This study examined the retirement adaptation process for middle-aged and elderly couples. Twelve couples who had experienced retirement were recruited by theoretical sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed through the grounded theory approach of Strauss and Corbin (1998). This study showed the results of 124 concepts, 41 sub-categories and 17 categories indicated through an open coding process. As a paradigm in axial coding, the causal conditions in the adjustment procedures of elderly couples whose spouses are retired were 'retirement preparation,' 'retirement acceptance,' and 'marital satisfaction.' A central phenomenon was 'crisis and conflicts of twilight couples.' The contextual conditions that correspond to this phenomenon were 'psychological separation from adult children,' 'division of household labor,' and 'economic status.' The action/interaction strategies to control the phenomenon were 'recognition of marital relationships,' 'conflicts coping,' 'resolution methods,' and 'self-reflection.' The intervening conditions that facilitate action/interaction strategies were 'attitudes of husbands,' 'mutual awareness of couple,' 'health status,' and 'support systems.' The consequences were 'readaptation of marital relationships,' and 'unresolved conflicts,' and 'trying alone.' This research classified middle-aged and elderly couples' adaptation into three types such as mutual effort, separation & resignation, and conflicts vestige. The findings provide basic information to develop a retirement adaptation program for the middle-aged and elderly.

The purpose of this study was to suggest basic natural park planning guidelines which have to be considered before conservation plan. For this purpose, land potentiality was analyzed in the regional context. Natural parks in Tokyo Province were chosen as study areas because park systems in Japan and Korea are similar and lots of information are available in Japan. Land capabilities of study areas were analyzed, then the results were utilized to discuss how the natural parks. Land potentiality was analyzed by the degree of location quotient of land use allowance in homogeneous bio-physical land units, then comprehensive potentiality of bio-physical land units was revealed from existing and historical land use allowance. These 2 allowances, also, were utilized to find the limit of land use intensity, and the results were used for qualitative identification of the land potentiality and the land capability. As a results, the land use allowance and characteristics of 6 groups were identified as shown in Table 3 and Figure 6. Qualitative analysis of land potentiality in this study enabled to disscus the conservation and/or preservation of natural parks, based upon elements of land, and the guidelines of natural park conservation policy were suggested from the characteristics of land potentiality and regional relationship. This discussed land potentiality, and existing natural resources which were stressed from conservational view point need to be combined for comprhensive understanding of land resources.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for elucidating the clinical experiences of nursing assistants working at dental clinics and for establishing the bases necessary for building a safe working environment for the staff at dental clinics. Methods: From March 28 to August 20, 2022, the study conducted in-depth interviews with nursing assistants working with dental hygienists in dental clinics. The collected data were analyzed using the phenomenological method. Results: The study analyzed the meanings associated with the dental clinical assistance work experiences of nursing assistants in dental clinics. A total of 98 semantic words and 9 sub-categories were extracted, which were ultimately categorized into 4 central meanings: 'imperfect reality', 'work without boundaries', 'putting oneself in someone else's shoes', and 'symbiosis'. Conclusions: The nursing assistants were exposed to an environment where they needed to perform delegated treatment procedures even when they lacked dental work competency. They recognized their gaps in learning and the necessity for designated roles as clinical assistants. Thus, it is necessary to review the allocation and expansion of the work roles of dental practitioners based on the practical and rational realities in dental practice.
