Purpose: Alcohol use in South Korean women, particularly college students, is increasing. Women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol use, which puts them at greater risk of physical and psychosocial problems. Some studies have reported that on failing to find meaning in life, many South Korean college students experience depression, subsequently using alcohol as a coping mechanism. This study aimed to develop a logotherapeutic program and identify its effects on meaning in life, depression, and problem drinking among female college students. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental trial. The participants were female college students who scored over 8 in the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Twenty-four students were assigned to the experimental group and twenty-three to the control group. Three scales were used in this study: the Purpose in Life test, Beck Depression Inventory, and AUDIT. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test in SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: After the conclusion of the logotherapeutic program, the level of meaning in life and depression were more greatly improved in the experimental group than the control group. Conclusion: The logotherapeutic program is an effective method to help female college students find meaning in life and reduce depression in this population.

This study is designed to investigate what elders think about the meaning of aging. We have used Q-methods to identify meaning of aging from elders, and developed self-referenced surveys to analyze characteristics In this study, we used a non-structured method to select Q sampling. From 183 Q populations, we selected 36 Q sampling. A total of 32 persons sixty-years or older were randomly selected for P samples, When the Q-sorting was complete, we interviewed the participants at both end of the extremes(agree or disagree), and documented their responses. We used PC QUANL to process the data and used principal component analysis for Q factor analysis. There were five subjective types for the meaning of aging by elders. Of the 32 P-samples of elders, 11 were identified as Type 1, 7 as Type 2, 2 as Type 3, 8 as Type 4, and 4 as Type 5. Type 1 : 'Matured elders' Elders wished the well being of their children, thought older persons should maintain good health, worried about becoming senile, and dependent God believing in life after death. Type 2 : 'Assertive-Rights' Elders categorized as Assertive-Rights insisted on their rights to life as a person. Type 2 elders characterized themselves as people who should keep themselves healthy, become weak and lack sexual desires, act selfish like a child, need to be protected, and be financially independent. Type 3 : 'Passive-Dependents' Elders characterize themselves as those who pray for their children's well being, worry about the children even after their death. and becoming senile. Type 4 : 'Hopeless' The 'Hopeless' type of elders characterized aging as a time to pray for their children, insignificant beings, thoughts were selfish and child-like, poor, worried about going senile, regret their life overall, and preferred to die than to live as an old person. Type 5 : 'Attached-Present' The 'Attached-Present' type of elders thought elderly characterized themselves as acting selfish and child-like, wiser, anxious, regret their life, stand aloof of greed and worldly things, being a model for the society, and deserving to be treated with filial respect. Thus far, Korean elders seemed to have a positive and negative meaning of aging due to the current changes in the society, value system, and family structures. The above five subjective meanings of aging confirm that we need to approach and nurse the elderly differently. Years of aging are a part of and a natural process of life with various physical, psychological, and sociological changes. Nurses need to assist elderly to find the positive meaning of their life by providing appropriate physical, psychological, and social support at an earlier stage in nursing. Based on this study, we could derive the following two implication from the perspectives of science of nursing to care for elders. 1) Based on the studies investigating the type of meaning of aging, we could develop tools to assist in nursing intervention programs for elderly. 2) Based on research on the meaning of aging for different developmental stages of life, we could develop a model for roles for different family members in nursing and caring for the elders.

This study was designed to examine the meaning of housing in modern Korea, and to draw the interrelationship of people and housing. In-depth interviews were conducted, and the qualitative research investigated various aspects of housing history among four individuals during the different phases of social and economic transitions. Each narratives showed the unique characteristics of life history, and the conceptual frameworks for interpretation were microsociological approach by Morris and Winter(1978) and pathway approach by Clapham(2005). One narrater named "K" had gone through various housing experiences since her birth in 1933 at a traditional Korean housing, and she moved to a traditional rural community. Another narrater called "S" was born in housing built during the Japanese colonization, gained wealth through the housing boom of the industrialization, and has lived in a suburban condominium. "G" spent her entire life in an urban area, had never owned a house, and lived in a house with poor quality. The other narrater named "L" had lived in a single-family home with a large yard since her childhood, and she has resided in multi-family housing by herself after having a lot of experiences of building houses. The results revealed that housing could play as a simple role as a shelter, be transformed over family life cycle, become prestige of extended family, social and family status, investment. Meaning of housing from the pathway approach were closely related to hometown, the relation to birth family at postmarriage, economic status, and housing experiences according to the social change. As a conclusion, the meaning of housing is vary, and housing conveys numerous implications including psychological, social and economic aspects.

본 연구는 중년기의 사회적지지, 자아존중감, 내재적 종교지향성, 희망, 영성 및 생의 의미의 정도를 확인하고 이들 변수간의 관계를 파악하여 생의 의미에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 부산시, 울산시, 양산시, 포항시에 거주하고 있는 중년성인을 대상으로 2014년 09월 20일에서 10월 31일까지 자료를 수집한 자료 중 196부를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 빈도와 백분율, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Cronbach's alpha 계수, Pearson's correlation coefficient 및 multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 사회적 지지는 5점 만점에 평균 3.94점, 자아존중감 3.32점, 내재적 종교지향성 3.54점, 희망 3.64점, 영성 3.59점, 생의 의미 점수는 3.82점이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 생의 의미 수준은 종교생활의 중요성(p<.001), 인지된 경제적 상태(p<.001)에 따라 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 생의 의미는 사회적지지(p<.001), 자아존중감(p<.001), 내재적 종교지향성(p<.001), 희망(p<.001)과 영성(p<.001)에 유의한 양적 상관관계를 보였다. 대상자의 생의 의미에 영향을 미치는 요인은 희망, 종교생활의 중요성, 영성과 유의하였고, 이중 희망이 43%로 가장 큰 영향력을 미쳤으며, 전체 설명력은 49%였다. 따라서 희망, 종교생활의 중요성, 영성은 생의 의미에 밀접한 관련성이 있으며, 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인임을 확인하였기에 중년기의 삶의 질 향상과 행복을 위한 전략 개발에 이 변인들을 높이는 전략이 고려되어야할 것으로 사료된다.

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.

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.
