  • This study sought to figure out women's needs during early postpartum for developing adequate nursing intervention toward postpartal women's healthy adaptation. A convenience sample of 89 women who are in the early postpartal period and admitted in a university hospital located in Seoul, Korea was studied from July 1, 1999 to August 13. 1999. 1. The age group of 26-30 years was 52.8% and the level of education above high school 91%. 67.6% of women had no job, 62.9% had experienced one time of delivery, and 52.8% had no experience of abortion. 2. 31.5% of women received prenatal education, 44.9% only postpartal education. 77.5% of women planned breast-feeding, and 53.9% of women had an experience of breast-feeding during hospital stay. For the feeling of confidence related to the self-care, 27% only expressed 'yes. I have' and 59.5% 'just a little bit'. For the feeling of confidence related to the baby rearing, 29.2% only expressed 'yes. I have' and 60.7% 'just a little bit'. 3. The rate of postpartal women's mother as a preferred non-professional care giver was the highest, 75.3%. The rate of the style of Sanhujori highly preferred and planned at this time was at postpartal women's maiden home or her home with mother, 58.4%, 47.7% respectively. It shows that women still wish to have traditional Sanhuiori at home. 4. The mean of nursing need of postpartal women was 4.25% and it means that universally the degree of nursing need during postpartum is still high. General nursing need (4.29) was higher than that of traditional Sanhujori (4.09), however, the need of Sanhujori is still high. 5. Specifically, the degree of nursing need according to the category of needs was 'educational need for baby rearing,' 4.43; 'emotional-psychological care', 4.41; 'environmental care,' 4.31; 'self-care,' 4.14; and 'physical care,' 3.85 in rank. The educational need core of the specific method about Sanhuiori (4.35) was second to the highest among 15 items of self-care. 6. The related factors to the degree of nursing need were age to physical care; educational level, plan of breast feeding and experience of breast feeding during hospital stay to emotional-psychological care; and the feeling of confidence in baby rearing to environmental care. 7. There was highly positive correlation between the degree of traditional Sanhujori need and general care need(r=.77). This result strongly reflects that there is a necessity of professional care givers' capability to consider the integrative care reflecting the socio-cultural need for women's healthy adaptation during postpartum. It provides a challenge to the professional care givers to research further on the effects of Sanhuiori on the health status, health recovery after abortion or delivery from the various aspects through the cross-sectional and longitudinal research for the refinement of the reality of Sanhuiori not only as cultural phenomenon but as an inseparable factor influencing on women's postpartal healthy adaptation and for the appropriateness of intervention and quality of care for desirable health outcome.

  • 随着消费者对环境的关注不断增加, 许多公司都积极从事环境营销来实现其目标. 不过, 有关环境的消费者的高度关注并不总是反映在他们的购买行为. 这表明需要有一个绿色消费的范围内个人的信仰体系的发展有深入的了解. 考虑到心理学的方法, 大量的研究机构已测试的基本因素和生态意识的消费者行为, 这些因素的相互关系. 然而, 以往的研究大多数集中于西方国家. 本研究使用韩国消费者为研究样本, 试图了解韩国绿色消费的基础, 发现跨文化在指导消费者的环保态度和行为的重要的普遍价值. 为此, 我们联系了Schwartz在1992年提出的10个普遍价值和价值-态度-行为层次模式的环境行为. 参照价值-态度-行为的框架, 我们提出的概念模型可以解释韩国消费者的环保态度中表现出了什么动机, 以及后来此态度如何影响他们的绿色选择. 其中, 可利用相关的环保价值的关系模式, 我们首先假设激励价值类型和环境态度之间存在特定的关系. 在假设2中, 环境态度被假定用来预测环境行为. 这个假设的基础是对环境有利的态度可能会产生许多不同的行为, 我们认为消费者对环境的有利的态度和各种环保行为是相关的. 因为有环保态度的人们会对环保行动方面的知识更感兴趣. 与假设2一致, 我们推测在不同的环保行为之间存在正相关关系. 564名大学生参加了这项研究. 样本包括308名男性, 254名女性, 2名参与者没有注明性别. 参加者的平均年龄为22.5(标准差=2.11)岁, 年龄范围从19岁到39岁. 至于专业, 我们作出了特别努力使得参与者来自于大学的不同学科. 所收集的数据是通过自我完成问卷调查. 问卷评估参与者的价值优先, 环境态度和行为. 我们进行了路径分来测试所提出的模型. 观测的模型的整体适配度为x2=72.01(p=0.00), GFI的=0.983, CFI=0.982, NFI=0.970, RMR=0.070, 和REMSEA=0.050. 大部分适配值表明了数据与模型拟合良好. 因此, 环境态度价值, 环境的非购买行为和环境的购买行为的层级关系得到了确认. 所有的预测路径被路径系数评估, 几个主要影响假设被确认. 在10个价值类型之外, 普遍性和力量是显著的但是与环境态度的关系是相反的. 与其他研究一致, 我们的结果证实了环境态度是引导各种关注环境的行为的一个重要因素. 最后我们发现环境非采购和购买行为之间有显著关系. 路径分析支持普遍性价值为韩国消费者的绿色意识提供了动机而且他们通过对环境的有利态度间接的支持了环保行为. 我们发现拥有高环境态度的参与者积极的投入到各种关注环境的消费者行为中. 在本研究中, 考虑到价值导致环保主义和进一步证实先前的结果我们提供了测试跨文化差异的机会. 此外, 我们已测试了关于三个不同类型的环境行为的态度与行为的关系. 环境的态度和行为之间的路径的不同优势, 研究人员建议, 应考虑行为的特异性, 努力改善低的态度-行为的相关性. 最后, 本文阐明了随着对环境不断增长的关注, 人们生活中的绿色行为也不断的增加.

