Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the degrees of body image, self esteem and Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL), and to identify factors related to these variables in patients with Crohn's disease. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional survey design was used. The 148 participants were the patients with Crohn's disease, recruited conveniently from one metropolitan hospital located in Seoul, Korea. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN program. Results: Patients with severe illness activity reported significantly lower body images than those of the others. Education levels and working states affected self-esteem positively, while the number of operations and illness activity affected self-esteem negatively. Hospitalization and illness activity affected HRQOL negatively. Body image, self esteem, and HRQOL were positively correlated to each other with statistical significance. Illness activity was a common factor to affect body image, self esteem, and HRQOL. Body image was an influential factor on HRQOL as well as illness activity in patients with Crohn's disease. Conclusion: As a result, this study suggested a necessity for developing an intervention study to lower the illness activity and heighten the body image among the patients with Crohn's disease.

목 적：만성 신체 질환 아동의 우울, 자기 개념 및 스트레스에 대한 지각과 대처 양상에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법：연구 대상자는 서울대학교 병원 어린이 병원에 입원해 있거나 외래에 다니는 환아 13명과 정상아동 13명으로 구성되었다. 만성 질환 아동군은 Schiffer 등(1963)이 만성 환자군으로 정의한 조작적 정의에 근거하여 최소한 3개월 이상 질환을 앓고 있거나 앓았던 적이 있으며, 현재도 그 질환으로 인해 지속적인 치료를 받고 있는 정형외과, 소아과 아동을 대상으로 하였다. 정상 아동군은 그러한 병력이 없는 아동 13명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사 도구는 피어스-해리스 자기 개념 척도, 소아 우울 척도, 투사적 검사(나의 기분을 색으로 표현하기, 다른 사람으로 인한 나의 기분을 색으로 표현하기, 비속의 아이)를 실시하였다. 결 과：만성 질환 아동군과 정상 아동군을 비교한 결과, 만성 질환 아동군이 소아 우울 척도에서 유의미하게 높은 점수를 보였으며, 자기 개념 척도에서는 보다 유의미하게 낮은 점수를 보였다. 또한 자기 개념 척도의 하위 항목인'인기도' 및 '학습 상태'에서 유의미하게 점수가 낮았다. 투사 과제의 경우,'색으로 표현하기' 과제에서는 집단간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 스트레스에 대한 지각 및 대처를 평가하는 '비속의 아이' 과제에서는 하위 항목(비의 양, 기간, 도구, 효율성) 모두에서 집단간의 차이를 보였다. 비속의 아이 과제와 우울 점수, 자기 개념 점수와의 상관 계수를 구한 결과, '비가 오는 기간' 항목이 우울 점수와는 정적 상관을, 자기 개념 점수와는 높은 부적 상관을 보였다. 결 론：만성 질환 아동군이 정상 아동군 보다 더 우울하며, 자기 개념이 더 부정적이었다. 또한, 이들이 지각하는 스트레스는 상당히 지속적이고 장기적이며, 이에 대해 대처할 수 있는 스스로의 능력이나 전략을 사용하는 데 있어서는 매우 무기력한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 만성적인 신체 질환이 아동의 정신 건강 및 심리적 적응에 있어서 위험 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사해 준다.

The purpose of this study was to build a substantive theory about the experience of the maternal uncertainty in childhood chronic illness. The qualitative research method used was grounded theory. The interviewees were 12 mothers who have cared for a child who had chronic illness. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with audiotape recording done by the investigator over a period of nine months. The data were analyzed simutaneously by a constant comparative method in which new data were continuously coded into categories and properties according to Strauss and Corbin's methodology. The 34 concepts were identified as a result of analyzing the grounded data. Ten categories emerged from the analysis. The categories were lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliarity, negative change, anxiety, devotion normalization and burn-out. Causal conditions included : lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliarity and change ; central phenomena : anxiety, being perplexed ; context. seriousness of illness, support ; intervening condition : belief action/interaction strategies devotion, overprotection ; consequences : normalization, burn-out. These categories were synthesized into the core concept-anxiety. The process of experiencing uncertainty was 1) Entering the world of uncertainty, 2) Struggling in the tunnel of uncertainty, 3) Reconstruction of the situation of uncertainty. Four hypotheses were derived from the analysis : (1) The higher the lack of clarity, unpredictability, unfamiliaity, change, the higher the level of uncertainty (2) The more serious the illness and the less the support, the higher the level of uncertainty. (3) The positive believes will influence the devoted care and normalization of the family life. Through this substantive theory, pediatric nurses can understand the process of experiencing maternal uncertainty in childhood chronic illness. Further research to build substantive theories to explain other uncertainties may contribute to a formal theory of how normalization is achieved in the family with chronically ill child.

