본 연구는 중년층에게 시공간 제약 없이 가정에서도 노년기 준비교육을 받을 수 있도록 개발된 웹기반 노년기 준비프로그램에 대한 학습효과를 평가함으로써 예비 노년층을 위한 노년기 준비교육의 효율적인 학습전략을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상자는 대구지역에 거주하는 만 40-59세의 중년층(실험군 36명, 대조군 34명) 70명이었으며, 자료수집기간은 2008년 3월부터 11월까지로 연구변수는 노인에 대한 지식과 태도, 노년기 생활설계를 조사하였다. 자료분석은 서술통계, χ²-test, t-test, repeated measure ANOVA 분석을 이용하였으며, 일반적 특성, 연구변수에 대한 동질성 검정과 학습효과를 파악하였다. 본 연구결과, 실험군과 대조군간 측정시기에 따른 노인에 대한 지식과 태도, 노년기 생활설계에서 측정시기별, 그룹 간과 그룹 내에서 통계적으로 유의한 변화를 나타냈다. 결론적으로 본 프로그램은 중년층으로 하여금 자신의 노년기를 예측하고 준비하여 노후설계를 할 수 있도록 지지하였으며, 원하면 언제든지 노년기 준비교육이 가능하도록 유도하였다.

Purpose: This study examined factors influencing death anxiety in the middle aged. Method: This was a descriptive survey study. Data were collected from September to October, 2011, from 410 middle- aged adults. The questionnaires solicited information on death anxiety, health behavior, depression, life satisfaction, and family function. Analysis of data was performed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Average scores were 2.53 for death anxiety, 3.02 for health behavior, 4.44 for depression, 10.13 for life satisfaction, and 3.77 for family function. Statistically significant negative correlations were observed between health behavior and death anxiety, life satisfaction and death anxiety, and family function and death anxiety. However, from the statistical point of view the correlation between depression and death anxiety was a significantly positive. In addition, statistically significant positive correlations were observed between depression and death anxiety. Depression, life satisfaction, and family function were significant predictors of death anxiety. Conclusion: Multilateral nursing intervention is needed for maintenance of the health of middle aged adults.

The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism involved in predicting the Quality of Life (QOL) of middle.aged Koreans. The QOL was measured by integrating life satisfaction indicators. To accomplish this, a survey data set was drawn from a convenient sample of 670 individuals during the period of January and February 2011. To differentiate the influences from the different life domains, stepwise multiple regressions were attempted. In our results, the SES indicators, personal mental health, physical health, social capital resources from family as well as job places, perceived local government services, and the current living conditions to determine QOL, explained 55% of the total variance. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated the complex mechanisms that explain QOL in terms of ecological predictors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify aging anxiety and influencing factors of middle-aged adults. Methods: Descriptive correlation design was used. Three hundred and three middle-aged adults participated in the study and completed the questionnaires in the period from September 11 to October 15 of 2011. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchial multiple regression analysis. Results: Aging anxiety of middle-aged adults was higher than a moderate level. Socio-demographic variables such as age, religion, education, economic level, perceived health status and experience of living with older adults influenced significantly on aging anxiety. In contrast, general self-efficacy, aging knowledge and attitude toward older adults were negatively correlated with aging anxiety. Hierarchial multiple regression analysis incorporating these variables showed an explanation rate of aging anxiety at 21%. And religion, perceived health status, attitude toward older adults, and general self-efficacy were statistically significant among variables that influence on aging anxiety. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that senior preparation programs that can enhance self-efficacy, induce positive attitude on older adults and promote health should be implemented to reduce aging anxiety of middle-aged adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of self efficacy, and health related hardiness on a health promoting lifestyle of middle-aged people Method: The study was designed as a descriptive survey study. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire which included general characteristics, measure of self efficacy, health related hardiness, and health promoting lifestyle. Data collection was done between May and August, 2007 with 197 middle-aged participants. Result: The average score of the participants for self efficacy was 34.78, for health related hardiness 57.01 and for a health promoting lifestyle 127.53. There were positive correlations between self efficacy and a health promoting lifestyle, health related hardiness and a health promoting lifestyle, and self efficacy and health related hardiness. The correlations were statistically significant. Health related hardiness was a significant predictors of a health promoting lifestyle. Conclusion: A strategy for improving self efficacy and health related hardiness should be developed and a nursing intervention program should also be provided based on the developed strategy of middle-aged people.

