본 연구는 현직 간호사가 인식한 환자의 건강문해력을 탐색하기 위한 질적연구이다. 서울과 부산의 종합병원에서 근무 중인 간호사 총 10명을 2개 그룹으로 나누어 포커스그룹 인터뷰를 실시하였고, 인터뷰 내용은 연구참여자 동의 하에 녹음 후 필사하였다. 수집된 자료는 질적내용 분석방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 간호사들은 환자의 연령, 학력, 소득수준, 기저질환, 정서상태 등에 따라 환자의 건강문해력에 차이가 있다고 인식하였다. 간호사가 건강문해력의 중요성을 더욱 인식하고 환자의 건강문해력 수준을 면밀히 파악하여 의사소통하도록 돕는 교육이 필요하며, 건강문해력이 취약한 환자를 지원하는 보건의료시스템의 변화가 요구된다.

With love as the theme and mythology, ghosts and magic as elements, Korean fantasy TV dramas have set romantic and beautiful plots and attracted a large number of Chinese female audiences. Based on Melodramatic Imagination and Stuart Hall's theory of "encoding/decoding", this paper investigated Chinese female audiences' motives of watching Korean fantasy TV dramas Hotel Druena through the form of focus group interviews to interpret reasons for the popularity of Korean fantasy TV dramas and Chinese women's overall cognition of Korean TV dramas from the perspective of female audiences. Thinking that South Korea's fantasy dramas are good at women's pursuit and desire for emotional elements, women who watch this type of south Korean TV dramas are temporarily relieving pressure of real life, thus satisfying the needs of female gaze and consumption.

Current studies validate the Body Positive Scale (BP Scale) as a self-assessment instrument that captures four dimensions of the positive body image construct. We developed and evaluated a 17-item BP Scale using two focus group interviews and four independent samples (n = 1,379) of Korean women who completed online survey questionnaires. We generated an initial pool of items via literature review, content validation with experts, and focus group interviews, subsequently refining the items through exploratory analysis (Study 1). We confirmed the BP Scale's underlying dimensions with young Korean female samples (Study 2, Study 4) and with a community sample (Study 3). We also examined the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability over a six-week interval. Overall, the results supported that the four-factor BP Scale demonstrates adequate validity and reliability in measuring positive body image among Korean women. The BP Scale provides a method for researchers and practitioners to understand and assess individuals' positive body image in a multifaceted manner.

기술의 발전과 급속한 세계화가 이루어짐으로 인하여 시장이 확대되면서 디자인이란 영역은 다양한 매체를 통하여 시대의 핵심 역량과 가치를 창출할 수 있는 분야로 화두가 되고 있다. 과거 디자인이 '미적인 아름다움', '장식', '감성의 만족'들을 추구했다면 이제는 시대와 기술의 변화에 따라 또한 다양한 문화를 배경으로 한사용자를 중심으로 분명히 다른 가치가 존재하며 그에 따른 다른 방법들이 필요한 시점이 되었다. 이러한 필요에 따라 최근 상품 개발 과정이나 평가 과정에서 주로 사용되고 있는 포커스 그룹 인터뷰 방법론과 같은 문화적 기반의 명확한 사용자의 니즈(needs) 파악이 가능한 방법에 대하여 구체적으로 연구될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 다양한 문화의 배경 및 개인의 기질에 따라 결과가 달라질 수 있는 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 중심으로 문화적 특성이 커뮤니케이션 방식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연관성을 밝히고자 한다. 또한 문화적 특성은 개인 기질에까지도 영향을 미치기 때문에 문화적 특성과 개인의 기질을 근간으로 MBTI에 나타난 결과에 따라 대조군을 설정하고 문화적 특성에 따른 커뮤니케이션 방식의 차이를 검증하기 위한 실제적인 분석 방법론을 수립하였다.

Objectives: To characterize the usage patterns of new types of tobacco products (NTTPs) to develop effective strategies for the regulation of NTTPs in Korea. Methods: We conducted focus group interviews to identify the NTTP usage patterns of research subjects. The NTTPs were limited to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), waterpipe tobacco, and rolling tobacco. We categorized 30 research subjects into 4 groups. The ecigarette group was divided into adult and adolescent groups. Each group contained 7-8 subjects. An interview lasting approximately 2 hours was conducted with each group. Results: Ninety percent of NTTP users used an NTTP in combination with conventional cigarettes. Subjects mostly bought NTTPs online, unlike how they bought cigarettes. Additionally, a great deal of information, such as how to use NTTPs and descriptions of NTTP products, was exchanged through online or offline societies. The primary reason why the subjects used NTTPs was that NTTPs offer a greater range of flavors and aromas than cigarettes. Moreover, NTTPs were felt to be less repulsive than cigarettes. NTTPs were not used as a cigarette substitute; rather, they were mostly used in places and situations where traditional cigarette smoking was not allowed. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the government should conduct studies on the effects of the combined use of NTTPs and cigarettes on the human body, obtain and provide accurate data regarding NTTP use, and develop and implement polices to ban NTTP advertising, which may arouse adolescents' curiosity, and the addition of flavoring substances to tobacco products.

Department store has actively expanded cultural center services by providing a series of educational courses in order to increase customer visits, enhance customer satisfaction, and ultimately increase sales. In this study, cultural center members' shopping behaviors and image building of the department store were explored through focus group interviews. Results generated from a total of 7 focus group interviews with female cultural center members in their 30's through 60's are as follows. First, the consumer group who attends courses for their own purpose is 45 to 55 year-old female customers who are actively involved in consumption at the department store for their own clothing, food and restaurant. They are not often engaged in impulsive either group shopping for clothing. They are satisfied with class quality compared to low tuition whereas dissatisfied with busy schedule of a lecture room and lack of special discount benefits for members. Second, the other consumer group who attends courses for their children is consumers in their 30's. They are charged in shopping for clothing for their husbands, children, and themselves. They are suffering time poverty due to nurturing their children, therefore, they want to shop more in the department store on the day of class. However, expensive kids-care facilities are barriers to do it. Convenience, familiarity and center of culture are important images of the department store, developed through frequent visits of these customers. Eight implications for marketing strategies were generated based on study results.
