Purpose: This study was a descriptive research study that investigates nurses' beliefs concerning death anxiety and spirituality. Method: The subjects were 150 nurses working at general hospitals located in Busan city. Data collection was carried out from October 15 to November 30, 2008. The study used a 'Death Anxiety Scale' and a 'Korean Spirituality Scale.' The collected data was analyzed for frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with the SPSS/WIN 17.0. Result: The level of death anxiety of the subjects averaged 3.25. In each sub-factor, 'awareness of shortness of time' was the highest at 3.57 points. Spirituality level of the subjects averaged 3.51. In each sub-factor, meaning and purpose of life was the highest at 3.70 points. In differences of death anxiety followed by general characteristics, there were significant differences according to age, and educational level. For spirituality, followed by general characteristics, there were significant differences according to age, educational level, religion, working period, and understanding about death and spirituality. There was a weak inverse correlation among fear for accidents involved with death, total spirituality level and meaning, and purpose of life. Conclusion: Future research should examine relations between nurses' death anxiety and spirituality level through random sampling and research to check psychological and social variables that influence death anxiety and spirituality. Development of a program to lessen nurses' death anxiety and to raise their spirituality level would be prudent.

본 연구는 지역사회 노인의 주관적 건강상태, 죽음불안, 삶의 의미가 신체화 증상에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 자료수집은 K도와 B시에 있는 65세 이상 노인 241명을 대상으로 2018년 2월 1일부터 3월 25일까지 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 시행되었다. 자료분석은 SPSS WIN 21.0을 이용하여 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, Multiple Regression Analysis로 분석하였다. 지역사회 노인의 신체화 증상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 삶의 의미(𝛽=-.260, p<.001), 주관적 건강상태(𝛽=-.256, p<.001), 죽음불안(𝛽=.163, p<.01) 순으로 신체화 증상에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 지역사회 노인의 삶의 의미가 낮을수록, 주관적 건강상태가 좋지 않을수록, 죽음불안이 높을수록 신체화 증상이 높아지므로 신체화 증상을 감소시키는 프로그램 개발과 적용이 필요하다.

목적: 본 연구는 자원봉사자에게 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 제공하여 죽음불안과 삶의 의미에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위하여 시도하였다. 방법: 자료수집기간은 2009년 1월 11일부터 25일까지 이루어졌다. 연구대상자는 전주시에 거주하는 자원봉사자로서 죽음준비의 목적과 내용을 소개하고 연구에 참여하고자 동의한 자로 실험군 30명, 대조군 30명으로 총 60명이었다. 죽음준비교육 프로그램은 총 5단계로, 도입단계에서 삶과 죽음의 이해, 수용단계에서 유서쓰기, 체험단계에서 입관, 나눔 단계에서 느낌 공유하기, 마무리단계에서 결단과 축복하기의 주제로 구성되어 있으며, 각 단계별 60분씩 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS version 12.0을 사용하여 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차 등의 서술통계와 사전 동질성검증은 t-test, chi-square test를 실시하였고 가설검증을 위해 ANCOVA로 분석하였다. 결과: 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 제공받은 실험군은 제공받지 않은 대조군보다 죽음불안 정도가 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(F=4.01, P=0.046). 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 제공받은 실험군은 제공받지 않은 대조군보다 삶의 의미 정도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(F=6.32, P=0.015). 결론: 죽음준비교육 프로그램은 죽음불안을 감소시키고 삶의 의미를 향상시키는데 효과적인 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 죽음준비교육 프로그램은 자원봉사자의 죽음에 대한 불안을 감소시키고 삶의 의미 향상을 위해 활용될 수 있다고 사료되며, 좀 더 다양한 자원봉사자에게 확대 적용될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Boredom is considered anxiety and is an experience accompanied by a lack of meaning because the need for meaning is not met. It is the pain that people feel without using their mind, and the suffering that people fall into the absence of desire. On the other hand, religious activities give people meaning in life, which reduces the tendency to feel bored. This study investigates whether there is a difference in boredom depending on whether individuals participate in religious activities, and to verify whether the meaning in life mediates the relationships between religious activities and boredom. We predicted that if individuals engaged in religious activities, the meaning in life would increase, and they would be less bored than those who did not. A total of 82 college students participated in this study. Results showed that there were significant differences in the meaning in life and boredom between the two groups according to whether they participated in religious activities or not. The group actively participating in religious activities had significantly higher meaning in life and lower boredom than the non-religious group. Second, the meaning in life significantly mediated the relationship between religious activities and boredom. We conclude that active participation in religious activities can increase the meaning in life and ultimately reduce boredom. Based on the results of this study, the implications and suggestions for follow-up studies are discussed.

