Purpose: Purpose of this study was to investigate the status of depression in academic high school students and path analysis model for exploring the mediating role of entrapment to depression in relation to academic stress and perceived social support. Methods: Measurements were four reliable questionnaires measuring academic stress, social support, entrapment, and depression. Data were collected from students in 17 high schools in Seoul. Results: Students (n=5,346) completing the questionnaires indicated depression & entrapment from academic stress. Depression was more prevalent in girls, those whose parents' household income was less than two million won, who did not live with father or mother or both due to divorce, separation, or death, and those who smoked or used alcohol. Entrapment was more prevalent in students similar to cases of depression and in seniors. According to the proposed path model, 48.6% of depression was explained by academic stress, social support, and entrapment. The indirect effect of entrapment as a mediator between academic stress and depression was verified and larger than the direct effect of academic stress on depression. Conclusion: Considering levels of depression and entrapment demonstrated by these students, better mental health programs with diverse strategies should be developed for their psychological well-being.

최근에 경제성장과 도시화로 인하여, 하천의 복원사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히, 하천복원 사업은 생태계 및 경관의 기능이 강조되고 있으며, 사회적으로 이에 대한 요구가 매우 높아지고 있다. 하천복원 사업을 추진함에 있어서 하천의 제방 법면의 처리에 대하여 많은 시도가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 식생매트는 안정적이면서 자연재료를 활용하여 생태계의 다양성과 녹색 경관을 형성할 수 있어서 많이 도입되고 있다. 그러나 이에 대한 홍수의 안정성 검토가 거의 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 식생매트에 대하여 실외실험을 통하여 홍수에 대한 안정성 및 내침식성 특성을 파악하였다. 식생매트의 표면에 있는 돌기는 유수 중에 부력에 의해 위로 상승하며 수중에서 식생의 역할을 하게 되며, 유수의 직접적인 영향을 저감시키는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 따라서 흐름에 대한 식생매트의 법면보호 효과를 증대시키기 위해서는 법면과 식생매트의 부착을 크게 하고, 식생매트를 부착시키는 앵커의 수중 노출을 최대한 저감하며, 유수 중에 앵커의 식생매트의 부력에 대한 지지력을 증가시키는 것이 중요하다. 또한 식생매트와 식생매트의 접합부에 유수 중에서 흐름의 집중이 발생하지 않도록 시공이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 연구의 실험 결과는 복강첩이(福岡捷二)등(1987)이 제시한 식생의 활착에 의해 뿌리의 깊이에 대한 내침식성 특성과 비교하였다. 부직포가 2겹일 경우에 식생매트의 내침식성 강도는 복강첩이(福岡捷二)등(1987)에 의하여 제시된 식생뿌리 깊이가 10 cm 인 경우보다 약간 작으나, 부직포가 3겹일 경우에는 경우에는 복강첩이(福岡捷二)등(1987)에 의하여 제시된 식생뿌리 깊이가 10 cm 인 경우와 잘 일치하는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 부직포가 4겹일 경우에는 식생매트의 내침식성 강도는 복강첩이(福岡捷二)등(1987)에 의하여 제시된 식생뿌리 깊이가 10 cm 인 경우보다 큰 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 평균 침식깊이는 부직포가 2겹일 경우에 평균 3.8 cm이며, 부직포가 3겹일 경우에 평균 3.4 cm 이었다. 부직포가 4겹일 경우에는 평균 침식깊이는 3.0 cm 이었다.

This study was conducted to figure out measures to improve abandoned mine area residents' life satisfaction from the viewpoint of ecosystems. The subjects of this study were 195 residents aged at least 30 years and structured survey were used collected from April, 3, 2014 to 20. The levels of abandoned mine area residents' mental health were measured using the general mental health scale and the residents' life satisfaction was examined using a life satisfaction scale. The abandoned mine area resident's life satisfaction was a little higher than the middle and their future life satisfaction was shown to be the lowest. Out of the microsystemic factors, mental health degree contributing to the quality of life and those with lower depression and anxiety showed higher life satisfaction. None of the mesosysystemic factors, were not found to influencing the quality of life. Out of the macrosystemic factors were found to be mine area special law in influencing the quality of life. In order to improve the life satisfaction of the mine locals seem to need practical strategies related for maintaining a healthy mind and continued implementation of the economic revitalization policy.

