  • 본 연구의 목적은 비교과프로그램을 참여하면서 겪은 실제 경험에 대한 이해를 토대로 대학 생활 경험의 본질적 의미를 고찰하는 것이다. 개인이 겪은 본질적 경험에 대해 이해하고 의미를 규명하기 위해 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구방법에 따라 연구를 설계하였다. 본 연구는 항공서비스학과에서 운영하는 비교과프로그램에 참여한 경험이 있는 참여자 6명을 대상으로 반구조화된 심층 인터뷰 기법을 적용하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 비교과 참여의 경험적 특성과 비교과 참여의 의미는 각각 4가지 주제로 도출되었다. 대학생활의 의미는 '대학 생활 만족도 향상', '다양한 대학생활', '대학생활의 추억', '대학생활에 대한 동기부여'의 의미를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 다양한 비교과프로그램 참여 경험은 한 개인이 성장해 가는 전이과정으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 비교과 활동이 대학생활에 새로운 의미를 부여하였다는 것을 참여자의 실제 경험을 바탕으로 규명했다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the effects of a logotherapy education program. Methods: A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized design was conducted with a convenience sample of 29 children with cancer. The experimental group (n=17) participated in the logotherapy education program which consisted of 5 daily sessions for one week. The control group (n=12) received the usual nursing care. The effects were measured using suffering, adolescent meaning in life (AMIL), and spiritual well-being (SWBS) scales. Results: There were significant differences in suffering (W=153.00, p<.05) and meaning in life (W=78.00, p<.05) between the experimental and control groups. However, there was no significant difference in spiritual well-being (W=136.50, p>.05). Conclusions: Logotherapy was effective in reducing suffering and improving the meaning in life. Logotherapy can be utilized for adolescents with terminal cancer to prevent existential distress and improve their quality of life.

  • Purpose: This study was done to explore the relationship of social support and meaning of life to suicidal thoughts among patients with cancer. Methods: Data were collected by questionnaires from 138 patients who had been in cancer treatment at medical clinics and 8 patients who were members of an internet cancer association. The data were collected between August and November 2009 and analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Results: Of the participants, 47.3% reported having had suicidal thoughts and 16.4% had attempted suicide since the diagnosis of cancer. The study participants received most support from family members, but 73.3% reported experiencing an existential vacuum. The suicide attempt group had significantly higher scores according to gender, age, level of education, diagnosis, treatment modality, level of activity, caregiver and social support compare to the suicide thought group. Suicidal thoughts were negatively related to social support and meaning of life was positively associated with social support. Support from family and friends and diagnosis explained 50.0% of variance for suicidal thoughts with 36.0% of variance being explained by family support. Conclusion: Nurses should be able to identify risk factors for suicide in cancer patients. Prevention and intervention efforts need to be directed toward improving social support, family support in particular, and assisting patients finding meaning in life after a diagnosis of cancer.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe life-stories and meanings of life in wives of alcoholics by analyzing their autobiographies. Methods: Autobiographies were collected from 20 participants who produced their own autobiographies in the logotherapeutic autobiography program at community alcohol counseling centers in Korea. The data were coded to identify themes of agency and communion using the manual coding system developed by McAdams, and analyzed by the existential approach. Results: There were 214 coded episodes in twenty autobiographies. There were 128 agency themes and 86 communion themes. The most common themes were Love/Friendship. Five themes emerged from the autobiographical episodes on the existential perspective: 1) overcoming the suffering, 2) meaningful people and relationships, 3) spiritual maturation, 4) caring and helping, and 5) finding a meaning of life. Conclusion: These results showed that the wives of alcoholics who participated in the logotherapeutic autobiography program found the meaning of life through their suffering. Furthermore, a study on existential nursing interventions for people who have meaninglessness in life needs to be done.

  • 인간의 영혼에 대한 보살핌은 양질의 임종간호의 핵심 요소이다. 의미치료는 인간의 주요 동기가 삶의 의미와 목적을 발견하는 것이라는 전제에 기반을 두고 있으며, 호스피스 간호에서 환자, 가족 및 사랑하는 사람들에 대한 보살핌에 도움이 될 수 있다. 자신의 인생 경험, 가치관, 태도에 관한 질문을 제기할 때 소크라테스식 대화법을 사용하는 것은 성찰을 불러 일으키는 유용한 방법이다. 마지막 순간까지도 의미의 추구를 위한 지침은 세 가지 범주의 과제 또는 행동, 사랑과 아름다움의 경험 및 변화될 수 없는 운명에도 불구하고 선택된 태도들에서 찾을 수 있다. 자기 초월, 또는 다른 사람들의 이익을 위해 자아를 벗어나는 것은 삶에 의미를 부여할 수 있다. 고난에는 의미가 없지만 고난에도 불구하고 의미를 찾을 수 있다. 의미 중심의 치료 프로토콜의 적용이라는 새로 급성장하는 연구는 영적안녕과 삶의 의미 및 목적에 대한 인식을 향상시키는 데 유망하다.

  • This paper aims to explore how to help terminally ill patients and their families find meaning in their suffering from the logotherapeutic perspective, which is the essence of palliative care. For this purpose, this paper examines the main concepts and principles of logotherapy, and specific approaches based on the logotherapeutic perspective to help terminally ill patients and their families find meaning in life are presented. Emphasizing the will to meaning as the primary motive to explain human behaviors and based on its unique perspective of the human being, which is called the dimensional ontology, logotherapy considers the human being to consist of the body, the mind, and the spirit. The dimensional ontology implies that the human being "has" the body and the mind, but the human being "is" the spirit itself. Therefore, even though a human being can be sick physically or psychologically, Accordingly, it is essential to help these patients realize that they are not their illnesses, but just have them, and to rise above themselves to reach out toward something meaningful or someone to love; despite their suffering, they can still do something meaningful, even in a small way. Above all, the most important thing for these patients is to acknowledge that they have already lived a meaningful life and to believe that their meaningful work has been safely preserved in the past and nothing can take it from them, for as spiritual beings, their lives have been meaningful unconditionally.
