Background: It has been debated that serum lipid levels of patients with xanthelasma are higher than those of normal persons. In Korean literature, there are two reports of this. Objective: Our purpose was to review the findings in patients with xanthelasma and compare the patients to normal persons in respect of serum lipid levels. Methods: Fifty-one patients with xanthelasma were reviewed. Results: Mean age was 51 years in man and 51 years in woman. The ratio of male to female patients was 1:2.7. Significant difference of serum HDL-cholesterol level was found between patients with normal lipid level and normolipidemic control subjects. Conclusion: Xanthelasma palpebrarum occurs frequently in middle-aged women and HDL-cholesterol level of patients with xanthelasma was lower than normolipidemic control subjects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing self-identity and menopausal symptoms their influence on level of depression in middle-aged woman. Methods: Participants were 135 middle-aged women who were living in city B, were 45-60 years old, informed of study purpose, and agreed to participate. Data were collected from December, 2012 to January, 2013 using scales measuring depression, self-identity, and menopausal symptoms. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, Pearson Correlation Coefficients, and Multiple Stepwise Regression. Results: Level of depression was low, self-identity was slightly high, and menopausal symptoms were relatively low in these middle-aged women. There were significant differences in depression by perceived health status and perceived economic status. Depression had a moderate negative correlation with self-identity (r=-.49, p<.001) and a moderate positive correlation with menopausal symptoms (r=.57, p<.001). Menopausal psychological symptoms were the factor most affecting depression and explained 37% of the variance in depression. A total of 51% of variance in depression was explained by menopausal symptoms (psychological and physical), self-identity, and perceived economic status. Conclusion: Thus, an effort to improve self-identity, especially a plan to attenuate menopausal psychological symptoms is needed to reduce depression.

이 연구는 임금피크제의 성과가 기업의 경영 효율성을 중심으로 분석되었으며, 임금피크제가 고령자 고용촉진 정책으로 주목된 반면 이에 대한 실증적 검증은 제한적이었다는 문제의식에서 출발했다. 이에 따라 정책현장의 기대와 같이 임금피크제가 고령근로자의 노동가능성을 생의 후기로 연장하여 노동과 여가의 분절성을 노동과 여가가 조화된 통합성으로 전환 한다고 가정하고 고령근로자의 노동시장 내 연령통합을 중심으로 임금피크제의 성과를 분석하고자 했다. 2008년과 2012년 이루어진 사업체 패널조사의 원자료를 이용하여 1770개 사업체의 데이터를 분석했다. 분석결과, 임금피크제의 시행여부에 따라 고령근로자의 구성비, 정규직 평균근속년수 등에 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 특히 정규직 평균근속년수는 다양한 분석에서 임금피크제를 시행하는 사업체에서 유의미하게 높은 것으로 반복적으로 확인됨에 따라 임금피크제가 근로자의 평균근속년수의 증가와 긍정적으로 연관되어 있음을 확인했다.

Purpose: This study was done in order to examine the differences in gender respect to care burden, fatigue, and life contentment of family caregivers of elderly with dementia. Methods: The setting of the study was a community-based dementia care center providing daycare services. One hundred ninety four caregivers were recruited for the survey. A structured questionnaire was used which included demographic information, care burden, fatigue, and general contentment scales. Caregivers were classified into 4 groups by gender relationship with care recipients. Results: The majority of the caregivers were middle-aged and elderly. More than twice as many were female rather than male caregivers. The results showed that women caregivers expressed more fatigue than men overall (p < .05). In the gender relationships, a different combination of man-woman appeared to have more burdens than that of a woman-woman group (p < .05). For fatigue, the man caregiver-woman elderly group showed a higher fatigue score than a woman-man group (p < .05). However, there was no significant difference in life contentment among groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that caregiver's gender and gender relationship with elders could be considerable factors when the nurses make a plan in the community for dementia nursing management services.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the experiences of women under 40 years of age with gynecologic cancer. Methods: Semi-structured individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 Korean female patients aged 21~39 years with gynecologic cancer. The data were analyzed using Corbin and Strauss' grounded theory approach, including open coding, context analysis, and integrating categories. Results: Grounded theory analysis revealed nine categories and a core category of 'the journey to find my life after losing the life as a typical woman.' The categories that emerged as the conditions are 'Unwelcomed guest, cancer,' 'Completely devastated life as an ordinary woman,' 'Uncertain future,' 'Losing my physical characteristics as a woman,' and 'Life tied with treatments.' The actions/interactions were 'Decrease of interpersonal relationships,' 'A lonely battle to overcome alone,' and 'The power to overcome hardships.' The consequence was 'Live my own life.' Conclusion: This study contributes to the development of a substantive theory of the experience of gynecologic cancer in young women, which has been on the rise in recent years. The study's results are expected to be used as a basis for providing nursing care to help young women with gynecologic cancer adapt to their disease.

This study investigates the mediation effects of adult children's ambivalence for elderly parents in the relation of psychological well-being of middle aged children with dependence and the intrusiveness of elderly parents that examines the difference of mediation effects by children's gender. We collected data from 659 middle aged children of 40 to 59 years old who have living mother or father. The main findings are as follows. First, there were mediation effects of ambivalence for elderly parents in the relation between psychological well-being of middle aged children and dependency and intrusiveness of elderly parents. The perceived dependence and intrusiveness of elderly parents had a positive influence on the ambivalence of middle aged childen for their elderly parents. Ambivalence for elderly parents had a negative effect on the psychological well-being of middle aged children. In addition, the dependence and intrusiveness of elderly parents did not directly influence the psychological well-being of middle aged children. Second, the mediation effect of ambivalence for elderly parents indicated a gender difference of middle aged children. The dependence of elderly parents affected the ambivalence for elderly parents in the woman group and the intrusiveness of elderly parents only affected ambivalence for elderly parents in the man group. The results were discussed in terms of gender difference.

본 연구는 뷰티라이프스타일이 중년여성의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구를 위하여 서울, 경기, 광주, 세종, 대전에 거주하는 35세-65세의 중년여성 417명을 대상으로 2021년 2월 27일부터 2021년 3월 14일까지 실시하였다. 연구의 결과로 중년여성의 뷰티라이프스타일에 따른 삶의 질의 상관관계는 과시추구형, 외모추구형, 실용추구형, 유행추구형순으로 정의 상관관계가 나타났다. 또한 중년여성의 삶의 질에는 뷰티라이프스타일의 실용추구형과 과시추구형이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중년여성의 삶의 질에 매우 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 실용추구형과 과시추구형을 위한 경제성과 고급화를 추구하는 양가적 관점에 기인한 맞춤형 커뮤니케이션의 정보와 뷰티제품의 마케팅 전략이 필요하다고 사료된다.
