생산직 근로자의 직무스트레스와 삶의 질의 관계에서 여가활동만족도의 조절효과

Objectives The purpose of this study is to verify the moderating effect of leisure activity satisfaction in the relationship between job stress and quality of life of production workers. Methods For this purpose, an online survey was conducted targeting production workers at companies located in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, and 86 copies were used in the final statistical analysis. For the collected data, descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, and correlation analysis were conducted for each variable using SPSS 22.0, and the moderating effect was verified using Process Macro for SPSS V3.5 Model 1. Results First, the job stress of production workers was found to have a significant negative effect on their quality of life. Second, production workers' satisfaction with leisure activities was found to have a significant positive effect on their quality of life. Third, leisure activity satisfaction was found to moderate the relationship between job stress and quality of life of production workers. In addition, although leisure activity satisfaction moderates the relationship between job stress and quality of life, it was found that leisure activity satisfaction played a greater role in the group with low job stress than in the group with high job stress. Conclusions First, it is significant that it has been empirically confirmed that leisure activity satisfaction is an important regulating factor in the relationship between job stress, quality of life, and leisure activity satisfaction of production workers and in the relationship between job stress and quality of life of office workers. Second, by uncovering the major variables that affect the quality of life of production workers, it is meaningful in that it can provide basic data for early screening of office workers with low quality of life and effective intervention. Third, the results of this study provided implications for the development of counseling and education programs related to job stress and leisure activity satisfaction that can increase the quality of life of production workers, which are increasingly being emphasized.

Birding specialization and satisfaction in Australian birders – a Big Year is not a big issue

ABSTRACT Birding as a non-consumptive, nature-related outdoor activity is becoming increasingly popular. Here, using an online survey of Australian birders, we focussed on birding as a construct of recreation specialization and considered three aspects: perceived level of skill/knowledge, behaviour, and involvement. We analysed demographic effects (age, degree and payment for birding services) in relation to level of birding specialization, as well as leisure satisfaction for the first time in Australian birders. We further studied the “Big Year”. Birders can be classified into three groups: casual/novice, intermediate and advanced. Their satisfaction with birding as a leisure activity was generally high. More highly skilled and committed birders reported higher satisfaction, as did birders who participated more frequently. We also found that paid birders reported higher skill/knowledge compared to unpaid birders. Most respondents never participated in a Big Year, but if they did, it was most often in their local geographic area. From a theoretical viewpoint, leisure activity satisfaction should be studied on the general (trait) level as well as on the situational place level in situ. As a managerial implication, institutionalizing a local Big Year in a nearby birding hotspot (with minimal travelling time and costs) may be an enhancing and satisfying task.

중고령 장애인의 주관적 건강 궤적 영향요인-비장애인과의 비교

This study examines whether and how self-rated health (SRH) changes among middle-aged and older adults with disabilities compared to adults without disabilities. From the Korean Welfare Panel Survey encompassing the 7th (2012) to the 16th (2021). the study extracted 836 adults with disabilities aged 50 or older and 4,258 adults without disabilities. Potential growth models (unconditional and conditional models) were analyzed to identify subjective health changes and factors influencing such changes. Multi-group comparison analysis method was adopted to examine differences by disability. In the unconditional model analysis, the SRH of both adults with disabilities and adults without disabilities tended to decrease gradually over time. Adults with disabilities had a lower initial value of SRH than adults without disabilities, but there was little difference in the rate of change. In the conditional model analysis, gender, age, household income, health checkups, risk of drinking, family relationship satisfaction, social relationship satisfaction, and leisure activity satisfaction variables were the factors affecting the initial values of SRH of adults with and without disabilities. Looking at the influencing factors by disability, it was found that the effect of education training was significant for adults with disabilities, and the effect of smoking was significant for adults without disabilities.The effects of age and smoking were more significant in adults without disabilities, and the effects of the number of years of education and health checkups were more significant in adults with disabilities. Volunteer activities are positively associated with the rate of change in SRH regardless of disability. On the other hand, dangerous drinking had a significant effect on the rate of change in SRH of adults with disabilities, and having medical checkups had a significant effect on that of adults without disabilities. The results suggest that health promotion policies and services for middle-aged and older adults with disabilities need to reflect their characteristics compared or contrasted with middle-aged and older adults without disabilities.

