중년기는 인간발달 과정 중 전환의 시기이며 위기의 시기이다. 중년기 위기의 의미를 이해하기 위해서는 다차원적인 접근이 필요하다. 중년기의 위기를 파악하기 위해 개인의 심리적 측면, 행동·사회적 측면의 이해가 요청된다. Jung은 중년기를 개성화 시기라하며, 파편화된 성격의 여러 개체를 안정화시키고 통합하는 과정이라 하였다. 중년기 삶의 의미에 대한 발견은 타인과 자신의 이해를 통해 진정한 공동체 일원이 되는 것이며 실존의 의미와 연결된다. 중년기 위기는 삶의 의미와 깊은 상관관계를 가지며, 삶의 의미를 통해 중년의 위기감을 낮출 수 있다. 다만, 삶의 의미를 발견하는 과정에서 가족 및 사회적 위기상황에 대한 적응, 스트레스 대처 여부가 중요한 요인이 될 것이다.

중년기는 현재 자신의 위치에서 삶을 돌아보고 평가를 하게 되는 중요한 시기이다. 중년기는 성취에 대한 만족감과, 현실과 기대에 대한 위기감이 공존하는 양면성이 있다. 위기냐 기회냐의 전환기 과정에서 일어나는 문제와 갈등의 최소화를 위한 중년기 목회상담 연구는 의의 있는 일이다. 목회상담은 성경적 원리에 입각하여 지금-여기 현존 하시는 하나님과의 사실적 만남을 기본 전제로 내담자의 요구와 발달과제를 의미 있는 삶으로 재생산이 되도록 도울 수 있어야 한다. 이에 문헌 고찰을 통하여 중년기 연구의 선구자인 융, 에릭슨, 레빈슨의 중년기 발달적 견해를 살펴 보았다. 중년기 내담자들의 욕구와 위기감을 무조건적으로 말씀과 기도로 헤쳐나가라고 하는 것은 무리가 있다. 이러한 관점에서 목회상담과 현실치료의 통합은 자신이 선택한 실현 가능한 현실적 행동과 책임을 통해 내적 대화와 행동의 어우러짐이 함께 출발하도록 할 때 활용도가 매우 높다고 본다. 현실치료의 자신에 대한 통찰과 구체적 상담 방법은 목회상담과의 통합을 통해 새로운 상담유형을 제시할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 현실치료의 이론적 배경과 특징을 살펴본 후 목회상담과 현실치료의 만남을 통해 중년기 위기를 극복하는데 일조하는 의미가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of the degree of preparation for old age and the sense of crisis on the marital satisfaction of married mid-life women. The participants in this study were 300 women ranging in age from 40 to 59 years residing in Gyeonggi-do. Two hundred and forty-nine self-reported questionnaires were used for final analysis by SPSS PASW 18.0. The major results of this study were as follows. First, the mean score on the sense of crisis scale was $2.56{\pm}0.65$, representing a medium level. The mean scores for degree of preparation for later life and marital satisfaction were $3.54{\pm}0.57$ and $3.67{\pm}0.88$, which were somewhat high. Second, socio-demographic characteristics have a significant influence on married, middle-aged women. There were primarily differences in the sense of crisis by age cohort(such as women in their 50s) and level of education. Moreover, there were differences in the degree of preparation for later life by marriage duration and differences in marital satisfaction by level of education, monthly average income, and employment status. Third, in multiple regression analysis, the variables significantly influencing the marital satisfaction of married, middle-aged women included health status and monthly average income as control variables. Mid-life crisis also had a significant effect. The degree of preparation for emotional later life had a significant effect as an independent variable. These findings suggest that the level of sense of crisis and the degree of preparation for emotional later life affected the women's marital satisfaction. Other factors did not have a significant affect. Based on the above results, intervention alternatives are needed to improve the marital satisfaction of married, middle-aged women.

