This study was conducted to identify the factors related to the cancer preventive behaviors of middle aged women. The data was collected from October $1^{st}$ 2012 to February $10^{th}$ 2013 from 114 middle aged women in four churches in B city. As a result, there were significant differences in the cancer preventive behaviors according to cancer preventive education, concerns about cancer information and the utilization of cancer information. The cancer preventive behaviors were weakly related to the internal health locus of the control, chance health locus of the control and self-esteem. In addition, there was moderate correlation between the cancer preventive behaviors and the external health locus of the control. Meaningful variables that explain the cancer preventive behaviors were the external health locus of the control, self-esteem, cancer preventive education in that order. The total explanation power was 25.3% and the external health locus of the control has most explanation power. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop nursing intervention and health education for middle aged women to raise the internal health locus of the control and self-esteem, and encourage attending cancer preventive education to improve the preventive behaviors against cancer.

It is widely recognized that human beings have moral responsibility for their actions because they have free will to choose and control their acts. Unlike natural phenomena, however, human acts cannot be interpreted with simple, visible ones. Human acts are quite different from natural phenomena because they come about through a number of complicated, invisible phases taking place in our mind. In addition, human actions are under the influence of internal and external factors. Those various internal and external factors are divided into four sectors as follows; (1) the factors that can fall under control of our free will, (2) the factors in the interim phase that could come under our control, (3) the factors that are partially determined that we cannot choose or control over, and (4) the factors that completely determined, and can't be chosen or controlled. we have to pay attention to the fact that we can choose or control the internal and external factors that influence human action. However, there are still factors that are impossible to choose or control with our will. So it is highly unreasonable to hold accountable for actors by means of the factors that can't be chosen or controlled. Hence, the society should be also accountable for the acts of actors influenced by heredity and environment. For this, Politics should affect the external, undesirable, and uncontrollable factors beyond actors power. Education has to exert its influence over the internal and genetic factors by instilling sound values in human mind, too. It is because happy and desirable future will be possible by giving equal opportunities to us including the youth.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to research caregiver trainees, and to understand the degree of subjective quality of life and internal and external locus control, and to examine the relationships between these variables. Method: The subjects of the research were 348 trainees at a Jeonju city caregiver training center. The subjective quality of life and the characteristics of locus control were used as measuring tools. The collected data was analyzed by the SAS 9.1 program. Result: The degree of subjective quality of life was significantly different according to the general characteristics of age (F=2.83, p=0.02), marital status (F=3.34, p=0.01), and willingness to work (F=3.94, p=0.05). The degree of internal locus control was significantly different according to the general characteristic of marital status (F=3.0 p=0.01). External locus control was significantly different according to the general characteristics of age (F=9.77, p=0.00), occupation (F=2.91, p=0.01), educational level (F=9.65, p=0.00), monthly income (F=3.81, p=0.00), educational institution (F=2.06, p=0.04), educational experience (F=4.15, p=0.00), and subjects willingness to work (t=8.71, p=0.00). A significant correlation was identified between the subjective quality of life and internal locus control (r=0.23, p=0.0001). Conclusion: A significant correlation was shown between subjective quality of life and internal locus control of the caregiver trainees.

국가 경제가 발달하면서 개인이나 법인의 영리추구도 점점 더 과학적이고 실리적인, 그러면서도 사회에 대한 공익성을 망각함이 없이, 내적인 면에서나 외적인 면에서나 진지한 발전을 계속해야 한다. 실리적인 면을 외면하며는 그 영리단위(營利單位)는 경쟁자에게 낙후되어 몰락될 것이며, 후자의 비중을 전자보다 지나치게 추구하는 것은 영리 단체의 기본 목적에 위배되는 것으로서, 양계업의 경우 산란계에 있어서 현재 가치가 500원 밖에 안되는 닭을 600원의 치료비를 들여가며 도태를 꺼리는 넌센스와 다를바 없는 것이다. 지난호의 판매부 체크에 이어서 이번에는 생산부를 체크해 보기로 하자. 영리단체의 목적이나 결과가 그의 번영에 있다면, 담당부서의 업무체계와 관리계획의 수립과 통제, 각 부서간의 빈틈없는 연락과 협조는 그 단체의 번영의 밑거름이 되는 것으로서 이의 비능률적인 운영은 귀하의 영리단체를 모래위에 쌓는 성(城)의 단계까지 이르게할지도 모르는 것이다.

Method: Research phases designed for this study were a literature review, scale development, discussion with experts, pre-test for content validity, and survey for construct validity and reliability. The scale was composed of 20 items on 4 point Likert scale and was tested on middle aged Korean-Americans (110) and Koreans (105) living in a community. Result: As the result of factor analysis, 7 dimensions were identified that were similar yet different from the original dimensions. They included health literacy, socialbelonging and gender role, self-perception, health policy participation, socio-cultural interpersonal relationships, spiritual comfort, and socioeconomic involvement. The total variances explained 59.73%. The reliability was .736 of Cronbach's alpha. The mean PPHC was not different in age, gender, economic status and disease presence, but significantly different in country where living, religion, education level, job presence, and emigration period. The increased power group perceived more wellbeing and less depression, high internal locus of control and increased power with others.
