Currently, the number of Long-Term Care Hospital in Korea is continuously increasing with the increase in the elderly population. Patients admitted to Long-Term Care Hospital are mainly elderly with chronic diseases, and because they are for long-term care, they often die in Long-Term Care Hospital, and the importance of end-of-life care is gradually increasing. In spite of these characteristics Studies on end-of-life care for nurses in Long-Term Care Hospital are mainly quantitative studies, and there is a limit to in-depth understanding of end-of-life care experiences. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of Long-Term Care Hospital nurses' nursing experienceof end-of-life patients through a phenomenological method, and to describe and understand the meaning of the phenomenon in depth. The subjects of this study were 7 nurses who had worked for more than 6 months at a nursing hospital located in C city. The research method was in-depth interviews, and data were collected from December 2021 to March 2022. The interview date were analyzed by Giorgi's phenomenological method. As a result of the study, 'nurses' attitude toward end-of-life care', 'ambivalence toward life prolongation', 'reality of end-of-life care in Long-Term Care Hospital', and 'reflection on life and death' were found. Therefore, it is thought that End-of-life nursing Continuing educationand interventional education programs should be developed to change Long-Term Care Hospital nurses' end-of-life care attitudes and improve coping skills.

Methods: Data were gathered from 16 nurses who had been working at LTCHs in Korea through one-on-one interviews and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results: It was structured and identified into 3 categories and 15 theme clusters. The emergent 3 categories were 'Long-term care hospitals nurses' attitudes towards for end-of-life care', 'End-of-life care stress', 'Coping with end-of-life care'.

Purpose: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses' experience in caring for infants who are approaching death and to identity the meaning and structure of their experiences. Methods: The participants were eight nurses who had experience in caring for these infants. In-depth interviews were performed from December, 2012 to February, 2013 until data were fully saturated. Collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Four theme clusters were extracted from fifteen themes. The four theme clusters of the NICU nurses' experience in caring for infants who are dying were: 1) Crossroads between life and comfort of infants approaching death, 2) emotional suffering at the death of the infant, 3) adapting and coping with the death of the infant, 4) new expectations for caring for infants who are dying. Conclusion: The results of the study provide useful information in understanding NICU nurses' experience in caring for infants who are dying and establishing effective strategies to support these nurses.

우리별 3호는 1996년 5월 26일 발사하여 2002년 12월까지 수명 초과에 따른 성능 하락으로 임무 수행을 마칠 때까지 설계 예상 수명 3년을 초과하여 약 3년 7개월 동안 운용되었다. 인공위성은 운용 되는 동안 종종 예측하지 못한 이상현상을 겪는다. 이러한 이상현상은 인공위성의 임무 수행을 일시적으로 중지시키며 심지어는 인공위성의 작동을 완전히 불가능하게 만들기도 한다. 이러한 이상현상 발생은 매년 수백 건씩 기록되고 있으며 인공위성 시스템이 복잡해짐에 따라 더욱 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 인공위성에서 발생하는 이상현상은 다양한 원인에 기인하며 시스템 설계 오류, 제작 오류, 운용 오류, 우주환경이 끼치는 영향 등이 있다. 우리별 3호 또한 운용 동안 발생한 이상현상으로 임무를 제한적으로 수행하기도 하였다. 인공위성에서 발생한 이상현상을 분석 및 해결함으로서 임무수행을 원활히 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 더 나아가서 분석 경험과 축적된 자료를 통해서 이상현상을 예측 및 대비할 수 있고 위성의 성능과 수명 평가의 지표로 삼을 수 있으며 위성의 문제점을 보완하여 향 후 향상된 위성을 개발하는데 기여할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤도상에서 발생한 이상현상을 각 서브시스템 별로 임무 수행에 끼치는 영향, 위성체에 미치는 영향, 발생원인, 이상현상 종류, 처리 방법으로 분류하여 살펴보았고 그 분석 결과를 과학위성 1호 개발 시 문제점 보완에 적용한 사항에 대하여 살펴보았다.
