The purpose of this study is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the experiences of shift nurses who are pregnant while on duty. The specific research question is, 'What is the meaning of pregnancy experienced by a shift nurse?' For this study, six nurses with experience working at a general hospital while pregnant participated. Data was collected through individual in-depth interviews and analyzed by van Manen's phenomenological methodology. The result of the study uncovered 8 themes and 4 essential themes. The essential themes were 'Difficulty feeling free to conceive'; 'Becoming more conscious of coworkers'; 'Concern about the health of the fetus'; and 'Requirement for effective measures.' The results of this study are significant in providing a convergent understanding of the pregnancy experiences of shift nurses.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of shift nurses' mealtime experience on duty. This study was explored by hermeneutic phenomenological analytic method suggested by van Manen. The participants were shift nurses at two general hospitals in Korea. Six participants were interviewed until information reached saturation point. Data was collected through individual in-depth interviews. The results of study were emerged 7 themes. Each theme was :'Forgetting hunger.', 'Fatigue takes precedence over hunger.', 'Feeling sorry and becoming conscious of other colleagues.', 'Inhale the meal in a short time.', 'Conflicting between responsibility for the patient body and my body', 'They want look for freedom and right through their mealtime.', 'Hope that mealtime is a precious time.' The results of this study are significant in providing a convergence understanding of the working environment of the shift nurses.

Managing waiting experience is critical for providing service because waiting is an inevitable experience. We explored the factors which influence the waiting experience of the customers and the experience they face, in order to find out the meaning of waiting experience of the customer. As a result, we investigated a holistic sequence divided into four stages. When the customers wait for the service, perceived time would be increased by Zeigarnik effect. How long the customers feel when waiting is largely affected by a gap between waiting time and the perceived time, rather than the perceived time itself. Furthermore, the customers showed a tendency to have hard time immersing in the media due to considering others. Additionally, we could find that waiting time after giving an order is relatively more important than the waiting time before the order. Based on the results, the service provider should convey a feeling of completion by fitting the end point of the media to the point when the customer receives the service. In addition, high predictability needs to be offered for the customers in order to predict the exact waiting time. Finally, the customers should feel as if they take the initiative during waiting time.

This study was a qualitative study performed to understand the nature and structure of the suicide attempt process experienced by maladjustment soldiers. The survey participants targeted 10 soldiers who entered 'Camp Green' due to lack of duty by the 00 Corps of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Prefecture. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews from October 2016 to September 2017 and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The suicide attempt process by maladjusted soldiers was delineated into four categories such as 'A prison without bars', 'Walk on eggshells', 'A pretentious series of life', and 'A life of desperation'; 9 theme clusters; and 25 themes. As a result, maladjusted soldiers had a generally negative experience related to military culture. Soldiers who fail to adapt to military culture will show extreme behavior unless they are able to overcome their depression. Unless specific understanding of the suicide attempt process is attained, the suicide prevention policies of mission-maladjusted soldiers will be ineffective. The results of this study hope to serve as the basis for a suicide prevention and nursing intervention program.

