Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the level of knowledge and the attitudes of Korean adults toward sexuality of elderly people.
Methods
This was a descriptive study using a convenience sample of 241 adults. The questionnaire had 34 items for knowledge and 26 items for attitudes.
Results
The result showed that, related to sexuality of elderly people, the level of knowledge was average and attitudes were conservative. The level of knowledge was significantly higher in groups that were highly educated and of low economic status (p<.05). Attitudes toward sexuality of elderly people were significantly more conservative in female, older, less educated, and high economic status group.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the psychosocial adjustment process in adolescents with epilepsy in the context of Korean society and culture.
Method
A grounded theory method was used for data collection and analysis. Participants for this study were 9 adolescents who regularly visited an epilepsy clinic in a university hospital. The data was collected through in-depth interviews during the period from November, 2002 to June, 2003. Data collection and analysis were performed simultaneously.
Result
Twenty-three categories emerged including ‘ suffering’, ‘ psychological stigma’, and ‘ social isolation from one's peers’. Categories were divided into paradigms which consisted of conditions, actions/ interactions, and consequences. ‘ Reconstructing life’ was the core category in this study. The theoretical scheme was described by organizing categories around the core category.
Conclusion
This study provides a framework for the development of individualized nursing interventions to care for adolescents with epilepsy.

Abstract
PDF
The main purpose of this study was to identify the relationship of self efficacy and social support to the
psychosocial adjustment in people with epilepsy.
Data were collected from October 1 to October 15, 1999 from 101 people with epilepsy who were being
treated regularly at one of the university hospitals located in Seoul.
The research instruments were a questionnaire to gather demographic and disease-specific data, the Epilepsy
Psycho- Social Effects Scale developed by Chaplin et al(1990), the Epilepsy Self Efficacy Scale developed by
DiIorio et al(1992a) and translated by Park(1999), the Norbeck Social Support Questionnaire developed by
Norbeck et al(1981) and translated by Oh(1985).
Data were analyzed using the SPSS program.
The results are as follow :
1. Of the 14 psychosocial adjustment areas, 75 of 101 subjects experienced problems in ten or more
areas and 28 in all 14 areas. The severity of the psychosocial adjustment problem was moderate
or more in six areas.
2. The score for self efficacy was an average of 1103.86 out of a possible 1800, for social support
117.57 for total functional out of a possible 720, and 48.21 for total network out of a possible
264. There were an average of five people on the network. The main network people were parents,
brothers and sisters, spouse, friends.
3. Of the 14 psychosocial adjustment areas, six areas correlated with self efficacy and 'problems with
taking medication' area had a negative correlation with social support.
In conclusion, people with epilepsy have various problems in psychosocial adjustment. Nursing interventions
using self efficacy should be developed to improve psychosocial adjustment in people with epilepsy. Also,
instruments and interventions for regimen-specific supports which are suitable for epilepsy should be developed. -
