본 연구는 중·노년기 성인들의 주관적 연령이 주관적 안녕감과 우울에 미치는 영향에서 삶의 의미의 매개 효과를 검증하였다. 만 40세 이상 성인 394명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문을 통해 주관적 연령, 삶의 의미, 주관적 안녕감, 우울을 측정하였다. 첫째, 인구사회학적인 변인에 따른 주관적 연령의 차이 분석에서 학력이 높고, 지각된 건강상태가 좋은 중·노년들이 그렇지 않은 중·노년들에 비해 주관적으로 자신을 더 젊다고 지각하였다. 둘째, 젊은 주관적 연령은 삶의 의미와 주관적 안녕감에 정적 영향을, 우울에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 삶의 의미는 주관적 연령과 주관적 안녕감 그리고 우울간의 관계를 유의미하게 매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 중·노년 성인이 주관적으로 젊게 지각할수록 삶의 의미 수준이 높아지고, 높은 삶의 의미를 통해 주관적 안녕감은 높아지고 우울감이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 노화과정에서 생활연령보다 젊게 지각하는 경향성이 정신건강의 보호요인으로 작용하며, 이 과정에서 삶의 의미가 갖는 매개 역할이 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.

This research was designed to explore the meaning of housing among Korean Chinese in Harbin, China. In particular, the meaning of housing was examined by using the pathway approach. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study administered the in-depth interview on the oral history of an individual life, and the 5 elderly persons in their 60s and 70s participated in the individualized interviews that were conducted from May 28 to 31 in 2010. The main findings of meaning of housing were as follows; 1. Similarly to the meaning of housing in 1970s and 1980s in Korea, house was viewed as both a shelter for family members and relatives and a place for their comfort. 2. Prior to multi-story residences, Harbin had only 3 different forms of single-story houses available; Chinese style with Kang and soil room(地室), Korean style with 'Ondol', and Russian style with open floor and Pechka, The promotion at work enabled participants to move to multi-story residences, their moving time varied from 1970 to 1991, and the residential moving determined their current housing status. 3. Multi-story residences were available around 1970s, floor-heating system was introduced from 1990s, and high-rise apartments were built from 1998. Korean Chinese(朝鮮族) weren't satisfied with the spatial composition of individual units embedded into the Chinese culture, especially, entrance, kitchen, bathroom and veranda. 4. Based on assimilation through socialism, adaptation to socialist society and capitalist acculturation, the lifestyles of the interviewees were categorized into five types - capitalist-proactive(Ms. KS), socialist-pragmatic(Ms. J), socialist-inducive(Ms. KY), family centered-conservative(Ms. L), and socialist-adaptive(Ms. P). This study implies that housing-related services for Korean Chinese are necessarily provided so as to embrace their life style and cultural identity in housing design, and further studies need to be explored.

This study is designed to investigate what elders think about the meaning of aging. We have used Q-methods to identify meaning of aging from elders, and developed self-referenced surveys to analyze characteristics In this study, we used a non-structured method to select Q sampling. From 183 Q populations, we selected 36 Q sampling. A total of 32 persons sixty-years or older were randomly selected for P samples, When the Q-sorting was complete, we interviewed the participants at both end of the extremes(agree or disagree), and documented their responses. We used PC QUANL to process the data and used principal component analysis for Q factor analysis. There were five subjective types for the meaning of aging by elders. Of the 32 P-samples of elders, 11 were identified as Type 1, 7 as Type 2, 2 as Type 3, 8 as Type 4, and 4 as Type 5. Type 1 : 'Matured elders' Elders wished the well being of their children, thought older persons should maintain good health, worried about becoming senile, and dependent God believing in life after death. Type 2 : 'Assertive-Rights' Elders categorized as Assertive-Rights insisted on their rights to life as a person. Type 2 elders characterized themselves as people who should keep themselves healthy, become weak and lack sexual desires, act selfish like a child, need to be protected, and be financially independent. Type 3 : 'Passive-Dependents' Elders characterize themselves as those who pray for their children's well being, worry about the children even after their death. and becoming senile. Type 4 : 'Hopeless' The 'Hopeless' type of elders characterized aging as a time to pray for their children, insignificant beings, thoughts were selfish and child-like, poor, worried about going senile, regret their life overall, and preferred to die than to live as an old person. Type 5 : 'Attached-Present' The 'Attached-Present' type of elders thought elderly characterized themselves as acting selfish and child-like, wiser, anxious, regret their life, stand aloof of greed and worldly things, being a model for the society, and deserving to be treated with filial respect. Thus far, Korean elders seemed to have a positive and negative meaning of aging due to the current changes in the society, value system, and family structures. The above five subjective meanings of aging confirm that we need to approach and nurse the elderly differently. Years of aging are a part of and a natural process of life with various physical, psychological, and sociological changes. Nurses need to assist elderly to find the positive meaning of their life by providing appropriate physical, psychological, and social support at an earlier stage in nursing. Based on this study, we could derive the following two implication from the perspectives of science of nursing to care for elders. 1) Based on the studies investigating the type of meaning of aging, we could develop tools to assist in nursing intervention programs for elderly. 2) Based on research on the meaning of aging for different developmental stages of life, we could develop a model for roles for different family members in nursing and caring for the elders.

본 연구는 결혼이민자의 관점에서 결혼생활의 의미를 탐색하고자 Giorgi의 현상론적 방법론에 따라 진행되었다. 연구 결과 여성결혼이주민의 결혼생활 경험의 의미는 '사랑, 그 다양한 빛깔의 끌림', '남편, 참 좋은 사람', '맞닥뜨린 현실', '자녀, 안정과 기쁨 그리고 버거움', '한국 아줌마처럼 살아내라는 남편', '부대끼고 아련한 시부모와 친정부모', '결혼은 나의 힘: 노력하게 하는 원동력', '결혼생활을 넘어 공동체로' 이렇게 8가지로 도출되었다. 참여자들이 경험하는 결혼생활의 의미는 사랑에 끌려 결혼한 참 좋은 사람과 낯설고 두렵지만 부대끼면서 한국 아줌마처럼 살아나가기였다. 이는 결혼이민자를 대상화하여 다문화가정에 대한 부정적인 전형화를 넘어서는 결과였다.

Purpose: Alcohol use in South Korean women, particularly college students, is increasing. Women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol use, which puts them at greater risk of physical and psychosocial problems. Some studies have reported that on failing to find meaning in life, many South Korean college students experience depression, subsequently using alcohol as a coping mechanism. This study aimed to develop a logotherapeutic program and identify its effects on meaning in life, depression, and problem drinking among female college students. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental trial. The participants were female college students who scored over 8 in the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Twenty-four students were assigned to the experimental group and twenty-three to the control group. Three scales were used in this study: the Purpose in Life test, Beck Depression Inventory, and AUDIT. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test in SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: After the conclusion of the logotherapeutic program, the level of meaning in life and depression were more greatly improved in the experimental group than the control group. Conclusion: The logotherapeutic program is an effective method to help female college students find meaning in life and reduce depression in this population.
