This study tries to study the poetic beauty of the space deconstructed by the medium appearing in Moon Sam-seok's children's poetry to help with simultaneous education and guiding methodology. The research method is based on the assumption that semiotics spatial image is read. In other words, we intend to derive the poetic beauty of the space in which the great pole space built by is deconstructed by the intervention of by the medium term . Among Moon Sam-seok's series of works, the research text is "The Wind and the Fire," "The Wind and the Empty Bottle," "The Wind and Salt," "The Wind and the Rock." According to the study, the wind deconstructed a space that was differentiated by the presence or absence of matter into a "coexistence space." These poetic spaces symbolize poetic beauty as ideal places of life that coexist in a distinction but not discrimination. Second, the wind has eliminated the gap between alienation, suffering and solitude. In other words, the wind deconstructed poetic space produced poetic beauty with the 'space of communication' based on homogeneity of the nature of existence. In conclusion, Moon's poetic speech can be seen that he intended to express the discreteness of the poetic space as 'communication' and 'common life' by deconstructing it with deviation and convergence by introducing a medium.

In many cases, trauma is overcome in a short periodtime, but for some, trauma results in long-term mental health issues such as in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Natural disasters cause different types and extent of damage, meaning the degree of stress experienced also varies. In the case of damage to a house, the impact can be considerable. Therefore, this study examined the trauma experienced by households whose homes were damaged by natural disasters and to confirm the characteristics of psychological trauma. It was confirmed that traumas was greater when a house was damaged, compared with damage to other types of items. In addition, even in the case of trauma occurring, factors that affect the pattern of change to someone's mental state vary depending on the state's classification. And In addition, health services is significantly analyzed in all variables, and it was considered that the provision of basic services related to safety after a disaster is paramount. However, while psychological counseling has a positive effect on short-term traumas that manifests as anxiety and depression, it has an adverse effect on PTSD because of the depth and complexity of the suffering in PTSD, meaning the type of psychological support needs changing.

The participants' action and interaction strategies were "maintaining or avoiding social relations," "seeking meaning of the illness," "falling into despair," and "strengthening the willingness to battle the cancer." The intervening conditions were "support from health care providers and family," "dissatisfaction with health care providers," "spiritual help from religion," and "the improvement or worsening of health conditions." The consequences were "having a new insight for life," "living positively along with cancer illness," and "the loss of willingness to live." A summary of the series of processes includes the "crisis stage," "reorganizing stage," and the "ego integration stage." Conclusion: This study explored the holistic process of ego integrity impairment and the recovery experience of elderly cancer patients.

Methods: Data came from autobiographies on the overcoming experiences of caregiving from 31 participants, who had submitted the autobiographies to a public contest held by the Seoul Metropolitan Center for Dementia in 2012. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Four overcoming stages emerged from the analysis: confronting stage; challenging stage; integrating stage; and transcendental stage, representing transformation of experiences from frustration and suffering to happiness and new hope in life. The confronting stage illustrates severe negative feelings and exhaustion occurring after the diagnosis of dementia. The challenging stage signifies major driving forces in taking good care of their patients. It includes tender loving memories about the patients as well as family and social supports. The integrating stage shows genuine empathy for the patients' situation and the happiness of 'here and now', while the transcendental stage represents new hope in the future.