여가활동만족도에서 여가시간, 여가비용과 거주지의 영향: 2018 대구사회 조사 사례

본 연구는 여가활동만족도에 여가시간(주말에 생활시간 압박정도), 여가비용(평균여가활동비용), 그리고 거주지(구·군)의 영향력을 파악하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 2018 대구사회조사의 원자료가 분석에 활용되었으며, 빈도분석, 상관분석, 일원분산분석과 다중회귀분석 기법과 같은 자료 분석방법이 활용되었다. 주요한 연구결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 다중회귀분석을 통해서 여가비용은 여가활동만족도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 반면에 여가시간은 여가활동만족도에 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 응답자들의 거주지는 여가활동만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 거주지에 따라서 영향의 방향에 차이가 나타났다. 예를 들어서, 거주지가 대구광역시 남구와 달성군일 경우에는 여가활동만족도에 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤다. 인구통계 변수에서는 월평균가구소득이 유의한 정(+)의 영향력을 나타냈지만, 연령은 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 보여주었다. 분석결과는 여가활동만족도 결정에 거주지와 같은 지리적 요인이 유의하게 관련될 수 있다는 가능성을 보여줬다. 본 연구는 여가활동만족도 결정과 관련하여 여가시간과 여가비용의 중요성을 확인하는 것에서 더 나아가 거주지가 여가생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악함으로서 사람들이 거주하는 공간(지역)의 중요성에 대한 환기를 통해서 여가활동만족도 제고를 위한 이론적 논의 및 실무적 시사점을 결론에서 제시했다.

Factors Influencing Leisure Satisfaction Among Elderly with Economic Burden and Health Problems: Focusing on Leisure Activities

본 연구는 노인들의 여가활동 제약요인들을 살피고, 특정 제약요인을 가진 노인들의 여가만족도를 높이기 위해서 실천적 측면에서 노인의 특성과 욕구에 기반 한 여가활동을 제안하고 정책적 지원 방안을 마련 할 목적으로 수행되었다. 노후보장패널 6차 부가조사자료를 활용하여 65세 이상 노인들 가운데 경제적 부담과 건강문제로 여가활동에 제약을 경험한다고 응답한 3167케이스를 분석하였다. 여가활동의 제약요인 집단별 여가만족도의 영향요인을 분석하기 위하여 인구사회적 특성(나이, 성별, 교육, 혼인상태, 독거여부, 지역, 적정생활비수준, 건강상태), 여가관련 변인(여가시간, 여가동기), 여가활동 변인(선호 활동, 비선호 활동)을 단계적으로 위계선형 회귀 모형에 입력하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인 여가활동의 주요한 제약원인으로는 경제적 부담과 건강 문제가 압도적으로 높았다. 둘째, 세 집단(재정취약집단, 건강취약집단, 재정+건강취약집단) 간의 여가관련 변인에서 차이가 나타났다. 여가활동 만족 수준은 재정취약집단이 가장 높게, 다음으로 건강취약집단, 재정+건강취약집단의 순서로 나타났다. 여가시간은 재정취약집단에서 가장 짧았으며, 여가동기에서는 재정취약집단에서 가족 및 주변 관계 때문이라는 응답은 높았으며, 건강유지라는 응답은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 건강취약집단에서 휴식활동을, 재정취약집단에서는 오락취미 활동을, 그리고 재정+건강취약집단에서 사회활동을 선호 한다는 응답이 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 재정취약집단의 경우, 애완동물 돌보기 및 정원손질 같은 활동들을 선호 한다고 응답할수록 여가만족도가 높게 나타난 반면, 국내여행을 선호 한다고 대답할수록 여가만족도가 낮게 나타났다. 건강취약집단의 경우, TV 시청 및 라디오 듣기 등의 휴식활동을 선호 한다고 응답할수록 그리고, 비선호 한다고 응답할수록 모두의 경우에서 여가만족도가 낮게 나타났다. 이밖에도 종교활동 혹은 친목단체 활동과 같은 사회참여 활동을 선호 한다고 응답할수록 여가만족도가 높게 나타났다. 재정+건강취약집단의 경우, 집근처 산책 혹은 TV 시청, 국내여행 등의 활동을 여가활동으로 선호 한다고 응답한 노인일수록 여가만족도가 낮게 나타난 반면, 바둑, 장기, 체스 등의 오락 활동과 등산과 같은 취미활동, 그리고 친목단체 활동 등을 선호 한다고 응답한 노인일수록 여가만족도가 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 노인 여가활동에 대한 전국단위의 데이터를 실증적으로 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 맞춤형 여가활동을 제안하고 정책적 지원 방안에 대한 논의를 포함하고 있다.This study aimed to suggest leisure activities and policy-level support in the light of the characteristics and needs among the elderly by examining constraint factors of leisure activities among the elderly. Data of 3887 elderly with the age of 65 and above with economic burden and health problems from the 6th Korean Retirement and Income study were used for the statistical analyses. Hierarchical linear models were tested by entering factors stepswise; demographic factors(age, gender, marriage status, single household, region, living expenses, health status) in the first step, leisure factors(leisure time, leisure motivation) in the second step, and lastly leisure activity factors(desired leisure activities, undesired leisure activities) in the third step. The results were as follows: First, major factors that constrict leisure activities of the elderly were financial burden and health problems. Second, there were significant differences among three(financial constraint, health constraint, and financial and health constraint) groups. Financial constraint group was the highest in the level o f leisure satisfaction but leisure time was the shortest. The major reason to do leisure activities of the financial constraint group was to keep relationships with families and friends. In terms of desired leisure activities, health constraint group wanted resting, financial constraint group wanted hobbies and entertainment, and the financial-and-health constraint group wanted social activities. Third, financial constraint group demonstrated higher levels of leisure activity satisfaction when they wanted to take care of pets or gardens; however, they showed lower levels of leisure activity satisfaction when they wanted to domestic trips for desired leisure activities. In case of health constraint group, they demonstrated lower levels of leisure activity satisfaction whether or not they wanted resting like watching TV or listening to the radio. And, the showed higher levels of leisure activity satisfaction when they wanted social activities such as participation in religion or social gathering organizations. For the financial-and-health constraint group, whereas they showed lower levels of leisure activity satisfaction when they wanted walking around or watching TV, and domestic trips for desired leisure activities, they demonstrated higher levels of leisure activity satisfaction when they wanted entertainment doing the game of go, or chess, and hobbies like hiking and social activities.

