연구배경: 만성폐쇄성폐질환은 질병의 중증도를 추정 정상치에 대한 $FEV_1$의 백분율을 기준으로 분류해 왔다. 그러나, 같은 폐기능 검사소견을 보이는 환자들 사이에서도 환자가 느끼는 주관적 호흡곤란에는 차이가 있다. 본 연구에서는 호흡곤란이 $FEV_1$를 비롯하여, 건강관련 삶의 질, 주변으로부터 받는 도움의 정도, 직업 등에 영향을 받는지에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 2002년 6월부터 2004년 5월까지 경북대학교병원 호흡기 내과에서 만성폐쇄성폐질환으로 추적관찰 중이며, 임상적으로 안정되어 있고 비가역적인 폐쇄성 폐기능 장애를 가진 환자 36명을 대상으로 하였다. 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환의 병기는, GOLD 병기를 따랐으며, 호흡곤란 척도는 MRC 호흡곤란 척도를 사용하였다. 건강 관련 삶의 질은 한국어 St. Goerge's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ)를 사용하였다. 결과: 환자들의 평균 $FEV_1$은 추정 정상치의 32.0%였다. GOLD 병기와 호흡곤란 정도사이에 유의한 상관관계는 없었다(p=0.114). 호흡곤란이 심할수록 SGRQ 값의 증상(symptom)(p=0.041), 활동력(activity)(p=0.004), 영향력(impact)(p=0.001), 총점(total)(p<0.001) 수치 모두에서 의미있게 높은 수치를 보였다. 호흡곤란 정도와 직업간에 의미있는 상관관계는 없었으며(p=0.259), 호흡곤란이 심할수록 환자가 주변으로부터 받는 도움 정도는 적다고 느끼는 상관관계가 뚜렷하였다(p=0.011). 결론: 만성폐쇄성폐질환자의 진료에서 환자가 느끼는 주관적인 호흡곤란은 $FEV_1$에 따른 병기 외에도 건강관련 삶의 질 및 주변의 지지 정도와 더 연관성을 가질 수 있다는 점이 고려되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

UGC(User Generated Contents) is emerging as the center of e-business in the web 2.0 era. The trend reflects changing roles of users in production and consumption of contents on websites and helps us to understand new strategies of websites such as web portals and social network websites. Nowadays, we consume contents created by other non-professional users for both utilitarian (e.g., knowledge) and hedonic values (e.g., fun). Also, contents produced by ourselves (e.g., photo, video) are posted on websites so that our friends, family, and even the public can consume those contents. This means that non-professionals, who used to be passive audience in the past, are now creating contents and share their UGCs with others in the Web. Accessible media, tools, and applications have also reduced difficulty and complexity in the process of creating contents. Realizing that users create plenty of materials which are very interesting to other people, media companies (i.e., web portals and social networking websites) are adjusting their strategies and business models accordingly. Increased demand of UGC may lead to website visits which are the source of benefits from advertising. Therefore, they put more efforts into making their websites open platforms where UGCs can be created and shared among users without technical and methodological difficulties. Many websites have increasingly adopted new technologies such as RSS and openAPI. Some have even changed the structure of web pages so that UGC can be seen several times to more visitors. This mainstream of UGCs on websites indicates that acquiring more UGCs and supporting participating users have become important things to media companies. Although those companies need to understand why general users have shown increasing interest in creating and posting contents and what is important to them in the process of productions, few research results exist in this area to address these issues. Also, behavioral process in creating video UGCs has not been explored enough for the public to fully understand it. With a solid theoretical background (i.e., theory of implementation intentions), parts of our proposed research model mirror the process of user behaviors in creating video contents, which consist of intention to upload, intention to edit, edit, and upload. In addition, in order to explain how those behavioral intentions are developed, we investigated influences of antecedents from three motivational perspectives (i.e., intrinsic, editing software-oriented, and website's network effect-oriented). First, from the intrinsic motivation perspective, we studied the roles of self-expression, enjoyment, and social attention in forming intention to edit with preferred editing software or in forming intention to upload video contents to preferred websites. Second, we explored the roles of editing software for non-professionals to edit video contents, in terms of how it makes production process easier and how it is useful in the process. Finally, from the website characteristic-oriented perspective, we investigated the role of a website's network externality as an antecedent of users' intention to upload to preferred websites. The rationale is that posting UGCs on websites are basically social-oriented behaviors; thus, users prefer a website with the high level of network externality for contents uploading. This study adopted a longitudinal research