본 연구는 학생의 자살 이후, 중·고등학교 교사들이 상실에 대처하는 과정에서 어떤 어려움과 도움 요소를 경험하는지 개념도 방법을 활용하여 확인하였다. 이를 위해 학생의 자살을 경험한 중·고등학교 교사 7명을 대상으로 개별 면접을 시행하였고, 진술 내용을 기초로 총 113개의 핵심 문장을 추출하였다. 이 문장들은 참여자들에 의해 비슷한 의미를 가진 것끼리 분류되었으며, 이를 바탕으로 다차원척도분석과 군집분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 교사들의 애도 과정에서의 어려움 요인은 '자살사별자 관련 및 자살 학생 관련' 축과 '외부시스템 및 내적 경험' 축의 2차원으로 구조화되었으며, 총 4개의 군집으로 분류되었다. 각각의 군집은 '자살을 예방하지 못한 후회,' '자살 사건에 대한 학교의 무관심,' '자살사별자 관련 무력감,' '자살사별자 관련 접근-회피 갈등'으로 명명되었다. 교사들의 적응과정에서 도움 요인은 '직업적 활동 및 개인적 활동' 축과 '상실 경험 분리 및 상실 경험 밀착' 축의 2차원으로 구조화되었고, 총 6개의 군집으로 나타났다. 각각의 군집은 '자살사별자 간 협조와 보살핌,' '바쁜 일상과 현재에 집중,' '영성 활동,' '사회적 지지,' '이타적 행동을 통한 애도,' '고인에 대한 연민'으로 명명되었다. 본 연구는 그동안 관심을 받지 못했던 교사 집단의 학생 상실 경험을 조명하고, 이들이 애도 과정에서 경험하는 어려움 요인과 도움 요인의 개념적 구조를 당사자의 관점에서 생생하게 규명하였다는 데 의의가 있다.

한국 노인의 중요 문제 중 하나는 빈곤의 여성화다. 한국 여성의 빈곤 경험에 대해서는 다수의 선행연구가 존재하지만 재미 한인 여성노인의 빈곤 경험에 대해서는 거의 알려진 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 미국으로 이주한 한인 여성노인들의 빈곤 경험을 살펴보고 그러한 경험을 맥락적으로 이해하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 질적 사례연구 방법을 사용하였다. 캘리포니아주 오클랜드시에 거주하는, 미국 연방정부로부터 생활보조금(SSI)을 지원받는 한인 노인 중 미국 거주 10년이상, 65세 이상, 여성노인, 자녀와 비동거 중인 3명의 연구참여자를 선정하였다. 자료는 각 참여자 당 총 6회의 면담을 실시해 수집하였으며 연구자가 참여자에게 동의서를 직접 읽어주고 동의서에 자필로 서명을 받았다. 분석과 해석은 면담 전사본을 수차례 반복해서 읽는 것으로 시작하여, 반복적으로 나타나는 키워드를 재미 한인 여성노인들의 경험의 측면에서 시간, 공간, 사람들과의 관계를 중심으로 맥락적으로 이해하고자 했다. 재미 한인 여성노인의 빈곤화 경험에 관한 맥락적 이해로 모국에서의 빈곤 연장, 여성 이민자라는 이중고, 노화와 질병으로 인한 노동의 제한 세 가지 차원으로 해석되었다. 미국 이주 이전의 삶도 농사로 생계를 이어가는 어려운 살림살이 였고 남편과의 사별로 생계부양노동을 짊어졌던 빈곤한 삶이었는데 이주 이후에도 빈곤한 삶은 이어졌다. 낮은 교육수준과 특별한 기술이 없는 여성이민자로서 산업화된 미국에서 노동시장 주변부에 편입되어 낮은 임금으로 생계를 이어나갈 수밖에 없었다. 이주 당시 이미 노년기에 접어들었던 재미 한인 여성노인들은 노화와 질병으로 인해 주변부 노동시장으로 돌아갈 수도 없었고 정부 생활보조금에 의지하는 빈곤한 삶을 이어가고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과로부터 재미 한인 여성노인의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 한인 커뮤니티의 역할에 대해 논의했다.
