Purpose: This study aimed to provide the baseline data for improving happiness under the influences of nursing professionalism and gratitude disposition in senior nursing students. Methods: The data were collected from 205 senior students in B and D metropolitan cities by structured questionnaires between November 1 and November 30, 2015. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analyses with SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: The mean score for happiness was above-average. Happiness significantly differed by satisfaction with nursing, perceived physical health status, and reason for entering nursing school. The significant predictors of happiness included gratitude disposition, social awareness and professionalism of nursing among subscales of nursing professional value, and perceived physical health status. The regression model explained 45.5% of happiness. Conclusion: To improve the happiness of senior nursing students, nursing educators need to develop intervention programs to increase gratitude disposition and perceived physical health status, as well as specific educational programs that strengthen social awareness and professionalism in nursing students.

한국인이 생각하는 행복의 구성요소를 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 행복지수 공식을 개발하기 위해 FGI(6l명)와 설문조사(1,503명)를 실시하였다. 연구결과 16개의 행복요인이 도출되었고, 이들 요인을 Alderfer(1972)의 생존 관계 성장 욕구위계 이론에 따라 3요소로 재분류한 뒤, LISREL을 이용하여 측정 모형에 의한 가중치를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한국인의 행복지수 공식은 '행복=2.5*생존+2.5*관계+5*성장'으로 나타났고, 공식에 따른 한국인의 행복점수는 평균 57.71로 나타났다. 성별로는 여성보다 남성이 더 행복하다고 지각하고 있었고, 연령대에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 지역별로 살펴보면 서울과 대전 지역이 다른 지역보다 행복한 것으로 나타났고, 경제수준에 따라서는 250만원을 기준으로 행복감에서의 두드러진 차이를 보였다. 또한 행복점수에 따라 상위 33%(즉, 행복하다고 느끼는 집단)와 하위 33%(즉, 불행하다고 느끼는 집단)을 구분하여 평균차이를 분석한 결과, 생존과 관계요소에서의 차이보다는 개인적이고 심리적인 요인인 성장요소에서 큰 점수 차이를 보였다. 따라서 생존 요소와 관계 요소보다는 성장요소가 한국인의 행복감 지각에 상대적으로 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 마지막으로 한국인의 행복을 위한 제언을 소개하였다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Happiness is an important factor in life, and food literacy (FL) has been emphasized as a core concept for a happy and healthy life. This study examined the level of happiness of Seoul citizens according to their sociodemographic factors and their association with FL. SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study used the data from the Seoul Food Survey, a cross-sectional study conducted on 4,039 Seoul citizens from September to October 2021. FL was measured using a validated questionnaire consisting of 33 items from 3 sub-domains: 14 items in the nutrition and safety domain, 8 items in the cultural and relational domain, and 11 items in the socio-ecological domain. Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS: Various sociodemographic factors, such as household income, subjective health status, and food insecurity, were found to be associated with the level of happiness. The level of FL was also associated with the happiness scores. After adjusting for variables associated with happiness, the participants with the highest quartile FL scores were 7.32 times more likely to respond that they were happy than those with the lowest FL score. Three FL domains and total FL showed linear increases in overall happiness after controlling for subjective health status and sociodemographic factors (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: After adjusting for the related covariates, higher levels of FL were associated with higher scores in happiness. Based on this study, it would be meaningful to evaluate ways to intervene in FL to improve the level of happiness among the general population.