design; we emailed recipients twice with different questionnaires. Guided by invitation email including a link to web survey page, respondents answered most of questions except edit and upload at the first survey. They were asked to provide information about UGC editing software they mainly used and preferred website to upload edited contents, and then asked to answer related questions. For example, before answering questions regarding network externality, they individually had to declare the name of the website to which they would be willing to upload. At the end of the first survey, we asked if they agreed to participate in the corresponding survey in a month. During twenty days, 333 complete responses were gathered in the first survey. One month later, we emailed those recipients to ask for participation in the second survey. 185 of the 333 recipients (about 56 percentages) answered in the second survey. Personalized questionnaires were provided for them to remind the names of editing software and website that they reported in the first survey. They answered the degree of editing with the software and the degree of uploading video contents to the website for the past one month. To all recipients of the two surveys, exchange tickets for books (about 5,000~10,000 Korean Won) were provided according to the frequency of participations. PLS analysis shows that user behaviors in creating video contents are well explained by the theory of implementation intentions. In fact, intention to upload significantly influences intention to edit in the process of accomplishing the goal behavior, upload. These relationships show the behavioral process that has been unclear in users' creating video contents for uploading and also highlight important roles of editing in the process. Regarding the intrinsic motivations, the results illustrated that users are likely to edit their own video contents in order to express their own intrinsic traits such as thoughts and feelings. Also, their intention to upload contents in preferred website is formed because they want to attract much attention from others through contents reflecting themselves. This result well corresponds to the roles of the website characteristic, namely, network externality. Based on the PLS results, the network effect of a website has significant influence on users' intention to upload to the preferred website. This indicates that users with social attention motivations are likely to upload their video UGCs to a website whose network size is big enough to realize their motivations easily. Finally, regarding editing software characteristic-oriented motivations, making exclusively-provided editing software more user-friendly (i.e., easy of use, usefulness) plays an important role in leading to users' intention to edit. Our research contributes to both academic scholars and professionals. For researchers, our results show that the theory of implementation intentions is well applied to the video UGC context and very useful to explain the relationship between implementation intentions and goal behaviors. With the theory, this study theoretically and empirically confirmed that editing is a different and important behavior from uploading behavior, and we tested the behavioral process of ordinary users in creating video UGCs, focusing on significant motivational factors in each step. In addition, parts of our research model are also rooted in the solid theoretical background such as the technology acceptance model and the theory of network externality to explain the effects of UGC-related motivations. For practitioners, our results suggest that media companies need to restructure their websites so that users' needs for social interaction through UGC (e.g., self-expression, social attention) are well met. Also, we emphasize strategic importance of the network size of websites in leading non-professionals to upload video contents to the websites. Those websites need to find a way to utilize the network effects for acquiring more UGCs. Finally, we suggest that some ways to improve editing software be considered as a way to increase edit behavior which is a very important process leading to UGC uploading.