Purpose: This study was designed to find the correlations between physical activity and insulin resistance of the middle-aged adults. Methods: One hundred thirty one subjects participated in this study were age 40-60 from Y university's center for physical exercise in W city. The data were collected from August 5 to October 5, 2009. To measure physical activity, the contracted Korean version of the Self-Report of Physical Activity Questionnaires of IPAQ was used. Insulin resistance was measured using fasting glucose levels, serum insulin levels, and HOMA method (serum insulin${\times}$fasting glucose/22.5). Results: The continuous physical activity overall in this study was on average $1,792.30{\pm}2,216.81$ MET (min/week), and as a result of categorical classification: no activity was 66 subjects (50.4%); minimum activity, 41 (31.3%); and health-improving activity, 24 (18.3%), respectively. The overall degree of insulin resistance in these subjects was $2.20{\pm}2.62$(0.28-12.74). There was negative correlation between moderate intensity activity and insulin resistance (r= -.189, p<.05). Conclusion: These results revealed that promoting moderate-intensity physical activity is important in preventing and improving insulin resistance and possibly other metabolic risk factors in the middle-aged adults.

중년기여성의 문화복지로서 한국무용의 효과성에 대한 연구이다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 질적인 접근(qualitative approach)하였고, 자료 수집기간은 2016년 2월 10일에서 2016월 4월 1일까지였으며, 자료수집방법은 심층면담을 주로 사용하였다. 연구결과는 문화복지로서 한국무용에 참여하는 중년기 여성은 첫째, 정서적 영역 측면에서 자아성취와 사회소속감을 느꼈고, 중년기 우울증을 해소하여 심리적 안정에 많은 효과를 보았음을 알수 있었다. 또한 자율성과 생산성이 떨어진 연구대상자들은 한국무용 참여를 통한 자존감 회복에 큰 효과가 나타났다. 둘째, 운동영역으로서의 한국무용은 한국전통음악과 함께 동작을 표현함으로써 대근육과 소근육을 강화를 하여 평소 쓰지 않던 근육을 활용했다. 중년여성들은 평소 앓고 있었던 신체증상이 완화됨을 경험하였고, 이는 운동반경을 넓힘에 따라 전반적 운동기능이 향상되었다고 볼 수 있다. 셋째, 인지적 영역 측면에서 한국무용 중 친숙하고 익숙한 한국음악의 멜로디가 기억과 회고의 기회를 주며 중년기 여성의 어머니, 할머니가 좋아했던 음악을 들으면서 편안한 시절의 회상력을 증진시킬수 있었다. 마지막으로, 사회적 영역에서 한국무용은 음악과 동작을 통해 대상자 스스로를 수용하여 주고, 관계 속에서 느낀 고립과 갈등을 극복할 수 있는 매개체의 역할을 수행한다고 하였다. 또한 사회공동체의 일원으로 익힌 한국무용을 지역사회에 환원함으로 해서 지역사회와의 연계로 인한 자아실현도 하게 되었다.

본 연구에서는 중년기 부부의 부부권력 및 성역할태도가 결혼만족에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 또한 부부의 부부권력과 성역할태도 요인에는 공통적으로 그 기저에 결혼관계에서의 파워(marital power)의 이슈가 내포되어 있는 점을 고려하여 이 두 요인간의 상호관계도 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 서울과 경기도에 소재한 2개 대학에 재직하는 직원과 대학원생 및 지방에 소재한 1개 기업에 근무하는 직원 중 기혼자를 대상으로 하였다. 조사기간은 2011년 4월 6일부터 5월 27일까지 진행하였다. 자료는 총 265부이며 기술통계, t-test 및 ANOVA 분석, Pearson 상관관계, 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과, 부부권력(p<0.05) 및 성역할 태도(p<0.01) 모두 부부의 결혼만족에 주요 영향력을 갖는 변인으로 나타났는데 성역할태도가 상대적으로 결혼만족에 통계적으로 더 유의미한 영향력을 나타냈다. 한편, 성역할 태도와 부부권력은 상호작용 변인으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 중년기 부부의 결혼만족 증진을 위한 구체적인 실천적 제언과 더불어 합리적인 성역할 태도가 부부의 갈등요인을 사전에 예방하고 더 나아가 부부관계 안정성 증진에 미칠 긍정적인 영향력을 제고하였다.
