본 연구는 독거노인의 고독감과 죽음준비 관계에서 자기통제감의 매개효과를 살펴보고자 한 것이다. 연구대상은 B 지역 소재 노인복지관과 재가복지기관의 서비스를 이용하고 있는 독거노인으로 설문지 총 201부를 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사대상자 개인특성에 따른 고독감과 자기통제감의 차이를 살펴 본 결과, 남성이 여성보다, 종교가 없는 경우, 그리고 자가 소유가 아닌 경우 고독감이 높게 나타났으며, 월소득이 높고, 자가 소유이며 경제활동을 하고 있는 경우에 자기통제감이 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 고독감과 죽음준비와의 관계에서는 입원력이 있고 고독감이 낮은 경우에 죽음준비 활동이 높아지는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 자기통제감에 대한 영향요인을 분석한 결과, 고독감이 낮을수록 자기통제감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 이러한 자기통제감은 고독감과 죽음준비와의 관계에서 부분매개효과를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 독거노인의 고독감을 낮추고 자기통제감을 강화하여 죽음준비를 활성화할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다.

Living arrangement is considered an important variable in discussing loneliness and the psychological state of the elderly. From this point of view, this study aimed at Identifying the effects of living arrangements, sociodemographic variables, social activities, and social psychological variables on the psychological loneliness of the rural elderly. Though hierarchical regression analyses. the predictors of loneliness among the rural elderly were identified as single/co-residence living arrangement(r=.49), sense of well-being based on respects for others' perspectives (r: -.22), needs for remarriage (r=.22), and work hours during off- farming season (r: -.19). The effects of living arrangement remained strong and were not influenced by the addition of sociodemographic variables, social activity variable, and social psychological variables. The feeling of loneliness of the elderly who were living alone was higher than among the elderly who were living with someone else. This finding suggests that the loneliness of the rural elderly derives primarily from the lack of family Interaction. Therefore, it is recommended that social welfare policies for the rural elderly be designed to improve their family and social interactions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence depression, suicidal thought, and life satisfaction of Korean elders. Method: The subjects for this study were 219 Korean elders living in three different provinces. The data was collected using structured questionnaires from October through December, 2007. Result: There were statistically significant differences in the levels of depression, suicidal thought, and life satisfaction according to age, health state, sleep state, economic state, feeling of loneliness, feeling of abuse, and having friends or neighbors. Suicidal thoughts correlated less with the above factors than depression did. Depression significantly correlated with age, life satisfaction, loneliness and suicidal thought. Suicidal thought was influenced significantly by depression. Life satisfaction was influenced significantly by depression, health state, and economic state. Conclusion: It could be concluded that nursing interventions for reducing depression and suicidal thought should be developed to improve life satisfaction and the health state of Korean elders as well as to relieve their feelings of loneliness.

With the rapid growth of the internet, Social Network Services (SNSs) have played an important role. As the use of SNSs increases, users experience a sense of responsibility to respond to other people's messages or requests, and consequently experience an social overload, feeling too much social support for other users. In this study, we examined the effects of social overload on loneliness and SNS discontinuous usage intention. To verify the research model, data were collected from 83 SNS users and analyzed using SmartPLS, a structural equation modeling tool. The results of this study showed that the communal orientation and the degree of use of SNS influenced the social overload, and the social overload had a significant effect on loneliness and SNS discontinuous usage intention. The findings of this study are expected to help understand the social overload and loneliness in the use of SNS, and may also provide a strategic direction for SNS service providers.

본 연구는 일반학급에서 영재아동과 일반아동이 지각하는 교우관계와 초등과학 영재아동이 과학영재학급과 일반학급에서 지각하는 교우관계를 각각 비교하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 연구를 위하여 과학영재학급에 등록된 영재아동 147명과 일반학급의 일반아동 253명을 대상으로 교우관계 만족도, 아동이 느끼는 외로움, 교우관계의 질, 사회성을 측정하는 설문을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 일반학급에서 영재아동과 일반아동이 지각하는 교우관계에서는 '아동이 느끼는 외로움', '교우관계의 질'에서 영재아동이 일반아동에 비하여 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고, 일반학급과 영재학급에서 느끼는 영재아동의 교우관계에서는 '교우관계의 만족도'와 '교우관계의 질'에서 일반학급보다 과학영재학급에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 그리고 일반아동에 비하여 영재아동의 상호적인 교우관계 빈도가 더 높았다.