본 연구는 서울소재의 종합병원 산부인과에 외래로 방문한 임신부 248명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 임신 중 스트레스 정도와 영양섭취상태 및 임신결과와의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 조사를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 조사대상자의 나이는 두 군이 비슷하였고, 스트레스 낮은 군이 스트레스 높은 군보다 교육수준, 경제 수준이 약간 높았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 스트레스 낮은 군은 스트레스 높은 군에 비해 취업률이 높게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 가족 수에서는 스트레스 높은 군이 스트레스 낮은 군보다 3인 이상 가족구성의 비율이 높았다 (p < 0.01). 2) 신체 계측치에서 스트레스 높은 군이 키가 작고 임신전 체중이 높았으나 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 임신 전 BMI는 스트레스 낮은 군보다 스트레스 높은 군에서 과체중 및 비만이 유의적으로 높았다 (p < 0.05). 3) 임신 중 활동은 스트레스 낮은 군이 스트레스 높은 군보다 가벼운 정도의 활동을 하고 있었으며 (p < 0.05), 임신 중 규칙적인 운동은 스트레스 낮은 군이 스트레스 높은 군보다 더 많이 하고 있었다 (p < 0.01). 4) 임신 중 스트레스 요인으로는‘아기에 대한 걱정’ (40.4%),‘건강에 대한 걱정’ (28.8%),‘경제적 어려움’ (13.2%),‘우울감’ (10.1%),‘가족관계’ (2.9%),‘가사 일에 대한 걱정’ (2.5%),‘인간관계’ (2%) 순으로 나타났다. 5) 대부분의 영양소섭취는 스트레스가 낮은 군이 스트레스가 높은 군보다 약간 많았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 엽산, 칼륨, 칼슘, 철의 섭취는 KDRI의 2/3에도 못 미치는 수준이었고 나트륨, 콜레스테롤, 인, 비타민 E는 KDRI의 150% 이상 섭취하고 있었다. 6) 임신 중 스트레스와 섭취한 영양소와의 관계를 보았을 때, 대부분의 영양소와 통계적으로 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 하지만 지방, 콜레스테롤은 섭취량이 많을수록 스트레스 발생 위험도가 높아지는 경향을 보였고, 당질, 식이섬유는 섭취량이 많을수록 스트레스 발생 위험도가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 7) 스트레스 정도는 두 군에서 임신부의 재태기간, 체중증가량, 신생아 출생 시 체중, 신장 및 Apgar scores와 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 임신 중 스트레스는 신생아의 건강에 대한 염려, 임신부의 처해있는 경제여건, 사회적 지위나 생활여건, 임신과 관련된 상황, 자신의 성격 및 배우자를 포함한 가족 관계 등 다양한 요인에 의해 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 스트레스 높은 군이 스트레스 낮은 군보다 취업률이 낮았고, 임신전 BMI가 비만 및 과체중군이 많았으며, 임신 중 규칙적인 운동을 하고 있지 않았다. 이런 생활습관들이 임신 중 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 임신 중 스트레스는 대부분의 영양섭취상태와 임신결과에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 스트레스와 영양소 섭취와의 관련성이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않은 것은 본 연구에서 임신부의 2일간 식이회상법 자료를 이용해 영양소 섭취실태를 조사하였기에 임신부의 평소식사를 반영하는데 한계가 있었기 때문으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 임신 중 스트레스를 예방하기 위해서는 적절한 체중관리와 규칙적인 운동이 도움이 될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

The parents have much expectation upon the pregnancy and child birth, and in most cases, they expect the healthy parturient child. However, we can be placed on the high-risk conditions which have the physical, social and immature infant, due to the unexpected results, among the new-born. Accordingly, these high-risk newborn and premature infants will be mostly in NICU, which the concentrated medical treatment can be given, upon their conditions. After their birth and during these periods, they will be divided from the parents, and the nurse will accomplish the bringing-up activities which they can take care of the infant, expected by the parents after their birth. The hospitalization of high-risk newborn including these premature infants is the shocking experience to the parents of family, and thus they can feel the fear and uneasiness, and these reactions of parents are troubled in the behavior at the usual days, and cause the disorder and spiritless status, and these results break the supporting ability of parents, and cause the obstruction. Also, the unavoidable division between the parents and the children as like hospitalization of children can make the parents to feel the alienation emotionally, and this causes the results which the pride on the bringing-up ability of baby gets to be lost. These problems can cause the difficulties on the bonding or the parenting in the further days, and can be related to the neglect and abuse of children. Also, it is gradually increased to study and report which the emotional division by the physical division between the mother and the baby obstructs the normal affection course between the parent and the infant. The stress caused by the birth and the hospitalization of high-risk newborn, as like this, is important in the points which it can uncertainly affect the potential energy for the relationship of parent-child who are finally healthy. Accordingly, the significance and purpose of this study are to understand the contents and degree of stress which the parents of high-risk newborn including the immature child can be experienced from the hospitalization of ICU for their new borns, and thus to offer the basic program to the nursing intervention program for these. The subject of this study is the mother of newborn in NICU of 10 General Hospitals located at the 3one of Pusan, Korea from September 1997 to October 1997, and thus makes the subject of 95 person of parents who agreed to take part in the study and it is descriptive study related to the