The purpose of this research is to understand the levels of crisis and quality of life and the relationship between them. Data was collected from questionnaires completed by 384 middle-aged women between 40 and 59 years old. The sense of crisis was measured by a scale which was developed by Kim(1988) and modified by Oh(1999). The quality of life was measured by the scale which was developed by Noh(1988). The data was analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) program and included: descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression. The results of this study were as follows: 1) In the sense of crisis scale, 'experiencing emptiness and powerlessness through my friends is the highest item($3.56{\pm}1.06$). 'Meaninglessness in daily living' factor's score is $3.16{\pm}0.76$ and another factor, 'concept of my life thus far' score is $2.89{\pm}0.74$. Then the former is higher than the latter. 2) In the quality of life, 'eat well now' is the highest item($3.60{\pm}0.93$). 'self-esteem' is the highest factor($3.37{\pm}0.62$) and 'emotional state' is the lowest factor($2.89{\pm}0.31$). 3) According to the correlation between factors of crisis and quality of life, there was a significant negative correlation between two factors of crisis and five factors of quality of life except emotional state. 4) According to linear regression, two factors of the sense of crisis showed the explanatory power of the quality of life with 31.6%. On the basis of above findings, the following is suggested; Crisis is not precipitated by special events and new accidents, but the normal emotional change phenomena process in the human life cycle. As a result, we should develop the nursing programs and education programs about crisis intervention for middle-aged women's health.

This study was done to examine stressors that middle-aged men experience and how they deal with them. The subjects of this study are married men at the age of thirty five to fifty, the average age is 41.43(SD=5.46),27,580,070 income,1.14 (58= 1.21) children. and married to 13.87 years. The average of every stressor of middle-aged men turned out to be similar, but they are aware of their physical stress at most, stress from family and mentality ranks at second, and stress at job is the lowest. The coping behavior towards stress shows direct-active behavior at most, direct-inactive behavior and indirect-active behavior are in the close level, and indirect-inactive behavior takes the lowest portion. From the analysis, there were differences in stressors and dealing behaviors according to individual character and the family, they use different coping ways depending on stressors. Men became to be highly conscious of the crisis of the middle-aged life in rapidly changing society and family. Therefore, we need to figure out stressors they go through and develop the strategies to cope with stress so that they could support middle-aged men's quality of life.

Coping strategy and mid-life crisis were examined in a sample of 325 mid-life couples ranging in age 40∼59. Each participant was administered stressful life event scale, coping strategy scale, family cohesion scale and mid-life crisis scale. The results were as follows: 1. There is no significant differences between husbands and wives in the experiences of stressful life event, but the perceived stress level of wives significantly higher than the husband's. 2. Husbands seem to use problem solving strategy and wives seem to use restrain strategy more often. 3. Wives appear significantly higher mid-life crisis than husbands. Especially family cohesion and passive coping strategy have turned out to be significant on the mid life crisis of couples. Besides these predictors, experiences of stressful life event and perceived stress level are significant predictors for husband's mid-life crisis. As for wive's mid-life crisis, coping stratigies are significant predictors.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the related factors for psychological crises in Korean middle aged adults. Methods: RISS, KISS, National Assembly Digital Library, CINAHL, and PubMed were searched for relevant articles published until October 3, 2016. Finally, a total of 23 studies were included. Meta-analysis of the studies was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 software to calculate the effect size. Results: The related variables of psychological crisis were categorized into 23 variables and 5 factor groups. The effects size (ES) of the overall defensive variables was -0.28. In the defensive factors, the psychological factor (ES=-0.67), followed by cognitive and behavioral factor (ES=-0.34), physical factor (ES=-0.31), and social relational factor (ES=-0.29) had the greatest effect on psychological crises. The effects size of the overall risk variables was 0.48. In the risk factors, the physical factor (ES=0.61) had the greatest effect on psychological crises, followed by the psychological factor (ES=0.53), and cognitive and behavioral factor (ES=0.10). Conclusion: An intervention program is needed to strengthen the defensive factors and reduce the risk factors for psychological crises of Korean middle aged adults.
