Purpose: This study used a nonequivalent control group pre-post test design to analyze how a death preparation education program helps middle-aged adults deal with life and death anxiety. Methods: We studied 83 adults at the age of 40 to 65 years. An experimental group of 38 people participated in the death preparation education, and a control group of 45 people did not. The death preparation program comprising four sections was given for four hours per week, and the program ran for 11 weeks. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, and ANCOVA using SPSS version 17.0. Results: The death anxiety score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.000). The quality of life did not show significant difference between the experimental and control groups (P=0.188). Conclusion: It was confirmed that the death preparation education program is effective in alleviating death anxiety. Although the program was confirmed as a necessity for the middle-aged adults, repeated observations with a wider range of experimental group is needed to collect objective and solid data. Death preparation education for middle-aged adults is expected to be more widely provided, starting from local health facilities.

This study aimed to explore the trajectories of economic preparations for the aging among people with physical disabilities and to identify the determinants according to the Andersen model. For this study, data were drawn from Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED). A total of 1,847 samples were used from the second to the eighth wave. Latent class growth model was conducted to explore the longitudinal change classes for the disabled, and the multinominal logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the influence of the determinants. As a result, four classes were identified: preparation decrease group, continuous non-preparation group, preparation increase group, and continuous preparation group. Each group was found to be associated deferentially with education level, family income, socioeconomic status, employment, home ownership, national basic livelihood security recipient status, and ADL. These findings proposed the practical and political implications for the strategies concerned with facilitating the economic preparations for the aging among the disabled.