stress of mother having the newborn in NICU. The method is based on the preceding study related to the stress of mother having the experience of child hospitalization and chronic disease child, and then acquires the advice of specialists group as like 5 nursing professors, and then is amended and supplemented. Total number of questions is 43 items and consists of 5 factors as like medical treatment &nursing procedures, disease status & prognosis, role of parents, communication & inter-personal relationships, hospital environment, and is 5 point Likert Scale. The reliability of this study method is very highly shown to be Cronbach α=0.95. The collected data is analysed as Average, Frequency, Standard Deviation, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, Duncan multifulrange test by use of SPSS /PC (V7.5). The results of this study is summarized as under. 1. Every characteristics of subject is which the party of mother is 28.70age(±7.48) in the average ages, 51% in the high-school graduate, 38.5% in the christianity, total monthly income is 212.55 thousand won(±1.971), 74.5% in the housewife, 72.9% in the parents and children together living and the number of children to be 1.48person(± 0.6) in average, the recognition on the prognosis of baby is 74.0% in 'Don't know', the relationship with the husband after the hospitalization of babyis 37.3% in 'More Intimate', the relationship with the family of husband to be 48% in 'No-change', and the degree which is consulted with the husband about the baby is 55% in 'very frequently' and the visiting number per week is 4.59(±1.63) in average and the accompanying person in the time of visiting is which the number of husband is 56.3% and thus is the highest. The characteristics of baby is which the age is 21.88days(±16.47) after the birth in average, the sex to be 50 person in the female 52.1% and the order of birth to be 54.2% in the first chid, and the weight in the birth to be 2770gm(±610) and the height in the birth to be 46.26cm(±7.62) in aver age. The medical diagnosis is 37.5% in the premature infant, the career of hospitalization is 96.9% in 'None', and the operation plan is 90.6% in 'None' and the execution of operation is 88% in 'None' and the nursing of incubator is 55.2% in 'Yes', and the method of feeding is 50.5% in 'Oral' and the contents of feeding is 46.9% in the 'Milk'. 2. The total stress degree of subject is almost highly shown to be as 3.36(±0.86). If it is compared upon each cause, 'stress on disease status & prognosis' is highest 3.79(±1.28), and it is in the order of 'stress on medical treatment & nursing procedures' 3.70(±0.93), 'stress on hospital environment' 3.14(±0.86), 'stress on role of parents' 3.18(±0.92) and 'stress on communication & inter personal relationship' 2.62(± 0.77) 3. As the results of checking the notworthiness of stress degree upon each variable of subject, the variable showing the noted difference was the birth weight(γ=-0.16, P=0.04), birth height(γ=-0.23, P=0.03), nursing in the incubator(F=8.93, P=0.04), feed method(F=2.94, P=0.04). That is to say, it is shown which the smaller the birth weight is, the higher the stress degree of mother is noteworthily. Also, the smaller the birth height baby is, the higher the stress of mother is. In the incubator, it os shown which the mother whose baby is nursing in the incubator is higher in the stress degree than other mothers. Upon the feeding method of baby, that is to say, TPNis the highest, and it is shown in the order of NPO, Tube feeding, and P.O. feeding. When we review the above-mentioned results, as the status is serious, it is thought which we include the supporting nursing for coping with the stress of parents in the setting-up od nursing plan for the baby in the NICU.

This Study was attempted to provide the basic data necessary in the development and introduction of Home Health Nursing System by investigating the recognition and attitude level of Home Health Nursing System. The data were collected by means of questionaires presented to 74 patients who had been admitted in C general hospital in Chon Ju, from June 30, 1997. As the tool for this study, the questionares developed by Kim Yong. Soon, et al (1990) and Han Bok Hee(1993) were modified and supplemented for the aim of this study. The computer was used for data analysis. The items about the charateristics of the subjects and the attitude to the management plan of Home Health Nursing