본 연구는 여성 ACOAs의 부모역할에 관한 연구로써, 부모역할에 영향을 주 는 원가족 부모와의 애착, 우울, 부부관계를 중심으로 원가족 부모와의 애착 이 부모역할에 영향을 미치는 관계에서 우울과 부부관계의 매개효과를 검증 하고자 하였다. 자료수집은 2010년 10월 25일부터 11월 30일까지 이루어졌으 며, 총 1,889명의 초등학생 자녀를 양육하고 있는 어머니를 대상으로 자기기 입식의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 중에서 1,224명이 조사에 참여하였으며, 본 연구의 대상자인 여성 ACOAs 342명의 설문지만이 최종분석에 활용되었다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 여성 ACOAs의 우울은 원가족 부모와의 애착과 부모역 할 사이에서 부분매개효과를 지니며 이는 통계적으로 유의미한 것으로 나타 난 반면에, 부부관계의 매개효과는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타 났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 여성 ACOAs의 부모역할을 위한 사회복지적 개입방안에 대해서 논의하였다.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to examine the relation between problem drinking of Korean adults and related factors such as health risk behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health and to confirm mediated effects of mental health that have become serious social problems recently. Methods: This study constructed and examined a structural model with the problem drinking, health risk behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health targeting 263 problem drinkers without missing values in the health behaviors, health status, quality of life and mental health among the problem drinkers (8 and more scores in AUDIT) in raw data of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009. Results: First, in the male subjects, there was a significant direct path from the subjective health status to the mental health (standardized coefficient: β =.20, C.R.=2.248, p<.025), and there was also a direct path of mental health on the problem drinking (standardized coefficient: β=-.23, C.R.=-2.857, p<.004). Second, in the female subjects, there was a significant direct path of quality of life on the problem drinking (standardized coefficient: β=-.24, C.R.=-2.324, p<.020), and the direct effect of quality of life on mental health also showed a significant path (standardized coefficient: β=.37, C.R.=3.823, p<.001). Third, as a result of examining the mediated effects of mental health on the problem drinking, in the female subjects, the mediated effect was not found. However, in the male subjects, the path that the subjective mental status had a significant impact on the problem drinking through the mental health as complete mediation was found (p=.028). Conclusion: This study examined the relation between the problem drinking and related factors that have been fragmentarily reported previously more deeply and systematically through the use of the structural equation model. In addition, it confirmed the mediated effects of mental health in the relation between the problem drinking and subjective health status.
