본 연구는 중년기 성인의 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 심리적 요인을 확인하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 특히 중년기 성인의 불안정 성인애착(불안애착, 회피애착)과 심리적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 자신의 내적 경험을 명료화할 수 있는 능력인 정신화와 적응적 인지적 정서조절능력이 이중 매개효과를 가지는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구문제를 규명하기 위해 모바일과 오프라인을 통해 자발적으로 참여한 중년기 성인 317명(남자 117명, 여자 200명)의 설문 응답 자료를 Jamovi 2.2.5 통계프로그램을 이용하여 구조방정식 모형 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 구조방정식 모델에서 중년기 성인의 불안정 성인애착(불안애착, 회피애착)과 심리적 안녕감의 관계에서 정신화의 단순 매개효과는 모두 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 중년기의 불안정 성인애착과 심리적 안녕감의 관계에서 적응적 인지적 정서조절의 단순 매개효과는 불안애착에서만 유의미하였다. 셋째, 중년기의 불안정 성인애착과 심리적 안녕감의 관계에서 불안애착은 정신화와 적응적 인지적 정서조절을 통한 완전 이중매개효과를 보였으나, 회피애착은 부분 이중매개효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 그 범위가 점차 확대되고 있는 중년기 성인의 심리적 안녕감을 높일 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 이론적 틀을 제공하는 데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: This study examined family function and self-esteem among young and middle-aged adults with physical disabilities. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 116 adults with physical disabilities. Data were collected from 4 Community rehabilitation centers in C area from October to November 2008. All subjects were questioned about family function and self-esteem by the APGAR scale and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. SPSS/WIN 12.0 was used for descriptive analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results: Subjects had a moderate level of family function (5.31) and self-esteem (28.13). There were significant differences of family function according to age, monthly income, economic status, and disability site. There were significant differences in self-esteem according to age, gender, monthly income, and economic status. The level of family function and income were related to self-esteem. Conclusion: These findings suggest that there is a necessity to improve family function and self-esteem among young and middle-aged adults with physical disabilities. Nursing interventions should take into account the role of family function in promoting self-esteem in people with physical disabilities.

Purpose: The purpose of study was to provide basic data for developing interventions that could help middle-aged adults prepare for dignified death in the future by examining their attitudes toward death and advance directives (AD), and knowledge of AD. Methods: Data were collected through a survey of 211 middle-aged adults from January 28 to February 28, 2019, in a city located in Gangwon Province. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise linear regression were utilized using SPSS/WINdows 21.0. Results: The average score of the participants' attitudes toward death and AD, and knowledge of AD was 91.82±10.89, 15.53±4.27, 46.00±9.45, respectively. There were positive correlations between attitudes toward dignified death and attitudes toward AD, and knowledge of AD. Factors that influence attitudes toward AD were shown in the order of attitudes toward dignified death, knowledge of AD, and intentions to write AD (Adjusted R²=.24). Conclusion: For the dignified death in the future, it is necessary to provide middle-aged adults with an opportunity to think about the need of AD. In addition, extensive education and promotion of AD are required to correct the misunderstanding of AD.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a nutrition education program on metabolic syndrome in middle-aged Korean adults. Methods: A total of 411 Korean adults 30-59 years of age were allocated randomly into three groups: the nutrition education group for promoting Han-sik consumption (HG), the nutrition education group for eating balanced diet (EG), and the control group (CG). The HG and EG received four face-to-face nutrition education sessions over 16 weeks to improve nutritional problems based on the individual's usual diet. Effectiveness of the program was evaluated with the differences of self-reported dietary behaviors, dietary intakes, anthropometric measurements and biochemical indices between the baseline and the end of the nutrition education program. The changes within groups were analyzed using paired t-test and McNemar test and effectiveness among three groups was analyzed by repeated analysis of variance. Results: After the nutrition education, the percentages of participants who achieved the recommended food group consumption in the Korean Food Guidance Systems significantly increased in HG (P = 0.022). Body weight (P = 0.007), body mass index (P = 0.002), and triglycerides (P = 0.002) significantly decreased in HG. Waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure decreased in all three groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study found that tailored nutrition education program for middle aged Korean adults showed beneficial effects on improving dietary behaviors and metabolic syndrome risk factors. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of the nutrition education programs on metabolic syndrome risks.

Objective: The aims of this study were to assess the direction and degree of lip-line cant in Korean adult orthodontic patients and to identify the effects of sex and age on changes in the cant severity. Methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective study, lip-line cant was measured in the frontal photographs of 585 Korean patients (92 men and 493 women) aged 18-48 years. The outcome variables (direction and degree of lip-line cant) were assessed in terms of predictor variables (sex, age, sagittal skeletal relationship, and menton deviation angle). Results: The direction of lip-line cant did not differ according to sex, age, or skeletal classification. Patients had $1.6^{\circ}$ of lip-line cant on average before orthodontic treatment. Middle-aged adults displayed a significant trend toward a lower degree of lip-line cant compared to younger adults (p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of lip-line cant was weakly negatively correlated with age (p < 0.001). Conclusions: While the direction of lip-line cant did not differ according to the parameters explored here, the degree of cant was correlated with age in adults, independent of menton deviation. Specifically, middle-aged adults tended to display significantly lower degrees of lip-line cant than did younger adults.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the relationship between diabetes and oral health in Korean adults. Methods: We analyzed 5,319 adults who were included in the 9th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The data were analyzed for demographic characteristics, daily health care, and oral health care according to diabetic conditions using a complex sample analysis. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors influencing the oral health of patients with diabetes. Results: The factors influencing the oral health of patients with diabetes varied according to life cycle. In late middle-aged adults, statistically significant differences were observed in sex (p<0.001), educational level (p=0.030), economic activity (p=0.018), aerobic exercise (p=0.034), smoking (p=0.004), periodontal therapy (p=0.011), and prosthesis production/repair (p=0.025). In younger elderly individuals, statistically significant differences were found in terms of whether they lived together (p=0.027) and educational level (p=0.032). Conversely, no statistically significant differences were observed in the older elderly group. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the level of oral health of patients with diabetes is already determined in middle and old age; therefore, a system should be prepared to ensure that health care can be systematically performed in late middle-aged adults.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide baseline data for management policies by exploring the association between alcohol and mental health in menopause and andropause middle-aged Methods: This study used the data from from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021). Adults between the ages of 40 and 64 were considered menopause and andropause middle-aged and 7,704 of the total number of 8,549 subjects were selected as the final study subjects without missing data. Mental health was defined as depression diagnosis and suicidal thoughts, and drinking was defined as current drinking and high-risk drinking. SAS 9.4 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: There were significant differences between menopause middle-aged men and women in current drinking (83.4% for men and 66.6% for women) and in high-risk drinking (24.2% for men and 4.9% for women). The significant factors affecting the depression diagnosis were identified as economic activity, income level, and subjective health status for men and economic activity, income level, subjective health status, and smoking for women (p < .05). The significant factors affecting suicidal ideation included economic activity, income level, and subjective health status for men and economic activity, high-risk drinking, current smoking, and subjective health status for women (p < .05). Conclusion: As a result of analyzing the association between alcohol and mental health in menopause and andropause middle-aged adults, Drinking alcohol and high-risk drinking in women were associated with mental health, but insignificantly in men. Based on this study, it is necessary to program development and health education for the physical and mental health of menopausal middle-aged women exposed to alcohol, and to develop menopausal mental health management policies that take into account the gender differences.
