Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify differences in Health Locus of Control (HLOC), depression, wellbeing, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP) between middle aged Korean and Korean-American women. Methods: Data from 80 Korean-American women living in Los Angeles, USA and 82 Korean women living in W-city, Korea, were collected using a self administered questionnaire including items on HLOC, HPLP, a Wellbeing Index and Major Depression Inventory. Results: There were statistically significant differences between the middle aged Koreans and Korean-Americans on mean age, education, religion, and current health insurance. Significant differences were found on HLOC (F= 2.504, p=.033) and Wellbeing (F=2.451, p=.036). The results also showed significant differences on HPLP (total HPLP, F=4.655, p=.001; physical activity, F=2.967, p=.014; nutrition, F=4.250, p=.001; spiritual growth, F=4.398, p=.001; interpersonal relations, F=2.648, p=.025; and stress management, F=5.201, p<.001) using ANCOVA. However, there were no significant differences on depression, or health responsibility in HPLP between the groups. Conclusion: Understanding middle aged women's health adjustments based on their culture will enhance the ability of health professionals to provide culturally congruent care and enable middle aged women to develop healthy lifestyles.

Extraction of impacted third molars is a routine procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. However, extractions in middle-aged or elderly individuals are not easy, and there are several factors that need to be considered. These factors include decreased healing potential and the risk of complications increasing with age. In addition, third molars can often be fully or deeply impacted in middle-aged individuals, and pathologic changes, such as cysts, caries, or periodontitis of the adjacent second molar, can develop. Furthermore, the rate of ankylosis and systemic disease increases after middle age. It is considered that these factors acting alone or in combination increase the difficulty of extraction.

The data used in this research were collected from forty-nine subjects using a nonequivalent control group non- synchronized design. Twenty-four persons for the experimental group and Twenty-five persons for the control group were selected from D city and C city from July 1997 to September 2000. Subjects' ages were between forty and fifty-six years old with mean the age of 45.6. Hand and arm massage developed by Cayce and Reilly was applied to the experimental group for a session of 15 minutes two or three times a week for four weeks. The instruments used for the measurement of the subjects' stress, anxiety, depression and the middle-life crisis were Langners's 22-item Self-rating Depression Scale, and Kim's Middle Life Crisis Scale(1988). These psychological factors were measured before and after the implementation of hand and arm massage. The data were analyzed with mean$\pm$s.d, percent, t-test, and a paired t-test. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Before the treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups. 2. After the treatment, there were significant differences in the stress and the occurrence of mid life crisis between the two groups. The findings suggest that the use of the life crisis.

본 연구의 목적은 직장 중년남성의 운동행위변화단계에 미치는 영향요인을 분석하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 충남, 충북에 거주하며 직장을 다니고 있는 40~59세 중년남성으로 연구의 목적을 이해하고 연구에 참여할 것을 동의한 170명의 중년남성을 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 수집된 연구 자료는 빈도, 백분율, 평균, 표준편차, t-test, 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 운동자기효능감(𝛽=.965, p=.003)과 지각된 건강상태가(𝛽=.805, p=.025) 직장 중년남성의 운동행위 변화단계에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 운동행위가 있는 직장 중년남성이 운동행위가 없는 직장 중년남성에 비해 운동자기효능감이 2.6배 높고, 지각된 건강상태는 2.2배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 연구결과를 토대로 직장 중년남성의 운동실천을 위한 전략은 운동자기효능감과 지각된 건강상태를 증진하는데 중점을 두어야하며, 이를 바탕으로 직장과 지역사회 차원의 운동프로그램 운영방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.

Date were analyzed for the relationship among nutrient intake, health status, socio-economic status dietary habits and lifestyle using a statistical program (SAS) Although the mean energy intake of the subjects did not reach the recommenced dietary allowances(RDA), mean protein intake was well above the RAD for both sex groups(111.2% and 129.1% for men and women, respectively) The caloric contribution of fat was 15 to 20 % of total energy intake among different groups. Riboflavin was the most deficient nutrient and its mean intake reached only 71.0% of RDA for mean This seemed to be due to the lower intake of milk and dairy products among middle-aged Koreans who are more accustomed to traditional meals. Income and exercise habit were the most important factors influencing the nutrient intake of middle-age adults. Also, BMI, smoking habit, level of education regularity of meal, and hours of sleeping influenced the nutrient intake, In conclusion, middle-age adults appeared to have similar problems with the elderly in terms of nutrient intake and this age group should to included when considering nutritionally vulnerable groups in addition to the elderly and young children.

중년기 여성 대부분이 자신의 삶에 책임을 지고 살아가야 하는 시기에 자신의 감정을 제대로 표현하지 못한 채 살아온 경험이 중년기 여성의 자신의 존재와 상실로 결국엔 홀로 남게 된 것을 깨닫고 외로움을 느낀다. 중년기 여성을 분석심리학 방법으로 무의식을 의식화하는 첫 단계로서 내면 속의 나와 만나는 이름 만다라와 난화 만다라를 수행하였다. 중간 단계는 과도기 단계와 작업 단계로 나눌 수 있다. 과도기 단계로 참여자의 내적 감정을 그림으로 표현하는 자궁으로 돌아가 어머니와의 깊은 애착 관계를 인식하고 자신의 감정과 만나는 단계로서 둥지 만다라와 연상 만다라를 행하였다. 작업 단계인 가치관을 증진하고 행동하는 내면과 만나는 자신을 수용하는 단계로서 씨앗 만다라, 연상 만다라. 강점 만다라, 자유 만다라, 문양 만다라를 수행하였다. 연구를 통해 만다라 미술치료가 중년기 여성에게 나타나는 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 만다라 미술치료 경험은 중년기 여성의 신체적, 심리적, 인간 관계적인 측면에 영향을 준다. 둘째, 만다라 미술치료를 통한 중년기 여성의 개성화 경험은 심리적 역동을 보이며 긍정적인 사고와 자아 효능감에 영향을 준다. 본 연구는 연구참여자의 실제적 이해와 직접 탐구를 통해 본질에 다가가는 질적 연구가 적합하였으며 중년기 여성에 관한 미술치료 연구의 부족과 내담자가 겪고 있는 문제를 고려하여 다양한 매체를 통한 미술치료 프로그램 개발에 필요함을 제시하는데 의미가 있다.
