Data were collected through individual semi-structured interviews. The sample comprised 11 women with breast cancer receiving treatment. Results: At the end of the interviews conducted with women with breast cancer, two main themes were identified: adjustment and facilitating coping factors. The adjustment main theme had two sub-themes: strains and coping. Women with breast cancer suffer physical and psychological strains as well as stress related to social and health systems. While coping with these situations, they receive social support, turn to spirituality and make new senses of their lives. The facilitating coping factors main theme had four sub-themes: social support, disease-related factors, treatment-related factors and relationships with nurses. It has been determined that women receiving good social support, having undergone preventive breast surgery and/or getting attention and affection from nurses can cope with breast cancer more easily.

Background: Cancer is a disease which affects not only patients but also their families physically and emotionally. The purpose of this study was to determine the needs, challenges and ways of coping of caregivers of cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In the study, a phenomenological approach was used. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews. The study sample comprised 16 family members providing care for a cancer patient. Results: The study findings are grouped under four main themes: the impact of caregiving, masking feelings, experienced challenges and expectations, and coping. During the caregiving process, patient relatives are affected physiologically, psychologically and socially. It was determined that patient relatives hid their feelings and avoided talking about the disease for fear that they might upset the patient, and that they had difficulty in coping with the patient's reactions during the treatment process. Family members had difficulties arising from the health system, hospital conditions and treatment in addition to transportation and financial problems. Support is very important in coping, but it was determined that some of the relatives of patients did not receive adequate support. Patient relatives expect that health care professionals should provide them with more information about their patient's condition and the course of the disease that their patients should be dealt with by the physicians specialized in cancer, and that psychological support should be provided both for them and for their patient. Conclusions: During the caregiving process, family members are faced with many difficulties and they exhibit different coping behaviors which health care professionals should take into account.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of coping behaviors of non-professional working mothers and find out the individual and situational factors which affect the degree of coping behaviors. For this research, the working mothers in non-professional job with children under age 18 answered the structured questionaire. The findings were as follows. First, the degree of coping behaviors was rather high in multiple role management strategies, strengthening family system and positive thinking, but rather low in housework socialization and role reduction/standard adjustment. Second, the effect of associated variables were different according to the subcategories of coping behaviors. So we conclude that, the coping behaviors of the non-professional working mothers were different from those of professional working mothers in some aspects, althought they have much similarities. The different aspects were 1) The relationship of family income and the degree of housework socialization was more evident. 2) The work-related variables did not affect the coping process significantly because of the conservative sex-role attitued of them. Second, non-professional working mothers should use coping behaviors such as housework socialization, role reduction/standard adjustment more for the more effective management of the role strain. Third, the attitude of occupational and parental role was one of the most important factors in using the role strain coping behaviors. And such an unconscious use of the coping behavior won't be helpful in the feeling of control over environment including role strain and active coping of working mothers.

본 연구는 기업 팀장이 인식하는 팀원과의 의사소통 과정을 깊이 있게 탐색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울·경기 지역의 대기업, 중견 기업, 외국계 기업의 팀장 10명을 대상으로 심층면접을 진행하였고, Strauss와 Corbin이 제시한 근거이론 연구방법 절차에 따라 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따라 총 51개의 개념과 17개의 하위범주 그리고 8개의 범주가 도출되었다. 인과적 조건으로는 '조직에 필요한 소통을 고민하고 재해석함'이 개념으로 도출되었고, 이에 따른 중심현상은 '업무대화와 사적대화 병행방식으로 의도적인 노력을 함'으로 나타났다. 맥락적 조건은 '환경변화에 대한 대처 필요성을 인식함', 중재적 조건은 '스스로 성찰하고 셀프코칭 시간을 가짐'이 도출되었다. 작용/상호작용 전략은 업무중심 대처, 갈등해결 대처, 관계증진 대처를 의사소통 과정으로 개념화되었고, 중심현상 상호작용 결과로서 '조직 내 선순환 소통을 인식함'으로 확인되었다. 팀장의 의사소통 과정분석 결과는 노력단계, 접근단계, 대처단계, 순환단계로 나타났고, 그 유형 분석 결과로써 업무중심 대처는 촉진자, 갈등해결 대처는 조력자, 관계증진 대처는 배려자로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기업 팀장이 팀원과의 관계에서 의사소통을 어떻게 인식하고 표현하는지에 대한 경험적 연구로 기업에서의 리더십 코칭과 리더 대상 상담에 차별적인 개입전략을 세우기 위한 정보를 제공하는데 의의가 있다.
