Purpose : Wellness tourism is defined as travel for the purpose of promoting health and well-being through physical, psychological, or spiritual activities. The development and verification of a comprehensive wellness program for health care for workers is needed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the wellness and skin health effects of skin health programs in order to develop high-value health care services. Methods : The subjects were 15 middle-aged women who understood the research and volunteered and participated in the two-day skin health wellness program. Participants were measured to determine their wellness index and skin health twice: before and after participating in the program. Wellness index measures include comprehensive wellness, physical wellness, mental wellness, emotional wellness, social/cultural wellness, financial wellness, and environmental wellness. Skin health measurement items consisted of skin oil, skin water, skin pore, skin elasticity, skin wrinkle, and skin pigment. The skin wellness program included aerobic exercise, endurance exercise, functional food, cosmetics, herbal tea, massages, spa treatments, meditation, and marine leisure sports. The t-test analysis was used to compare the difference between wellness index and skin health measurement items before and after the program. Results : Among the wellness index items, the comprehensive wellness index (p<.05), mental wellness index (p<.05) and environmental wellness index (p<.05) showed statistically significant differences. Among skin health items, skin oil (p<.05), skin elasticity (p<.01) and skin wrinkle (p<.01) all showed statistically significant differences. There was no statistically significant difference in physical wellness, emotional wellness, social/cultural wellness, financial wellness, skin water, skin pore and skin pigment. Conclusion : This study confirmed that the two-day complex wellness program is an effective program for some items of wellness index and skin health.

최근 기업내 구성원들의 웰니스에 대한 중요성이 높아지고 있음에도 불구하고 작업장 내 웰니스가 개인 및 팀성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 확장-구축이론을 토대로 웰니스 의도, 웰니스 리더십, 그리고 웰니스 분위기가 개인과 팀 성과에 영향을 미친다는 가설을 설정하였다. 이러한 가설의 검증을 위해 11기업의 81팀 총495명을 대상으로 실증연구를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 웰니스 리더십과 웰니스 분위기는 개인의 지각된 웰니스 및 성과와 긍정적 관계가 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 개인의 웰니스 의도는 웰니스 지각에 유의미한 영향을 주지는 않았다. 그러나 웰니스 리더십과 웰니스 의도의 상호작용은 웰니스 지각에 유의미한 영향을 주었다. 또한 웰니스 분위기는 웰니스 지각과 개인성과 간의 관계를 부(-)의 방향으로 조절하였다.

현대사회에서 개인들은 건강에 대한 내적 생각을 수동적 형태에서 역동적, 적극적 상태로 생각의 전황을 이루고 있다. 이에 웰니스(wellness)에 대한 관심이 매우 높아지고 있다. 하지만 웰니스에 대한 연구는 개인의 웰니스 상태를 측정하는 지수(index)개발 정도로 한정되어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 웰니스의 주요 구성요소인 신체적, 정서적, 인지적, 사회적, 직업적 웰니스가 직장인들의 웰니스 상태에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 검증하였다. 총 494명으로부터 수집된 자료로 Partial Least Square(PLS) 접근방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 총 5가지 웰니스 구성요소 모두 웰니스 상태에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 웰니스 융복합 시스템을 개발하는데 필요한 이론적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Wheel of Wellness counseling on wellness lifestyle, depression, and health-related quality of life in community dwelling elderly people. Methods: A parallel, randomized controlled, open label, trial was conducted. Ninety-three elderly people in a senior welfare center were randomly assigned to two groups: 1) A Wheel of Wellness counseling intervention group (n=49) and 2) a no-treatment control group (n=44). Wheel of Wellness counseling consisted of structured, individual counseling based on the Wheel of Wellness model and provided once a week for four weeks. Wellness lifestyle, depression, and health-related quality of life were assessed pre-and post-test in both groups. Results: Data from 89 participants were analyzed. For participants in the experimental group, there was a significant improvement on all of the wellness-lifestyle subtasks except realistic beliefs. Perceived wellness and depression significantly improved after the in the experimental group (n=43) compared to the control group (n=46) from pre- to post-test in the areas of sense of control (p =.033), nutrition (p =.017), exercise (p =.039), self-care (p <.001), stress management (p =.017), work (p =.011), perceived wellness (p =.019), and depression (p =.031). One participant in the intervention group discontinued the intervention due to hospitalization and three in the control group discontinued the sessions. Conclusions: Wheel of Wellness counseling was beneficial in enhancing wellness for the community-dwelling elderly people. Research into long-term effects of the intervention and health outcomes is recommended.

최근 웰니스에 대한 관심이 대두되면서 웰니스와 IT 융합의 대표적인 연구로 웰니스를 위한 추천 시스템 등의 연구가 시도되었다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 웰니스 영역의 신체적, 정신적, 정서적, 사회적, 지적 영역 중 한 영역 또는 두 가지 이상의 영역만을 다루기 때문에 웰니스를 위한 추천 시 사용자들의 신뢰도와 만족도가 떨어지는 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 콘텐츠의 웰니스 영역별 특성을 통합하여 관리 및 분석할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한콘텐츠의 메타데이터 구성과 웰니스 영역별 특성분석 방법을 제안한다. 또한 사전 설문과 제안하는 웰니스 영역별 계산 방법을 적용하여 분석한 콘텐츠의 웰니스 영역별 특성의 코사인 유사도를 분석하여 제안하는 방법의 효율성을 증명한다. 이를 통해 콘텐츠의 웰니스적 특징을 분석할 수 있고, 나아가 웰니스를 위한 맞춤화된 추천 서비스가 가능해질 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a wellness index for workers (WIW) and examine the validity and reliability of the WIW for assessing workers' wellness. Methods: The developmental process for the instrument included construction of a conceptual framework based on a wellness model, generation of initial items, verification of content validity, preliminary study, extraction of final items, and psychometric testing. Content validity was verified by 4 experts from occupational health nursing and wellness disciplines. The construct validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity were examined with confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability was examined with Cronbach's alpha. The participants were 494 workers from two workplaces. Results: Eighteen items were selected for the final scale, and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported a five-factor model of wellness with acceptable model fit, and factors named as physical emotional social intellectual occupational wellness. The convergent and discriminant validity were also supported. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .91. Conclusion: The results indicate that the WIW is a valid and reliable instrument to comprehensively assess workers' wellness, and to provide basic directions for developing workplace wellness program.

Since COVID-19, many foreign tourists have visited Korea for medical tourism. When statistical data were checked from 2022, after COVID-19, the number of foreign patients visiting Korea for two years was 24.8 million, an increase of 70.1% from 2020. It was confirmed that it has achieved a 50% level compared to 2019 (Statistics Office, 2023). Therefore, to create a development plan by linking medical tourism and wellness tourism, the purpose of this study is to find the link between medical tourism and wellness tourism as big data and present a development plan. In this research method, medical tourism, and wellness tourism for two years from 2022 to 2023 from the post-COVID period as big data are set as central keywords to compare text data to find common points. When analyzing wellness tourism and medical tourism, it was confirmed that most wellness tourism had a greater frequency than medical tourism. This confirmed that wellness tourism occupies a larger pie than medical tourism. As a result, when checking the word frequency, it was confirmed that wellness tourism and medical tourism share a lot as complex tourism products, and when checking 2-gram, to attract many medical tourists, it is necessary to combine medical tourism clusters and wellness tourism according to each other's characteristics among local governments.
