Korea is turning into the aging society after 2000 when the rate of the aged was over 7% in whole population. This increase of the aged brings not only numerical increase, but physically, psychologically, socially the phenomena of aging, and consequently it helps to decrease the old people’s independent living ability so that old people can’t live without someone’s help and protection. Especially, the increase of dementia sneile makes many hardship and problems to the family of caregiver. This research surveyed adult day care center for the needs assessment of the day care for Alzheimer’s victims in community setting. The result of adult day care center’s survey concludes that day care program, especially adult day care program for Alzheima’s victims, is the beginning of experimental period. Physically constructional problems like a limited space and a narrow passage, an unaccessible and unsecure exit are not furnished well. Besides, the staff’s overwork and burnout exists all the time because of budget problem Therefore, it’s hard to provide the variable programs for the individuation of the old people although staff approaches a speciality with an eager. The increase of the old population and nuclear family, the decrease of caregiving family might increase the demand of the adult day care program for Alzheimer’s victims. These results suggest we have to try to establish legalistic system from experimental step through the experience of program, and try to provide optimum facilities and staff, training opportunities for staff, and the stability of budget for special care and social services of adult day care center for Alzheimer’s victims.

신혜령(Hea Reong Shin) 한국아동복지학회 2001 한국아동복지학 Vol.- No.11

본 연구는 시설청소년의 개인적 특성, 배치상황, 그리고 사회적 지원이 자립준비에 어떻게 관련되며 영향을 미치고 있는가를 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 아동양육시설 50개소의 고등학교 2학년, 3학년 학생 208명과 이들을 담당하고 있는 보육사 133명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 측정도구로는 행동문제척도, 학교적응척도, 대처능력척도, 부모와의 유대척도, 자립준비척도가 사용되었다. 자료분석을 위해서 빈도분석, 상관분석, t-test, 다중회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 시설청소년의 자립준비정도는 청소년과 보육사에게서 모두 `보통` 이상이었으며, 그 중 자기관리기술은 전체 평균보다 낮게 나타났다 청소년들은 개인적 특성 중 학교적응, 행동문제, 대처능력과 배치상황 중 배치횟수와 시설의 입소배경, 그리고 사회적 지원으로서 보육사와의 유대를 자립준비에 영향을 주는 요소로 보았으며, 보육사들은 청소년의 행동문제, 성, 학교적응, 시설의 자립교육 등이 청소년의 자립준비에 영향을 미친다고 인식하였다. 따라서 시설청소년의 자립준비를 위해서는 개인의 심리사회적 대처능력의 향상이 필요하며 학업 및 진로지도, 행동문제에 대한 상담 및 개입프로그램, 그리고 개별 자립사정 및 자립준비 프로그램이 체계적으로 제공되어야 한다. 또한 양육과정에서 부모와 보육사와의 유대를 강화시키기 위한 정부와 시설의 방안들이 추진되어야 할 것이다. The readiness for independent living of adolescents in residential care is the process to improve the gradual independence and responsibility about their lives: However, for adolescents in residential care, the natural developmental process may be often mitigated by their individual and group experiences both prior to and while in care. The present study examined the readiness for independent living of adolescents who have been in the residential care system. Data for this study were taken from the survey of 208 high-school students and 133 care providers in 50 residential care facilities. The major findings are as follows. The readiness level for independent living of adolescents was higher than average scores from adolescents and care providers. But basic skills from both sides was found lower level than average scores of the readiness for independent living. Of the individual characteristics, school adaptation, coping behavior and behavior problem and gender contributed to readiness for independent living of adolescents. Among them, adolescents pointed that school adaptation was the most influential factor, but care providers recognized that behavior problem was the most influential factor. Of the placement situations, a number of placement experience and of parent divorce and economic difficulties were negatively influential, and of the social supports, attachment to care providers and involvement in independent living program positively contributed to the readiness for independent living of adolescents. Findings from this study suggest that social work practice should deal with psychological and social problems of the adolescents in residential care through applying counseling techniques, group work methods to assessment and intervention of their problems and public policy should establish placement system to contact the child and their parents in care continuously, and enact programs of adolescents preparing for the independent living prior to discharge of residential care.

강현아(Hyun Ah Kang),신혜령(Hea Reong Shin),박은미(Eun Mi Park) 한국아동복지학회 2009 한국아동복지학 Vol.- No.30

본 연구는 청소년 초점(focal)이론을 바탕으로 퇴소청소년의 성인전환 단계에 따라 자립 및 사회적응 현황이 다를 것이라는 점에 주목하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 퇴소한지 1년 미만부터 4년 이상 된 1,376명의 퇴소청소년들을 퇴소연차와 대학진학여부를 바탕으로 5개 집단으로 분류(퇴소 직후 고졸집단, 퇴소한 지 1년 된 고졸집단, 대학재학 집단, 퇴소 2년 이상 고졸집단, 퇴소 2년 이상 대학졸업 집단)하여 그들의 자립 및 사회적응 현황을 비교분석하였다. 연구 결과, 퇴소연차나 대학진학여부와 관계없이 퇴소청소년들이 겪는 가장 큰 문제점은 불안정한 취업 및 주거상태, 열악한 경제 상황, 소원한 가족관계를 들 수 있다. 집단 비교 결과, 사회적 관계와 심리·행동적 발달측면에서 대학에 진학한 집단과 그렇지 못한 집단 간의 큰 격차가 드러났다. 고졸집단 간에도 퇴소한 지 오래된 집단일수록 부정적인 결과가 더욱 두드러지는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구는 이 결과를 바탕으로 퇴소청소년들의 학업성취 향상과 주거안정화를 위한 정책 및 실천방안을 논하였다. In this study, we examine the level of independence and social adjustment in youths who aged-out of child residential facilities between the years of 2004 and 2008. Based on the adolescent focal theory, we focus on the possible differences in the status of independence and social adjustment among youths according to their discharge year and educational achievement. Survey data of 1,376 former youths were used in this study. The youths were categorized into five groups(first post-discharge year with high school diploma or less, second year with high school diploma or less, youths in college, third to fifth year with high school diploma or less, and third to fifth year with college diploma). Their independence levels were compared across the five groups by examining their housing, economic, and occupational situations, and the levels of their independent living skills. The social adjustment status of the five groups was also compared based on their mental health status and social relationships. The results show that all youths who aged-out of the residential facilities, regardless of their discharge year and educational achievement, suffered from poor economic, housing, and occupational conditions. The group of youths with a college diploma showed the best outcomes in almost all areas. On the contrary, the group with the worst outcomes, especially in relation to independence and social relationships was found to be the group of youths who were in their third to fifth post-discharge year and who had an education level of high school diploma or less. Policy and practice implications for independent living programs were discussed based on the analytic findings.
