본 연구는 북한이탈여성 노인의 성공적 노화 척도개발과 신뢰도, 타당 도를 검증하기 위한 연구이다. 연구자는 북한이탈여성 노인 20명을 심층 면담하여 구성요소를 설정했다. 포커스 그룹을 걸쳐 북한이탈여성 노인 의 성공적 노화 척도 예비문항을 개발했다. 이러한 작업을 수행한 후 문 항분석, 상관관계 분석, 탐색적 요인분석, 확인적 요인분석을 실시하여 척도의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증했다. 연구결과 4요인 모델, 5요인 모델, 6요인 모델 모두 적합도 검증 결과 판정기준을 만족하는 것으로 분석했 다. 적합도 지수가 높게 나타난 6요인 모델을 최종적으로 선정했다. 연 구결과에 근거하여 북한이탈여성 노인에게 특징적으로 나타난 죽음인식, 자기성장, 모호한 상실 속에서의 가족 애착 등에 대한 논의를 했다.

This study examined the background of the dietary life of North Korean defector adolescents born and raised in North Korea and their new South Korean dietary experiences after being settled in South Korea. The study included six North Korean defector adolescents enrolled in an alternative school located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. This study’s qualitative research methodology included two-by-two group interviews, followed by individual interviews and field observation. The study period was from September 14 to October 26, 2019. Before entering South Korea, they primarily ate food pickled with soybean and salt, a cooking method by which foods are preserved because refrigerators were unavailable. After settling in South Korea, they had difficulty adapting to South Korean foods because of the unfamiliar ingredients and recipes. On the other hand, they quickly adapted to some foods, such as chicken. The participants reported that North Korean foods are generally light, whereas South Korean foods are sweet, salty, and spicy; hence, they do not taste delicious. The results suggest that attention be paid to menu improvement and the provision of nutritional education by schools and the government to prevent undernourishment or malnourishment because of unfamiliar ingredients and recipes.

통일선교를 준비하는 우리들에게 생애사적 증언에 기초한 북한의 정치·사회·경제·문화는 물론, 복음 환경과 같은 상황적 이해가 매우 중요하다. 졸저의 생애사 주인공 강철수(가명)는 북한이탈주민으로서 현재 남한에서 기독교 복음사역을 하고 있다. 이 연구는 강철수가 복음을 수용하고 북한선교 사역자가 되기까지의 생애사를 로젠탈 (Ronsenthal)생애사 연구방법으로 분석했다. 특히 강철수가 복음을 접하게 된 계기, 수차례의 탈북, 체포 및 수감생활 등 한국에 입국하기 전까지 생사를 넘나들던 시기, 그리고 한국 입국과 그 이후 신학대학원에서의 공부와 북한선교사역의 시작 등 현재까지의 그의 생애사를 분석했다. 분석결과 중국에서 복음을 전해 준 두 분의 영적아버지와 한국에서 북한선교의 비전을 심어 준 영적어머니와의 만남이 가장 중요한 요인으로 드러났다. 강철수의 신실한 믿음은 준비 된 인적자원 (human resources)과의 만남이라고 할 수 있는데, 이를 통해 우리는 통일선교 시대를 맞이하여 사람을 준비하는 일의 중요성을 새롭게 인식할 수 있는 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a basic research for the development of a program, PEP-NKMF (Parents Empowerment Program in North Korea Migrant Family). A total of 20 teenager North Korean defectors from an S school in Seoul city and five North Korean defector teachers at this school were surveyed through questionnaires and in-depth interviews from March 6 to 31, 2017. The results were analyzed using Nvivo 11.0, which is a representative method of qualitative analysis for forming nodes by tree structure. The results showed that the teenage North Korean defectors requested the family relationship competence, adaptation, interest and love from their parents. North Korean defector teachers requested the transformation of the value and the practical love. This study is meaningful in that the essential requirements of the parental competence building program, which is to be provided to North Korean defector parents, are analyzed based not on theories but on teenage North Korean defectors and North Korean defector teachers.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of simulation education to undergraduate nursing students who have defected from North Korea. Methods: Individual in-depth interviews with nine students were conducted using semi-structured interview and open question. Data were collected December 2014 to April 2015 and analyzed using Colaizzi phenomenological method. Results: Three essential themes were extracts that were as follows 1) Confronting another barrier 2) Reflecting on nursing competency through simulation education 3) Beginning of adaptation to the nursing education Conclusion: The results can contribute to an understanding of the simulation education experience of undergraduate nursing students who have defected from North Korea. In addition, these results will provide foundational data in establishing simulation education strategies to improve nursing competency, helping them adapt to nursing education in Korea.