System were represented as the frequency and percentage. The standard deviation and calculation average were produced on the items related to definition, recognition, necessity, expected effect of the attitude of Home Health Nursing System and the items related to admission. The ANOVA test was .used according to the characteristics of variables to analyze the necessity and difference of Home Health Nursing System. The results of this study were as follows 1) The general characteristics of the subjects were as follows ; for sex, man, $58.1\%$ ; for age, 50-59 years, $29.7\%$ ; for the level of education, high school, $51.4\%$ ; $79.7\%$ of them were married; for the family forms, small family, $73.0\%$ ; and $68.9\%$ of them take the monthly income over 100 million won. 2) The characteristics related to admissions of the subjects were as follows ; for clinic, surgical department, $78.4\%$ ; addmission not more then 7days, $47.3\%$ ; for the operation-performance $71.6\%$ of them were experienced; for the admission route, via outpatients clinic, $54.1\%$ ; for waiting period to the admission day, 1-2 days, $71.6\%$. 3) The difficulties comming from the hospitalization were related mostly to the factor that they felt hospital life more inconvenient than home.(3.66) The reasons for the difficulties in the admission which was due to insufficient beds in the hospital was related to the concentration to the general hospital because of 'The Whole National Medical Insurance System'(4.05). 4) On the previous informations about the Home Health Nursing System, those who have heard of only the name were 42 $(56.8\%)$, and on the recognition of it, they thought that it is periodic treatment by the licenced nurses for the recovering pateints after early discharge(3.73). On the attitude about the necessity of Home Health Nursing System, they thought that it is necessary because of the increasing trend of a psychological disease by the change of environment and complexity of the social structure(4.24). On the expected effect of Home Health Nursing System, they answered that it is convinient for the family of the patient to take care of them(4.l8). 5) On the attitude to the management plan of the Home Health Nursing System, those who had intention to participate in the system in the case of systemic support were 42(56.8). In the visiting time, 'visit periodically' and 'visit when the patient needs' were $28(37.8\%)$ respectively. For the application of medical insurance, if possoble, they will use $(91.9\%)$; for the method of payment for the treatment, 'pay by the time required' was $23(31.1\%)$, for the subject of management, 'National public institute must operate' was $33(44.6\%)$. 6) The relationship between the general characteristics of the subjects and the necessity of Home Health Nursing System showed the notable difference in the age (F=3.508, P<0.05) and marrage state (F=5.402, P<.023).

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.

65세 이상 노인들을 대상으로 거주형태와 생활요인 등이 노인 우울장애와 얼마나 관련 있는지 파악하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 경주시에 거주하는 65세 이상의 노인들 중 요양시설노인 50명, 재가노인 72명, 독거노인 34명 등 총 156명을 대상으로 저자들이 자체 개발한 설문지로 조사하였다. 우울장애 검사는 한국형 노인우울검사를 사용하였다. 한국형 노인우울검사의 점수를 기준으로 할 때, 정상은 56.4%(88명)이었고 우울군의 양성률은 43.6%(68명)이었다. 경도 우울군은 21.8%(34명), 중등도 우울군은 7.1%(11명), 고도 우울군은 14.7%(23명)의 양성률을 보였다. 단변량분석에서 성별, 결혼상태, 거주형태, 가전제품, 한달 용돈, 학력, 외출횟수 등이 우울장애와 유의한 관련이 있었다. 요양시설노인의 경우 중등도 우울군은 10.0%(5명), 심도 우울군은 32.0%(16명)로 요양시설노인이 재가노인 및 독거노인에 비해 유의하게 우울장애 양성률이 높았다(p<0.05). 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 요양시설노인군이 재가노인군에 대해 교차비가 16.08(95% 신뢰구간: 3.60-71.88), 한 달 용돈이 10만원 미만 노인군이 10만원 이상 노인군에 대해 교차비가 14.84(95% 신뢰구간: 4.35-50.63) 이었다.

이 연구는 청소년학생들의 정신건강에 영향을 주는 성장과정의 상처, 열등감, 성격장애 간 관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 최종 분석대상은 중·고교생 2,119명을 표집, 조사·수집된 자료를 분석했다. 차이분석, 중다회귀분석, 경로분석 결과, 성장과정의 상처, 열등감, 성격장애, 정신건강 요인 면에서 여학생들과 고등학생들이, 그리고 가정경제 환경이 곤란한 학생들과 학업성적 수준이 하위권 학생들이 상대적으로 문제가 있음이 의미 있게 밝혀졌다. 열등감에 영향을 주는 성장과정의 상처 요인은 행복감, 안정감, 인정감의 상처 순으로 유의미하게 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었고, 성격장애에 영향을 미치는 성장과정의 상처 요인은 행복감, 안정감, 자신감, 사랑, 평등감의 상처 순으로 유의미하게 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 정신건강에 유의미하게 영향을 주는 성장과정의 상처 요인은 행복감, 안정감, 자신감, 사랑, 평등감의 상처 순으로 밝혀졌다. 그리고 정신건강에 미치는 관련변인들의 영향력은 전반적으로 성장과정 상처의 직접효과보다 성격장애와 열등감을 통한 간접효과가 높게 나타났다. 이는 성장과정의 상처가 열등감과 성격장애로 이어지고 궁극적으로 정신건강으로 악화될 수 있다는 교육적 시사점과 함께 가정환경의 건강성과 교육적 성장환경의 중요성을 일깨워 준다.
