Purpose: The purpose of this narrative study was to understand how family caregivers interpreted themselves life during caring for dying patients with gliobalstoma, and how they integrated these experiences into their personal biographies. Methods: Three family caregivers were recruited for the study. Data were collected through a series of audio-taped unstructured interviews and conversations with participants. The interviews and observation were conducted between October and November, 2011. Data were analyzed using psychosocial analytical methods that combined case based, in-depth staged analysis of narratives. Results: The life experiences of the family caregivers with a dying family member were summarized as, in their own voices, 'the repetition of gliobalstoma,' 'a smart patient,' 'being obsessed with rehabilitation treatment,' 'the frustration from nothing but just looking at the suffering of the patient,' and 'a stubborn son'. Conclusion: Caregiving was characterised by various roles and life changes from the moment of diagnosis. Family caregivers of brain tumor reported experiences similar to those described by caregivers of people with other cancers. What differed for this group was the rapidity of change and the need for immediate information and support to assist with caring for a person with high-grade glioma.

This study examined the multicultural efficacy and job satisfaction of multicultural family visiting instructors. The subjects were 750 visiting instructors from 140 multicultural family support centers in Seoul, 6 metropolitan cities, 9 provinces, and other cities and counties. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentages, Pearson's correlations, One-way ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ post-hoc test, independent t-test, and stepwise multi-regression using PASW 18.0. The findings are as follows. First, there were statistically significant differences in all subscales of multicultural efficacy according to the teaching experiences of the multicultural family visiting instructors. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference only in trust in the relationships with multicultural families according to the teaching experiences of the multicultural family visiting instructors. Meanwhile, the independent t-test showed that there was a significant difference only in satisfaction regarding treatment and salary according to the assigned work. Second, the stepwise multi-regression models revealed that three subscales (job performance, trust in the relationships with the multicultural families, job aptitude) of job satisfaction were influenced by multicultural efficacy according to both the teaching experiences and assigned work, but this was no the case for satisfaction about treatment and salary. Regardles of teaching experience or assigned work, teaching efficacy in multicultural efficacy affected all subscales of job satisfaction except for satisfaction about treatment and salary. The implications for future studies are also discussed.

본 연구는 살인사건 피해 유가족의 심리적 경험을 이해하기 위한 현상학적 연구이다. 연구참여자는 연구 목적에 동의하고 면담에서 자신의 경험을 언어적으로 기술할 수 있는 9명의 살인사건 피해 유가족이었다. 살인사건은 면담 시점으로부터 6개월~4년 전에 발생했으며 면담을 실시할 당시에는 모든 사건에 대한 법적 판결이 내려진 후였다. 면담 자료는 Colaizzi가 제시한 방법에 따라 연구자와 자료분석자 2명, 그리고 본 연구 주제를 접해 본 적이 없는 자문가가 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 의미있는 문장 및 구 472개가 선택되었으며, 이는 일반적이고 추상적인 용어로 구성된 의미 48개, 주제 모음 24개, 부상 주제 16개, 범주 6개로 조직화되었다. 6개의 범주는 망자, 나, 가족, 타인/세상, 가해자/가해자 가족, 현실적인 문제들로 구성되었으며, 각 범주별로 참여자들의 경험을 구체적으로 기술하였다. 본 연구는 국내에서 살인사건 피해 유가족에 대한 선행 연구를 찾아보기 힘든 실정에서 현상학적 연구방법을 통해 이들의 경험을 본질적이고 총체적으로 이해하는데 도움을 주었다는데 그 의의가 있다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점과 논의점을 제시하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the essence of experiences of patients and family members during flexible visiting in an intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This is a qualitative study using interviews with open ended questions. We used Colaizzi's method of phenomenological interpretation. Results: Flexible visiting in the ICU impacted the patients and their families in various ways. The following categories were extracted from the patients' experiences with flexible visiting: 1) the opportunity to feel the presence of the family and 2) the burden of unrestricted visiting. The following categories were extracted from the families' experiences with flexible visiting: 1) psychological comfort by convenience 2) being aware of health care professionals and critical care nursing in the intensive care unit, and 3) double trouble. Conclusions: These results showed that flexible visiting in the ICU affected the patients and their families positively and negatively. Therefore, nursing staff need to design psychological and social interventions that address the needs of patients and their families.
