The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between self-empowerment and a existential spiritual well-being in pregnant women, and to provide the basic data for nursing intervention. The subjects were 182 women who visited 2 OBGY hospitals in Taegu, Korea and ranged in age from 21 to 40. The data was collected during the period from May 6th toMay 24th, 2002. The instruments were the revised existential spiritual well-being scale developed by Paloutzian and Ellison(1982). Originally the instruments were developed by Spreitzer(1995) and Jung Hea Joo(1998), who translated it into Korean. The data was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression. The results of this study were as follows : 1. Mean score of total empowerment was 3.72 and the subcategory 'meaning', had the highest score at 4.15. 2. Mean score of existential spiritual well- being was 4.16. 3. Existential spiritual well-being was positively related to self-empowerment (r=.400, P=000). 4. A significant statistical difference between education, religion and self-empowerment was found. 5. A significant statistical difference between hope of pregnancy and a existential spiritual well-being was found. 6. The most important variable affecting the existential spiritual well-being was meaning which accounted for 15% of the total variance in stepwise multiple regression analysed. Three variables, competence and hope of pregnancy accounted for 22% in existential spiritual well-being. From the results of the study, the following recommendations are presented : 1) Indeed, we should identify existential spiritual well-being for real meaning of spiritual well-being in future. 2) It is required to check the effect of existential spiritual well-being and self-empowerment through the repeated studies. 3) We need to take a serious view of the meaning affecting existential spiritual well-being in pregnant women.

There were significant differences in existential spiritual well-being according to age, presence of religion, leisure time activity. 4. There were significant differences in hope according to leisure time activity. 5. The most powerful predictor of existential spiritual well-being was hope and the variance explained was 25.8%. A combination of competence, leisure time activity, meaning, impact for 37.2% of the variance in existential spiritual well-being of middle aged women. Further studies need to be done to identify the effect of competence through the repeated studies and to develop a hope promoting program which can cause positive effects on a existential spiritual well-being.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate factors influencing suicidal ideation in people with mental disorder. Methods: The subjects were 176 people with mental disorder from community mental health centers, social rehabilitation facilities, and university hospital psychiatric outpatient departments. The instruments used included a suicidal ideation questionnaire, a self-esteem scale, a spiritual well-being scale, a family support scale, and a professional support scale. Data were analyzed with t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: Suicidal ideation was influenced by age, history of suicidal attempts, and existential spiritual well-being. This study shows that suicidal ideation has negative correlation with existential spiritual well-being, self-esteem, family support, and age. Existential spiritual well-being, history of suicidal attempts, and age accounted for 30% regarding suicidal ideation in people with mental disorder. Conclusion: The lower existential spiritual well-being and age, the higher suicidal ideation. And also suicidal ideation was higher in people who had attempted suicide than in those who had not. Based on the outcomes of this study, it is necessary to design an intervention program that emphasizes existential spiritual well-being in order to decrease suicidal ideation in young people with mental disorder.

Data collection period was from May 1, 2019 to May 20, and 207 people voluntarily participated in the study. The sub-factors of spiritual well-being consisted of religious well-being and existential well-being. The types of stress coping consist of active coping, passive coping, aggressive coping, evasive coping, and social supportive coping. Data was analyzed using frequency analysis, t-test, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0. As a result of the analysis, 90 (43.5%) were male and 117 (56.5%) were female. The 71.0% of the participants had no religion, the Buddhists were 14.5%, other religions were 5.8%, Protestants were 4.3%, Catholics were 2.9%, and Won Buddhists were 1.4%. Active coping in stress coping was correlated with religious well-being (r=-.357, p<0.01) and existential well-being (r=.301, p<0.01) under statistical significance. Religious well-being was significantly higher in males (Mean=2.87, SD=.753) than females (Mean=2.49, SD=.772, p<0.01). Existential well-being was also higher in males (Mean=4.25, SD=.841) than in females (Mean=3.95, SD=.694, p<0.01). The religious well-being was significantly higher than active coping (t=6.183, p<0.01), passive coping (t=-3.595, p<0.01), aggressive coping (t=1.991, p<0.05). Existential well-being was significantly higher than active coping (t=5.339, p<0.01), aggressive coping (t=1.659, p<0.05), evasive coping (t=-3.709, p<0.05) at the statistical significance level. Based on the results, it can be suggested that it was necessary to systematically plan spiritual well-being program as a way to cope with stress by knowing that spiritual well-being positively affects active, aggressive stress coping.

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the influence of academic institutional interest, open parent-adolescent communication, social (friend) support, and existential spiritual well-being on suicidal ideation of college students. Methods: The research design was descriptive survey research involving 285 college students in city G. Data was collected from May 18, 2011 to November 2, 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: The findings reveal that suicidal ideation of college students was low, i.e., average score was $9.2{\pm}3.65$ (possible range 5~25). This study determined that suicidal ideation is negatively correlated with interest on the part of the academic institution, open parent-adolescent communication, social support from friends, and existential spiritual well-being. The extent of existential spiritual well-being was a significant predictor of suicidal ideation, controlling for general characteristics variables (gender, number of close friends, first supporter) and institutional interest, open parent-adolescent communication, and social support. Existential spiritual well-being accounted for 50% of the explanation of suicidal ideation of college students. Conclusion: Based on the outcomes of this study, designing an intervention program that emphasizes existential spiritual well-being in order to decrease suicidal ideation of tertiary education students is strongly recommended.

본 연구는 영성이 어떠한 대처방식을 통해 우울과 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 경기도 소재의 대학생 320명을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 영적 안녕 척도, 스트레스 대처방식 척도, 심리적 안녕감 척도, 우울 척도를 이용하여 대상자들을 평가하였으며 Pearson 상관 분석, 회귀 분석을 이용해 자료를 분석하였다. 영성은 심리적 안녕감, 적극적 대처방식과는 정적 상관관계를 우울과는 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 실존적 안녕은 우울과는 부적 상관관계를 종교적 안녕은 심리적 안녕감에 정적인 상관관계를 나타냈다. 영성이 영향을 미치는 각각의 변수에 대해 더욱 자세히 알아보기 위해 단순회귀분석을 시행하였고 영성은 우울에 부적으로 유의미한 영향을 주었다. 그 중 실존적 안녕이 우울에 유의미하게 부적 영향을 미쳤으며 종교가 있는 군과 남자 군에서 더욱 설명력이 높았다. 영성이 심리적 안녕과 스트레스 상황 시 적극적인 대처방식에 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서는 실존적 영성이 적극적 대처방식을 통해 우울과 심리적 안녕감에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것을 확인 하였다. 이를 근거로 실존적 영성을 활성화 하는 치료적 개입을 통해 환자의 정신건강에 도움을 줄 수 있겠다.
