The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.

본 연구의 목적은 중도입국청소년의 한국사회 입국 전 후 삶의 맥락에 대하여 깊이 있게 알아보는 것이었다. 이때 본 연구의 참여자는 중도입국청소년의 가장 많은 수를 차지하는 조선족 청소년이었다. 이들은 중국에서 아주 이른 시기에 친모와 이별을 경험했고, 양쪽 부모의 양육 부재 속에 친인척 등에 의해 대리양육 되기도 했다. 이때 심리적인 외로움과 공허함은 삶을 무기력하게 만들기에 충분했고, 반신반의 기대를 가지고 택한 한국행은 그들의 삶에 커다란 도전이 되었다. 한국에 온 후에는 안 좋은 행동들을 하면서 스스로의 안전을 저해하기도 했고, 무기력한 시간들을 보내기도 했다. 또 친부모와 다시 새롭게 구축해야 하는 가족관계, 계부모와 이복 혹은 동복동생과의 관계로 인해 힘듦을 경험하기도 했다. 하지만 그들의 내면에는 스스로에 대한 긍정성과 앞으로 나아지지 않을까라는 기대감이 존재했고, 이들을 지원하는 가족 및 사회적 지지체계가 존재함으로 인해 발전 가능성을 가질 수 있었다. 결과 분석에는 조선족 청소년 7명의 구술 자료가 사용되었고, 이를 토대로 관련 프로그램에 반영될 수 있는 실천적 제언을 하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 항암치료를 받고 있는 소아암 환아를 돌보는 어머니의 경험을 설명하는 것이다. 연구 참여자는 소아암 진단을 받은 후 3개월 이상에서 3년 이하로 항암치료를 받고 있는 소아암 환아를 돌보는 어머니 7명으로 하였다. 자료수집 방법은 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 Colaizzi의 현상학적 분석방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 216개의 의미 진술, 62개의 구성 진술, 16개의 주제 도출, 5개의 주제 모음이 확인되었다. 5개의 주제 모음은 '심장이 녹아내림', '투병의 힘든 여정', '내 아이 지키기', '고마움과 섭섭함의 교차', '가족과 함께 하는 고통과 기대'이었다. 항암치료를 받는 소아암 환아 어머니는 아픈 아이를 돌보는 동안 심한 정서적 변화를 경험하고 있었다. 동시에 다른 한편으로는 가족과 함께 미래를 계획하는 모습을 보여 주었다. 따라서 앞으로 소아암 환아 어머니를 위한 간호에는 환아 어머니의 심리적 소용돌이를 고려한 간호계획이 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각한다.

Purpose : Intensive care unit (ICU) diaries have been implemented across the international ICU community. This study aimed to comprehend the meaning and nature of the lived experience of patients' families using the ICU diary in Korea. Methods : This qualitative study adopted van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenology. The participants comprised eight women and two men who were the family members of patients in the ICU for more than three days. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and observation from July 2018 to January 2019. Results : Patients' families who experienced the ICU diary recognized it with six beings according to time: a good idea, forgotten stuff, burdensome work, touching service, my stuff, and a thing in the memory. The ICU diary had three essential meanings for the families: communication, solace and hope, and a record of life. These findings were rearranged according to van Manen's fundamental existential, and the lived things and lived others were remarkably confirmed. Conclusion : Patients' families experienced various ICU diary forms over time and recognized an ICU diary as a means of communication. Therefore, the ICU diary is expected to be used as an intervention between families and healthcare providers in the ICU to support mutual communication.

이 글은 청소년이 왜 일탈행동을 하는가? 하는 관심으로부터 출발한다. 이를 위해 주된 문화와 질적으로 다른 하위 문화에 대한 접근 논리를 모색하고, 청소년 일탈행동 형성에 대한 개념모형을 설정하였다. 이 연구의 주된 목적은 청소년 일탈행동의 형성과 변화과정을 이해하는데 있다. 이러한 목적을 위해 이 연구에서 다룬 내용은 두가지로 요약된다. 첫째, 청소년 일탈행동의 형성과정에 대한 이해를 위해, 환경특성으로서 가정환경과 학교환경 및, 개인특성으로서 청소년의 심리특성과 행동특성이 청소년의 일탈행동과 어떠한 관련이 있는지를 검토하였다. 둘째, 청소년기 동안 일탈행동이 어떠한 변화를 거치는가를 횡단자료 뿐만 아니라 종단 자료에 기초하여 살펴보았다. 특히 청소년기동안 경험하는 환경적 변화와 개인특성 변화의 맥락에서 청소년 일탈행동의 변화를 이해하려는 시도를 하였다. 이러한 연구내용에 관련된 선행연구 결과들에 토대하여, 종합 논의를 시도하였다.

본 연구는 암 생존자의 일상생활 복귀 경험의 이해를 통해 성공적인 일상생활 복귀와 삶의 질 향상 방안을 모색하고자 시도되었다. 암 치료 후 5년이 경과되어 완치 판정을 받은 19명을 암 생존자 환우회 및 인터넷 카페에 연구목적과 방법을 공지하여 모집하였다. 자료 수집은 2017년 1월 18일부터 2월 25일까지로 심층면담을 통해 실시되었으며, 자료가 포화될 때까지 이론적 표출을 시도하였다. 1회 면담 시간은 90분에서 120분 정도 소요되었으며, 인터뷰 이후 불충분한 내용은 추가 면담을 통해 내용을 확인 받았다. 면담 횟수는 1~3회였다. 근거이론에 따른 자료 분석을 실시하였으며, 암 생존자의 일상생활복귀 경험은 '고달픈 현실', '육체적 소진', '심리적 소진', '경제적 소진'이라는 인과적 조건으로 인해 '벗어날 수 없는 현실', '내일을 알 수 없는 불확실한 현실'이라는 중심현상이 발견되었다. '가족의 지지부족', '노동 취약계층으로의 이동', '미비한 지원시스템', '사회적 지원체계 희망', '위축된 성', '암/암환자에 대한 편견', '찾기 힘든 완치 이후 삶에 대한 정보' 등의 맥락적 조건에 따라 '적극적 건강관리', '긍정적 경험', '절대적 존재에 의지하기' 전략을 선택적으로 수행하였다. 이러한 전략 수행 과정은 중재적 조건인 '든든한 울타리', '효과적인 암보험'의 영향을 받았다. 그 결과는 '새로운 삶 구축하기' 또는 '견디기'로 나타났다. 암 생존자의 성공적인 일상생활 복귀를 위해서는 일상생활 복귀 과정에서 경험할 수 있는 문제들과 관련된 포괄적인 정보 제공 및 보건·복지적 개입이 필요하며, 향후 암 생존자 관리를 위한 시스템 구축 시 암 생존자의 요구를 반영한 지원 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