호주의 많은 소동물 임상수의사들이 최근에 관심을 갖고 있는 부분은 개의 아토피(Canine Atopy)에서의 알러지-특이성(Allergen-specific)IgE에 쓰이는 혈청 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay, 효소결합면역흡착검사)테스트의 활용 가능성에 관한 것이다. 희망사항은 개 아토피의 진단과 치료에 있어서 도움이 되도록 접근할 수 있는 시험(Accessible test)일 것이다. 아토피(Atopy)는 진단과 치료를 실패시키는 질병이며, 새로운 ELISA라도 이 문제를 쉽게 해결하여 주지 못한다. 개의 아토피에서 알려진(Allergens)들을 분석하는 데 쓰이는 혈청 ELISA처럼 아주 정확하게 특성화되어져야 한다. 해당 개는 아토피성(Atopic)으로서 진단되어져야만 되고 그 다음에 치료에 지침이 되도록 개별 알러진 동정(Individual allergen identification)용 ELISA로 개의 혈액을 스크린하는데 적합하여야 한다. ELISA와 피내접종시험(Internal testing)방법은 상관도가 낮고 그렇기 때문에 어떤 시험이 더 신뢰할 수 있는 것일까? 이러한 사실은 논쟁의 여지가 있으며 이상의 2가지 시험들이 옳다면 각각의 상응하는 각각 다른 아형(Subtypes)의 아토피라고 볼 수있다. 아마도 알러진들은 경피적으로 흡수되어 아토피성피부염으로 되어진다. 그것은 인체에서 건초열(Hay fever)이나 천식(Asthma)과 같이 흡입에 의해 일으키는 유사한 증후군동종 (Syndrome akin)과 같은 접근의 초기양식(Primary mode of access)으로부터 생기는 다른 유사한 질병과정이 되어질 수도 있다. 이러한 2가지 증후군은 함께 병발하는 경우가 있다. 의학에서는 피부 반점시험방법의 예비조사연구(Preliminary research with skin patch testing in medicine)는 아토피성 피부염을 야기하는 알러진들의 경피흡수경로의 개념을 지지해준다. 흡인 알러진들을 사용한 개들에서의 도전 시험(Challenge tests)들은 거의 대부분이 비-피부학적 임상증상들을 발현하였다. 모든 증거가 분명히 나타나도록 미래의 조사연구를 인도해 주는 게 필요하며 개 아토피의 정의와 진단을 둘러싼 수수께끼를 해결하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with coping responses in Korean public high school students. Methods: This study employed a descriptive survey research design. The sample included 263 high school students who responded to a self-report questionnaire. Variables included socio-demographic characteristics, health-related characteristics, academic stress, somatization symptoms, social support, and coping responses. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlations, and multiple regressions. Results: Participants, regarding their school life, reported moderate levels of academic stress ($M{\pm}SD=2.3{\pm}0.52$) and somatization symptoms ($M{\pm}SD=2.3{\pm}0.71$), and a relatively high level of social support ($M{\pm}SD=4.2{\pm}0.67$). All the variables were associated with the use of multiple coping responses. Active-cognitive coping ($M{\pm}SD=2.9{\pm}0.68$) was most frequently used, followed by active-behavioral coping ($M{\pm}SD=2.5{\pm}0.56$). and avoidant coping ($M{\pm}SD=2.3{\pm}0.75$). Significant relationships were found among the measured variables: positive relation between academic stress and somatization symptoms, but, negative between academic stress and both somatization symptoms and social support. Students who had higher stress and more somatization symptoms were more likely to use avoidant coping than the others. In multiple regression analysis, while factors associated with each coping response differed, gender appeared to be a significant factor in all methods. Variables included in the final model explained 27% of the variance in avoidant coping (F=11.40, p<.001). Conclusion: Based on the study results, schools should provide tailored educational programs to help high school students reduce multisource stress and somatization symptoms at school and cope with them in more active and effective ways.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of suicide reports by mass media and social support on suicide ideation for college students. Methods: Participants are 350 undergraduate students in one university. This study uses three questionnaires: Perception and Attitude toward Suicide Reports, Social Support, and Suicidal Ideation. The SPSS/WIN 12.0 program is used to analyze the data. In particular, the participants' biographical data are analyzed into frequency and percentage. The degrees of suicide reports, social support, and suicide ideation are calculated into Mean and SD. Moreover, the suicide ideation by suicide report and social support are analyzed by the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: This study reveals that college students have an average of 30 minutes to one hour news time a day (38.9%) and have at least one suicide report in a month (30.3%). 79.7% participants believe that the suicide report of mass media results in the cause of the copycat suicide. In terms of suicide report and suicide ideation, the types of mass media (F (4,340)=2.41, p<.05) and suicidal urge (F (1,340)=31.23, p<.01), respectively, have significant influences on suicide ideation. On the other hand, the social support and suicide ideation, whether college students have their mentors (F (1,328)=13.26, p<.001) and/or careres (F (1,328)=26.84, p<.001) have significant influences on suicide ideation. Conclusion: College students have higher suicide ideation at news by internet site rather than by radio, TV, and so on. Moreover, college students who have a suicide feeling in the last one year, have more suicide ideation than who have not. On the other hand, college students who have a mentor and carer tend to have less suicide ideation.