Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of parent-young adult relationship and self-differentiation on interpersonal problems among 20s. Method: The subjects were 504(195 male, 309 female) young adults in their twenties. The questionnaire was consisted of measures on the Parent-Child Relationship Instrument, Self-Differentiation Inventory, and Short form of Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex. Descriptive, t-test, correlation, and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted with SPSS 23.0. Results: The major findings are as follow. First, the result showed that there were gender differences in the level of self-differentiation and interpersonal problems, while there were no differences between male and female in parent-young adult relationship. Second, correlational analyses results indicated that parent-young adult relationship was positively related with the level of self-differentiation. However parent-young adult relationship and the level of self-differentiation were negatively related with the interpersonal problems. Third, hierarchical regression analyses showed that parent-young adult relationship and the level of self-differentiation had significant influences on the interpersonal problems(moving toward people, moving against people and moving away from people among 20s). Conclusions: The results indicate that both parent-young adult relationship and the level of self-differentiation need to be considered to reduce young adults' interpersonal problems in counseling situations.

Purpose : This study aims to investigate the awareness of occupational therapists among managers and directors of adult day care centers in Korea to explore the cause of the low employment rate of these therapists and offer the results as basic data that can be used to expand occupational therapy at adult day care centers. Methods : This study collected data by conducting an online questionnaire with managers and directors of adult day care centers located in Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju, and Ulsan. A total of 70 completed questionnaires were divided into two groups a 'group with experience in occupational therapy information (OT experience)' and a 'group with no experience in occupational therapy information (OT inexperience)' and analyzed. Results : First, the 'OT experience' was found to have higher levels of awareness of the scope of work of occupational therapists than the 'OT inexperience'. Second, significant differences were found in the degree of awareness and necessity of occupational therapists and plans to employ occupational therapists later between the 'OT experience' and the 'OT inexperience'. Third, it was shown that there were significant correlations between whether the respondents were familiar with occupational therapy and the degree of awareness and necessity of occupational therapists and plans to employ occupational therapists later. Conclusion : Based on these findings, the following measures are recommended to expand the area of occupational therapy in adult day care centers, the need for occupational therapists should be mentioned in the health and welfare-related education for workers at these adult day care centers, policies such as a medical fee system for occupational therapy at these adult day care centers should be prepared.

This study examines the relationship between social support with adult children and neighbors on the life satisfaction of elderly individuals in rural areas. The analysis employed a sample of 764 elderly individuals residing in rural area. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, a chi-square test, a t-test, and a multiple regression analysis. First, the respondents reported moderate life satisfaction. Those respondents living alone were less likely to report life satisfaction than those with a spouse. Second, the respondents were more likely to be in contact with their neighbors than their adult children. Third, the respondents were more likely to receive social support from adult children than provide it to them. By contrast, the respondents were more likely to provide social support to neighbors than receive it from them. Fourth, economic status and contact with adult children and neighbors had signigicant effects on the life satisfaction of the respondents. Gender, religion, economic status, health status, increased contact with adult children, and instrumental support to neighbors had positive effects on the life satisfaction of elderly two-person household.

The purpose of this study is to provide for the basic data useful to the effective production and marketing of the foundation garment befitting adult women's shapes and preferences, and thereby, help them improve their apparel life. For this purpose, 563 Korean women aged between 20-59 were sampled to survey their recognition and actual wearing condition of foundation garments and positively identify the factors affecting the practices and thereupon, determine the correlations among them by age group. The raw data of this study is processed by SPSS Win(10.1) and analyzed by using frequency, percentage, $x^2$-test, ANOVA, Duncan-test. The most of adult women were aware of their foundation size and the absolute majority of them wore brassieres, while a half of them used the girdles. The adult women had 5.7 Brassieres and 2.2 Girdles. The use of the foundation depended much on user's age or seasons. They had begun to wear Brassieres at their age of 15 on an average and Girdle around their age of 19 depending their individual needs. It has been found through this study that adult women's is actual wearing condition of foundation garments differ by age group, which may well suggest that foundation production need to consideration this age-wise practices when setting up their foundation production and marketing strategies.

Purpose: This study attempted to identify influential variables on smoking temptation between groups: adolescent smokers and adult smokers. Method: A survey was conducted with 376 adolescent smokers in 4 high schools and 451 adult smokers in community settings in South Korea. Univariate statistics and regression were used for data analysis. Result: The most powerful predictor of smoking temptation for adolescent smokers was nicotine dependency. On the other hand, the most powerful predictor of smoking temptation for adult smokers was self-efficacy for smoking abstinence. In the high smoking temptation group, depression and nicotine dependency were the predictors for smoking temptation for adolescent smokers and nicotine dependency and pros for smoking were the predictors for smoking temptation for adult smokers. In the low smoking temptation group, cons for smoking and process of change for smoking abstinence were the predictors on smoking temptation for adolescent smokers and self-efficacy for smoking abstention and pros for smoking were the predictors on smoking temptation for adult smokers. Conclusion: There were different influential variables on smoking temptation according to age groups and level of smoking temptation. Smoking-cessation interventions should be tailored to the level of smoking temptation of the individual smokers.

