이 연구는 클랜디닌과 코넬리가 제안한 내러티브 탐구방법을 활용하여 은퇴 노인들의 도서관 이용경험을 탐구한 것이다. 도서관이라는 공간을 이용하는 것이 은퇴노인들의 삶에 가져다 준 변화의 구체적이고, 심층적인 내용을 파악하고, 그것이 삶에 가져다주는 의미를 점검하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해서 서울 시내 공공도서관을 이용하는 세 사람의 은퇴 노인을 연구참여자로 선정하여 인터뷰하였고, 이를 바탕으로 현장텍스트를 구성하였다. 현장텍스트를 바탕으로 연구참여자들의 이야기는 소설, 에세이, 편지 형식의 연구텍스트로 재구성되었다. 이들의 도서관 이용 경험은 각각 규칙적인 생활을 위한 거점, 재미와 활력, 새로운 꿈꾸기를 위한 보물창고, 노년을 견디는 위안의 원천으로 해석되었다. 책읽기를 통한 건강한 삶에의 지향이라는 공통점을 발견할 수 있었다. 연구의 결과는 공공도서관의 노인 이용자에 관한 이해를 확충하는 데 유용하고, 서비스 개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

Medicinal plants and their products are popular in Estonia. There are two approaches to use of herbal products: first, that based on traditions and practical experience and, second, that supported by scientific evidence. It is important to marry these two approaches. One place where traditions and new knowledge could meet is the pharmacy. In this study we evaluated knowledge about the use and safety of herbal products of pharmacy customers in South-Estonia. A convenience sample of pharmacy customers in south Estonia (n = 196) participated in the study. Of the survey participants, 76% were frequent or occasional users of herbal products and considered these products safe (75%) and effective (73%). Herbal products were mostly (91%) consumed for prophylaxis or treatment of minor illnesses. Main information sources about herbal products were pharmacists (75%) and package information leaflets (65%). Mode of action (95%), administration (81%) and indication (77%) were the information details more frequently sought from the pharmacy about herbal products. Of the survey participants, 22% described some problems connected with the use of herbal products. Herbal products are popular in Estonia and pharmacists have an important role in counselling on these products. Despite knowledgeable use of herbal products and infrequent experience of side effects with these products, safety issues should be more stressed in the providing of information details to pharmacy customers.
