Background: In Iran, there are high rates of breast cancer. It is among the five most common cancers, the first among cancers diagnosed, and is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Iranian women. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore perception of breast cancer screening among Iranian women who have never had a mammograph. Materials and Methods: The current study was part of a qualitative research conducted by means of content analysis method and purposive sampling of 16 women over the age of 30 years who had not undergone mammography using individual semi-structured interviews. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were under continuous consideration and comparative analysis in order to achieve data saturation. Results: After codification of data, three concept categories were achieved including: i) low awareness, ii) worries, and iii) lack of motivation. Conclusions: Although there is a tendency among Iranian women to participate in breast cancer screening, there is a powerful cultural belief that breasts are sexual organs that should not be discussed publicly. Due to the incidence of breast cancer in Iranian women, it is critical that breast awareness education be performed by health care experts to explore the concepts of breast cancer and breast cancer screening.

본 연구는 여성마약중독자의 단약 후 유지·재발 및 회복과정에 영향을 주는 요인들을 구체적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 마약에 중독된 이후 재발을 반복하다가 회복중인 여성 10명을 연구참여자로 선정하였고 심층면담을 실시하였다. 원자료는 Giorgi의 기술적 현상학적 방법에 근거하여 분석을 진행했다. 분석결과, 대부분 여성참여자들은 성장과정에서 주변으로부터 차별과 냉대를 겪었다. 어려운 현실로부터 탈피하기 위해 또는 호기심 때문에 마약에 빠져들었다. 마약 살 돈을 벌기 위해 유흥업소를 전전하였고 판매상으로 전락하기도 했다. 이들은 오랜기간 동안 마약의 늪에 갇혀 있었다. 이들이 선택한 마약은 극한 성적쾌락을 주었고 마약에 길들여진 몸으로 인해 쉽게 회복이 어려웠다. 재발이 반복되면서 몸과 마음은 더 피폐해졌다. 생애과정에서 경험한 다양한 트라우마는 마약중독을 더 악화시키는 요인이 되기도 했다. 하지만 종교적 회심 또는 실존적 각성, 사회적 지지는 회복과정에서 중요한 자원이 되었다. 연구결과에 근거하여 삶의 재구성에 기여할 수 있는 영성과 실존 프로그램과 트라우마 치료접근 등을 제언하고자 한다.

본 연구는 성매매 방지법을 집행함에 있어서 주된 방해요인 중의 하나로 제기되고 있는 성매매 여성에 대한 부정적인 인식을 개선하기 위하여 향후 사회를 이끌어나갈 대학생들의 성매매 여성에 대한 인식을 조사하고 이러한 인식에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 선행연구를 토대로 나이, 성별, 학년, 전공, 종교, 종교적 신념, 가정형편, 공감능력, 성 평등 의식, 음란물 시청 횟수, 성매매 경험 여부, 성매매 성폭력 인권교육 여부 등이 영향요인으로 조사되었다. 502명이 설문조사에 참여하였으며, 다중회귀분석결과 성별, 사회복지 및 신학전공, 가정형편, 공감능력, 성평등 의식이 성매매 여성에 대한 태도에 유의미한 영향을 주었으며 성평등 의식이 가장 강력한 영향을 주는 변인이었다. 즉 남학생, 사회복지 및 신학 전공자, 가정의 경제적 지위가 낮은 응답자, 공감능력과 성평등 의식이 높은 응답자가 성매매 여성에 대해 긍정적/지지적인 태도를 보여주었다. 분석결과를 토대로 대학생들의 성매매 여성에 대한 왜곡된 인식을 개선하기 위해서 공감능력과 성평등 의식을 함양할 수 있는 교양과목의 개발과 포괄적인 인성교육의 실시, 효과적인 성매매 성폭력 예방교육의 개발 등이 정책제언으로 제시되었다.
