The purposes of this study were to understand the sex role identity and the meaning in life(MIL) of matriarchs and analyze their relationships to offer basic data for effective nursing strategies for improving MIL. The data for this study was collected from the 10th of August to the 30th of November, 2000. The subjects were women registered in an occupational training program for unemployed matriarchs which is held in the Working Women's Center in Busan. The measurement tools of this study were MIL(unpublished)developed by researchers and sex role inventory designed by Kim Deuk Ran(1992). The results of this study were as follows: 1.Sex role identities of matriarchs were feminity 13.7%, masculinity 13.4%, androgyny 37.8% and undifferentiated 35.1%. 2. The mean MIL for matriarchs was $173.46{\pm}16.09$. 3. The levels of MIL were 57.2% of the subjects felt a loss of meaning in life, i. e. existential vacuum, 42.8% were in pursuit of meaning but had not discovered it completely and 6.0% felt they had established meaning in life. 4.There were significant differences in MIL levels, concurrent to 4 types of sex role identities(F=11.93, P=.000). And according to Scheffe's post test, between feminity and masculinity, feminity and androgyny, masculinity and the undifferentiated, androgyny and the undifferentiated, there were significant differences. From the results of this study, most matriarchs felt loss of meaning in life, i. e. existential vacuum, and the group with masculine sex role identity had the highest level of MIL.

목적: 본 연구는 중환자실 간호사의 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도 및 생명존중의지에 대해 조사하여 중환자실 간호사의 죽음에 대한 올바른 인식확립을 위한 교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하고자 실시한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방법: 수도권 소재 10개 종합병원 중환자실 근무 간호사 중 연구 목적을 이해하고 참여에 서면동의한 자를 대상으로 2009년 11월부터 2010년 2월까지 3개월간 자료를 수집하여 최종 230부를 분석에 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 도구는 Inumiya(2002)가 개발한 사생관척도 중 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도, 생명존중의 4개요인 총 67문항으로 구성되었다. 자료 분석은 SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, ANOVA, Pearson's 상관계수를 확인하였다. 결과: 대상자의 죽음의미 이해 정도는 7점 만점에 평균 4.27점이었고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미(평균 4.18점)보다 부정적 의미(평균 4.38점)에 대한 이해가 더 높았다. 죽음불안은 평균 4.43점, 죽음관여도는 평균 4.12점, 생명존중의지는 평균 4.18점이었다. 죽음의미는 죽음불안, 죽음관여도와 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미와 부정적 의미, 생명존중의지와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음불안은 죽음관여도와 정적 상관관계를 보였고, 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음관여도는 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: 본 연구결과 중환자실 신규간호사는 경력간호사에 비해 죽음의미 이해 정도가 낮고, 죽음불안과 죽음관여도가 높으며 생명존중의지가 낮으므로, 죽음에 대한 자신의 견해를 정립하여 임종환자 및 가족을 간호하는 역할수행에 도움을 줄 수 있는 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the newly developed instrument, Meaning in Life, for elderly Korean people. Methods: Ten older adults participated in the qualitative research used to develop the initial items. Participants for the psychometric testing were 371 community-dwelling older adults. Validity and reliability analyses included content, construct, and criterion-related validities, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Results: The Meaning in Life Scale consisted of 12 items with three distinct factors; value of life, source of life, and will to live, which explained 86.7% of the total variance. A three-factor structure was validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion-related validity was supported by comparison with the Purpose in Life Test (r=.74). Reliabilities were secured with test-retest reliability of Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) .85 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient .90. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that this instrument is useful to measure meaning in life in Korean elders.
