Purpose: The purpose of the study was to meta-analyze the relationships of major concepts, which were made by synthesizing similar explanatory variables into more comprehensive concepts, to hope. Method: The relevant researches from Jan 1980 to Dec 2003, performed in adults or adult patients, were collected. Using the SAS program, meta-analysis were done with the input data of the number of subjects, the correlation coefficients provided from most of the studies or a few transformed correlation coefficients from F value. In order to get the analysis to be done in homogeneous status of the data regarding each relationship of each major concept to hope(p> 0.05), heterogeneous data were eliminated in repeating Q-test. Result: The major variable regarding relationship to self/transcendental being/life(spiritual wellbeing & self esteem) and social support(social support & family support) have very large positive effects on hope(D=l.72, D=l.27). The negative effect of the variable regarding captive state(uncertainty in illness, perceived unhealthiness status, & fatigue) and positive effect of coping(approach coping) on hope are in the level between moderate to large(D=-0.61, D=0.78). All the effects of the major concepts on hope were verified as significant statistically(p=.000). The Fail -Safe numbers showed the significant effects of the three major concepts except coping on hope were reliable. Conclusion: The results can be a guide to advance hope theory for nursing.

Background: Happiness is one of the most important indicators of health, wellbeing, and quality of life among older adults. The objective of the study was to investigate factors associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas using the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 3,149 senior citizens living in rural areas using secondary data from the 2017 National Survey of Older Koreans. Happiness was measured by a single question and responses were recorded dichotomously. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed at a 5% level of significance. Results: In all, 64.5% of the participants considered themselves as happy most of the time in the last 1 week. In the study, socio-demographic factors did not predict happiness except age. Satisfaction with a health status, financial situation, relationship with children, cultural satisfaction, and satisfaction with friends and society were positively associated with happiness among senior citizens residing in rural areas of Korea. Odds of reporting happiness were higher among those who traveled in the last 1 year, visited elderly welfare centers, and were involved in voluntary work than among those who did not. Conclusion: Happiness among senior citizen was significantly associated with life satisfaction with regard to health, finance, relationship with family, friends and society, and social activity participation.

Background: Several studies have investigated the relationship between specific occupations and suicide mortality, as suicide rates differ by profession. The aim of this study was to investigate suicide mortality ratios across broad occupational groups in Greece for both sexes in the period 2000-2009. Methods: Data of suicide deaths were retrieved from the Hellenic Statistical Authority and comparative mortality ratios were calculated. Occupational classification was based on the International Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88) and the coding for Intentional self-harm (X60-X84) was based on the international classification of diseases (ICD-10). Results: Male dominant occupations, mainly armed forces, skilled farmers and elementary workers, and female high-skilled occupations were seen as high risk groups for suicide in a period of 10 years. The age-productive group of 30-39 years in Greek male elementary workers and the 50-59 age-productive group of Greek professional women proved to have the most elevated number of suicide deaths. Conclusion: Further research is needed into the work-related stressors of occupations with high suicide mortality risk and focused suicide prevention strategies should be applied within vulnerable working age populations.

Background: The Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP) is a measure of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children and adolescents. This study examined the impact of dental fear on the OHRQoL by comparing the COHIP scores of children with and without dental fear. Methods: The OHRQoL in children and adolescents was measured using the Korean version of the COHIP. In total, 102 students (49 boys and 53 girls) filled in a questionnaire designed to evaluate dental fear and the OHRQoL in 2012 and 2014. Results: In 2012, the group without dental fear showed higher COHIP scores than the group with dental fear; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. In 2014, the same pattern was observed, but the difference was non-significant for all COHIP items other than those pertaining to social-emotional well-being. Comparison of COHIP scores according to changes in fear showed that the group with continuous dental fear showed significantly lower overall COHIP, negative COHIP, and low social-emotional wellbeing scores, than the group without continuous fear in 2012 and 2014. Conclusion: We expected children with dental fear to have poor oral health, affecting their OHRQoL; however, dental fear did not affect the OHRQoL.

