본 연구는 한국의 일반 성인을 대상으로 삶의 중요 영역에서의 웰니스(wellness) 추구 행동을 측정하기 위한 척도를 개발하고 타당도를 검증하였다. 웰니스 척도개발을 위하여 문헌 검토, 전문가 인터뷰, 심층 인터뷰, 개방형 설문 1, 2차를 거쳐서 도출된 31개 요인, 182문항은 최종 10개 요인, 99문항으로 선정하였다. 한국의 일반 성인 351명을 대상으로 한 예비조사 결과의 탐색적 요인분석을 통해 10개 요인 58문항을 도출하였고, 각 요인에서 중요한 개념을 반영한 문항들을 일부 수정해서 10개 요인 63문항으로 본조사를 실시하였다. 667명을 대상으로 진행된 본조사에서는 본 검사의 구성개념 타당도를 검증하기 위해 전체 표집을 두 집단으로 나누어 한 집단은 탐색적 요인분석을 하고, 또 다른 집단은 확인적 요인분석을 하였다. 탐색적 요인분석 결과 최종적으로 10개 요인(일, 공동체, 가족, 타인, 경제력, 자아존중, 여가, 신체 건강, 영성, 자기 성장) 63문항을 도출하였으며, 구조방정식 모형을 이용한 확인적 요인분석에서는 모형적합도 기준을 충족하고 있는 것을 검증하였다. 도출된 웰니스 척도와 그 하위요인들이 실제로 웰니스를 측정하는지를 검증하기 위하여 정신적 웰빙 척도(K-MHC-SF)와 웰니스 지표(Wellness Index for Workers)를 사용하여 수렴 타당도가 검증되었다. 준거 관련 타당도 검증을 위해 주관적 행복감(Subjective Happiness Scale)과 삶의 만족 척도(Satisfaction with Life Scale) 변인과 요인들 간의 관계를 분석한 결과 유의한 상관으로 나타났다. 다중회귀분석을 통해 각 경로에 유의성을 확인한 결과 웰니스 척도의 '자아존중' 은 주관적 행복감과 삶의 만족감에 가장 중요하게 영향을 미치는 요인으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로 본 연구 과정과 결과에 대한 논의와 학문적 의의 및 실무적 의의, 그리고 제한점과 미래 연구 방향을 제시하였다.

At the start of the new century, South Africa probably had the largest number of HIV-infected people of any country in the world. The only nation that comes close is India with a population of one billion people compared to South Africa's figure of 57 million. The tragedy is that this did not have to happen. South Africa was aware of the dangers posed by AIDS as early as 1985. In 1991, the national survey of women attending antenatal clinics found that only 0.8percent were infected. In 1994, when the new government took power, the figure was still comparatively low at 7.6 %. The 2004 figure which has been published is 26.5%. This article tracks the epidemic globally, in the region and in South Africa. I explain some of the basic concepts around the disease and look at what may happen with respect to numbers. The situation is bad, and the number of people falling ill, dying and leaving families will rise over next few years. This will impact on South Africa in a number of important ways. This article assesses the demographic, economic and social consequences of the epidemic. It disposes of a number of myths and present the real facts. The AIDS in South Africa is not related to individuals only. It warns that AIDS in Africa is becoming a community and systemic problem. The acuteness of the problem does not stem merely from the fact that communities are affected, or could even be wipe out by the end of this decade, but from the fact that AIDS will place incredible burdens and obligations upon medical services, health care and religious communities such as churches. The facts confront churches' mission with the important question: who is going to take care of all the patients and where? The reality is that people dying of AIDS will have to be cared for at home by relatives and friends. A further question that arises is whether our people are prepared for this. AIDS was considered to be a homo-plague and the hunt was on for a scapegoat in the light of the fatal implication of the disease. At present we are in the strategic phase where we all realize that it will be of no avail to scare people with the ominous threat of AIDS AIDS destroys the optimism of our achievement ethics. This exposure of the culture of optimism is also an exposure of the so-called 'human basic fear which accuses Christianity that their concept of sin is a damper on man's search for liberation and basic need to be freed from all Imitation. AIDS is also a test for our ecclesiastical genuineness and the sincerity of our mission sensibility. It poses the question: How unconditional is Christian love? Is there room for the AIDS sufferer in the community of believers, despite the fact he is an acknowledged homosexual? The question to put to the church is whether the community of believers is an exclusive to put to the koinonia which excludes homosexuals. They may be welcome on principle, but in actual fact are not acceptable to the church community. As South Africa enters the new century, it is clear that the epidemic is not having a measurable impact. However, the impact of AIDS is gradual, subtle and incremental. The author's proposal of what is currently most needed in South Africa is that the little things will make a difference. It's about doing lots of little things better at grassroots level, with the emphasis on doing. There are so many community, churches and NGOs initiatives worth building on and intensifying. One must not underestimate the therapeutic value of working together in small groups to overcome a problem
