Patients diagnosed with cancer face mental problems such as alienation, isolation, anxiety about death and fear, recovering from psychological difficulties. In this study, a forest healing program was provided for cancer patients to recover from psychological stress, depression, social isolation and self-esteem caused by cancer and changes in salivary cortisol through psychological and emotional recovery were measured. From September 19 to November 28, 2017, a forest healing program composed of a total of 10 sessions, two hours per session was provided for 12 cancer patients in the Forest of Taegyo located in Yongin. Psychological tests were performed with Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS), Korean-version Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 18.0. The salivary cortisol level was measured along with the psychological tests and were analyzed by a specialized testing agency. The results of the analysis showed that the pre- and post-assessment score of SASS was 29.17 and 25.92, respectively, and that the pre- and post-assessment score of PSS was 30.50 and 23.92, respectively. The pre- and post-assessment score of BDI was 41.00 and 34.83, respectively, which showed significant differences. In addition, the pre- and post-assessment level of saliva cortisol was 3.13 and 1.68, respectively, showing a significant decrease. In short, the forest healing program was found to be effective in reducing physiological changes caused by social isolation and stress due to the emotional and psychological difficulties that the subjects who were diagnosed with cancer and were recovering from it have. In the future, it will be necessary to develop and implement a forest healing program by conducting a forest healing requirement survey on cancer patients.

This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of paternal and maternal grandmothers' social support, and to investigate the relationship between paternal and maternal grandmothers' social support and their school-aged grandchildren's psychological adaptation. The participants of this study were 215 students in the 5th and 6th grades and their mothers residing in Daegu. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, paired t-test, ANOV A, Scheffe's test, and hierarchical multiple regression. Findings of this study are as follows: 1. School-aged children perceived that their maternal grandmothers rendered more emotional and informational support than their paternal grandmothers. 2. Paternal grandmother's social support as perceived by the grandchild varied significantly with the frequency of face-to-face contact, the frequency of phone contact, and the friendship between the paternal grandmother and the mother. Maternal grandmother's social support as perceived by the grandchild, on the other hand, varied significantly by the level of grandmother's education, the frequency of face-to-face contact, and the frequency of phone contact. 3. Perceived paternal and maternal grandmothers' social support had indirect impacts on grandchildren's depression, which was mediated by their mothers' parenting.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to explore the adaptation experience of adolescent cancer survivors during and after cancer treatment, and their perceived social support networks. Methods: This study was a qualitative descriptive study using the in-depth interview. Eight adolescent cancer survivors who were diagnosed with cancer between 11 to 18 years old participated in the study. Results: The adaptation experiences of adolescent cancer survivors over time were identified within five categories for during their treatment such as "being catapulted from one's life," "standing at the center of discomfort," "falling behind the line," "accepting the change," "being developed", and another five categories for after the treatment including "being shackled," "encountering the forgotten reality," "overcoming and emerging from the reality," "growing into adulthood," "entering into a new orbit." Participants reported the various members of their social support network and their roles during and after the treatment as well. Conclusion: While adolescent cancer survivors adjusted to their changing situations after the cancer diagnosis, their internalized adaptation, as well as perceived social support from their diverse surrounding network, played significant roles. These findings will become a valuable asset for developing age-appropriate nursing interventions to promote psychosocial adjustment of adolescents with cancer.

친밀한 친구 관계를 맺고 소속감을 느끼는 것은 청소년의 심리·사회적 발달 및 적응에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 소속감 지향성은 소속감을 추구하는 동기로, 성장 지향성과 결핍감소 지향성으로 구분된다. 성장 지향성과 결핍감소 지향성은 심리적 적응 및 대인관계 특성에 서로 다른 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 청소년의 소속감 지향성이 심리적 적응과 친구 네트워크에 미치는 효과를 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 한 중학교의 2학년 전체 학생을 대상으로 학기 초와 학기 말에 검사를 실시했다. 친구 네트워크는 네트워크 수신 중심성 분석을 통해 측정했다. 다층 회귀모형을 사용한 분석 결과는 첫째, 학기 초의 외로움과 스트레스에 대한 성장 지향성의 효과는 학기 초 친구 네트워크 중심성을 분석 모형에 함께 투입해도 유의했으나, 결핍감소 지향성의 효과는 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 성장 지향성은 학기 말의 친구 네트워크 중심성을 유의하게 예측했다. 이러한 효과는 학기 초 친구 네트워크 중심성과 학기 말 심리적 적응 수준을 분석 모형에 함께 투입해도 유의했다. 셋째, 학기 말의 심리적 적응에 미치는 학기 말의 친구 네트워크 중심성의 효과는 학기 초 및 학기 말의 심리적 적응을 모형에 함께 투입해도 유의했다. 본 연구는 단기-종단적 설계를 통해 소속감 지향성이 청소년의 학기 초와 학기 말의 심리적 적응과 친구 네트워크 수준에 미치는 효과를 경험적으로 밝혔다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 끝으로, 본 연구의 한계점 및 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 논의했다.

