Career maturity among children from economically disadvantaged families in Korea

Jung, Yunkyung,Kim, Jong-Il The Korea Contents Association 2012 International Journal of Contents Vol.8 No.4

The present study aims to explore career maturity and influencing factors among elementary schoolers from poor families in Korea. Data are from 249 welfare recipient children in 10 administrative districts of Incheon. Scores of the work attitudes subdomain was lower than other aspects of career maturity including planning, self-appraisal, and independence in career decision-making. In the full sample, those in the higher academic years showed greater career maturity, planning, and self-appraisal, and those with greater parent attachment showed higher levels of self-appraisal. In separate analyses by gender, parent attachment showed greater influence on girls' career maturity. Finding from the separate analyses on lower vs. higher academic years (i.e. grades) revealed that parent attachment and female were associated with career maturity among lower graders, while academic achievement was associated with career maturity, planning, and self-appraisal among those in higher graders. Findings lend support to parental involvement in career education. Poor children might have limited perceptions of career focused on satisfying economic necessities. Career education should pay attention in helping them expand perceptions of the values of career.

노년기 활동참여의 프로파일과 시간에 따른 전이패턴에 대한 연구: 우리나라와 일본의 비교

정윤경(Jung, Yunkyung) 한국웰니스학회 2020 한국웰니스학회지 Vol.15 No.1

본 연구는 우리나라와 일본 노인들의 활동참여에 대한 잠재적 집단을 도출하고 잠재집단과 우울수준의 관계에 대해 분석하였다. 한국고령화연구패널의 2차(2008)와 5차(2014) 자료와 일본노화은퇴연구 패널의 2차(2009)와 4차(2013) 자료를 사용하여 잠재집단 분석을 수행한 결과 우리나라 노인들에서는 각 년도 별로 세 개의 이질적인 활동참여 잠재집단이 도출되었으며 일본 노인들에서는 2009년 세 개의 활동참여 집단과 2013년 두 개의 집단이 도출되었다. 다항로지스틱 분석에 의하면 우리나라와 일본 노인들의 연령, 성별, 교육수준, 소득, 주관적 건강상태에 따라 잠재집단의 멤버쉽이 달라졌다. 잠재집단과 우울수준의 관계를 분석한 회귀분석 결과에 의하면 우리나라 노인들의 경우 지속적으로 여가활동 미약형으로 구분된 노인들이 다른 집단에 비해 우울수준이 높았으며 일본 노인들은 사회적 활동 미약형에서 저활동형으로 전이한 노인들의 우울수준이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 노인들의 활동참여는 몇 가지의 잠재적 유형으로 구분되며 비교적 활동이 저조한 노인들이 정서적 건강 문제에 취약함을 보여주며 따라서 지역사회 노인들의 정서적 건강을 위해 활동참여와 고립해소를 위한 개입의 필요성에 대한 함의를 제시한다. This study aimed to identify latent classes in activity participation and examine the relationship between latent class membership and depressive symptoms in samples of Korean and Japanese older adults. Data were from the 2<SUP>nd</SUP>(2008) and the 5<SUP>th</SUP>(2014) waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing and the 2<SUP>nd</SUP>(2009) and the 4<SUP>th</SUP>(2013) waves of the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement. Latent class analysis suggested three latent classes for activity participation among older Koreans for each data point, while older Japanese were grouped into three and two latent classes in 2009 and 2013, respectively. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that age, gender, education, household income, and health were determinants of latent class membership. Older Koreans identified as the maintaining low leisure activity group showed greater depressive symptoms, while older Japanese who changed their class membership from the low social activity group to the low activity group showed greater depressive symptoms. Findings suggested that older adults can be classified into distinctive groups according to their activity participation patterns and older adults with low activity were more vulnerable to emotional health problems, thus suggesting needs in intervention for promoting activity participation and social isolation for older adults in the community.

노년기 건강검진과 건강행동의 관계에 대한 종단적 연구

정윤경 ( Yunkyung Jung ) 한국보건정보통계학회(구 한국보건통계학회) 2018 보건정보통계학회지 Vol.43 No.1

Objectives: Despite the increasing importance of older adults’ own health behaviors in achieving healthy aging, there has been lack of research on associations between health screening and other health behaviors of older adults. The present study aims to examine longitudinal associations between health screening and smoking, drinking, and practice of regular exercise among older adults. Methods: Analyse were based on 2,458 individuals aged 65 and over who participated in the 1-4 waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). Generalized Estimating Equations were performed to investigate associations between health screening and health behaviors when effects of demographic characteristics and health-related variables were controlled. Results: Findings suggested that older adults who participated in private health screening showed a lower odds of drinking over the 6-year-period. Both public screening and private screening were associated with greater odds practice of regular exercise. Conclusions: Results from the present analyses emphasized health screening, as a preventive health behavior, could promote healthier lifestyle of older adults and suggest potential needs for follow-up after health screening.

고령근로자의 고용불안정 상태, 고용불안과 우울증상의 관계

정윤경(Yunkyung Jung) 한국사회복지교육협의회 2021 한국사회복지교육 Vol.53 No.-

우리나라 고령자들의 광범위한 고용불안정 상태에도 불구하고 이에 대한 고령근로자들의 주관적인 인식이나 건강과의 관계에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 고령근로자의 고용불안정 상태 및 고용불안 인식과 우울증상의 시간에 따른 관계를 분석하는 것이다. 분석은 한국고령화연구패널(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing: KLoSA)의 1차(2006)~6차(2016)년도 조사에 모두 참여한 55세 이상 대상자 중 조사기간 동안 한번 이상 임금근로자로 일한 906명을 대상으로 수행하였다. 혼합효과 모델을 사용하여 고용유형 및 주관적 고용불안의 우울증상과의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과에 의하면 상용직에 비해 일용직 고령근로자들은 높은 우울수준을 보였으며 고용불안 인식 또한 우울수준과 정적인 관계에 있었다. 고용유형과 고용불안의 시간과의 상호작용은 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타나 고용유형과 고용불안 인식에 따른 우울수준의 차이는 시간이 지나도 일정하게 유지되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 우리나라 고령근로자들의 상당한 비율이 객관적 고용불안정과 주관적 고용불안을 경험할 뿐 아니라, 이들은 고령근로자들의 정신건강의 격차를 발생시키는 요인이 될 수 있음을 밝혔다는데 의의가 있다. 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 노년기 고용불안정 개선을 위한 정책적 개입과 비정규직 근로환경 개선 방안을 제시하였다. Despite the significant proportion of olde workers with instable employment condition, empirical studies about their subjective perception on their employment instability and the health consequences remain limited. Thus, this study aims to investigate the associations between employment instability, job insecurity, and depressive symptoms of older workers over time. Analyses were based on 906 individuals aged 55 and older, who had ever worked as paid employee, and continued to participate in the 1st to 6th waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA). Findings from mixed-effects models indicated that compared to standard workers, daily-workers showed significantly higher depressive symptoms. Older workers with job insecurity perception also demonstrated greater depressive symptoms. Interactions of employment type by time and job insecurity by time were not significant reflecting the differences in depressive symptoms depending on employment type and job insecurity perception tend to remain consistent over time. The present study suggests that there are not only high levels of employment instability and job insecurity perception, they also can be determinants of disparity in psychological health of older workers. Implications to the intervention needs for reducing employment instability and better working conditions of older workers are discussed.
