The paper describes The Narrative Communication Model of Hope Seeking Intervention developed by the authors as an approach to help clients to have individually specific hope experiences. The Model is founded upon the existential conceptualization of hope that views hope as subjective, unique experiences of meaning and processes. The Model has been developed based on the findings both in the literature and the authors' work on the nature of hope and hope experiences and integrating the concept of hope as subjective meanings and experiences, the processes of story-telling and the concept of narrative configuration as a way to engage in person-specific experiences, and person-centered communication. The results of the experiences with the application of the model in a study are used to clarify the model further. The Model incorporating story-telling and narrative construction through person-centered communication is identified in three components-the story-telling, the narrative intervention, and the communication components. These components are processed as an intervention to culminate into person-specific hope experiences in which active participation of clients as the story-teller and of interventionist as the communicative facilitator is required to produce narratives of hope with individual specific thematic plots that become the basis for hope experiences. The application of the Model has shown positive outcomes in clients with successful seeking of own hope experiences. The success of the Model application seems to depend upon interventionists' understanding of the model and the competency with the application of person-centered communication strategies.

사람은 자연계 생물의 한 종(species)으로 태어나 자라고 늙거나 병들어 모두 반드시 죽는 고로 죽음은 생물학적인 존재인 인간에게 나타나는 보편적이고 필연적인 현상이다. 사람의 죽음은 생명 스위치를 끄듯이 일순간에 일어나는 현상이 아니고 일련의 과정을 거친다. 심장이나 폐장 또는 뇌와 같은 생명장기의 기능이 정지되면 생체액의 흐름이 정지되고 이로써 사람을 이루고 있는 모든 장기, 조직 및 세포의 생명현상이 멈추게 된다. 사람을 이루고 있는 세포가 모두 죽는 시간은 아무도 알 수 없기 때문에 사람의 죽음을 판정하는 일은 쉽지 않고 이에 실용적인 생의학적 판정기준이 논의되어 최근에는 뇌사를 죽음의 판정기준으로 하는데 동의하고 있어 "뇌의 기능이 비가역적으로 정지된 상태"는 죽음의 한 측면이다. 자신에게 다가올 죽음을 예측하면서 사는 존재인 사람에게는 이 생물학적인 과정을 거치는 동안 위격인 자아의 종결(consummation of personal self)이 함께 이루어지며 이 과정은 죽는 사람은 물론이고 가족 및 친지에게 있어서도 지극히 주관적인 고유한 경험이다. 죽음의 주체인 사람은 의지의 동물이며, 인간이 희망하고 추구하는 모든 행위는 이 의지의 표현이다. 인간의 의지 가운데 큰 의미를 두는 것은 삶, 특히 "영원한 삶"에 대한 의지여서 인간의 죽음은 의식(儀式)으로 정교하게 가꾸어져 문화가 되었다. 따라서 생의학적인 상태에 지나지 않는 인간의 죽음은 단편적인 사실로서 또는 경험의 과정으로서 뿐 아니라 종교, 관습, 문화적인 요소를 포함하는 거시적이고 포괄적인 종합체계로의 접근으로서 깊은 이해에 이를 수 있다.

The results showed that 65.3% had not visited the dentist within one year, 82.6% had not received scaling within one year, and 68.2% had not received oral health education. In regards to the OHIP-14 according to the general characteristics, there was a significant difference in the school year, health insurance enrollment status and overseas study life satisfaction (p<0.05). In regards to the OHIP-14 according to the oral health care behavior, there was a significant difference in the subjective oral health condition, the experience of having visited a dentist within one year and an experience of having received scaling (p<0.05). As for the influencing factors on the oral health-related quality of life, they were found to be the subjective oral health condition and the experience of having received scaling within one year (p<0.05). For the purpose of helping Chinese foreign students to conveniently use medical institutions when oral health-related problems arise, there is a need for a translated version of the guidebook in their native language, the availability of medical professional interpreters, the availability of a university level oral health service center, and practical oral health education to enhance oral health.
