The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning of housework for home education. The methodology applied in this study bases on reinterpretation of references concerned with 'housework' and 'education'. The meaning of housework for home education can be analyzed in three aspects, that is, individual, domestic, and social aspect. Houseworkers be capable of developing their physical, emotional, cognitive, and social ability through houseworks. What is more, they are to internalize the culture of home and society. The meaning of housework for home education, however, has gradually been forgotten in people's mind with the appearance of rationalism of modern society. The particular process of modernization in our country has uncovered the negative aspect of housework and continually emphased that point. Thus now people consider housework as only something troublesome. The conclusion of this study is that, for the purpose of our 'noble life as man', we should recover and emphasize the importance of the meaning of housework for home education.

본 연구는 죽음준비교육 프로그램을 실시하여 대학생들의 죽음에 대한 태도와 자살생각, 삶의 의미에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 실험집단 11명과 통제집단 13명이며 실험집단을 대상으로 2014년 3월 4일부터 4월 24일까지 주 1회씩 8회의 죽음준비교육을 실시하여 통제집단과 사전. 사후검사 점수 차이를 비교하여 효과를 파악하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 비모수 통계방법인 $x^2$ test, Mann-Whitney U 검증, Wilcoxon rank 검증을 실시하였다. 연구결과 죽음준비교육 프로그램에 참여한 실험집단은 참여하지 않은 통제집단에 비해 죽음에 대한 태도와 삶의 의미에 유의미한 차이를 보였으나 자살생각은 두 집단 간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the level of senior nursing students' knowledge about palliative care, meaning of life, and willingness to palliative care and to identify factors affecting their willingness to palliative care. Methods: Data were collected from 192 senior nursing students at six nursing schools in four cities in Korea from December 8, 2022 to January 5, 2023. Descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression test were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean±standard deviation score of knowledge about palliative care and meaning of life were 8.44±2.20 and 146.48±19.32. Factors affecting senior nursing students' willingness to palliative care were the knowledge about palliative care (β=.18, p=.005), meaning of life (β=.36, p<.001), and motivation for admission into a nursing school based on aptitude and interest (β=.16, p=.020).

본 연구에서는 노인의 인식된 짐스러움과 좌절된 소속감이 자살사고에 미치는 영향을 삶의 의미가 매개하는지 규명하고자 하였으며, 또한 이 과정에서 노인 자살의 보호 요인으로 알려진 사회참여가 조절효과를 갖는지 탐색하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 호남지역에 거주 중인 남녀 노인 403명으로, 이들을 대상으로 자살사고, 인식된 짐스러움과 좌절된 소속감, 삶의 의미(의미 발견/의미 추구), 사회참여에 대한 자기보고식 설문을 실시하였다. PROCESS Macro를 사용한 매개분석 결과 인식된 짐스러움이 삶의 의미 발견을 약화시킴으로써 자살사고를 강화하는 경로임을 확인하였다. 반면 좌절된 소속감은 자살사고로 가는 직접 경로만이 유의했다. 사회참여를 포함한 조절된 매개분석 결과 인식된 짐스러움이 삶의 의미 발견 약화를 통해 자살사고로 이어지는 경로를 사회참여가 조절하는 것으로 나타나 조절된 매개효과가 검증되었다. 추가적으로 본 연구의 함의, 제한점 및 추후연구에 대한 제언을 제시하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the meaning of marriage and childbirth among Korean female university students living in the United States, who are influenced both by Korean culture at home and American culture in social contexts. Methods: This qualitative study used phenomenological approaches. Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with five Korean female university students living in the United States. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method to derive the meaning of marriage and childbirth. Results: From the data, 239 meaningful statements, 49 meaning formations, 22 themes, and 12 theme clusters were extracted. Additionally, five major categories emerged. These categories were 1) marriage as an opportunity for self-growth, 2) the mirror of life: parents, 3) oneself who cannot give up, 4) a desire to live a stable life, and 5) ambivalence on the culture of two countries. Conclusion: To improve the positive meaning of marriage and childbirth, a positive role model such as a happy married life of parents at home must be ensured. Finally, institutional strategies should be established to support the balance between home and work, as well as various policies which support women's pregnancy and childbirth.

본 연구의 목적은 간호 대학생의 영성, 생의 의미, 호스피스 인식, 임종간호 태도 정도를 파악하고 이들 변수간의 상관관계 및 임종간호 태도의 영향요인을 파악하기 위함이다. 자료 수집은 2017년 4월 11일부터 17일 사이에 P시와 H군에 소재하는 2개 대학의 3, 4학년 308명을 대상으로 연구 참여에 서면 동의한 학생에 한해 자가 보고식 설문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료는 SPSS/WIN 14.0을 이용하여 t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, stepwise multiple regression을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 임종간호 태도는 호스피스 인식(r=.30, p<.001) 및 생의 의미(r=.30, p<.001)와 유의한 상관관계를 보였으며 생의 의미와 호스피스 인식(r=.25, p<.01), 영성과 생의 의미(r= .53, p<.01)간에도 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 임종간호 태도에 영향을 미치는 주요 요인은 호스피스 인식(${\beta}=0.40$, p<.001)과 생의 의미(${\beta}=0.27$, p<.001)로 나타났다. 호스피스인식의 설명력은 22.7%, 생의 의미는 5%로 이 두 변수의 임종간호태도에 대한 설명력은 27.7%였다. 이상의 연구결과로 볼 때 간호 학생의 긍정적인 임종간호 태도를 향상시키기 위해 생의 의미와 호스피스 인식을 포함한 임종간호 교육프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하다.

Methods: A qualitative research design was adopted using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The participants were six middle-aged men who had attempted suicide at least one time. Data were collected in 2013 through in-depth interviews. Individual interviews were recorded; and literary, art works and phenomenological literature were searched to identify the meaning of the experience. Results: The five essential themes of the life experience of middle-aged men who attempted suicide were 'Bitter reality confronted again', 'Anger buried deep inside', 'Broken family, inescapable fetters', 'Blocked relationships, closed world' and 'A step towards a new life'. Conclusion: The meaning of lived experience found in this study provides deep insight into the experience following suicide attempt in middle-aged men and crucial information to give directions to appropriate support and nursing interventions.

본 연구는 대학생의 개인적 공정세상신념, 삶의 의미 발견, 자기통제력, 공격성의 구조적 관계를 살펴보고, 이러한 관계가 성별에 따라 달라지는지 검증하고자 실시되었다. 이를 위해 대학생 427명의 자기보고식 설문자료를 수집하여 성별에 따른 다집단 분석을 실시하였다. 검증 결과, 개인적 공정세상신념은 성별과 무관하게 공격성을 직접적으로 예측하였다. 또한, 개인적 공정세상신념과 공격성의 관계에서 자기통제력의 단순매개 효과는 남녀 모두에서 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 개인적 공정세상신념이 삶의 의미와 자기통제력을 거쳐 공격성으로 이어지는 이중매개효과는 여성에게서만 유의하였다. 즉, 여성의 높은 개인적 공정세상신념이 삶의 의미 발견을 예측하며, 이것이 자기통제력과 연합되면서 공격성 저하에 기여하였다. 본 연구는 대학생의 공격성을 완화할 수 있는 구체적 기제가 성별에 따라 다르게 나타남을 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 이러한 결과에 기초하여 개입 전략에 대해 논의하였다.
