  • 모바일 환경에서 의사소통은 SMS 문자로 이루어진다. SMS 문자에서 사용되는 어휘들은 일반적인 한국어 문어체 문장에서 사용되는 어휘들과 다른 부류의 어휘들이 사용될 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 일반적인 문어체의 경우 문장의 시작이나 끝맺음이 올바르고 문장의 구성요소가 잘 갖추어졌지만, SMS 문자 말뭉치의 경우 구성요소를 생략 및 간략한 표현으로 대체하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 어휘 사용 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 기존에 구축된 구어체 말뭉치와 문어체 말뭉치를 사용한다. 실험에서는 구어체 말뭉치인 SMS 문자 말뭉치와 네이버 영화평 말뭉치, 그리고 문어체 말뭉치인 한국어 문어체 원시 말뭉치의 어휘사용 특성을 비교-분석한다. 말뭉치별 어휘 비교 및 분석을 위하여 품사 태그 형용사(VA)를 기준으로 하였고, 공연강도를 측정하기 위해 변별적 공연어휘소 분석 방법론을 사용하였다. 그 결과 '좋-', '죄송하-', '즐겁-' 등 감정표현 형용사들이 SMS 문자 말뭉치에서 선호되는 반면, 네이버 영화평 말뭉치에서는 평가 표현과 관련된 형용사들이 선호되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 과정에서 추출된 공연강도가 높은 형용사를 기준으로 감정어휘 사전을 자동 구축하기 위하여 단어 임베딩 기법을 사용하였으며, 총 343,603개의 감성어휘를 자동 구축하였다.

  • Objectives: This study investigates the impact of M&L psychotherapy on an adolescent with anxiety disorders transitioning into adulthood, using a retrospective mixed-method approach. Methods: An adolescent with Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5-diagnosed anxiety disorders underwent combined treatment with M&L psychotherapy and complex Korean medicine therapy over a period of approximately two years. Patient records tracked the diagnosis, treatments, and progress. In-depth interviews were also conducted. The study used a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, integrating quantitative analysis from psychological assessments, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-X), the Core Seven Emotions Inventory-short form (CSEI-s), and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), with qualitative analyses of traditional Korean medicine counseling session notes, interviews, and other qualitative psychological assessments. Results: State anxiety decreased from 40 to 36, and trait anxiety decreased from 42 to 34. MMPI-2 L scale scores decreased slightly to 64T, whereas S scale scores increased to 62T, and FRS scores decreased to 70T from an initial score of 78T. Qualitative analysis revealed an increase in the MMPI-2 Es scale, identified as "subjectivity." Joy (喜) emerged as the highest emotional profile score in the CSEI-S. Scores for anger (怒), thought (思), fear (恐), and fright (驚) decreased, indicating improved negative emotions. Qualitatively, expressions of determination to "move forward" and "strengthen the mind" were noted, suggesting enhanced "lower danjeon (下丹田)." Conclusions: Integrating traditional Korean medicine treatment with M&L psychotherapy for a vulnerable adolescent with anxiety disorders demonstrated efficacy. Further research is warranted to substantiate the effectiveness of M&L psychotherapy and advocate for its wider adoption in mainstream practice.

