본 연구는 중년기 성인의 건강관리역량과 삶의 질 수준을 확인하고 두 변수 간의 관계를 파악하고자 시도되었다. 자료수집은 2015년 9월 7일부터 10월 8일까지 G광역시 소재 1개 전문대학 간호학과에 재학 중인 학생의 학부모 중 40~64세에 해당하는 412명을 대상으로 하였으며, 자가보고형 설문지를 이용하였다. 대상자의 학력, 가족지지, 월소득, 주 3회 이상의 운동, 주관적 건강상태에 따라 건강관리역량과 삶의 질 모두에 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 종교유무와 음주여부는 건강관리역량에만, 성별과 질병유무는 삶의 질에만 유의한 차이를 보였다. 건강관리역량의 7개 하부영역은 삶의 질과 순상관관계를 보였으며, 그 중 건강인지, 사회문화적 참여, 사회경제적 관여영역이 삶의 질을 50.3% 예측 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 중년기 성인의 삶의 질 향상을 위해서는 자신의 건강상태 뿐 아니라 건강상태에 영향을 줄 수 있는 주변 환경에 대한 인지능력을 향상시키고, 사회문화적 이해와 참여, 지역사회 제반 시설과 정책 등에 대한 관심과 참여를 유도하는 지역사회 프로그램 마련이 필요하리라 생각된다.

본 연구는 중년성인기 개개인이 느끼는 희망의 주관성을 과학적이고 체계적으로 분석, 설명하여 희망의 구조나 과정에 대한 포괄적이고도 깊은 이해를 하는데 있다. 본 연구는 행위자의 관점에서 출발하여 개인을 중시하고 개인에게 내재되어 있는 관점으로부터 주관적 현상의 차원을 이해하는데 유용한 Q 방법론을 적용하였다. 총 34개의 Q 표본과 21명의 P 표본이 본 연구에 사용되었으며, QUANL 분석프로그램을 이용하여 최종적으로 3개의 유형이 나타났다. 연구결과 한국 중년성인의 희망에 관한 독특한 3개의 희망유형은 (1) 수동적 소망형(Passive Wish Type), (2) 긍정적 실용주의적 희망형(Positive Pragmatic Hope Type), (3) 능동적 내적가치지향형(Active Internal Value-Oriented Hope Type)이었다. 한국 중년성인의 희망에 관한 주관성은 다른 생애주기에 있는 대상자와는 삶의 의미구조의 역동성, 목표지향성에서 차별화된 유형을 나타내었다. 중년기는 앞으로 삶의 위기가 따르는 즉, 여러 유형의 상실, 삶의 중대한 전환 등을 경험할 수 있는데, 이러한 시기의 대상자들이 경험하는 희망을 이해하였다는데 의의가 있다고 하겠다.

본 연구는 중년여성들의 복부지방 과다 축적에 의해 발생하는 건강상의 문제들을 해결하는데 도움을 주고자 복부부위에 대한 기계적인 마사지 처치가 체성분, 허리둘레 및 복부지방면적의 감소에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. WHR 0.85 이상의 복부비만 중년여성 10명을 대상으로 1회 20~30분씩 1일 2회, 주 5일, 4주간 총 40회의 기계적 마사지 처치를 시행하였으며, 처치 전·후 각 변인의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 체중, 체지방율, 허리둘레, 내장지방 면적, 복부 피하지방 면적, 복부 총지방 면적 등 모든 측정항목에서 유의한 감소가 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 고려할 때 복부부위에 대한 기계적 마사지 처치는 복부비만 중년여성들의 복부지방 감소에 도움을 주는 효율적인 방법이며, 나아가 복부지방으로 인해 야기되는 다양한 심혈관계 질환 및 대사성 질환의 예방과 치료에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Seven hundred and thirty three women's data from the 4th National Korean Size Survey for Standardization (1997) were analyzed. It was found that size increment of bust and hip girth of obese women was different from that of ordinary middle-aged women. The rate of coverage for a certain set of size specification and the grading increment value for the clothing of Korean obese women in middle aged group were also suggested. The relative percentage value of grading rule based on the change in bust girth increment of Korean obese women was quite different from that of American women. In conclusion, it was noted that the characteristics of the body size specification of obese women was quite different from those of the corresponding age group, so that the separated size specification and grading rule are needed to be used in the manufacturing process of obese women's clothing.
