Moreover, they mainly seem to use a problem-focused coping and an emotion-focused coping. To use whatever copings is to improve the quality of life in the old period and very important fact to achieve their ends. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Perceived Stress and the Ways of Coping in the Elderly and to gain the baseline data for development of nursing intervention program for improve to the quality of life in the elderly. The design of this study was a correlational study. The subjects of this study consisted of 230 of the elderly living in Pusan. The data was collected from 1st July. to 1st September, 2002. The instruments used for this study were 'Perceived Stress Scale(20items, 5point. scale)' developed by Kang In(1990) and translated by Lee young-ja(1999), and its reliability is Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.89$. 'Coping Scale(30items, 4point. scale, 14 items about a problem-focused coping, 16 items about an emotion-focused coping, 4 points scale) developed by Lazarus & Folkman(1984) and translated by Yang Young-hee(1998). The reliability of this study is Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.90$. The data was analyzed by the SPSS WIN 10.0 program using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA & Scheffe test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The mean score of perceived stress was $31.75{\pm}10.23$(Min 20, Max 100), which the item mean score was $1.59{\pm}.51$(Min 1, Max 5). 2. The number of subjects in a problem-focused coping was 72(31.3%), the number of subjects in an emotion-focused coping was 158(68.7%) 3.

There was significant difference the score of perceived stress according to sex (F=-5.057, P=.000)marital status, (F=-2.909, P=.004), economic level, (F=10.243, P=.000), paticipated meeting, (F=9.346, P=.000), perceived health status(F=5.117, P=.007). 5. There was significant difference the score of problem-focused coping method according to age(F=14.200, P=.000), marital status (F=2.432, P=.0160), economic level (F=14.410, P=.000), monthly income, (F=8.300. P=.000), income resource (F=10.235, P=.000), educational level (F=15.222, P=.000), occupation (F=1.544, P=.041), paticipated meeting (F=4.936, P=.008), perceived health status(F=5.655, P=.004). And there was significant difference the score of emotion-focused coping method according to monthly income(F=4.781, P=.009), income resource(F=2.930, P=.035), educational level(F=6.101, P=.003), religionF=2.698, P=.032), paticipated meetings(F=7.285, P=.001). As a result of the study, the elderly had a bit less stress and the two-thirds of the elderly used the emotion-focused coping. Thus, the more perceived stress, the more problem-focused coping method and the more emotion-focused coping method. Accordingly, to improve the quality of life of the elderly, there needs and applies a nursing intervention program that relieves the stress and use effective coping method.

Cancer has been considered a life-threatening disease and coping patterns could have a strong impact the physical and psychological health of patients and their family. The purpose of this study was to identify the change of coping patterns according to the phases of illness in the patients with cancer and their family caregivers and to compare the coping patterns of patients with those of their caregivers. The phases of illness consisted of 1st(initial) stage, 2nd(metastatic or recurred) stage and 3rd (terminal) stage based on literature. The coping methods were measured using the modified Ways of Coping Questionnaire by Lazarus & Folkman(1984). Seventy-nine patients(35 in stage 1, 31 in stage 2, and 13 in stage 3) and ninety-two caregivers (38 in stage 1, 30 in stage 2 and 24) agreed to participate from two general hospitals in Seoul and Choongnam. No significant changes were found in the coping patterns according to the phases of illness in both groups. Patients in stage 2 and caregivers in stages 2 and 3 problem-focused coping methods were significantly used more than emotion-focused coping methods. Patients in stage 1 significantly used two coping strategies that were cognitive reconstruction and emotion expression more than caregivers. Patients in stage 2 significantly used emotion-focused coping methods including minimizing threat, blame, and emotion expression excepting wishful thinking more than caregivers. We need more research to identify the relationship between the coping methods and their efficiencies through longterm observation and attempt to develope the nursing interventions that could have an improvement on positive coping methods and provide guidance on the problems the patients experience.

