The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of employees' physical attractiveness in foodservice companies on interpersonal relationship, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior and the moderating effect of gender and company types. Based on total 553 samples obtained from the empirical research, this study reviewed reliability and the fitness of a research model and verified total 3 hypotheses using the Amos program. The hypothesized relationships in the model were tested simultaneously by using a structural equation model(SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the data, $x^2$(df 179)=627.230, p<0.01, CMIN/DF 3.504, RMR 0.228, GFI 0.903, AGFI 0.875, NFI 0.935, CFI 0.953, RMSEA 0.067. SEM resulted that the employees' physical attractiveness(face attractiveness: $\beta=0.213$; body attractiveness: $\beta=0.111$) showed a significant effect on interpersonal relationship, and interpersonal relationship($\beta=0.375$) had a significant effect on job satisfaction. Also, job satisfaction($\beta=0.756$) had a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior. As a result of analyzing the moderating role, the effect of the employees' physical attractiveness in foodservice companies on interpersonal relationship, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior was moderated by both of gender and company types. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

This study tested the roles of public self-consciousness, body surveillance, body shame, and body dissatisfaction based on culture cultivation theory and self-objectification theory with the aim of revealing the psychological mechanisms underlying the influence of media exposure on diet intention. As a result of conducting a survey on 350 women in their twenties and performing structural equation modeling, this study found that media exposure causes public self-consciousness, which increases body surveillance and body shame, thereby increasing body dissatisfaction and thus increasing diet intention. In addition, public self-consciousness indirectly influenced body shame through body surveillance. Body surveillance was found to have an indirect effect on diet intention through body dissatisfaction, whereas body shame had a direct effect on diet intention. Based on the results, we presented theoretical and practical implications of this study and suggestions for future research.

Antidepressants are used by substantial number of physicians as well as psychiatrists. Antidepressants are the mainstay of treatment of depression combined with physical illness, neuropathic pain, and various psychosomatic disorders. Antidepressants, especially TCA and SSRI, are superior to placebo in treating comorbid depression and pain of physical illness. Although it has been controversial whether the influence of depression on the risk and outcome of physical illness is true, antidepressants would provide more favorable prognosis and better quality of life for the patients with physical illness.

A comprison was made regarding perceived family support among patients with somatoform disorders, psychosomatic disorders and depressive disorders. The subjects included 49 patients with somatoform disorders, 43 patients with psychosomatic disorders, and 50 patients with depressive disorders. Perceived social support-family scale was used to measure the extent of family support. The patients with somatoform disorders were significantly lower in family support than the patients with psychosomatic disorders. However, no significant differences were found between patients with somatoform disorders and those with depressive disorders, as well as between patients with psychosomatic disorders and those with depressive disorders. Patients with older age had significantly higher scores on family support than those with younger age. Married patients were significantly higher in family support than unmarried ones. These results suggest that low family support may be associated with either the etiology or the sequelae of somatization. Thus, it is emphasized that the role of family support is essential in evaluation and treatment of somatization. In addition, longitudinal studies will be required to investigate the causative role of low family support in somatization.

이제까지 죽어가는 이들이 경험하는 일반적인 증상을 언급하였다. 어떤이들에게는 이런 증상이 거의 없고 어떤이에게는 증상이 심하다. 간호원은 좋은 환자/가족 간호를 위해 신체, 정서, 영적 증상 관리를 잘 해야 하나 우선적으로 신체 증상 관리가 이루어져야 하며 이를 도외시한 정서적, 영적 관리는 옳지 않다. 환자의 문제는 단순하지 않고 여러 원인이 복합될 수 있기에 주의 깊게 관찰하고 사정해야 좋은 간호중재를 계획하고 실천할 수 있으며 이를 통해 환자는 보다 편안하게 남은 생을 보낼 수 있게 된다. 간호원은 천국의 문턱을 장식하는 하느님의 부름받은 사자이다.

노화는 모든 사람에게 공통적으로 일어나는 자연스러운 현상이다. 그러나 이에 따른 신체적인 변화는 각 개인에 따라, 그리고 한 개인 안에서조차 각종 장기별로 다양한 속도로 진행된다. 노년기의 생리적인 변화는 예비용량(reserve capacity)의 저하에 따라 외부의 스트레스에 대처하여 항상성을 유지하는 능력이 감소되어 나타나게 된다. 안정적 상태에서 기능수준에는 큰 변화가 없으나 활동상태의 기능 수준은 연령증가에 따라 상당히 저하되는 것을 보여준다. 노년기의 생리적 변화에 따라 직병에 대한 감수성은 증가하나 대다수의 만성퇴행성질환은 특정 병리현상에 의해 발생하며 노화가 직접적인 원인으로 작용하지는 않는 것으로 알려지고 있다.