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate nursing students' levels of and relationships between college-related stress, self-efficacy, social support, and interpersonal skills. Methods : This study involved 352 nursing students at K University in B City, each who understood the study's purpose and agreed to participate in the study. The study's data were collected between April 8 and 19, 2019 and were analyzed using the SPSS for Windows 22.0 program based on frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations as well as a t-test, analysis of variance, post-hoc test, and correlation analysis results. The Scheffe test was performed for the post-hoc test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was employed for the correlation analysis. Results : College-related stress showed statistically significant negative correlations with self-efficacy (r=-.310, p<.001), social support (r=-.312, p<.001), and interpersonal skills (r=-.226, p<.001). However, self-efficacy exhibited statistically significant positive correlations with social support (r=.548, p<.001) and interpersonal skills (r=.524, p<.001), and social support showed a statistically significant positive correlation with interpersonal skills (r=.644, p<.001). Therefore, higher levels of self-efficacy and social support and a lower level of college-related stress result in corresponding higher levels of interpersonal skills. Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to find measures to lower nursing students' college-related stress and increase their self-efficacy and social support, as well as to develop and operate specific intervention programs that can help enhance their interpersonal skills.

This study examined the relationship between social support and depressive symptom among the middle and old-aged people, using dataset of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA 3rd). The subjects were 7,874 persons aged 45 and over. Using this data, social support variables and its relation to depressions was observed based on social network model. A multiple regression model was used to study an association between social support and depressive symptom, controlling for socio-economic characteristics, health status and behavior. Also, this paper run two subgroup regression models based on gender of subjects (male, female), controlling for confounding variables. Authors found that there was lower the number of meetings with friends (1~3 times in a week: b=0.597, p<0.0001; 1~2 times in a month: b=0.609, p<0.0001; 1~6 times in a year or under: b=1.598, p<0.0001) and negative relationship between spouse satisfaction (b=-0.007, p=0.0237), children satisfaction (b=-0.019, p<0.0001) and depressive symptom. Also quantitative effect differences were compared according to gender and its effect on depression. Compared to the male group, female group showed significant difference in quantitative effect with number of meetings with friends and spouse satisfaction, but children satisfaction didn't show clear differences according to gender. This study suggested the importance of social support for promoting mental health among the middle and old-aged people.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between behavior patterns(DISC) and direct indirect of social support from dental hygienists. The data used in this study were obtained from 171 dental hygienists who have been working on dental hospital or clinic in Pusan and Gyeongsangnam-do from 1st July to 30th August in 2011. In the level of direct indirect of social support according to subjects' general characteristics, higher educational level and non-religion was related with higher in direct of social support(p<0.05), and hygienists who worked in general hospital was related with higher indirect of social support(p<0.01). According to between behavior patterns(DISC) and indirect social support, these score were that I-type 3.55, D-type 3.53, C-type 3.41, and S-type 3.36. All behavior patterns(DISC) were similar with the indirect support. In direct support these score were that S-type 2.98 I-type 2.95, D-type and C-type 2.91. In frequency of behavior patterns(DISC), these were that I-type 56.7%, S-type 16.4%, C-type 14%, and D-type 12.9%. In correlation between factors, direction social support was correlated with I-type(p<.01) and C-type(p<.01) of behavior patterns(DISC). On based on these results, if the change of working environment, working condition will improve social support of dental hygienists. And education program have to developed for dental hygienists.