  • 앙토냉 아르토의 삶은 잔혹한 실존의 드라마이다. 그는 고통이 투사된 정신적 삶을 살았다. 이 논문은 언어의 수형자로서 아르토의 글쓰기에 나타난 사유의 궤적을 살펴본 것이다. 아르토는 평생 말과 사물, 존재와 사유의 관계 사이에서 번민한 시인이다. 그는 존재의 신비를 일상의 언어로 옮길 때마다 정신적 고뇌에 사로잡혔다. 그의 시적 사유는 주체성의 상실에 따른 해체의 여정으로 향한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그는 세상을 언어로 포착할 수밖에 없는 운명을 타고났다. 아르토는 젊은 시절 정신병을 앓았다. 우리는 그 병을 시적 창작의 어려움과 결부시켜 살폈다. 여기서는 아르토와 리비에르가 주고받은 편지 내용들을 중심으로 분석했다. 시인은 "영혼의 중심의 붕괴, 일종의 근본적이고 달아나는 사유의 침식"을 언급하며 언어적 표현의 무능력을 토로한다. 그 이후 아르토의 불안한 정신적 징후는 지속된다. 그는 정신착란이 최악의 상태에 이르러도 의식만큼은 잃지 않았다. 그것은 아르토의 글쓰기에 그대로 나타난다. 또 그의 종교적 성향은 불안정한 정신을 반영한다. 멕시코 타라후마라 지방 여행 중엔 원시신앙인 페요틀의 의식(儀式)에 집착하고 주술에 경도되기도 했다. 그의 비기독교적 신관은 신비주의적 성향에서 비롯한 것이다. 아르토는 마지막 순간까지 글쓰기를 포기하지 않았다. 아르토의 정신착란은 엄밀한 의미에서 광기가 아니다. 비록 광기라고 해도 그것은 은유적이다. 그것은 아르토가 자신의 한계를 거부하는 데서 나오며, 육체가 절대적 감각과의 동일시 속에서 자신을 한데 모으려는 열망에서 비롯한다. 그의 지적 능력은 오히려 극도로 고양된 상태에서 더욱 잘 드러났다. 아르토의 광기는 심오한 사색가의 그것과 다를 바 없다. 정신착란을 겪은 시인들의 삶은 그렇지 않은 시인들보다 더욱 시적이다. 아르토의 정상을 벗어난 감정은 우리 자신의 한계, 무력함, 체념 등을 측정할 수 있게 한다. 그래서 그의 절규는 비분절의 고함이지만, 다른 병자의 그것과 성격이 다르다. 왜 우리가 아르토의 작품에 관심을 갖고 천착하는가의 이유가 거기에 있다.