  • 사회 불안 장애를 가진 사람들은 사회적 맥락에서 위협적인 자극에 대한 주의 편향을 나타내는 경향이 있다. 최근 연구들에서 이러한 주의 편향은 비교적 일관되게 보고되는 반면, 위협 자극에 대한 기억 편향에 대한 연구는 드물며 그 결과 또한 혼재되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 고 사회불안 개인의 위협 자극에 대한 주의 편향 및 기억 편향을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 고 사회불안(HSA) 그룹 19명과 저 사회불안(LSA) 20명이 모집되었으며, 참가자들은 위협에 대한 주의 편향을 측정하는 연속 주의 과제를 수행하였다. 주의 과제 후, 참가자들은 이전 주의 과제에서 사용된 방해자극을 사용한 예기치 못한 기억 과제를 수행하였다. 실험 결과, HSA 집단과 LSA 집단 모두 방해자극인 정서적 얼굴에 대한 초기 주의 편향이 나타났다. 그러나, 분노 얼굴 자극에 대한 주의 유지 현상은 HSA 집단에게서만 발견되었다. 또한, HSA 집단은 기억 과제에서도 분노 얼굴에 대해 기억 편향을 나타냈다. 반면, LSA 집단의 경우 긍정정서인 행복 얼굴에 대한 후기 주의 편향이 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 부정적 자극에 대한 과도한 편향과 긍정적 자극에 대한 편향의 부재가 사회 불안 장애의 유지 및 심각성 등 병태 생리에 기여할 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Care is a central concept of nursing. Nursing would not exist without caring. Care and quality of life are closely related. Human behavior is a manifestation of culture. We can say that caring and nursing care are expression of culture. The nurse must understand the relationship of culture with care for ensure quality nursing care. But knowledge of cultural factors in nursing is not well developed. Time and in - depth study are needed to find meaningful relationships between culture and care. Nurses recognized the importance of culturally appropriate nursing There are two care systems in culturally based nursing. The folk care system and the professional nursing care system. The folk care system existed long before the professional nursing care system was introduced into this culture. If the discrepancy between these two care systems is great, the client may receive inappropriate nursing care. Culture and subcaltures are diverse and dynamic in nature. Nurses need to know the caring behaviors, patterns, and their meaning in their own culture. In Korea we have taken some first step to study cultural nursing phenomena. It is not our intent necessarily to return to the past and develop a nationalistic of nursing, but to identify the core of traditional caring and relate that to professional nursing care. Our Assumptions are as follows : 1) Care is essential for human growth, well being and survial. 2) 7here are diverse and universal forma, expressions, patterns, and processes of human care that exist transcul - turally. 3) The behaviors and functions of caring differ according to the social structure of each culture. 4) Cultures have folk and professional care values, beliefs, and practices. To promote the quality of nursing care we must understand the folk care value, beliefs, and practices. We undertook this study to understand caring in our traditional culture. The Goals of this study were as follows : 1) To identify patterns in caring behavior, 2) To identify the structural components of caring, and 3) To understand the meaning and some principles of caring. We faised several questions in this study. Who is the care-giver? Who is the care-receipient? Was the woman the major care -giver at any time? What are the patterns in caring behavior? What art the priciples underlying the caring process? We used an interdisciplinary team approach, composed of representatives from nursing and anthropology, to contribute in -depth understanding of caring through a socicaltural perspeetive. A Field study was conducted in Ro-Bong, a small agricultural kinship village. The subjects were nine women and one man aged be or more years of age. Data were collected from january 15 to 21, 1990 through opem-ended in-depth interviews and observations. The interview focused on caring behaviors sorrounding birth, aging, death and child rearing. We analysed these data for meaning, pattern and priciples of caring. In this report we describe caring behaviors surrounding childbirth. The care-givers were primarily mothers- in -low, other women in the family older than the mother - to- be, older neighbor woman, husbands, and mothers of the mother-to- be. The care receivers were the mother-to-be the baby, and the immediate family as a component of kinship. Emerging caring behavior included praying, helping proscribing, giving moral advice(Deug - Dam), showing concern, instructing, protecting, making preparations, showing consideration, touching, trusting, encouraging, giving emotional comfort, being with, worrying about, being patient, preventing problems, showing by an example, looking after bringing up, taking care of postnatal health, streng thening the health condition, entering into another's feelings(empathizing), and sharing food, joy and sorrow The emerging caring component were affection, touching, nurtuing, teaching, praying, comforting, encouraging, sharing. empathizing, self - discipline, protecting, preparing, helping and compassion. Emerging principles of. caring were solidarity, heir- archzeal relationships, sex - role distinction. Caring during birth expresses the valve of life and reflects the valued traditional beliefs that human birth is given by god and a unique unifying family event reaching back to include the ancestors and foreward to later generations. In addition, We found positive and rational foundations for traditionl caring behaviors surrounding birth, these should not be stigmatized as inational or superstitious. The nurse appropriately adopts the rational and positive nature of traditional caring behaviors to promote the quality of nursing care.