본 연구는 산림 건강치유, 요가, 휘트니스 등 총 세 가지의 건강관리 서비스 산업 비교를 중심으로 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 찾고, 그로인한 어느 요인이 각 서비스 산업에서 고객만족에 많은 영향을 미치는가를 실증적으로 분석하여 검정하고자 하였다. 이에 기존의 SERVQUAL 척도를 중심으로 분석된 연구들과 또한 고객만족에 관한 측정지표 등을 사용하여 분석된 연구들을 바탕으로 프로그램, 물리적 환경, 직원의 서비스 지향성 등 3개의 요인을 도출하여 각 서비스 산업별로 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 산림 건강치유에서는 물리적 환경이, 요가에서는 프로그램이, 휘트니스에서는 직원의 서비스 지향성이 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 각 건강관리 서비스 산업은 고객들의 라이프스타일과 트렌드에 최우선적으로 역점을 두고 운영이 되어야 하며, 그에 따른 특성화 서비스를 제공해야 할 것으로 보여진다. 물론, 경쟁력을 갖추기 위해선 현대화된 운동장비와 차별화된 프로그램, 쾌적하고 고급화된 시설 마련은 기본이 되어야 한다. 더불어 현 시점은 건강과 운동에 대한 고객들의 관심이 양적 추구에서 질적 추구로 바뀌어가고 있다는 것도 직시해야 한다. 그 의미는 운동을 단순히 신체적 가치나 정서적 가치 추구에만 머물지 않고 교제나 유대를 위한 사회적 가치 추구에까지 미치도록 서비스를 변화시켜야 한다는 것이다. 이를 위해선 고객들 간의 유대관계를 위한 부가적인 프로그램 도입과 친근한 분위기, 적절한 동선체계도 함께 강구해야 할 필요성을 시사한다.

본 연구의 목적은 독거노인의 인구사회학적 특성과 우울, 영적안녕, 삶의 질이 죽음불안에 미치는 영향을 탐색하여 다양한 간호중재 프로그램 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하는 것이다. 연구대상은 편의표출한 충청남도 소재 2개 군 지역에 거주하는 65세 이상의 독거노인 중 노인대학에 등록된 자로 인지기능에 장애가 없고, 의사소통이 가능한 187명이며, 자료수집기간은 2014년 2월부터 2015년 2월까지로 SPSS 18 프로그램을 이용하여 자료분석을 실시하였다. 독거노인의 전체죽음불안은 2.94(${\pm}0.32$)점이었고, 하위영역별로 죽음과정의 불안 3.06(${\pm}0.32$)점, 사후죽음의 불안 2.88(${\pm}0.51$)점, 존재상실의 불안 2.75(${\pm}0.43$)점 순으로 나타났다. 독거노인의 특성에 따른 전체 죽음불안수준은 여성노인이 남성보다(t=125.39, p=.001), 나이가 적을수록(F=1.16, p=.003), 경제수준이 낮을수록(F=3.36, p=.000), 가족관계가 좋을수록(F=0.43, p=0.34), 종교가 있는 경우(t=125.39, p=.000)에 죽음불안이 높았다. 죽음불안은 우울할수록(r=.192, p=.009), 영적안녕이 낮을수록(r=-.234, p=.002) 삶의 질이 낮을수록(r=-.190, p=.009) 높았으며, 죽음불안에 영향을 미치는 요인은 경제상태, 우울, 영적안녕으로 경제상태(${\beta}=-.36$, p=.000)가 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 전체 설명력은 20.3%이다. 따라서 독거노인의 죽음불안 감소를 위해 우울, 영적안녕, 삶의 질 개선을 위한 중재프로그램과 더불어 사회보장체계가 강화되어야 할 필요가 있다.

According to increase of personal incomes, spread of automobiles, a five-day only work week and expansion of cultural life, modern people today are increasingly showing leisure time interests. Under such social circumstances in which people's spare time are gradually increasing, weekend trips accompanied with hotel staying are increasing to a greater extent rather than one-day trips. In Korea where differences between regions and four seasons are remarkable, the resort industry has developed in harmony with seasonal environments and regional characteristics. In particular, an increasing number of modern people living in the wellbeing era tends to visit spa resort hotels for recreation and health. This study intends to compare realities of local and foreign spa resort hotels and investigate space characteristics of local spa resort hotels for promotion of use. In this study, it has been found that the proposed addition of characteristic-oriented spaces to the existing recreation, service and basic facilities beside the fundamental accommodations would be able to remarkably elevate use of the hotels.