  • It has been reported that the cancer patient's quality of life is influenced by the perceived health state, self-esteem, health locus of control, social support, whether there is a pain or not, the stage of a disease, the period of a disease, etc, and however, there has been scarcely the research into the fact at home whose cultural and social backgrounds are entire1y different from those of American and European Countries. Accordingly, the author of this thesis performed this study. considering that it is necessary to know the relations between the health locus of control which make it possible to predict the object's behavior related to health and to make plans to induce the object or patient into sound behavior and the quality of life which is closely related to the cancer patient's health, emotion, society, economy, etc. on the whole. This study, a cross-sectional one, includes 135 subjects of $in{\cdot}out$ patients registered at Y University Hospital whose age are more than 20 years, From these patients, data were collected for two weeks through the questionnaire which content concerns about the quality of life and the health locus of control. All the collected data were processed and analyzed through Student's t-test, ANOVA, and the calculation of Pearson Correlation Coefficient, using the SAS program 1. It appeared that the disposition of health locus of control was mostly inclined to the disposition of powerful other health locus of control($28.37{\pm}4.24$), then inclined to internal health locus of control($27.03{\pm}4.17$), and next to chance health locus of control($19.71{\pm}4.97$) By the way. the disposition of powerful other health locus of control appeared a tittle bit higher than internal health locus of control 2. The degree of the quality of life appeared to be 137.54 points in the average of total points and 3.11 in the average evaluation mark. It appeared that the quality of life was most significantly influenced by a factor of 'relations with neighbors' and least significantly influenced by factors of physical conditions and functions. 3. It appeared that the relation between the disposition of health locus of control and the quality of life has nothing to do with the relation between internal health locus of control and the quality of life(r=.1446, P>.05) and also with the relation between the disposition of powerful other health locus of control(r=.0385, P>.05). In conclusion, in the study it has been found out that there is no correlation between the health locus of control and the quality of life, and however it is sound to induce the cancer patient to internal health locus of control. Therefore, it is necessary that under the special circumstances, the cancer patient's behavior should be predicted, thereby inducing the patient to the sound change of his or her behavior. Also in order that the patient enjoys his or her life satisfactorily while living, It is deemed that some kind of multilateral meditation in health and treatment is necessary so that the patient can feel the relief of pain, better health, etc.

  • The purpose of this study were to develop a smoking preventive education program for elementary students and evaluate it's effectiveness. This study was a quasi experimental study under the nonequivalent control group with pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were 62 who are attending elementary school(31 for each group), 2 different district elementary school. The subjects were matched by grade, similar in anti-smoking educational background of smoking, as well as their residence and income level of their families. The instruments used in this study was 18 criterion referenced test items modeled by Dick & Carey that were developed by researchers for evaluating the subjects' knowledge and attitude about smoking. A pretest was administered a week before treatment The program given to the experimental group is composed of the texts explaining the poisonous substances in tobacco, social and cultural harmfulness of smoking to the body and psychology, indirect smoking, smoking of pregnant women, motives of smoking, refusal skills of smoking; and for the subjects' understanding and the better results of study - pictures, role play, discussion, text through computer based multi-media, puzzle searching for hidden pictures, cross-word puzzle, and finally compensation. The data were collected for 50 days form mid- September to the end of October in the year of 2000, composed of formative evaluation, pre-test and summative evaluation via 2 sessions. Accordingly, the collected data were analysed by t-test, paired t-test, repeated measure ANOVA by the SAS program. This research summarize the findings as follows; 1. There was a significant difference in knowledge between the experimental group(after 1 wks t=10.4680, p=.0001; after 4 wks t= 9.310, p=.0001) and control group(after 1 wks t=0.0420, p= .9669; after 4 wks t= -0.378 p=.7079) in between the results of 1 and 4 week after education in summative evaluation (F=27.45, P=.0001). 2. There was non statistical significant difference in attitude between the experimental group (after 1 wks t=1.2292, p=0.2286 ; after 4 wks t=1.330, p=0.1935) and control group (after 1 wks t=0.1819, p=0.8569 ; after 4 wks t=0.2970, p=0.7685) in between the results of 1 and 4 week after education in summative evaluation(F=0.71, P=0.494). To sum up, the statistics of conclusive analysis evaluative for the children under school age of the 'knowledge acquisition' about smoking harmfulness. On the other hand, as there was already sound attitude about smoking, the evaluation of attitude was non significant difference between control group and experimental group, just there was partially significant difference.