신빈곤계층의 생활만족도와 영향요인에 관한 연구

While Korean society has experienced several economic crises over the past few decades, a new class of poverty has emerged, which has been labeled “the new poor.” The current study aims to compare the differences among the new poor, old poor, and non poor, and to investigate the factors influencing the new poor’s life satisfaction. For this purpose, 198 new poor, 78 old poor, and 2,753 non poor samples from the Korean labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) data were selected. The 15th wave collected in 2012 was used for the final analysis. The results are as follows. First, the new poor’s overall life satisfaction and all sub satisfaction dimensions(i.e., leisure activities, housing environment, family relations, social network) were identified at the moderate level, which was significantly higher than that of the old poor, but lower than that of the non poor. Second, there were mean differences among the three groups on economic, social resource, psychological, and socio demographic factors. Third, the new poor’s overall life satisfaction was negatively associated with economic strain but positively associated with physical health status, positive perception of social status mobility, and the presence of a spouse. In particular, based on the results that showed the relationship between positive perception of social status mobility and overall life satisfaction was significantly stronger in the new poor than in the non poor, it was concluded that positive perception of social status mobility is a key factor for improving the new poor’s overall life satisfaction. Fourth, among the new poor, leisure activity satisfaction was negatively influenced by economic strain but positively influenced by subjective social status. Housing environment satisfaction was positively associated with financial support but negatively influenced by economic strain. Family relation satisfaction was positively affected by the presence of a spouse, financial support, subjective social status, physical health status, and positive view. Finally, social network satisfaction was positively associated with total assets and physical health status. Based on these results, implications, suggestions for social work practice and policy makers, and future research directions were discussed.

Risks for depression among ostomates in South Korea.

This study explored the factors that are associated with the depressive status among older adult ostomates in South Korea. The study was a secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional study with 217 ostomates who were aged ≥55 years from September 2, 2013 to October 30, 2013. The general characteristics, daily routines, and depressive status were assessed in order to identify the factors that were contributing to a depressed mood among the older adult ostomates in South Korea. The general characteristics included their sex, age group, educational level, financial status, employment, outing hours, perceived social isolation, leisure activity, and perceived health status. The daily routines included living environment inconvenience, leisure activity satisfaction, body image satisfaction, sleep satisfaction, exercise involvement, intimacy with a spouse, sexual satisfaction, and satisfaction with quality of life. The prevalence of depressive status in older adult ostomates was 50.7%, but 40.8% in the same-age population without an ostomy. The factors that were associated with a depressed mood among the older adult ostomates in South Korea were social isolation, perceived poor health status, perceived low quality of life, dissatisfaction with leisure activities, and poor financial status. The participants' sex, age, and educational level were not associated with depression. Nurses need to encourage older adults with an ostomy to reduce their social isolation and to increase leisure activities by helping them to use resources, such as support groups and psychological support, in collaboration with interdisciplinary team members.