본 연구는 대학생의 감성지능, 회복탄력성, 커뮤니케이션 유형이 스트레스 대처방식에 미치는 영향이 어떠한지를 밝혀내는데 목적이 있다. 대학생 303명에 대한 설문조사가 이루어졌으며 상관관계분석과 다변인 회귀분석을 실시하여 연구문제를 검증하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 감성지능이 높은 대학생일수록 처해진 스트레스 상황에서 문제중심적 대처방식, 사회적지지 추구 대처방식을 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 감성지능 중 감성조절은 문제중심 대처방식과 사회적지지 추구 대처방식에, 감성활용은 정서완화 대처방식에 영향력이 가장 크게 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 회복탄력성이 높은 대학생일수록 처해진 스트레스 상황에서 문제중심적 대처방식, 사회적지지 추구 대처방식을 많이 하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 회복탄력성 요인 중 통제성은 문제중심적 대처방식에, 긍정성은 소망적사고 대처방식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 사회성은 사회적지지 추구 대처방식에는 정적으로, 정서완화적 대처에는 부적으로 미치는 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 커뮤니케이션 유형에 따라 대학생의 스트레스 대처방식의 차이를 분석한 결과 양성적/능력있는 유형은 문제중심적 대처방식을, 여성적/순응적 유형은 사회적 지지 추구 대처방식, 소망적 사고 대처방식을 많이 사용하는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 관련 이론과 선행 연구결과를 바탕으로 평가염려 완벽주의가 정서중심 대처와 지각된 효능감을 매개로 심리적 고통에 영향을 미치는 인과적 구조모형을 설정하고, 그 적합도와 개별 변수의 영향력을 살펴보았다. 연구를 위해 서울 소재 3개의 4년제 대학에 재학 중인 241명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 전체 집단을 대상으로 모형을 검증한 결과, 평가염려 완벽주의에서 심리적 고통으로 가는 직접 경로를 제외한 완전매개모형이 자료를 더 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 성별에 따른 모형의 차이를 살펴보기 위해 다집단분석을 실시한 결과, 남학생과 여학생 집단 모두에서 완전매개모형이 더 적합한 것으로 나타나 형태동일성 가정이 성립되었고, 측정동일성과 구조동일성 가정 또한 성립되어 경로계수가 남녀집단에 따라 다르지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 남녀집단 모두에서 평가염려 완벽주의가 정서중심 대처와 지각된 효능감을 매개로 심리적 고통에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 평가염려 완벽주의, 정서중심 대처, 지각된 효능감은 심리적 고통 변량의 약 40%를 설명하였다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 상담실제에 대한 시사점과 후속연구에 대한 제언을 논하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 청소년의 스트레스 대처 행동(문제중심 대처, 정서중심 대처)이 비합리적 도박신념을 매개로 도박중독에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있었다. 이를 위해 제주지역 고등학생 377명을 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. 연구가설을 검증하기 위하여 Baron & kenny의 회귀분석 4단계를 거쳐 매개효과를 검증하였고, Sobel Test를 실시하여 매개효과에 대한 유의도를 검증하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 문제중심 대처는 도박중독과 부적 상관관계를 보인 반면 정서중심 대처는 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 문제중심 대처와 도박중독과의 관계에서 비합리적 도박신념은 매개역할을 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 정서중심 대처와 도박중독과의 관계에서 비합리적 도박신념이 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 정서중심 대처는 스트레스 상황에 놓였을 때 비합리적 도박신념을 높임으로써 도박행동을 강화시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 청소년들의 스트레스 대처기술을 향상시키고 비합리적 도박신념을 합리적으로 수정하는 프로그램 개발이 필요하며, 이것이 청소년의 도박중독을 예방할 수 있는 하나의 방안이 될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 마지막으로 이러한 결과에 대한 제한점 및 후속 연구의 방향을 제시하였다.