  • With the accumulations of outcomes from archaeological excavations of mountain fortress of three kingdoms period, there have been studies about time-periodic territory range of mountain fortress, difference in the way(method) of construction, defence system and so on from various points of view. This is an empirical study on the construction method of the valley part of stone fortress. First of all, it is required to secure large quantity of fresh water for those who lived at mountain fortress. Especially when builders of fortress construct a fortification at the valley part of stone fortress, in advance they must sufficiently consider several options including the establishment of sustainable water resources. First, when it comes to build a fortification on a ridge[or a slope] of a mountain, you have only to consider a vertical stress. However, when it comes to build a fortification at the valley part of a mountain, You must have more sufficient preparations for the constructing process. Because there are not only a vertical stress but also a horizontal pressure simultaneously. Second, a fortification of mountain fortress built by using unit building stone is a structure of masonry construction like brick construction, and the valley part of it is where the construction of the fortification begins. Third, when it comes to build a fortification at the valley part of a mountain, it seems that they use a temporary method such as coffer dam in oder to prevent the collapse of the fortification due to heavy rain. Furthermore, in response to a horizontal pressure a fortification is built by the way of its plane make an arch, or by piling up the soil with the plate method(類似版築) and earthen wall harder method(敷葉) they increase cross-sectional area of the fortification and its cutoff capacity. In front direction they put the reservoir facility for the fear that the hydraulic pressure and earth pressure are directly transmitted to the fortification. The process of constructing the fortification at the valley part of a mountain is done in the same oder as follows; leveling of ground(整地) ${\Rightarrow}$ construction of coffer dam ${\Rightarrow}$ construction of the fortification between the both banks of the valley ${\Rightarrow}$ construction of the fortification at bottom part of spill way(餘水路) between the both banks of the valley ${\Rightarrow}$ construction of spill way(餘水路) & reservoir facility ${\Rightarrow}$ construction of the fortification at upper part of spill way between the both banks of the valley. Coffer dam facility seems to be not only the protection device on occasion of flood but also an important criterion to measure the proper height of spill way or tailrace(放水路). This study has a meaningful significance in that it empirically examines the method of reduction of the horizontal pressure which the fortification at the valley part of a mountain takes, the date the construction was done, and wether the changes in climate such as heavy rainfall influence the process of construction.

  • This study investigates the characteristics of Nordic sweaters works from a historical perspective. Specifically, this study deals with the following research topics: 1) development of Nordic sweaters, 2) the characteristics of Nordic sweaters industry according to the change of times, 3) the comparison of local knitting patterns, 4) the symbolic meaning of the designs in the Nordic sweaters and patterns. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. Knitted work developed mostly in Northern Europe, a cold area, and the barren, mountainous coastal areas where people frequently used woolen materials for clothes. It was also developed in Scandinavian regions which lead the fashion in modern days. Scandinavian knitting techniques have been diffused into the east coast of England and Northern Europe by Vikings. 2. Scandinavian countries are distinguished from other countries by their conservative but creative cultural tradition. Their knitting patterns are characterized by small geometric figures such as dots, triangles, squares, rhombuses, and crosses used often with stars and roses. Scandinavian knitting is also salient for its vertical stripes and simple motifs repeating at short intervals. 1) Norway ; Simple and geometric Norwegian patterns are classified into three groups of motifs: (a) the motifs of cross, diamond, X, and swastika (equation omitted). (b) the motifs of human figures, animals and birds, (c) floral motifs (especially eight-petal roses). Their use of color is also simple, and is limited to more than two colors. (2) Sweden ; Swedish patterns are colorful and geometric. They are characterized by features such as brocade, complex embroidery, and contrast of red and black colors. They also show Guernsey patterns. Initials and production years were knitted in sweaters which have different patterns in their trunks and sleeves. 3) Denmark ; The Danish pattern is the purl stitch knitted against the stockinette stitch. The technique is used to copy woven damask motifs. The patterns are seen most clearly when they are knit with smooth yarn. The Faeroe sweaters are the representative work of Danish knitting. Faeroe knitting, incorporates stranded pattern and is knit in the round, either with circular needles. 4) Finland ; Finnish patterns are similar to Norwegian patterns. Finnish knitted work show very colorful, variety and free-flowing geometric patterns. 5) Iceland ; Icelandic knitting shows original ribbon pattern. Lope sweater is the representative work. 3. The traditional knitting patterns not only carried symbolic meanings but also served as means of communication. First of all, patterns had incantatory meanings. Patterns were symbolic of one's social standing, too. The colors, motifs and their arrangements were very important features symbolizing one's social position or family line. People often communicated by certain pieces of knitted work or patterns. In short, the knitted work in the Nordic sweaters served the function of admiring the beauty of nature and symbolizing various meanings. The unique designs and colors of the knitted work reflected the characteristics of the culture those works belonged to. This study also turns our attention to the issue of how the traditional colors and designs of the knitted work can contribute to the development of modern designs, and by doing so, if makes us realize the importance of knitted works in modern society.

