편집척도와 강박척도에 의한 대학신입생의 정신건강평가

The authors studied paranoid ideation and obsession, using Derogatis s' SCL-90, in the subjects of 2,564 male and 1,252 female college freshmen of Yeungnam University. The authors collected the reports of Self-Rating Paranoid ideation and Obsession Scale during the periods from January to February, 1987, and applied ANOVA and t-test on paranoid ideation and obsession scores in order to compare them between various psychosocial factors, and sexes. The results are as follows: 1. There was not significant difference in the mean averages of total paranoid ideation scores between male and female students : male students scored $4.16{\pm}3.09$, female students scored $4.16{\pm}2.91$. 2. High scored items were delusion and suspiciousness. 3. Fifty-nine male students (2.3%) showed high paranoid ideation scores of 12 or higher, while twenty-six female students(2.1%) showed the same scores. 4. There was strong tendency toward higher paranoid ideation scores in the students who were dissatisfied with their home atmosphere, college, department and familiarity of parents and those who had pessimistic view of self in the past, present or future in both group(respectively P<0.001). The male students who believed protestantism showed higher level of paranoid ideation scores (P<0.01). The male students who attened the department of fine art showed higher level of paranoid ideation scores (P<0.05). 5. There was significant difference in the mean averages of total obsession scores between male and female students (P<0.05) : male students scored $10.40{\pm}5.43$, female students scored $10.75{\pm}5.02$. 6. High scored Items were perfectionism, indecisiveness, inattention & obsessive thoughts. 7. Thirty-eight male students(1.6%) showed high obsession scores of 25 or higher, while fifteen female students(1.2%) showed the same scores. 8. There was strong tendency toward higher obsession scores in the students who were dissatisfied with their home atmosphere, college, department and familiarity of parents and those who had pessimistic view of self in the past, present, or future in both group(respectively P<0.001). The female students who attended the department of home economics & whose educational fees were paid by her brothers & sister, showed higher level of obsession scores(respectively P<0.01).

영남대학교 신입생 3,816명(남학생 : 2,564명, 여학생 : 1,252명)을 1987년 1월부터 1987 2월까지 Derogatis의 편집과 강박척도를 사용하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 편집척도의 평균총점은 남학생 : $4.16{\pm}3.09$, 여학생 : $4.16{\pm}2.91$로 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. (2) 항목별 성적은 남녀학생 공히 망상, 의심 등의 항목에서 높았다. (3) 편집성적분포는 12점이상의 고득점자가 남학생 59명(2.3%), 여학생 26명(2.1%)으로 전체적으로 85명(2.2%)이였다. (4) 편집증과 관련된 사회정신의학적 요인들중 남녀학생에게 공통적으로 유의한 영향을 끼친 것은 가정환경이나 소속대학, 소속학과에 대한 불만족(각각 P<0.001), 부모에 대한 친숙도에 대해 불만인 경우(P<0.001), 과거 현재 미래의 자아상에 대하여 비판적인 경우(각각 P<0.001) 등이었고 남학생의 경우 미술대학에 다니는 경우와 기독교를 믿는 경우에 유의하계 높은 편집성적을 보였다(각각 P<0.05, P<0.01). (5) 강박척도의 평균총점은 남학생 : $10.40{\pm}5.43$, 여학생 : $10.75{\pm}5.02$로 여학생이 남학생보다 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). (6) 항목별 성적은 남녀학생 공히 반복된 확인, 우유부단, 주의집중곤란, 강박사고 등의 증상에서 높았다. (7) 강박성적분포는 25점이상 고득점자가 남학생 : 38명(1.6%), 여학생 : 15명(1.2%)으로서 전체적으로 53명(1.5%)이었다. (8) 강박증과 관련된 사회정신의학적 요인들중 남녀학생에서 공통적으로 유의한 영향을 끼친 것은 가정환경이나 소속대학, 소속학과에 대한 불만족(각각 P<0.001), 부모에 대한 친숙도에서 불만일 경우 (P<0.001), 과거 현재 미래의 자아상에 대해서 비관적인 경우(각각 P<0.001) 등이었고, 남학생은 공과대학 소속(P<0.001), 1만원이하의 잡비를 쓰는 경우(P<0.001), 그리고 여학생은 가정대학 소속(P<0.01), 잡비부담을 형제자매가 해주는 경우 (P<0.01) 등에서 높은 강박성적을 보였다.