  • In Korea the concept of social support was first used as a research concept in nursing and has not had much application in the clinical field. Another problem is that research on social support has used a direct translation of the words “social support” into Korean as “sawhejuk jiji”. Three questions were posed to direct the re-search. 1) Is there a concept of social support in Korean society? 2) if so, what words or expressions are used to de-scribe it? 3) further, if so, how is social support structured and how does it function? In order to answer the research questions a three-step research methodology was used : The first step consisted of a literature review on re-search related to social support and on information on the background of, and the way of thinking re-lated to interpersonal relations among Korean people. The second step, which was done to identify whether there is a concept of social support in korean society, involved interviewing a sample of the population. The third step involved a panel discussion that included the members of the research team and three consultants, a sociologist, a philosopher and a scholor in korean literature. A review of the literature on interpersonal relationships in traditional korean society identified a four cirole structure that explains interpersonal relationships. The first circle with “me” at the center is the family but here “me” disappears into the “we” that is essential for a cooperative agricultural society. In the second circle are those close to “me” but outside the family. The third circle includes those with whom “I ” have infrequent but regular contact and with whom correct conduct is important. The last circle is all the people with whom “I” have nothing in common. They are excluded in interpersonal relationships. The literature on interpersonal relationships showed that within the traditional Korean society people lived in villages where most people were very familiar with each other. “Yun”, the social network established the connection and “Jung”, the feeling of affection increased with time as the connection was strengthened. In the traditional village psychological support was provided through “Mallaniki”, “Pumashi” and “Kae” with the latter two also providing material support. In modern Korea there are more informal and formal social networks, like social services and community activities on the formal level and cultural and leisure groups along with “kae’s on the informal level. But even with this modern variety of groups, most social support comes from informal networks that resemble the traditiorlal “Pumashi”, “Kai” md “Mallaniki”. The six member research team interviewed 65 people in order to identify whether there is a concept of social support and then analysed their responses. There were 20 different words describing the reception of the social support and these could be grouped into seven major categories : virtuous, fortunate, helped, supported, blessed, attached(receiving affection) and receiving (grace) benevolence. there were 27 words describing the act of social support which could be categorized into seven major categories : love, looking after, affection(attachment), kindness(goodness), faith, psychological help and material help. for the meaning of social support translated as “sawhe juk jiji” there were a total of 14 different answers which could be categorized into 3 major categories : help, agreement, and faith. In third step, the results of the literature review and the answers to the questions were discussed in a pannel. The results of the discussion led to the following definition of social support in Korea which is shaped like a the four sided pyramid on a base. Social support is the apex of the pyramid and four sides are made up of : “do-oom” (both emotional and material help), “jung” (connectedness, or relationship bound by affection, regard or shared common experience ), “midum” (faith or belief in), “eunhae” (kindness or benevolence). The research team identified “Yun”( the basic network of relationships) as the base of the pyramid and as such the foundation for the components of social support in Korean culture. On “Yun” rest the other four components of social support : “Jung”, “Midum”, “Do-oom”, and “Eunhae”, For social support to take place there must be “Yun”. This is an important factor in social support. In private social network “Jung” is an essential factor in social support. But not in the public social network. “Yun” is a condition for “Jung” and “Jung” is the manifestation of support.

