본 연구에서는 중·노년기 사람들의 봉사활동이 행복 및 삶의 의미에 미치는 영향에서 자기조절과 효능감의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 서울과 수도권을 비롯한 전 지역의 기업 및 단체 등에서 중·노년기에 해당하는 588명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 봉사활동 인식이 높은 중·노년기 사람들이 그렇지 않은 사람들에 비해 행복, 삶의 의미, 자기조절 그리고 효능감에서 통계적으로 유의미하게 더 높았다. 둘째, 봉사활동과 행복 및 삶의 의미 그리고 매개변인들 간에는 정적 상관이 있었다. 셋째, 봉사활동이 행복에 미치는 영향에서 자기조절과 효능감이 유의미한 매개효과를 가지고 있었다. 넷째, 봉사활동이 삶의 의미에 미치는 영향에서도 자기조절과 효능감의 매개효과가 유의미했다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 중·노년기 사람들의 봉사활동이 행복 및 삶의 의미에 미치는 영향에서 자기조절과 효능감의 매개효과에 관해서 논의하였다.

본 연구는 인간관계가 중요한 노년기에 가족이나 친구/이웃에게 사회적 지지를 제공하는 것과 그들로부터 사회적 지지를 받는 것에 따른 차이가 있는지 살펴보기 위해 삶의 의미를 매개로 노인의 자기존중감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 부산 및 경남에 거주 중인 60세 이상 310명을 대상으로 가족 또는 비 가족과의 사회적 지지제공 및 지지받기 정도, 삶의 의미, 자기존중감을 측정하였다. 매개효과 분석 결과, 사회적 지지제공은 삶의 의미를 매개로 자기존중감에 미치는 경로가 유의한 것으로 나타나 삶의 의미의 부분매개효과가 확인되었다. 반면, 사회적 지지받기는 삶의 의미에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 양상은 가족과 비 가족에 관계없이 유사하게 나타났다. 사회적 지지제공이 삶의 의미를 통해 노년기 자기가치감을 증진한다는 결과는 인생 쇠퇴 시기인 노년기 행복의 원천으로서 친밀한 타인과의 사회적 교류의 중요성을 시사한다.

목적: 본 연구는 중환자실 간호사의 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도 및 생명존중의지에 대해 조사하여 중환자실 간호사의 죽음에 대한 올바른 인식확립을 위한 교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하고자 실시한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방법: 수도권 소재 10개 종합병원 중환자실 근무 간호사 중 연구 목적을 이해하고 참여에 서면동의한 자를 대상으로 2009년 11월부터 2010년 2월까지 3개월간 자료를 수집하여 최종 230부를 분석에 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 도구는 Inumiya(2002)가 개발한 사생관척도 중 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도, 생명존중의 4개요인 총 67문항으로 구성되었다. 자료 분석은 SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, ANOVA, Pearson's 상관계수를 확인하였다. 결과: 대상자의 죽음의미 이해 정도는 7점 만점에 평균 4.27점이었고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미(평균 4.18점)보다 부정적 의미(평균 4.38점)에 대한 이해가 더 높았다. 죽음불안은 평균 4.43점, 죽음관여도는 평균 4.12점, 생명존중의지는 평균 4.18점이었다. 죽음의미는 죽음불안, 죽음관여도와 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미와 부정적 의미, 생명존중의지와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음불안은 죽음관여도와 정적 상관관계를 보였고, 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음관여도는 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: 본 연구결과 중환자실 신규간호사는 경력간호사에 비해 죽음의미 이해 정도가 낮고, 죽음불안과 죽음관여도가 높으며 생명존중의지가 낮으므로, 죽음에 대한 자신의 견해를 정립하여 임종환자 및 가족을 간호하는 역할수행에 도움을 줄 수 있는 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 생각된다.
