Purpose: The purpose of this study is to survey health requirements of middle-aged women and their families and to provide guidelines for developing nursing interventions by describing the process of family health maintenance experienced by middle-aged women and its conceptual system. Methods: To get saturated data, each of four researchers conducted two or three times of in-depth interview with eight middle-aged women aged between 40-64 years old and living in Seoul and Chuncheon from the 10th to the 30th of October 2004 and each interview was continued one or two hours. The Grounded theory adopted by Strauss & Corbin (1998) is a substantive theory that can explain the experiencing process of middle-aged women. Results: We found that the casual condition of family health maintaining by middle-aged women was 'confidence of health belief', and 'pouring by body moving' was found to be its phenomenon. A textual condition that might respond to the phenomenon was 'fatal roles acceptance', and intervening conditions that promote their family health were 'retracing' and 'gathering health information'. These intervening conditions impacted middle-aged women's confidence in family health and led them to take actions/interactions such as 'being a model of health', 'adapting to circumstances', 'do-it-myself', 'taking-care' 'harmonious mind' and 'the pursuit of cleanness'. These actions/interactions produced results such as 'being stronger', 'being unmanageable' and 'being fruitful'. Conclusions: Health confidence and practical health behaviors were observed in the process that the middle-aged female participants experienced unmanageable circumstances but they accepted their roles and responsibilities and recognized that they must be get stronger. The behaviors of health-together-with were divided into enthusiastic type, adaptation type and self-sacrificing type. Therefore middle-aged woman with the understanding of family health maintaining process as well as the theoretical system and practical principals needs to implement the intervention in acceptable level of family health process of preventing psychological and physical problems.

본 연구는 중년여성들이 현재까지 자신들의 삶을 어떻게 살아왔고, 현재시점에서 그들의 삶을 어떻게 바라보고 있는지, 그 경험의 의미와 구조는 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 50세에서 59세 사이의 중년여성 7명을 대상으로 총 3회에 걸친 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 인터뷰 자료는 현상학적 연구방법인 Giorgi 방법을 이용하여 분석과 해석의 과정을 거쳐서 진행하였으며, 그 결과 의미단위 358개를 도출하고, 다시 하위구성요소 26개로 묶은 후 최종 구성요소로 7개의 범주로 나누었다. 분석 결과, 중년여성들의 삶에 대한 조명은 "어려운 가정 형편", "원가족(family-of origin)의 의미", "역동적인 사회 경험", "결혼", "애달픔", "점점 느껴지는 노화"와 "삶의 초점"으로 구성되었다. 이상과 같은 의미를 바탕으로 중년 여성들의 삶에 대한 조명의 구조는 결론적으로, 어려운 가정형편을 더욱 절실하게 느낀 참여자들이 전문직종에 종사하게 되었으며, 역동적인 사회경험, 결혼, 자식에 대한 애달픔을 경험하면서 노화를 영성을 통하여 긍정적으로 바라보고 있었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 중년여성들에게 통합적이고 바람직한 노후를 맞이하게 하기 위한 올바른 영성 프로그램의 제공을 제언한다.

이 연구의 목적은 소통의 과정을 통해 욕구만족이 결여된 일빙 상태의 자아를 웰빙상태의 자아로 바꾸는 모형을 개발하는 데에 있다. 한국 중년여성의 분노는 그들이 속해 있는 삶과 사회의 계급구조 그리고 사회문화적 맥락 속에서 형성된다. 그러므로 중년여성의 분노는 이 모형을 통해 의사와 환자 모두 인문학적 사고와 자세가 갖추어졌을 때, 그리고 주체적인 삶의 소유자로 변화될 때에 치유가 가능하다. 이와 같은 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 한의학과 인문학이 융합한 중년여성의 분노치유프로그램은 파일럿검사를 활용한다. 파일럿테스트는 사전 및 사후검사로 구성되는데 그 절차는 다음과 같다. (1) 한의사 트레이닝, (2) 사전검사 실행, (3) 4~6주에 걸치 4회기 분노치유 실시, (4) 사후검사 실행, (5) 한의사와 중년여성 분노치유자의 만남.
