Abstract

This study explored the change in keywords and topics in newspaper articles related to schizophrenia after the Gangnam murder case. The study examined newspaper articles related to schizophrenia for five years before and after the Gangnam murder case. A semantic network analysis was conducted using the NetMiner 4.4.1 program. 610 articles between 2013 and 2018 were retrieved from 8 national newsletters. The most frequent core keyword was 'treatment' before the murder case, but 'incidents' after the case. Four topics were identified: 'becoming chronic if missing the time of treatment due to prejudice', 'being curable with early treatment', 'living an ordinary life with medication', 'being indicted as a murderer while impaired by a mental disorder' before the murder case. After the case, four topics were identified: 'committing murder for delusions, not misogyny', 'medication non-adherence leads to more impulsive behavior', 'claiming leniency for criminals due to the mental impairment', 'killing the police who were mobilized to stop stabbing rampage'. These findings suggest that newspaper articles should provide accurate information about schizophrenia to reduce prejudice and stigma toward patients with schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness.

본 연구는 조현병 관련 기사에 나타난 키워드와 주요 주제의 변화를 파악하는 의미연결망 분석, 계량적 내용분석 연구이다. 연구대상은 강남역 살인사건 전후 5년간 보도된 조현병 관련 신문기사이다. 수집된 자료는 NetMiner 프로그램 4.4.1을 이용하여 네트워크 통계분석을 시행하였다. 2013년부터 2018년까지 8개 중앙지에서 610개의 신문기사가 검색되었다. 출현빈도가 가장 높은 주요 키워드는 강남역 살인사건 이전에는 '치료', 사건 이후에는 '사건'으로 나타났다. 사건 이전에는 '편견으로 치료시기를 놓치면 만성화 됨', '조기 치료하면 치료가 가능함', '약물치료로 정상적인 생활이 가능함', '심신미약 상태에서 살인 혐의로 기소됨'이라는 네 가지 주제가 도출되었다. 반면, 사건 이후 '여성혐오주의자가 아니라 피해망상이 심해져 살인을 저지름', '약물치료 중단으로 충동적인 행동이 유발됨', '범행 후 심신미약으로 인한 감형을 주장함', '흉기 난동에 출동한 경찰을 살해함'이라는 네 가지 주제가 도출되었다. 이러한 결과는 신문기사가 조현병 및 기타 정신질환자에 대한 편견과 낙인을 줄이기 위해 조현병에 대한 정확한 정보를 제공해야 함을 시사한다.