이 연구는 출소자의 심리건강이 지역사회적응에 미치는 영향을 위험요인과 보호요인으로 구분하여 관계를 검증하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 한국법무보호복지공단에서 합동결혼지원을 받은 출소자 216명을 대상으로 수행한 설문자료를 분석하였고, 분석의 결과, 인구사회학적 특성 중 최종학력, 배우자 유무, 월수입 등이 출소자의 지역사회 적응에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 심리건강의 위험요인 중 우울과 대인예민성이 높을수록 지역사회 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 심리건강 보호요인인 자존감이 높을수록 위험요인인 우울과 대인예민성의 영향력을 감소시켜 지역사회 적응에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 종합해보면, 높은 자존감은 출소자들이 출소 후 사회생활 만족도를 높이는 데 기여하고, 위험요인을 긍정적 삶의 변화로 촉진시켜 부정적 상황을 억제하며 성공적인 지역사회 적응의 가능성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이 연구는 출소자의 성공적인 지역사회 적응을 위해 심리적 요인 중에서 자존감이 가장 중요한 요인이라는 것을 확인하였지만, 출소자의 지역사회 적응과 재범예방을 위해서는 심리적 요인만으로는 해결될 수 없기에 관련된 후속연구 및 다각적 지원이 필요할 것이다.

본 연구는 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 한국사회 적응과정과 사회적 지지의 경험에 관한 심층적 이해를 제시하고, 사회복지 및 거시적 차원에서 적응을 위한 적극적인 지원과 해결방안을 모색하는데 그 목적이 있었다. 본 연구는 사례연구조사를 실시하여 '범주화' 하였고, '학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 초기적응과정 네트워크' 를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과로는 첫째, 연구참여자들은 경제적 적응을 제일 힘겨워하였고, 경제적 적응은 학업적응과 매우 긴밀한 연관성을 나타내었다. 연구참여자들은 남한거주기간 1.5년 미만의 초기적응과정에 있는 20대 초반의 학업중단 청소년들이었다. 따라서 탈북과정에서 초래된 학업격차와 연령차로 인하여 정규교육체계에 편입하지 못하였고, 취업시 학력조건이 미달되어 단순노동직의 저임금과 과잉근무에 시달리며 잦은 이직과 무직의 경험을 반복하였다. 둘째, 연구참여자들은 인간관계를 적응과정의 제일 중요한 핵심요소로 인식하였고, 인간관계에서 얻어지는 사회적 지지는 한국사회 적응에 긍정적인 기능을 하였다. 특히 남한사람들과의 교류는 정보적·평가적 지지를 얻을 수 있는 귀한 자원으로 인식되었다. 이러한 정보적·평가적 지지는 연구참여자들의 언어 적응을 돕고 문화적 이질감을 완화하였으며, 심리적 적응의 부정적 측면을 개선해 주었다. 한편 북한이탈주민과의 교류는 '배울 것이 없다' 는 이유로 멀리하였지만, 북한이탈주민 중심의 친밀한 관계에서 오는 정서적 지지는 연구참여자들의 적응과 심리적 안정에 매우 긍정적인 기능을 담당하였다. 셋째, 연구참여자들은 신체건강 및 심리적 적응에 있어 큰 어려움을 경험하였다. 지병은 치료받지 못하여 악화되었고, 여성의 자각증상은 매우 높았다. 새로운 환경에서 밀려오는 스트레스는 심리적 적응에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 연구참여자들은 자신감부족, 대인기피, 소외감을 경험하였고, 스트레스가 만성적인 경우 좌절감과 패배감을, 심각한 경우에는 분노와 우울증상을 경험하였다. 한편 연구참여자들은 가족과 함께 남한에 거주하였으므로 '가족을 고향에 버리고 왔다' 는 죄책감이나 '혼자' 라는 외로움이 낮았고, 민주주의 사회에서의 자유감과 안전감에 높은 만족도를 보였다. 이상의 연구결과를 근거로, 학업중단 북한이탈 청소년의 사회적 지지체계의 강화, 자립·자활을 위한 경제적 지원정책 제안, 학업적응 지원을 위한 교육정책 마련 등에 관한 구체적인 해결방향을 제언하였다.

This study aims at investigating the adaptation process of the mothers of autistic children. A qualitative research method was adopted for this study: in-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured questionnaires, then the transcribed interviews were analyzed to sort out patterns of adaptation and social support. Major results of the study are as follows: First the interviewees had common processes and patterns in their experiences and went through similar emotional and psychological processes. More specifically, most of the interviewees went through the stages of denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, the interviewees did not experience the stages in the exact sequence, as the stages sometimes would repeat, or would overlap one with another, Second, the data showed that many of the mothers of autistic children could not obtain the social support that they acutely needed Also, it was found that when adequate social support was provided, it relieved the stress of the interviewees, improved their adaptation, reduced the negative effects of crises or changes in the family, and further strengthened the solidarity of the family.

The article provides an examination of those temporary states of disturbances in the psychophysiological and socio-psychological spheres of a person, which develop against the background of normally formed mechanisms of mental activity, that is, in mentally healthy people. A healthy person is a person adapted to the conditions of the external environment, and mental health is inseparable from the physical and social well-being of a person. The cause of the disorder is the impact on a person of any environmental factors that weaken the mechanisms of social and psychological adaptation of the individual.
