Methods: The subjects were 201 clinical nurses from three different general hospitals in B city. Data were collected from May 26 to August 9, 2012 and analyzed by using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, Sheff$\acute{e}$ test, and Partial correlation coefficients. Results: The mean scores of self-efficacy, spiritual well-being, and job stress were moderate, 3.50, 3.58, and 3.44 respectively.

목적: 본 연구는 자궁경부암 환자의 삶의 질을 파악하고, 질병 진행 단계와 치료 형태에 따른 삶의 질을 분석하는데 있다. 방법: 자료 수집은 3개의 종합병원에서 자궁경부암 환자 67명을 대상으로 하였으며, 자료수집 기간은 3월 15일부터 6월 4일까지 이었다. 연구 도구로는 Ferrell[18]의 삶의 질-암 환자용 도구(Quality of Life-cancer version)를 번역하여, 자궁경부암 환자에게 맞지 않는 4문항을 제외한 총 37문항으로 사용하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 통계프로그램을 이용하여, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test로 검증하였고 도구의 신뢰도 검증은 Cronbach's Alpha를 산출하였다. 결과: 자궁경부암 환자의 질병 진행 단계에 따른 삶의 질 정도는 유의한 차이가 있었다.(F=5.06, P=.003) 질병 진행 단계에 따른 영역별 삶의 질 정도에서는 신체적 안녕 영역(F=3.97 P=.012), 정신적 안녕 영역(F=3.91, P=.013), 사회적 안녕 영역(F=4.96, P=.004)에는 유의한 차이를 보였으나, 영적 안녕 영역(F=1.36, P=.262)은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 치료 형태에 따른 삶의 질정도는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.(t=-1.83, P=.073) 치료 형태에 따른 영역별 삶의 질정도에서는 정신적 안녕 영역(t=-2.14, P=.037), 사회적 안녕 영역(t=-2.15, P=.036)에는 유의한 차이를 보였으나, 신체적 안녕 영역(t=-.93, P=.356), 영적 안녕 영역(t=.73, P=.469)에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 자궁경부암 환자의 삶의 질은 질병 진행단계와 치료 형태 및 일반적 특성에 따라 차이가 있었다. 그러므로 자궁경부암 환자에게 질병 진행 단계와 치료 형태 및 일반적 특성을 고려한 간호 중재를 적용할 필요가 있다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to measure the degree of uncertainty in illness, hope, and spiritual well-being and to examine the relationship among uncertainty in illness, hope, and spiritual well-being of cancer patients. Method: The data were derived from answers to questionnaires obtained from 93 cancer patients at one general hospital in J area from April 6, 2004 to May 8, 2004. The collected data were analyzed by SSPS 10.0. Results: The mean score of uncertainty in illness of cancer patients was 55.96. The mean score of hope of cancer patients was 79.77, and spiritual well-being was 55.20. Uncertainty in illness of cancer patients was related negatively to hope(r=-.57, p=.000). Also uncertainty in illness of cancer patients was related negatively to spiritual well-being(r=-.57, p=.000). However, hope of cancer patients was related positively to spiritual well-being(r=.67, p=.000). Conclusion: Higher uncertainty in illness was related to lower hope and spiritual well-being of cancer patients. Based upon these results, nurses should help patients to improve their hope and spiritual well-being through mediation of uncertainty in illness.

Purpose: This was a correlation study to identify the relationship of spiritual well-being, hope on fatigue in cancer patients on chemotherapy. Methods: The subjects completed structured questionnaires: the 'Spiritual Well-being Scale', developed by Paloutzian & Ellison, 'Hope Scale', developed by Kim & Lee and 'Fatigue Scale', developed by Mendoza et al. Data were collected from 120 patientsat two general hospitals and were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA & Sheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple stepwise regression. Results: Participants with higher fatigue had lower scores for hope (r=-.36, p<.001) and lower scores for spiritual well-being (r=-.23, p=.011). Participants with higher scores for hope had higher scores for spiritual well-being (r=.61, p<.001). The factors seen as contributing to fatigue were hope, financial burden of treatment, period of religious life, living with spouse, and reported pain. These variables explained 32.3% of the variance in fatigue. Hope with 13% was the most influential. Conclusion: The fatigue of the cancer patients on chemotherapy can be reduced if hope is improved, and hope can be improved if the spiritual well-being is improved. Therefore, we suggest developing a nursing intervention program that leads to improve hope and spiritual well-being of the cancer patients on chemotherapy for reducing fatigue.

Method: The data for this study were collected from 62 patients who were admitted to the hospice care unit from July 28, 2002 to October 31, 2002 in D city K hospital. Subjects were 31 members of the experimental group and 31 members of the control group. It was devised with a nonequivalent control group pretest posttest design. The spiritual nursing intervention was given by using the therapeutic use of self. Scripture. prayer. Hymn and music. use of church community involvement and referrals to pastors according to the assessment of patients' spiritual needs for 3 weeks(total 12 times and 1 hour per each intervention). Sangsoon Choi (1990) and Jungho Kang(1996)'s spiritual well being scale. which was modified from Palautzian and Ellison (1982)'s spiritual well being scale, was used to investigate patients' spiritual well being. To investigate the level of depression. OkHyun Song(1977)'s Depression Scale, which was modified from Zung(1965)'s Depression Inventory, was used. Data were analyzed by $x^2$-test. t-test. and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS/Win 10.0 program. Results: 1. The 1st hypothesis. 'total spiritual well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported (F=6.28, p=0.015, Interaction: p=0.000). 2. The 1 lst sub hypothesis, 'religious well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported(F=12.75, p=0.001 Interaction: p=0.000). 3. The 1 2nd sub hypothesis, 'existential well being score in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be higher than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported(F=6.87, p=0.016, Interaction: p=0.000). 4. The 2nd hypothesis, 'depression level in the experimental group, who received the spiritual nursing intervention, will be lower than the control group who did not receive the spiritual nursing intervention' was supported (F=10.45, p=0.002, Interaction: p=0.000). Conclusion: From the above results, spiritual nursing intervention was an effective program to improve the spiritual well being state and decrease the depression levels of the hospice patients. In the future, with spiritual intervention. which the researcher developed, is applied in the nursing field, the hospice patients can have comprehensive well being including spiritual well being and die peacefully.
