성역할을 반영하고 있음을 보여준다.
