The purpose of this study is to explore the concept spirituality and to gain understanding of nursing intervention that may improve spiritual well-being. The concept analysis framework developed by Walker and Avant (1995) was used to clarify the concept. In the study, 'Harmonious interconnectedness', 'Transcendence', 'Integrative Energy' and 'Purpose and Meaning in Life' emerged as the critical attributes of spirituality. The first attribute, 'harmonious Inter- connectedness', has three categories including intrapersonal, (self), interpersonal (others/ nature) and transpersonal (the Supreme Being). The second attribute, 'Transcendence', is defined as the ability to extend one's own self beyond the limits of usual experiences and to achieve new perspectives. This attribute is demonstrated by 'coping with situations', to 'self-healing', and 'transformation'. The third attribute of spirituality is 'Integrative Energy', which integrates all dimensions and acts as a creative and dynamic force that keeps a person growing and changing. 'Integrative Energy is also defined as an inner resource that gives a sense of empowerment. Therefore the highly spiritual person demonstrate 'inner peace', 'growing', 'inner strength,' and 'well-being'. The fourth attribute 'Purpose and Meaning in Life' represents a sense of connectedness with one's inner values and with a greater purpose in life. It is demonstrated by 'hope' and 'a powerful life'. In this study, the antecedents of the spirituality represented as 'spirit' and its potential enablers were 'Introspection/reflection', 'Interconnectedness with all living things', and an 'Awareness of a Higher-Power'. The consequences of this concept may be described as 'physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being'. Empirical referents of this are 'purposeful life' 'self-worth' 'hope' 'love' 'service' 'forgiveness' 'trust/belief' 'inner peace' 'self-actualization' 'religious practices' 'transformation' 'inner strength' and 'coping'. In conclusion, spirituality can be defined based on these critical attributes. Spirituality is a dynamic, integrative energy based on a feeling of harmonious interconnection with self, others and a higher power. Through it, one is enabled to transcend and to live with meaning and purpose in life.

본 논문은 목회자 사모들의 정신건강과 영적 안녕감 간의 관계를 파악하기 위해 부정적 정신건강 요소인 우울과 긍정적 정신건강 요소인 심리적 안녕감이 영적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 목회자 사모 236명을 대상으로 심리적 안녕감, 우울, 영적 안녕감 척도를 실시하고 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인구통계학적 변인에 따른 우울, 심리적 안녕감, 영적 안녕감 차이를 검증한 결과 목회만족도만이 유의수준 5%에서 유의한 모습을 보였다. 둘째, 우울은 영적 안녕감과 부적 관계를, 심리적 안녕감과는 정적 관계가 있었고, 우울보다 심리적 안녕감이 영적 안녕감에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 우울과 심리적 안녕감이 한 단위 증가할 때, 영적 안녕감에 대해 각각 -0.282, 0.668만큼 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 목회 만족도에 따라 만족/만족하지 못하는 그룹을 나누고 우울과 심리적 안녕감의 하위요인들이 영적 안녕감의 하위요인에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 두 그룹 모두에서 우울은 실존적 안녕에만 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 심리적 안녕감은 종교적 안녕과 실존적 안녕 모두에 영향을 미쳤으며 부정적 정신건강인 우울보다는 긍정적 정신건강인 심리적 안녕감이 목회자 사모의 영적 안녕감에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 우울과 심리적 안녕감이 목회에 만족하는 그룹보다 만족하지 않는 그룹의 영적안녕감에 더 큰 영향을 준다는 결과를 얻었다.

본 연구에서는 위와 같은 선행연구의 한계점을 극복하기 위해 영성, 영성적 안녕, 직장 내 영성, 영성과 종교 등 영성과 관련된 개념에 대해 구체적으로 구분하고 이를 검토하고자 한다. 특히, 영성교육의 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 조직에서 수행하는 영성 교육의 구성원들의 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는 것은 매우 중요한 학문적 그리고 실무적 함의를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 제안모형을 제시함에 있어서 영성의 모든 차원을 반영하기 위해 개인, 집단, 조직적 관점을 모두 반영하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 직업성격유형과 직업 환경 이론을 기반으로 제안모형을 구성하고 이를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석결과 비업무 몰입은 영성교육의 중요성 인식에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 업무 적정성과 경영진의 관심은 영성교육의 인식에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 영성교육의 인식은 영성교육의 만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 영성교육의 중요성 인식은 영성교육의 만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

While efforts to measure and monitor children's well-being have gained increasing recognition across the OECD, there has been relatively little research on the subject of indicators of children's well-being in Korea. This study was undertaken in order to develop the domains and indicators which can be used to measure the quality of life of Korean children from birth to age 17 and to put forward a possible well-being index for Korean children. The 35 indicators of well-being were grouped into eight domains and were designed for this study, using previous research on key child indicators for Korea and the child well-being index in foreign countries, such as the FCD-Land Index, Kids Count, the index of child well-bing in the European Union and OECD area. These domains are composed of the following : economic well-being, health, education, spiritual/emotional well-being, children's relationships, civic participation, safety/risk behavior, and housing and environment. The establishment of a Korean children's well-being index requires access to and use of national statistical data analyzed annually by the government as well as a general consensus regarding such issues as scope and its indicators.

Background: This study investigated the utilization of both problem and emotion focused coping strategies and their association with aspects of quality of life among Turkish women with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: The convenience sample consisted of 228 patients in all disease stages. The data were collected using the brief COPE, QOL-Cancer patient tool, sociodemographic sheet, and medical variables were gathered from patients' medical charts. Results: Findings reveal that quality of life is moderately high for this group of cancer patients, despite some specific negative facets of the illness and treatment experience. Acceptance, emotional support and religion were the most frequently used problem-focused coping strategies and self-distraction, venting and behavioral disengagement were the most frequently used emotion-focused coping strategies reported by patients. Overall quality of life and, particularly, psychological and spiritual well-being scores of younger patients were lower. Patients reported using significantly more problem-focused coping than emotion-focused coping, and more problem-focused and less emotion-focused coping predicted greater quality of life. Problem-focused coping was related to patients' physical and spiritual well-being and emotion-focused coping was related inversely with psychological and social well-being. Conclusions: Coping strategies are influential in patient quality of life and their psychosocial adaptation to ovarian cancer. Psycho-oncology support programs are needed to help patients to frequent use of problem-focused coping and reduce emotion-focused coping strategies to improve overall quality of life.