A women's meaning about labor and delivery may influence the process of childbirth and performance of the maternal role. Therefore, negative meaning about the birth experience may have a negative impact on the childrearing. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of labor and delivery for the strategies of nursing intervention in positive childbirth experience. The data were collected through the in-depth interviews of 10 nursing college women on Jeju Island from October 2000 to January 2001. The interviews were conducted by investigator in the class room after school hours. Each interview lasted for about 30 minutes on average. Subjects were interviewed one at a time. The interviews were recorded with the consent of the subject. The data were analyzed by means of Giorgi's phenomenological analysis methods and catagorized according to the similarities of its contents. The investigator read the data repeatedly to identify the themes and the main meanings. Eight main meanings were identified as follows : 1)pain 2) shame and disgust 3)load 4)naturality 5)unreality 6)happiness 7)anxiety 8)maturity. Under these main meanings there were seventeen themes. I. Pain : (a) It's too painful (b) I don't want to deliver II. Shame and Disgust : (a) I am shameful (b) I am hateful III. Load : (a) I don't feel free (b) I have responsibility IV.

Purpose: The purpose of this methodological study was to examine the validity and reliability of a translated Korean version of Templer's death anxiety scale among older adults. Methods: The translated Korean scale was administered to 203 older people who aged over 65 years. Exploratory factor analysis was utilized to assess the factor structure of the scale. Internal consistency of the scale was determined using Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ and Guttman's split-half coefficient. Results: Factor loadings of the scale ranged from .43 to .86. The scale showed good internal consistencies of both total scale (13 items, ${\alpha}=.83$) and three sub-scales: meaning of death (6 items, ${\alpha}=.77$), death-related event (5 items, ${\alpha}=.72$), and time of death (2 items, ${\alpha}=.80$). The concurrent validity compare with Fear of Death Scale was significant. The Cronbach's alpha and Guttman's split-half coefficient were .83 and .80, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the Korean version of Templer's death anxiety scale had satisfactory validity and reliability to measure death anxiety among Korean older people.

이 논문의 목적은 롤로 메이의 실존주의 심리치료가 키에르케고어의 불안개념에 철학적 기초를 두고 있음을 밝히는 것이다. 메이는 자신의 실존주의 심리치료를 정립하는 데 키에르케고어의 불안개념을 사용한다. 키에르케고어의 불안개념과 달리 프로이트의 불안개념은 지나치게 기술적이라고 메이는 비판한다. 억압의 원인이 불안이라는 후기 프로이트 이론은 억압을 야기하는 인간관계의 중요성을 간과한다는 것이다. 주체가 타인과의 관계에 부여하는 가치의 중요성이 주체에게 생성되는 불안의 강도에 결정적이라는 것이다. 메이는 공포와 불안을 구별하는 데서 대상성의 유무를 들고 있다. 이는 키에르케고어나 프로이트에게도 공통적인데 대상이 있는 것은 공포이고 그렇지 않은 것은 불안이다. 메이는 불안을 존재론적으로 해석한다. 무/비존재에 대한 키에르케고어의 언급을 발전시켜서 불안은 비존재에 대항하여 자신을 긍정하는 존재의 경험이라고 주장한다. 메이는 키에르케고어의 자유를 가능성, 잠재성과 유사한 의미로 해석한다. 인간이 잠재성을 성취하는 문제에 직면할 때의 상황이 불안이라는 것이다. 키에르케고어에게 자유는 불안과 관련되면서 동시에 죄와도 관련된다. 메이는 이를 계승하여 죄의식과 불안을 동전의 양면으로 취급한다. 그는 죄의식을 어떤 병적인 것이 아니라 인간의 가능성의 증거로 본다. 키에르케고어는 :불안의 개념"의 부제를 '원죄라는 교의학적 문제에 관한 심리학적 관점에서의 단순한 연구'라고 적고 있다. 그가 불안과 죄의 관계를 분리할 수 없는 문제로 보았음을 드러낸다. 이러한 연구를 통해 메이의 실존주의 심리치료에서 가장 중요한 불안개념은 키에르케고어에게서 연유함을 명확히 하고자 하였다.
