Although the relationship between social relationships and mental health is well established, debate continues about the relative importance of specific sources (spouses, children, relatives, friends) as well as of positive and negative interactions. The authors examined the associations of positive, negative, and ambivalent interactions with life satisfaction and depressive symptoms for spouses, children, relatives, and friends, using data from the 2008 Health and Retirement Study ( N = 6,418).

AIMS: The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of either hearing, vision or dual sensory impairment on depressive symptoms and to identify subgroups that are vulnerable and significantly affected. METHODS: Data from the 2006-2014 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) were used and a total of 5832 individuals were included in this study. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D10) scale. Sensory impairment was assessed accor

Both giving and receiving were positively related to the psychological well-being of older adults. Our results provide support for identity theory and equity theory as frameworks for understanding intergenerational exchange and well-being of older Koreans.

We investigate how preloss marital quality is associated with changes in psychological distress and physical health among older widow(er)s. Using prospective data with a 2-year follow-up from the Health and Retirement Study, we selected 546 respondents who transitioned into widowhood. Respondents were classified as supportive, ambivalent, aversive, or neutral groups. The supportive and ambivalent group experienced greater increase in depressive symptoms compared to the aversive group, in widowho

Objective: We examined whether older adults’ health and well-being during their final year of life predicts end-of-life (EOL) quality of life (QOL) and quality of care (QOC). Methods: Using data from deceased participants ( n = 1125) in the 2011–2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study, we performed latent class analysis to identify profiles of health and well-being, and we examined the association between these classes and EOL QOL and QOC. Results: Four classes were identified: healthy/happy

Objective We examined the formal and informal advance care planning (ACP) patterns of older couples and determined how these patterns are associated with individual and spousal characteristics. Methods Using data from the 2014 and 2016 Health and Retirement Study, we performed latent class analysis to identify ACP patterns and multinomial regression models to describe characteristics of older couples ( N = 2195 couples). Results We identified four ACP patterns: high engaging couple (47%); high e

We examined the relationship between self-reported and assessed mental health status and service use, using data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 9,547). Twelve percent and thirty percent had inaccurate perceptions of their mood and memory status, respectively. No significant difference was found in the likelihood of service use between older adults who were unaware of current depressive symptoms and those who self-reported problems but had no assessed symptoms. Older adults who scored

1876년 조일수호조규로 새로운 외교 체제에 편입된 조선은, 일본의 정세 탐색과 세관 등의 문제로 1880년 제2차 수신사를 파견하였다. 그동안 이 수신사는 주로 황준헌의 『조선책략』과 연관하여 연구되어지거나, 정사 김홍집 개인의 정치활동 중 일부분으로 간략히 언급되었다. 이는 제2차 수신사의 자료가 산재되어 연구가 용이하지 않았기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 본고에서는 이를 고려하여 박상식의 『동도일사』, 김홍집의 『수신사일기』, 『흥아회보고』 그리고 당시의 일본 신문을 바탕으로 실제 제2차 수신사가 일본에서 무엇을 어떻게 견문하였는지 구체적으로 살펴보고, 그 의의를 밝히고자 한다. 『동도일사』에서 일기를 썼던 향서기 박상식은 기존의 중화주의적 시선으로 일본인들을 바라보았으며, 근대 문물을 제대로 설명하지 못하였을 뿐 아니라 이해하려 하지 않았다. 또한 수신정사 김홍집도 흔히 개화파라 일컬어지지만 일본에서의 활동은 소극적이었다. 유람을 권하는 일본인들을 거절하며 견문을 공적인 신분으로는

South Korea implemented interventions to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with discovery of the first case in early 2020. Mathematical modeling designed to reflect the dynamics of disease transmission has been shown to be an important tool for responding to COVID-19. This study aimed to review publications on the structure, meth od, and role of mathematical models focusing on COVID-19 transmission dynamics in Korea. In total, 42 papers published be tween

There are lots of materials on Susinsa and Official Observation Mission in Korea and Japan. Although the lists and articles were published by some researchers, we should investigate the data research more, and organize the materials. This research should be more detailed with translation tasks. With this study, you can find aspects of early modern Korean and Japanese mutual perception with a variety of angles through the various layers of materials. As I showed the samples of the data, during Su

An Aspect of The First Susinsa, Envoy to Meiji Japan in late 19th Century viewed based on Koukanhitsukei Lee, Hyo-Jeong Upon the Chosun-Japan Treaty of 1876, the first Susinsa of Chosun recovered the rupture of diplomatic relations between Chosun and Japan for 60 years and experienced the new modern civilization as a national delegation. The studies of Susinsa have been conducted mainly on the basis of Ildonggiyu, the official history written by Kim Ki-su. Although Changsagihaeng and recent tran

『使和記略』은 1882년 박영효가 特命全權大臣兼修信使의 직함으로 일본에 사행하면서 기록한 일기형식의 외교 기록이다. 본고에서는 박영효의 파견 배경과 사행 중 외교활동을 살펴보고, 이러한 그의 사행 활동이 『사화기략』 속에 어떻게 투영되어 기록되었는지 분석하고자 한다. 일반에는 국사편찬위원회에서 간행한 『사화기략』이 해행총재 시리즈로 국역되면서 가장 널리 알려져 왔지만, 본고에서는 부산대본의 의미도 제시하였다. 박영효 사행의 배경을 살펴보면, 임오군란 후속 조치로써 체결한 제물포조약의 비준문서를 교환하고 양국의 우호를 새롭게 하자는 명분도 있었지만, 당시 조선 조정이 심각한 재정난을 겪었던 상황이었기에 일본과 서양에서 차관을 도입하려는 목적도 있었다. 또한 고종은 군란으로 친청 세력이 득세하자 이를 견제하기 위해 박영효를 비롯한 친일 개화파 관료들을 수신사로 발탁하였다. 박영효는 차관 문제 해결뿐 아니라 조약체결을 위해 서양의 각국 외교관들과 활발히 교섭하였는데, 그의 이러한 활동은