We have examined the development and conceptual definition of shamanism and divination through significant characteristics of various illnesses. However, the terrminology has been inconsistent and its real conceptual meaning is not well defined. Divination is a historically dominant religious practice which represents the core of Korean folk culture. Despite prevalent prejudice toward its primitive nature, we cannot deny its profound relationship to our unconscious, especially our reliance on its religious role whenever we face crisis or conflict. It is therefore appropriate to use the term divination in this context. Shamanism originated as humanity's oldest mode of communication with divine - a religion, The shaman is not a sorceress but a priestess, a healer, a spritual guide, a leader, a mystic, traditionally having a different significance from that of the contemporary diviner or "shaman". The traditional concept of illness has been profoundly altered to serve new functions: while the shamanistic view is based upon spiritual abduction, divination on the other hand invokes concepts of spiritual invasion phenomena such as spirit intrusion, taboo violations, soul loss, object instrusion, deviations from the appropriate spiritual path besiegement, and curess or predestination (the idea that the sufferer is born with his fate), We should therefore try to understand divination from a more holistic point of view, rather than attempting to fit it into the standrd medical illness. We must recognize divination as a phenomenon within our culture, since most people have a mixed conception of illness arising from a combination of divinational and modem concepts, Since divination's humanistic approach is ingrained in our people, to irresponsibly ignore the spiritual aspects of treatment would exert a negative influence on our culture, Especially now, while attraction is focused on Korean culture and its influence on every aspect of our livies, it is important for nurses to expand our horizons in order to create a way of nursing more suitable to Korean culture. Increased importance is now being given to the opinions of patients themselves about their own illness and health, so nurses should seek to understand how patients accept their illness and what particular kinds of help they expect to receive. Consequently, an understanding of traditional divinations will enable us to utilize these characteristics on the job in order to enhance nursing care.

This article presents a concept analysis of the gratitude experience of diseased patients. The Rodgers' Evolutionary Method was used for conducting the analysis. A search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, and Springer databases was conducted using "gratitude or appreciation or thanks" and "patient or illness" as a key word, 22 final articles were selected. Three critical attributes of gratitude in patients were identified: positive emotions, acceptance of the current status, and a driving force to plant the will of life. In addition, two antecedents of gratitude in patients were identified: interactions with people or the environment, and the perception of a favorable stimuli or help. Two consequences of gratitude in patients were identified: an increased compliance in implemented treatment, and an enhancement of trust relationship. The concept analysis describes diseased patients' gratitude. This paper will become the basis for future clinical research related to diseased patients' gratitude.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing the outcome of psychosocial rehabilitation for persons with chronic mental illness and to suggest a hypothetical model of psychosocial rehabilitation which is based on the relationship between influencing factors and then to test its fitness empirically. Method: Data was collected from persons with a chronic mental illness using a self-report questionnaire, and from their case managers using an observed rating questionnaire. A total of 220 cases were used in the final analysis, and a hypothetical model was verified through covariance structure analysis using LISREL. Result: 1) The fitness indices of the model were $X^2=133.77$ (df=48, p=.00), GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.87, RMR=2.32, NNFI=0.95 and NFI=0.95. Twelve paths among fifteen proved to be significant. 2) Psychosocial rehabilitation was influenced directly by symptoms, daily living skill and self-concept, and was influenced indirectly by the psychosocial rehabilitation program service. Psychosocial rehabilitation accounted for 32% of variance of these factors. Conclusion: This study is expected to contribute to understanding the psychosocial rehabilitation phenomena. Besides it will provide basic information for developing strategies of bio-psycho-sociological interventions and evaluations in regard to influential factors of psychosocial rehabilitation.