지난 해 금강수계 강수량은 835.0mm로 평년('81~'10)의 64.3%, 삽교천수계는 765.1mm로 평년의 61.1% 정도로 매우 적었다. 특히 작년 6월부터 9월까지의 금강수계 강수량은 343.1mm로 평년 894.8mm의 38.3%, 삽교천수계 강수량은 301.1mm로 평년 860.6mm의 35.0% 수준으로 일반적으로 연간 강수량의 2/3가 여름철에 집중되는 현상과는 매우 다른 양상을 보이며 충남 서북부지역 8개 시 군은 최악의 가뭄을 겪었다. 따라서 작년 가을에는 전국적으로 가뭄이 만연한 가운데에서도 충남 서북부 8개 시 군에는 8월말부터 시작된 물 절약 캠페인에 이어서 10월8일부터 물 사용량 20%를 줄이기 위한 급수조정이 시작돼 지역주민들의 일상생활이 제약을 받기 시작하였다. 수도꼭지를 틀어보아도 시원한 물줄기를 볼 수 있은 지가 오래되었고 목욕이나 세차 등으로 충분히 물 쓰는 것이 눈치가 보일뿐더러 마실 물 걱정까지 해야 하는 상황이었다. 그리고, 금강수계 대부분의 생활용수 및 공업용수 공급을 담당하는 대청댐의 상황도 2015년 9월말 기준 누적 강수량은 536.7mm로 전년 강수량 791.6mm 대비 67.8%, 예년 강수량 1,077.5mm의 대비 49.8% 수준으로 강수량이 매우 적은 상황이었다. 9월말 기준으로 대청댐의 '15년 누적 강수량은 1981년 댐 운영 이후 가장 최소이며, 2순위로 9월말 누적 강수량이 적었던 해는 1994년이며 이 때 누적 강수량은 543.8mm, 3순위로 적었던 해는 1982년으로 이 해는 585.8mm였다. 대청댐의 저수위 현황을 살펴보면 6월말에 예년 수준과 비슷한 수위로 운영하였지만 7월말부터 예년보다 수위가 낮아지기 시작하여 8월 이후에는 예년과 격차가 나기 시작하였고 작년 10월 중순에는 1981년 댐 운영 이후 3번째로 낮은 저수율을 보이고 있는 상황이었다. 따라서, 이러한 상황에 대처하기 위해 6월부터 실수요량 수준으로 용수를 공급하기 시작하였고 8월말부터 농업용수 공급량 중 일부를 감량하였고 10월부터는 생공용수만 하루 1,987,200톤으로 계획하여 공급하면서 '16년 우기 전까지 최대한 저수량을 확보하면서 용수공급을 지속할 수 있도록 운영하였다. 본 연구에서는 '15년 강수량 부족으로 상당한 어려움을 겪은 충남지역을 중심으로 가뭄 현황을 분석하고, 충남 서북부지역의 주요 공급원인 보령댐과 기타 충남지역의 주수원인 대청댐의 운영현황과 가뭄상황을 타개하기 위해 추진한 방안 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

This paper aims at exploring the characteristics and meanings of religious freedom controversy surrounding religious education, with special reference to proselytism, in protestant mission school in recent Korea. Most of protestant mission schools have been providing students compulsory religion class and chapel service in the name of religious education. According to the school authorities, religious education should be provided for the realization of founding philosophy, and they say that mission school has the right to religious education. On the contrary, many non-christian students argue that their religious liberty is seriously violated by required religious education especially compulsory chapel worship. So serious conflicts broke between mission school authorities and students. Supreme Court decided that Soongsil University has the right to maintain compulsory chapel service, ruling that Daegwang High School should not maintain required chapel worship. It seems that Supreme Court gave different decisions to high school and university respectively, considering the differences between high school and university in application for admission to a school, students' critical consciousness, school's autonomous rights, etc. However, these precedents are being challenged by many peoples and groups. There are three agents which are involved in religious freedom controversy in mission school. The first are mission school authorities supported by religious groups, the second government supported by political parties, and the third mission school students guided by NGO. Among them protestant groups are playing the major role in making religious freedom problems in mission school. Protestant groups try to convert mission school students to protestantism by compulsory chapel service and religion class. Such a protestant proselytism becomes a cause of oppressing students' human rights and religious liberty. In this situation government has a responsibility to protect the students' rights to religious freedom. But government seldom impose sanctions on the protestant mission schools' compulsory programs. The reason why government does not restrict mission school's unlawful religious education is because protestant groups have strong influence in voting. Eventually civil movements organizations involved in religious freedom controversy for the sake of students's human rights. In conclusion, the assailment is protestant proselytism, the accessory is government, the victim is students in the religious education in mission school in recent Korea.