  • 본고는 "천의소감언해"의 이본 간의 차이를 문체론적 측면에서 살펴보고 그 차이의 요인에 대하여 고찰하였다. 목판본과 필사본의 언해는 전제된 독자층에 따라 달라질 수 있고 이본 간의 문체적 차이는 독자층의 확대성에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 이에 본고에서는 언해자인 화자와 독자층인 수신자의 상관관계 속에서 화자의 의도에 따라 문체의 효과가 어떻게 나타나는지를 고찰하였다. II장에서는 이본 간에 나타나는 문체론적 차이를 수용자에 대한 언해자의 경의 표현, 정서 표현, 공적 관계 의식 표현으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 경의 표현은 목판본에서보다 필사본에서 더 적극적으로 드러난다. 존칭 주어 표지인 '겨 오셔'와 화자 겸양의 표지인 '- -'은 필사본에서 훨씬 빈번하게 나타난다. 긍정적 정서 표현을 위해 필사본에서는 감탄형 어미가 사용되었는데 이는 수용자의 말이나 행동에 대하여 감정적으로 강하게 동조하기 위한 것으로 보인다. 반면 목판본에서는 역신이나 역모에 가담한 죄인을 하대하는 의미로 인명 뒤에 '-이'를 붙여 부르고 있다. 그리고 필사본에서의 긍정문이 목판본에서는 이중부정문으로 표현되었는데, 이는 목판본에서 임금의 왕위 계승에 대한 의의와 당위성을 더욱 강조하고자 한 것이다. 언해자의 공적 관계 의식은 고유어 지명의 훈독 표기 방식을 통해 살펴볼 수 있다. 또한 공적 관계를 드러내는 목판본에서는 고유어의 지명을 한자로 나타내는 것에 비해 필사본에서는 고유어로 표기하고 있다. III장에서는 이본 간의 문체론적 차이가 무엇에서 비롯되었는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 차이의 요인을 언해의 목적에 따른 수용자의 계층과 범위, 수용자에 대한 언해자의 태도, 언해자와 수용자의 대면적 상황으로 구분하여 고찰하였다.

  • 연천 홍석주(淵泉 洪奭周: 1774-1842)는 정조의 문체반정 정책에 충실한 수행자의 역할을 한 사람이었다. 그는 1794년 이래 초계문신으로 정조를 가까이 대하면서 그 영향을 받았다. 뿐만 아니라 그는 정조 사후(1800) 이래 비교적 순탄한 사환기(仕宦期, 1795-1836)를 가지면서 자신의 독자적인 학문관을 정립했던 인물로 평가된다. 홍석주는 성리학적 문학론의 핵심개념인 '도본문말(道本文末)' 사상에 바탕을 둔 '문이재도(文以載道)'의 이론을 벗어나지 않는 범주에서, 문(文)과 시(詩)의 기능을 명교(明敎)와 감인(感人)으로 구분한다. 문의 방면으로는 교훈적 대사회적인 기능을, 시의 방면에서는 성정과 천기를 중시하는 감성적 이해에 주목하였다. 홍석주는 세교설(世敎說)에 입각하여 도덕적 감발과 그를 통한 사회적 교화를 예술 창작의 핵심에 놓고 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 그의 예술작품의 중요 요소로 언급되고 있는 '흥관군원(興觀群怨)'이나 '여항구요(閭巷謳謠)'와 같은 표현은 예술행위에 있어서의 객관적 대상의 실재를 중시하고 그 실상과 부합되는 묘사를 요구하는 태도에 연결되는데 이러한 표현방식은 마치 회화에 있어서 그가 풍속화적(風俗畵的)인 특성을 지향하고 있었던 것은 아닌가 하는 의미망으로도 추정된다. 반면 정약용은 성리학적 문이재도론의 입장에서 주희의 '시경론'을 비판하는 데로 나아간 것이 특징이다. 그는 "시경"의 시편과 일반시의 정치사회적 기능을 부각시키고 있으며, 주희의 시에 관한 담론을 자신의 견해에 의하여 재해석한다. 작자(作者)가 정치적, 사회적 비판을 행한 것이 국풍의 시라는 것이다. 정약용의 국풍론은 사회정치적 맥락 속에서 사대부 계층의 실천적 역할을 강조하는 정약용의 사상을 여실하게 드러내고 있다.

