This study aims to examine the patterns of middle-aged parents' intergenerational support exchange with their adult children and its effects on the happiness of the parents. The sample consisted of 765 middle-aged parents selected from the National Survey of Korean Families by the Ministry of Equality and Family in 2010. The results were as follows. First, intergenerational support exchange between parents and their adult children was categorized into four groups depending on the provider of support: parents who exchanged no support with their children, parents who only received support from their children, parents who only provided support to their children, and parents who exchanged support with their children. Second, parents who exchanged no support with their children were high in instrumental support and those who both provided and received support were high in emotional support. Third, consciousness of their children significantly affected the satisfaction level of their relationship with their children. The more the parents emphasize on the growth of their children, the more they were satisfied. Parents in the support exchange group were more satisfied when they received economic support from their children. With regard to instrumental and emotional support, parents were more satisfied when they provided support to or mutually exchanged support with their children. Forth, subjective health conditions, consciousness of their children, and household's income more significantly affected the happiness of middle-aged parents than the patterns of intergenerational support exchange. With regard to economic support, parents who only received support from their children were less happy than the other groups. With regard to instrumental support, parents who exchanged no support with their children were happier than the other groups. With regard to emotional support, parents who provided support to their children were happier than the other groups.

As the adult population continues to increase, orthodontic treatment for adult patients is becoming more common. This case report describes comprehensive orthodontic treatment of a middle-aged patient with closure of the extraction space without prosthetic restoration. A 55-year-old woman with her maxillary left first premolar extracted because of a periodontal problem, wanted to close the space with orthodontic treatment. Since she had generalized crowding and mild skeletal discrepancy, we planned comprehensive orthodontic treatment, including closure of the extraction space by protraction of the left maxillary molars using miniscrews and aesthetic alignment of anterior teeth. The total treatment period was 28 months. As a result of these treatments, the extraction space was successfully closed, good tooth alignment and satisfactory occlusion were achieved.

This is a basic study to recommend a legging sizing system suitable for middle-aged women. This study aims to explore and analyze the sizing system of branded leggings for middle-aged women. Therefore, 40 pairs of leggings from 20 brands preferred by middle-aged women were first selected to compare their sizing systems. Thus, it was found that the size distribution of legging brands varied significantly, and the number of sizes or the size deviation also varied depending on the brands or products. Second, the adult female age groups were classified as 18-24 years, 25-34 years, 35-44 years, and 45-59 years. Additionally, the distribution of the waist and hip circumferences by age group was compared with the size specifications of the leggings. Leggings with large differences between size specifications and body size distribution were identified in each age group. In the case of women aged 45 to 59, the size distribution suitability of branded leggings was found to be the lowest among the four age groups. Furthermore, it was also found that it is important to reflect the body size distribution, especially the waist circumference, to establish a legging sizing system suitable for women aged 45 to 59 years.

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.

Method: The subjects of this study were 155 women from 40 to 60 years. The data was analyzed using SPSS program for frequency, percentage, mean, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: 1. The mean score of health behaviors was 3.10 out of maximum 4. 2. The mean score of self-reported menopausal symptoms was 1.73 out of maximum 2. 3. The mean score of sexual satisfaction was 2.73 out of maximum 4. 4. Women's degree of menopausal symptoms had negative correlations with the degree of health behaviors(r=-0.437, p<.001) and the degree of sexual satisfaction(r=-0.439, p<.001). The degree of health behaviors had a positive correlation with the degree of sexual satisfaction (r=0.470, p<.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, menopausal symptoms-based complaints by middle-aged women were negatively correlated to health behavior and sexual satisfaction. Therefore, health behavior should be considered when developing nursing strategies for middle-aged women, especially when dealing with menopausal symptoms and sexual satisfaction.

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.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between depressive symptom, spiritual well-being and state hope in early adults and middle aged patients with depression. Methods : A total of 180 outpatient were surveyed with Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-being Scale (FACIT-Sp) and The State Hope Scale (SHS). Mean scores of BDI, FACIT-Sp and SHS were compared between two groups of different age. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to identify the effect of BDI and FACIT on SHS according to age. Results : Mean scores of SHS and FACIT were higher significantly in middle aged group than early adults group, while BDI was not different between two groups. And early adults and middle aged patient's state hope showed a significantly negative correlation with spiritual well-being. In regression analysis, the effect of BDI, FACIT on SHS were significant in both groups and the regression model explained 42% of the variance of state hope in early adults group and 26% in middle aged group, respectively. Conclusion : These findings suggest that in depressive symptom and low state hope relationship, spirituality is important protective factor in both aged adult outpatients with depression.