Purpose: This study was done to identify predictors differentiating the preparation stage, which is the stage that the smoker is ready to quit smoking, between adolescent smokers and adult smokers. Method: A survey was conducted with 376 adolescent smokers in 4 high schools and 451 adult smokers in community settings in South Korea from August 2003 to April 2005. To identify the predictors before and after preparation in stages of change of smoking, logistic regression was done. Results: The predictors for before preparation in stages of change of smoking were process of change for smoking abstinence for adolescent smokers and depression for adult smokers. The predictors for after preparation in stages of change of smoking were self-efficacy for smoking abstinence for adolescent smoker and self-efficacy for smoking abstinence and smoking temptation for adult smokers. Conclusion: For each group, adolescent smokers and adult smokers, specific smoking intervention methods need to be developed based on the different ways individuals make the decision to quit smoking within their contexts.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore young adult donors' experiences of living donor liver transplantation. Methods: A phenomenological research method was used. The participants were two women and six men. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews from November 25th, 2019 to June 10th, 2020 and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: Five theme clusters extracted from the young adult donors' experiences were painful decision of a liver donation, the agony of both mind and body that overpowers youth, the bitter and bare face of reality that a young donor encounters, feeling the power of love that fills up the space of the organ removed, and liver donation becoming priming water for maturity. Conclusion: The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the lives of young adult donors who have experienced unexpected difficulties as well as self growth from the donation. It is expected that the results can be of use for developing and applying customized nursing interventions for management before and after liver donation among young adult donors.

목적 : 감각처리기능은 지각 및 인지기능 뿐만 아니라 작업수행을 위해서 가장 기본적으로 요구되는 능력이다. 아동의 경우 감각처리 문제로 인해 두드러지는 기능장애를 나타내지만 성인의 경우 살아가면서 감각에 적응하거나 그냥 무시한 채 지내기 때문에 흔히 감각처리기능을 간과하게 된다. 하지만 감각에 대한 생리적 특질은 변하지 않는 것이며 외부로부터 들어오는 불편한 감각자극으로 인해 우리는 무의식적으로 영향을 받고 있기 때문에 이를 조절하기 위해 본인의 감각처리특성을 파악하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile은 일상생활에 기반을 둔 감각처리기능을 설문형식으로 평가한다. 하지만 이런 설문형식의 평가는 응답자의 주관이나 그 외 다양한 요인들로 인해 결과의 타당도가 낮은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구는 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각 처리영역 점수와 촉각탐지과제를 통해 측정한 촉각역치간의 상관관계를 알아봄으로써 이 평가도구의 일부 영역 (촉각 처리영역)의 타당도를 검증하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구에서는 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역의 네 가지 항목(저등록, 감각민감, 감각추구, 감각회피)의 점수를 촉각탐지과제를 통해 얻어진 개인의 촉각역치 값과 비교하여 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 : Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역 중 저등록 및 감각추구 항목은 촉각역치 값과 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 반면 감각민감 및 감각회피 항목의 경우 촉각역치 값과 음의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 특히나 촉각의 역치가 높을수록 저등록 항목의 점수가 높게 나타났으며 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 결론 : 촉각의 촉각역치가 높을수록 감각등록이 적으며 Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile의 촉각처리영역의 저등록 관련된 설문문항이 촉각탐지과제를 통한 촉각역치 측정값과 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타나 설문문항의 타당도가 높음을 보여주었다.

Patent ductus arteriosus in adult is frequently complicated with aneurysm, calcification and pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, surgical treatment of patent ductus arteriosus in adult has some differences from that of infants and children. We have experienced 25 cases of adult patent ductus arteriosus from July 1983 to December 1994. Mean age of the patients was 26.6 years[16-59 years . There were 12 males and 13 females. Exertional dyspnea was the most frequent clinical manifestation. Pulmonary hypertension was present in eight patients. Ligation was done in 20 cases and surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass was done in 5 cases. There was one hospital death, which had a 5x5cm sized main pulmonary artery aneurysm and was operated under cardiopulmonary bypass. Recanalization occured in one patient who received Teflon-felt supported ligation. Although one case of recannalization after ligation was present, we believed the fact that ligation was safe and simple method of operation in adult patent ductus arteriosus without calcification and aneurysm.
