목적 : 본 연구는 자원봉사자 교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로서 질병 말기 환자에게 호스피스 케어를 제공하는 자원봉사자의 관점에서 본 서비스 요구도를 조사하고자 하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 방법 : 경상남도, 부산시 및 충청남도 지역의 호스피스 자원봉사 교육 수료자로서 호스피스 케어 제공 경험이 있는 자원봉사자인 연구대상 중 88명이 본 연구를 위한 분석대상으로 사용되었으며, 구조화된 설문지를 이용한 자기기입식 설문방식에 의해 조사되었다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Window version 10.0 통계 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차 및 회귀분석방법에 의해 분석되었다. 결과 : 조사대상자의 사회인구학적 특성은 기독교 중류가정의 40대 유배우 고졸 여성으로 가족 중 호스피스 경험이 없는 경력 1년 미만의 호스피스 센터에 소속된 사람이었다. 정보영역에서 호스피스 케어 요구도가 가장 높았으며 사회경제적 영역에서 가장 낮았다. '질병과 치료과정에 대한 정보 제공 필요'에 대한 요구가 정보영역에서, '욕창관리 및 예방'에 대한 요구가 신체적 영역에서, '의료인과 지속적인 관계유지 도와줌'이 정서적 영역에서 그리고 '의료보험 지원 확대를 도와줌'이 사회경제적 영역에 대한 요구도 중 가장 요구도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 호스피스 케어 전체 영역 및 신체적 영역에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 '가족 중 호스피스 경험'이, 정서적 영역에서는 '호스피스 경력'과 '가족 중 호스피스 경험'이 영향을 미치는 요인 변수로 예측되었으나 정보영역 및 사회경제적 영역에서는 어떤 변수도 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구가 편의표본을 사용하여 시행되었기에 본 연구의 결과가 실제적이고 효과적인 자원봉사자 교육 프로그램 개발을 위한 자료로 일반화되어 사용되기에는 한계를 지니고 있다. 따라서 호스피스 센터 별 전수조사 혹은 확률표본추출법에 의해 설계된 본 주제와 관련된 조사연구 및 질적 방법에 의한 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between climacteric symptoms and management of menopause of middle -aged women. The subjects of this study were 261 women(40 to 60 years old). Data were collected from Jun. 1 to Jul. 15, 2001 by a structured questionnaire. The instruments employed were : 1) The Climacteric Symptoms Scale developed by Aeri Song and Eun soon Chung(1998). 2) The Management of Menopause Scale developed by Aeri Song(1997). The data were analyzed by the SPSS p.c. program using t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of the study were as follows : 1. Mean score of climacteric symptoms was $2.18{\pm}0.39$(Maximum 4, Minimum 1). The mean scores among the categories of climacteric symptoms, in descending order, were : a) physical and physiological reactions ($2.62{\pm}0.53$), b) social and family relationships ($2.23{\pm}0.50$), c) psychiatric and psychological reactions ($2.08{\pm}0.49$), d) relationship with sexual partner($1.73{\pm}0.54$), e) genitourinary reactions ($1.72{\pm}0.55$). 2. Mean score of management of menopause was $1.79{\pm}0.45$ (Maximum 4, Minimum 1). The mean scores among the categories of management of menopause, in descending order, were : a) dietary management($2.57{\pm}0.52$), b) self control ($2.24{\pm}0.57$), c) management of exercise and physical activity($2.14{\pm}0.75$), d) management of sex life($1.71{\pm}0.47$), e) management of professional health maintenance($1.61{\pm}0.59$). 3. There were statistically significant differences in the score of middle-aged women's self reported climacteric symptoms according to : a) occupation (t=-2.79, p<0.001) b) marriage state (t=-2.29, p<0.05) c) age of menarche (F=4.66, p<0.001) d) method of Sanhujori (post natal care & treatment) (F=4.22, p<0.001) e) hormone replacement therapy (t=-3.09, p<0.05). From the above statistics, several significant findings were noted : a) There were more climacteric symptoms from those who were unemployed, those who had no partner or were divorced and those who started a menarche earlier. b) There were less climacteric symptoms reported from those on hormone replacement therapy and those who followed their parents or parents-in-law advice regarding Sanhujori (postnatal care) 4. There were statistically significant differences in the score of middle-aged women's self reported management of menopause according to : The educational background (F=7.63, p<0.001), religion (F=3.74, p<0.001), income (F=3.65, p<0.001), number of parity (F=4.87, p<0.001), method of Sanhujori(postnatal care) (F=5.73, p<0.001), period of Sanhujori (postnatal care) (F=2.81, p<0.05), hormone replacement therapy (t=3.81, p<0.001). Women with higher educational background, strong religion, higher income, large number of parity, managed their post natal care well, were on HRT, managed their menopause significantly better than the others who took part in the survey. 5. It will be noted from the above that women's degree of climacteric symptoms showed a negative correlation to the management of menopause(r=-0.2146, p<0.001). The findings shown above suggest the need to develop a variable management of menopause, in order to improve climacteric symptoms of middle-aged women. It is hoped that the above findings will stimulate more detailed research into this matter, and thereby enable guidance to be given to women going through the menopause to cope with it in a less stressful way.
