의미요법이 청소년 후기 말기 암환자의 생의 의미와 삶의 질에 미치는 효과 = The Effects of Logotherapy on Meaning in Life and Quality of Life of Late Adolescents with Terminal Cancer

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of a logotherapy program entitled ‘Finding meaning in my life’ for adolescents with
terminal cancer. Methods: A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized design was conducted with a convenience
sample of 44 late adolescents with terminal cancer. The experimental group (n=22) participated in the ‘Finding meaning
in my life’ program which consisted of five-day sessions for one week. The control group (n=22) received the usual nursing
care. The effects were measured using adolescent meaning in life (AMIL), and quality of life (QOL) scales. The collected
data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and t-test using SPSS/PC 17.0 program. Results: There
were significant differences in AMIL (t=3.36, p<.05) and QOL (t=2.67, p<.05) between the experimental and control groups.
Conclusion: Logotherapy is effective in improving the meaning in life and quality of life of late adolescents with terminal
cancer, and can be used to prevent existential distress.
