However, in quantitative research, most of the studies have analyzed the causal relationship with variables related to dental hygienists' job satisfaction. The existing qualitative research contains only the studies that targeted dental hygienists with an experience of more than 10 years.

본 연구는 노인의 지속적 자원봉사활동 경험이 그들의 삶에 부여하는 의미와 본질은 어떤 것인가를 이해하기 위해 Giorgi의 현상학적 연구방법을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 짧게는 6년, 길게는 23년 이상 지속적으로 봉사활동에 참여하고 있는 전라북도 거주 노인 5명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, '마음에서 우러나옴', '노후에 새로운 삶을 발견함', '아낌없이 주는 즐거움', '삶의 중심으로 들어온 봉사활동', '쉼 없는 봉사활동'이라는 5개의 구성요소를 도출하고, 본질적 주제는 '다시 찾은 활기 찬 삶의 기쁨'으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 노인의 지속적 자원봉사활동 경험의 본질은 '성공적 노후생활의 구성요소'와 대체로 일치한다. 따라서 자원봉사활동이 '개인적 차원의 선행'이라는 의미에서 '성공적 노후생활'의 실현을 위한 사회적 차원의 조건이라는 의미로 해석되어야 하는 인식론적 전환이 이루어져야 할 것이고, 이를 구현하기 위해 국가 및 공공차원의 지원 대책이 적극 마련되어야 할 것이다.

Method: Participants included eight community-dwelling people with mental disabilities. A total of 12 in-depth interviews were conducted once or twice per participant. The collected data were analyzed using the phenomenological analysis method described by Giorgi. Results: The daily life experiences of community-dwelling people with mental disabilities were categorized into the following four components: "encountering shocking reality in the outside world", "life tied down by the mental illness", "happiness and gratefulness encountered in daily life", and "wishing for a change and self-sustaining life". Conclusion: This study found that the recovery and welfare of community-dwelling people with mental disabilities were promoted and that these patients made necessary efforts to become a member of the local community. These findings could be used as a reference for establishing social welfare policies which enable people with mental disabilities to participate as functioning members of the community that facilitate the prevention of relapse, to promote their integration into the community. Furthermore, the present results will contribute to the development of nursing intervention programs to promote recovery and prevent relapse, to ultimately establish a mental health management system.

이 연구는 현상학적 연구방법을 활용하여, 청각장애인의 의사소통 경험을 이해하고자 한 것이다. 연구결과 청각장애인의 의사소통 경험은 '홀로 소리없는 세계에 갇힘', '소통하는 법을 터득함', '농사회구성원으로 정체성을 찾음'인 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 통해 청각장애인의 의사소통 경험을 "소리없는 혼자만의 세계에서 통(通)함을 배우고, 들을 수 있는 사람이 아닌 '잘 볼 수 있는 사람인 농아인'으로서 동병상련(同病相憐)의 정(情))을 나누며 살아감"으로 맥락화하였다. 홀로 소리없는 세계에서 소통을 경험하게 하는 중요한 도구는 수화였으며, 이는 청각장애인들이 세상과 소통을 배우고 이해하게 하는 가장 핵심적인 매개체 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 수화를 통한 청각장애인의 의사소통 경험은 사회로 한발을 내딛을 수 있는 힘이면서, 스스로를 들을 수 없는 사람으로부터 잘 볼 수 있는 사람으로 정체성을 변화시키는 의미를 가지고 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여, 청각장애인의 의사소통과 관련된 사회 복지적 함의를 제시하였다.