돈이 많이 있으면 더욱 행복한가? 돈만으로 행복할 수 없다면 무엇이 중요한가? 행복은 어디서 시작되는가? 한국 성인의 삶에서 어떠한 행복의 조건들이 작용하는가? 어떻게 하면 마음의 행복을 더 잘 설명할 수 있는가? 라는 질문으로부터 이 연구는 출발하였다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 한국 사람들의 행복이 심리적, 관계적, 경제적 자원에 의해 영향 받는 정도를 분석하는데 주된 목적이 있다. 사회경제적지위에 차이가 있는 서울시내 세 지역 주민들을 가정방문하여 성인과 노인들을 표집하였으며, 최종분석대상은 20대에서 80대까지 총 313명(남 133, 여 180)이었다. 측정도구로는 연구자에 의해 제작된 배경정보와 정서적 지원 및 행복 척도와, Bandura(1995)에 의해 제작된 어려움극복 효능감 척도가 사용되었다. 행복에 영향을 미치는 변인들로 구성된 두 개의 연구모형을 경로분석과 효과분석으로 검증한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 월평균 수입이 행복에 의미 있는 영향을 미치지만, 월평균 수입 변인이 제외되어도 행복모형의 적합도에 변화가 없었다. 따라서 돈이 있을수록 더 행복하지만, 돈이 없어도 마찬가지로 행복할 수 있음으로써, 경제적 자원이 행복에 미치는 영향은 제한적인 것으로 확인되었다. 월평균 수입이 행복에는 영향을 미쳤으나, 자기효능감에는 영향을 미치지 못함으로써, 돈이 많다고 효능감이 높은 것은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 행복 증진의 핵심적인 활력제로서 관계적 자원이 가장 중요하였다. 즉 주위 사람들로부터의 따스한 정서적 지원이 개인의 행복에 미치는 영향이 가장 컸는데, 정서적 지원은 월평균 수입보다 행복에 대한 효과가 4~5배 정도 되었다. 셋째, 심리적 자원인 자기효능감도 행복에 의미 있는 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 어려움을 극복할 수 있는 효능감이 높을수록 더욱 행복하였는데, 자기효능감은 월평균 수입보다 행복에 대한 효과가 2배 정도 되었다. 또한 자기효능감은 정서적 지원과 행복 사이에서 매개변인의 역할을 하였다. 넷째, 직업에서 성취감을 느낄수록 더욱 행복하였다. 직업성취는 월평균 수입보다 행복에 대한 효과가 2배 정도 되었다. 다섯째, 자녀가 성공했다고 지각할수록 더욱 행복하였다. 자녀성공은 월평균 수입보다 행복에 대한 효과가 1.5배 정도 되었다. 여섯째, 학력은 행복에 대해 직접적인 영향은 없었으나, 자기효능감과 직업성취를 통해 간접효과가 약하게 있었다. 일곱째, 연령은 자기효능감이나 행복에 대해 의미 있는 영향이 없음으로써, 나이는 자기효능감이나 행복과 무관한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Self-management training is one of the ways to empower patients to cope with disease. The aim of this before-and-after quasi-experimental study was to determine effects of a teach-back self-management training method on breast cancer patient happiness. Fifty breast cancer patients who visited the Park-e Neshat Limited Surgery Clinic in Kerman, Iran were randomly divided into intervention and control groups after convenience sampling and checking for inclusion eligibility. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Oxford Happiness Inventory before and after teach-back training and analyzed using SPSS 23. Findings showed no significant difference between mean happiness scores in the two groups before the intervention. However, after the intervention, the mean happiness score in the intervention group increased from 37.2 to 62.9, while it decreased from 41.4 to 29.8 in the control group. These changes were statistically significant (p<0.001). Even after controlling for the effect of confounding factors such as residence location and history of cancer education, the observed differences between the groups were statistically significant (p<0.001). A teach-back self-management training program can increase happiness levels in breast cancer patients. Therefore, the use of this method is recommended to improve self-management and increase happiness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of being aware of the physical and psychosocial environment of the school on subjective feeling of happiness in Korean middle and high school students. Methods: The data of "Health and lifestyle Survey (2019)" conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute were analyzed after receiving approval though the website. A total of 5,311 middle and high school students were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were executed using SAS 9.4. Results: The mean score of subjective feeling of happiness was 6.92±0.56 out of 10. From the univariate analysis, the more positive the perception of the physical school environment was, such as classrooms, restrooms, exercise facilities, catering facilities, health facilities, other school facilities and school uniform, the higher the subjective feeling of happiness was (p for all <.001). In addition, the psychosocial environment of the school was significantly related to the happiness of adolescents (p<.001). After controlling for gender, school level, school grade, socio-economic status, and stress, positive perception of classrooms (B=0.04, p<.001), catering facilities (B=0.01, p=.021), health facilities (B=0.08, p<.001), and the psychosocial environment of the school (B=0.18, p<.001) was significantly associated with happiness of the students. Conclusion: Positive perception of the school environment was found to increase happiness in adolescents. Therefore, efforts should be made to make classrooms, catering facilities, and health facilities a pleasant space as well as to create a school atmosphere that values health.
