This study explored the impact of daily hassles and the mediated effect of spiritual well-being and the moderated effect of coping styles on health and depression of middle-aged women. Subjects for this study were 230 Christian midlife women attending in the 10 churches on the metropolitan area. The data was analyzed using path analysis and moderator effect model with the structural equation modeling. Daily hassles are found to act as causes that damage physical or mental health and also elevate the level of depression. Daily hassles have a direct impact on health and depression, and at the same time, they also produce a partial mediation effect on spiritual well-being as a mediation factor. In other words, daily hassles impede spiritual well-being, and the deteriorated spiritual well-being, although its connection to physical health is not clear, is shown to damage mental health and elevate the level of depression. Analysis of coping styles related to the relationship between daily hassles and health and depression showed that, of the 12 coping styles, three, namely, self-criticism, positive interpretation and self-control, produced significant buffering effects. This study hopes to reveal the mediation factors that can minimize negative impact in the relationship between middle-aged women's daily hassles and healthiness and provide the basic material for figuring out practical implications and policy measures regarding the issue.

영적 돌봄을 하는 방법들이 의미하는 것에 대해 제일 먼저 과학이 중요하다는 말을 하면서 시작하겠다. 과학이 중요한 것은 우리가 과학 기술을 이용하여 건강과 질병에 대해 이해하고 질병이 있는 환자들을 치료할 수 있는 방법들을 개발할 수 있도록 도와주기 때문이다. 민감하게 잘 이용한다면 과학은 영성과 건강의 복합적인 관계를 이해할 수 있도록 돕는다. 하지만 과학기술만으로는 환자들에게 좋은 돌봄을 제공할 수 없다는 것이다. 이것이 어떤 의미인지에 대해 우리의 상상력을 동원하여 설명해 보도록 하겠다.

본 연구는 2011년 9월부터 10월까지 부산 경남지역의 병원에 근무하고 있는 간호사 총 153명 간호대학생 총 147 명을 대상으로 설문 조사 수집하였으며, 300 를 배부하여 자료가 불충분한 100 부를 제외하고 최종 200부를 분석하였다. 조사자의 직접방문을 통한 개인별 면담으로 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 건강한 사람보다는 불건강한 즉 질병에 노출된 가능성이 많은 사람들을 간호대상으로 하는 간호학생과 간호사의 영적 요구도를 파악하고 비교하기위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 따라서 향후 연구에서는 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 간호대학생과 간호사의 영적 요구 도를 파악하고 그것을 바탕으로 간호대상자의 영적간호에 더욱 효율적이고 체계화된 교육프로그램 개발이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