  • 본 연구는 가족의 창업이력이 개인의 창업방식에 유의미한 영향을 줄 수 있음을 살펴보고 있고, 두 변수 사이의 관계는 국가의 문화속성들에 따라 달라짐을 보여주고 있다. 창업방식에 대한 기존 연구들이 신생회사 설립과 관련된 요인에 초점을 맞추고 있으나, 이런 관점은 기존 회사를 인수하는 방식을 통해서도 기업가가 될 수 있음을 간과하고 있다. 한편 창업과 관련된 교육 및 정부의 정책도 신생 회사의 설립에 대해서만 강조하고 있는 형편이다. 하지만, 저출산 고령화시대에 기존 기업들이 기업 승계시장에 매물로 많이 나올 수 있음을 고려할 때 인수를 통한 창업방식에 대한 연구도 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가족의 관여와 기존 회사를 인수함으로서 기업가가 되는 관계가, 국가문화의 주요 속성들에 따라 어떤 차이를 보이는지 분석하였다. EU의 Flash Eurobarometer 데이터를 바탕으로 하여 33개국 3,831명의 응답자를 대상으로 계층적 선형 모델링을 사용하여 가설을 검증하였다. 실증분석 결과, 부모 중 창업경험이 있을 경우 이미 존재하고 있는 기업의 인수를 통해 창업자가 되는 방식을 선호하였으며, 이 관계는 개인주의성향이 높은 나라일수록, 미래지향성이 낮을수록, 그리고 권력격차가 작은 문화일수록 강해졌다. 본 연구결과에 따르면, 대한민국의 경우 기업승계시장이 활성화되지 않을 문화적인 조건을 갖추고 있다. 권력격차가 커서 기존 기업들이 승계시장에 매물로 내놓지 않으려는 경향이 있으며, 예비창업자들이 미래지향성이 강해서 다른 기업의 승계보다는 자신의 신생기업 설립에 더 많은 관심을 가지고 있을 수 있다. 한편, 집단주의 문화는 신생기업의 설립만이 창업이라는 고정관념을 확산시킬 수 있다. 따라서 국가의 창업지원제도 및 여러 기관들의 창업과 관련된 교육과정 수립에 있어서 문화의 속성을 고려한 균형 잡힌 시각이 절대적으로 필요하다. 본 연구결과가 창업방식과 관련된 새롭고 다양한 연구관점을 제공해주고, 저출산 고령화시대를 맞이하여 창업지원제도 및 창업교육에 의미 있는 시사점을 제공할 수 있길 희망한다.

  • 목적 : 이민은 개인이 가진 습관, 일상 및 문화적 행동들 전반을 바꿔야 하므로 개개인의 신체적, 정신적으로 많은 손상을 유발 할 수 있는 스트레스를 불러 올 수 있다. 또한, 이민은 때로는 개인의 의미 있는 일상생활에 참여하는데 부정적인 영향을 끼치기도 한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 호주에 이민 온 아시아 여성을 대상으로 이민 후 그들의 달라진 환경적 요소가 의미있는 작업 수행에 영향을 미치는 지 분석하고, 작업 참여의 변화가 그들의 삶의 질에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 설문지와 질적 인터뷰를 통하여 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 2015년 6월 1일부터 2주간 총 아홉명의 이민여성을 대상으로 본 연구를 위해 개발된 반구조화된 설문지를 실시하였다. 폐쇄형 질문에서 얻어진 삶의 질, 작업참여도, 환경요소들, 작업참여와 삶의 질의 상관관계를 보기위해 SPSS(version 20,0)이 사용되었다. 개방형 질문에서 얻은 결과는 Liamputtong(2009)이 제시한 주제 분석단계를 통하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 설문지 분석 결과, 이민여성들의 이민 후 작업 참여도가 이민여성들의 삶의 질에 통계적으로 유의미하게 영향을 미치는 요소로 보고되었다. 즉, 이민으로 인해 변화된 환경적 요소 및 거주 기간은 이민자들의 삶의 질에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못한 반면, 작업의 참여도가 이민여성들의 삶의 질에 매우 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되었다. 결론 : 이민여성들 사이에서 삶의 질을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 요인은 개인의 의미 있는 작업에 대한 참여도로 확인되었다. 이민 여성은 달라진 환경 속 에서 일상생활의 작업을 수행 할 수 없었고, 이는 곧 그들의 삶의 질에 영향을 주는 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 향후 이민여성의 일상생활의 작업참여를 위해 지역사회 기반의 작업치료가 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 생각된다.