  • The main purpose of this study was to test the effect of the structured information on the sleep amount of the patients undergoing open heart surgery. This study has specifically addressed to the Following two basic research questions: (1) Would the structed in formation influence in the reduction of sleep disturbance related to anxiety and Physical stress before and after the operation? and (2) that would be the effects of the structured information on the level of preoperative state anxiety, the hormonal change, and the degree of behavioral change in the patients undergoing an open heart surgery? A Quasi-experimental research was designed to answer these questions with one experimental group and one control group. Subjects in both groups were matched as closely as possible to avoid the effect of the differences inherent to the group characteristics, Baseline data were also. collected on both groups for 7 days prior to the experiment and found that subjects in both groups had comparable sleep patterns, trait anxiety, hormonal levels and behavioral level. A structured information as an experimental input was given to the subjects in the experimental group only. Data were collected and compared between the experimental group and the control group on the sleep amount of the consecutive pre and post operative days, on preoperative state anxiety level, and on hormonal and behavioral changes. To test the effectiveness of the structured information, two main hypotheses and three sub-hypotheses were formulated as follows; Main hypothesis 1: Experimental group which received structured information will have more sleep amount than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Main hypothesis 2: Experimental group with structured information will have more sleep, amount than control group without structured information during the week following the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 1: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the level of State anxiety than control group without structured information in the night before the open heart surgery. Sub-hypothesis 2 : Experimental group with structured information will have lower hormonal level than control group without stuctured information on the 5th day after the open heart surgery Sub-hypothesis 3: Experimental group with structured information will be lower in the behavioral change level than control group without structured information during the week after the open heart surgery. The research was conducted in a national university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The 53 Subjects who participated in the study were systematically divided into experimental group and control group which was decided by random sampling method. Among 53 subjects, 26 were placed in the experimental group and 27 in the control group. Instruments; (1) Structed information: Structured information as an independent variable was constructed by the researcher on the basis of Roy's adaptation model consisting of physiologic needs, self-concept, role function and interdependence needs as related to the sleep and of operational procedures. (2) Sleep amount measure: Sleep amount as main dependent variable was measured by trained nurses through observation on the basis of the established criteria, such as closed or open eyes, regular or irregular respiration, body movement, posture, responses to the light and question, facial expressions and self report after sleep. (3) State anxiety measure: State Anxiety as a sub-dependent variable was measured by Spi-elberger's STAI Anxiety scale, (4) Hormornal change measure: Hormone as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the cortisol level in plasma. (5) Behavior change measure: Behavior as a sub-dependent variable was measured by the Behavior and Mood Rating Scale by Wyatt. The data were collected over a period of four months, from June to October 1981, after the pretest period of two months. For the analysis of the data and test for the hypotheses, the t-test with mean differences and analysis of covariance was used. The result of the test for instruments show as follows: (1) STAI measurement for trait and state anxiety as analyzed by Cronbachs alpha coefficient analysis for item analysis and reliability showed the reliability level at r= .90 r= .91 respectively. (2) Behavior and Mood Rating Scale measurement was analyzed by means of Principal Component Analysis technique. Seven factors retained were anger, anxiety, hyperactivity, depression, bizarre behavior, suspicious behavior and emotional withdrawal. Cumulative percentage of each factor was 71.3%. The result of the test for hypotheses show as follows; (1) Main hypothesis, was not supported. The experimental group has 282 minutes of sleep as compared to the 255 minutes of sleep by the control group. Thus the sleep amount was higher in experimental group than in control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (2) Main hypothesis 2 was not supported. The mean sleep amount of the experimental group and control group were 297 minutes and 278 minutes respectively Therefore, the experimental group had more sleep amount as compared to the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. Thus, the main hypothesis 2 was not supported. (3) Sub-hypothesis 1 was not supported. The mean state anxiety of the experimental group and control group were 42.3, 43.9 in scores. Thus, the experimental group had slightly lower state anxiety level than control group, howe-ver, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (4) Sub-hypothesis 2 was not supported. . The mean hormonal level of the experimental group and control group were 338 ㎍ and 440 ㎍ respectively. Thus, the experimental group showed decreased hormonal level than the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant at .05 level. (5) Sub-hypothesis 3 was supported. The mean behavioral level of the experimental group and control group were 29.60 and 32.00 respectively in score. Thus, the experimental group showed lower behavioral change level than the control group. The difference was statistically significant at .05 level. In summary, the structured information did not influence the sleep amount, state anxiety or hormonal level of the subjects undergoing an open heart surgery at a statistically significant level, however, it showed a definite trends in their relationships, not least to mention its significant effect shown on behavioral change level. It can further be speculated that a great degree of individual differences in the variables such as sleep amount, state anxiety and fluctuation in hormonal level may partly be responsible for the statistical insensitivity to the experimentation.