본 연구는 도시노인의 외로움 정도와 영적 요구를 파악하고 이들의 관련성을 규명함으로써 심리적인 건강과 영적 건강에 대한 이해를 증진시키고, 영적 돌봄의 필요성을 재확인하여 간호사의 역할 확대 및 노인전문간호사 역할 확립에 기여함은 물론 도시지역 경로대학의 건강 관련 교육프로그램 또는 영적 돌봄 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 실시하였다. 연구대상은 서울시 K구에 거주하면서 S교회 경로대학에 다니고 있는 65세 이상의 노인으로서 의사소통이 가능하고 본 연구에 동참하기를 수락한 노인 159명으로 하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 외로움 정도는 평균 2.02점(4점 만점)이었으며, 영적 요구는 평균 4.51점(5점 만점)으로 조사되었고 사랑과 유대감 영역이 가장 높았다(4.66). 외로움과 영적 요구는 역 상관관계가 있어서(r=-.31, p<.001) 외로움이 클수록 영적 요구도는 낮았고 종교 예식에 참여하는 경우(p=0.032), 80세 이상 생활보조금을 받는 여성의 영적 요구가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 노인들의 외로움을 감소시키기 위한 영적 간호중재 전략이 필요하다.

The philosophers think that the increase of loneliness in technological society is caused by the reduced feeling to some extent. They started to think the integral feeling in terms of existentialism away from Visualcentrism. It is apparent that in architectural design a concrete feeling(sense) out of Visualcentrism of modern architecture is reflected in a architecture. In particular, the architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Steven Holl, Peter Zumthor, Kuma Kengo think that the existential value of the objects is important and would like to reflect the existence of materials on architecture. This study is to analyze the common points and different points regarding how in these works sensible experiences are approached. The results show that these works have common features containing escape from visual formativeness in the space, pursuit of locational connection, study on pure essence of the materials, and reflectance of the feeling of depth and motility. In addition, the actual beings of the materials for this feeling were mainly used and showed some difference in terms of the usage of local materials, natural environment, five senses of body. This study is important in the point of view that there are few researches that compared with the characteristics of architects' works while there were many researched that treated architecture as sensible view.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with social isolation in older adults using a senior welfare center. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey. Data was collected from June to August 2006 using a questionnaire. A total of 248 older adults responded. Results: About one third (34.9%) of participants responded they felt socially isolated. There were statistically significant differences in living, religion, family and belongingness social support, loneliness, depression, family function, perceived health status, and number of chronic illnesses between socially isolated and non isolated groups. However, factors influencing social isolation were family function (OR=0.954, CI=0.926-0.982), loneliness (OR=1.042, CI=1.002-1.083), depression (OR=1.041, CI=1.002-1.081), and number of chronic illness (OR=1.657, CI=1.153-2.382). Conclusion: We found that some older adults were feeling socially isolated even though the senior welfare center was a good place to meet people. The findings of this study indicated that older adults suffering from social isolation need special attention and may benefit from interventions which promote health and social interactions. Further studies are needed to develop and evaluate an intervention program for this population.

본 연구는 독거노인을 대상으로 독거노인의 외로움에 대한 경험을 분석하기 위한 포커스그룹 면담을 적용한 질적내용분석 연구이다. 본 연구 대상자는 D시 노인복지관을 방문하는 65세 이상 독거노인 28명을 대상으로 수행하였다. 연구대상자는 28명의 대상자를 5그룹으로 나누어 각 그룹 당 50-70분의 면담을 진행하였으며, 연구대상자의 연구참여 자발성에 대해 충분히 설명하였다. 본 연구결과 '피할 수 없는 쓸쓸함', '어쩔 수 없는 죽음', '내 삶의 수용' 인 3개의 주제모음과 '배우자의 부재', '자녀를 위한 독립', '주변인(친구)의 죽음', '홀로 남겨진 죽음의 두려움', '내려놓기', '내 건강 챙기기', '나만의 방식으로 외로움 달래기' 의 7개 주제가 도출되었다. 본 연구에 참여한 독거노인 연구대상자들은 어쩔 수 없는 외로움에 대해서 표현하였고, 스스로 외로움을 극복하기 위한 노력도 표현하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 추후, 독거노인의 심리적 외로움 극복을 위한 다양한 방안 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
