The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between drinking patterns and depressive mood, and to understand the factors associated with depressive mood among problem drinkers. Data of 19,878 adults over 19 years of age and older from the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The risk of depressive mood was greater with higher level of problem drinking in both genders. For male problem drinkers, the factors associated with depressive mood include older age, lower education level, unemployment, high perceived stress, bad subjective health status, and non-married status. For female, higher risk was found in groups with the age of 40-49, lower education level, unemployment, high perceived stress, and bad subjective health status. By early screening of the identified risk factors, progression to mental health problem can be avoided. For preventative measures, differential approach depending on gender is suggested.

본 연구는 광역시와 광역도 간의 개인적 요인과 건강수준 정도가 우울경험 여부에 영향을 미치는 변수의 중요도를 파악하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구의 자료는 질병관리청의 2021년 지역사회건강조사 데이터를 활용하였다. 광역시의 데이터는 4,602건을 이용하였고, 광역도는 19,545건의 데이터를 이용하였다. 자료 분석에 활용된 빅데이터는 R 4.3.0 for Windows를 활용하여 단어 빈도 분석과 machine learning기법인 Random Forest분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, train 데이터와 test 데이터의 과적합(overfitting)의 문제는 발생하지 않았으며, machine learning 기법의 분류모델은 약 94% 수준으로 나타났다. 분석 결과 광역시와 광역도 간의 우울경험여부에 미치는 중요도가 각각 다르게 나타났다. 두 지역의 시민에게 미치는 우울경험의 원인을 다르게 접근함으로써 보다 더 효율적인 정책수립이 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

Loss experience can bring more negative impact to the person, if experienced in a younger period. This study examined how self-esteem mediates the effect of emotional expression and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies regarding one's loss during adolescence among college students on depression. The data of 380 college students entails what kind of loss was experienced, how the level of self-esteem mediated the effect of emotional expression and maladaptive emotion regulation strategy after loss experience on depression; and it was analyzed with SPSS 21.0 and Amos 21.0. The results showed that emotional expression about loss experiences was negatively correlated with depression (${\beta}=-.180$, p<.01), and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies showed a positive correlation with depression (${\beta}=.266$, p<.001). The emotional expression of loss experiences decreased the level of depression by increasing the level of self - esteem, and maladaptive emotion regulation strategy of loss experience increased depression level by lowering self-esteem level. Therefore, it is conceivable to assume that the more people articulate on various emotional experiences after their loss and think positively about themselves, and the less they criticize for themselves, the less likely they are to experience depression while maintaining high self-esteem.

The current study examines the association between multiple losses and depressive symptoms and the role of social support in multiple losses. Using a prospective designed dataset(Changing Lives of Older Couples), this study found a significant difference on the depressive symptom levels between multiple losses and single loss. In addition, there was a significant buffering effect of social support in bereavement, as oppose to previous literature that social support does not buffer the initial bereavement reaction in comparisons between the bereaved with multiple losses and the bereaved with a single loss. The author discusses the importance of monitoring elderly people with multiple losses and availability of social support before and after the loss.
