Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe pregnant women's lived experiences of hospitalization due to preterm labor in Korea. Methods: This qualitative study adopted a phenomenological approach. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with nine participants, over the age of 20 years, who had been hospitalized for more than 1 week after being diagnosed with preterm labor. All interviews were audio-taped and verbatim transcripts were made for analysis. The data were analyzed following Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: The participants' ages ranged from 26 to 36 years, and all were married women. They were hospitalized for 13.1 days on average. Five thematic clusters emerged from the analysis. 'Withstanding hospitalization for the fetus's well-being' describes women's feelings during preterm labor and their endurance during their prolonged hospitalization, rooted in their conviction that the fetus comes first. 'Endless frustration in the hospital' encompasses women's emotions while lying in bed and quietly thinking to themselves. 'Unmet physiological needs' describes participants' awareness of their inability to independently handle human physiological needs given the need for careful and limited movement. 'Gratitude for the support around oneself' reflects the support from family and medical staff. 'Shifting perceptions and accepting one's circumstances' describes accepting hospitalization and making efforts to spend their remaining time in the hospital in a meaningful way. Conclusion: The findings in this study provide a deeper understanding and insights into the experiences of Korean women with preterm labor during hospitalization, underscoring the need to develop interventions for these patients.

Purpose: This is a phenomenological study to improve the quality of nursing and understand its essence by comprehensively analyzing job experience of nursing managers in small and medium. Methods: This study focused on deriving the common empirical attributes of all the study participants, rather than their individual attributes. Data on the job experiences of nine nurse managers in small and medium-sized hospitals were collected and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Result: The job experiences of nurse managers in small and medium hospitals were classified after analysis into 14 theme cluster sets and 34 themes in five categories. The categories derived were 'A feeling of pressure as if taking responsibility for the entire hospital', 'Taking on the difficulties of hiring a nurse alone.' 'Difficulty in mediating conflicts within the organization', 'Struggling to endure', 'To take root in the field with a sense of ownership'. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in helping nursing managers in small and medium hospitals perform their duties more efficiently and stably by understanding their job experience.

This study is a phenomenological qualitative study that confirms the structure of college students' thoughts on artificial abortion. The data collection period was from 5 March to 10 April 2022. To this end, a total of three interviews were conducted on seven college students aged 20 to 25. Interview data were conducted through analysis and interpretation using the phenomenological research method, the Giorgi method, and as a result, 40 semantic units were derived, grouped into six sub-components, and divided into three categories. As a result of the analysis, college students' thoughts on artificial abortion consisted of fetal rights, respect for women's rights, and choices for a healthy life. Based on the above meaning, college students' thoughts on artificial abortion were, in conclusion, that considering the happiness of the baby and the quality of life of the woman, consideration for non-marriage mothers was more urgent than legal sanctions, and that abortion was not irresponsible. Accordingly, this study suggests that understanding and consideration for pregnant women should be prioritized over legal sanctions.

본 연구는 학교 밖 청소년 관련 기관에서 근무하고 있는 현장전문가들의 활동경험에 대한 본질적 주제와 의미를 탐색하고 이해함으로써 학교 밖 청소년복지 실천을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구참여자들은 7명이며, 심층면담을 실시하여 Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법으로 분석하였다. 학교 밖 청소년 관련 기관 현장전문가의 경험은 진술한 의미를 가지고 주제 17개로 재조직화 후 5개의 범주로 합치기가 되었다. 경험의 5개의 범주는, "즐겁지 않은 학교", "행복하지 않은 가족", "아픔 뒤에 혹은 핑계 뒤에 숨는 아이들", "찾을 수 있을 때까지 같이 가보자", "세상이 바뀌었으면"으로 나타났다. 학교 밖 청소년들이 학교를 떠날 것을 결심하는 것에서부터 학교를 떠나고 학교를 떠난 후 생활에 대한 과정을 직접 듣고, 함께 생활하면서 겪은 현장전문가들의 실질적 지원과정의 경험을 이해할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 청소년복지정책에 기여하고 실천적 지원방안 모색에 기초자료가 될 것이다.

이 연구는 장기간 운동에 참여한 여성 노인들의 긍정심리자본 경험과 긍정심리자본 획득·발달에 영향을 미치는 요인을 심층적으로 이해하기 위하여 수행된 현상학적 연구이다. 우리나라는 여성이 남성보다 평균연령이 8세나 높고, 도움이 필요한 국내 노인 중 2/3가 여성이므로 여성 노인 문제에 관한 연구는 시급하다. 연구참여자는 서울시에 소재한 스포츠 센터 소속 여성 노인 7명이다. 자료수집은 2020년 3월부터 5월까지 1회 90~180분, 각 참여자당 2회의 심층 면담을 통해 진행되었으며, Colaizzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 규칙적인 삶, 관계α관심의 삶, 변화하는 삶, 만족하는 삶이 노인 여성의 긍정심리자본을 획득α발달시키는 요인으로 나타났으며, 이것은 건강을 유지하고, 규칙성과 관계성을 유지하여야 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 운동으로 긍정심리자본을 획득하며 성공적인 노화를 이루어낸 참여자들의 경험은 고령 사회문제에 해법으로 제시되며, 나아가 노년기를 앞둔 청·장년층에게 성공적 노화를 위한 건강한 길잡이 역할을 할 것으로 예상한다.
