현대인들은 학업, 취업, 업무, 장수 스트레스 등 연령대별로 다양한 환경 스트레스에 시달리고 있다. 특히 우리나라의 자살사망률은 OECD 국가 중 가장 높은 수준으로 최근 코로나19와 관련한 걱정과 두려움, 불안, 우울을 느끼는 국민이 늘어나면서 자살시도도 증가세에 있다. 치유농업은 이러한 다양한 사회문제를 해결하기 위한 대안으로 제시되고 있으며 농촌자원들을 활용하여 사람들에게 휴식처를 제공하고 기획된 프로그램을 통해 치유할 수 있어 그 만족도가 높게 나타나고 있다. 우리나라의 치유농업은 2020년 3월 치유농업 관련법이 제정되면서 본격적인 활성화가 예상되고 있으나 치유농업에 대한 다양한 학술적인 연구는 많이 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 치유농업 체험자를 대상으로 치유농업프로그램의 유형이 체험만족도에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 기능적이미지와 감정적이미지가 매개역할을 하는지에 대해 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 독립변수에 치유농업프로그램의 대표적인 유형인 원예치유, 동물매개치유, 음식치유, 숲치유 4가지를 선정하였고 종속변수에 체험만족도를 선정하여 영향을 미칠 것이라는 인과적 경로를 검증하고자 한다. 또한, 기능적이미지와 감정적이미지의 매개효과를 중심으로 진행하고자 한다.

The rate of suicide is the 5th leading cause of death in Korea. Moreover, suicide is the 1st cause of death in from 2nd to 4th decade. In order to treat suicide attempters who have visited the emergency room and to prevent retries, it is necessary to understand the nature of the suicide and to take the right approach. Suicide is more than doubled in women, and retry rates are high among patients with a history of suicide. Suicidal means are throat, fall, gas poisoning, poisoning and drowning. All suicide attempters should suspect and treat cervical spine injury and airway management, and rapid hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended for carbon monoxide addicts. Interviewing a suicide attempter requires a sympathetic attitude and examines the underlying depression or adaptation disorders. Interdisciplinary care with mental health departments is necessary, and interventions in emergency roombased suicide attempt management work can be helpful to connect with the community.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the social factors influencing the 'authenticity of suicidal ideation' based post-suicidal care programs in emergency departments (EDs). Methods: This retrospective study was an analysis using the data of patients who had attempted suicide and visited the ED in tertiary urban hospitals from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. The variables examined included gender, age, history of previous psychiatric disease, suicide method, and the number of previous attempts. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors influencing the registration rate for the community-based post-suicide care program. Results: Overall,1,460 suicides were analyzed, 177 (1.16%) showed a high authenticity of suicide. The social factors influencing the authenticity of suicide intent were the unmarried status of men and women, joblessness, history of mental illnesses, more than two previous suicide attempts, the influence of alcohol, and an attempt to commit suicide after midnight more specifically between 24:00 to 6:00 hours in the morning (p<.05). The factors influencing the severity of the condition of high authenticity suicide patients were low Glasgow coma scores (12 points or less), lactate levels, and oxygen saturation observed in the patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment and died (p<.05). Conclusion: The need for evidence-based preventive measures and early assessment tools at the emergency medicine level is emphasized to reduce the rate of suicide attempts. If the results of this study are used in the management of suicide prevention, the evaluation of the authenticity of suicide intent will be more likely to be made at the emergency medicine level, allowing the severity to be assessed earlier.

Objective : Current study investigated the association between internet addiction and suicidal attempts in psychiatric patients. Methods : Patients who visited emergency department or psychiatry outpatient unit of Chungnam National University Hospital from January 2020 to July 2021 were included in this study. Total of 192 participants, 96 suicidal attempt cases and 96 psychiatric control patients without history of suicidal attempt were matched by gender and baseline diagnosis. Depression and internet addiction were assessed by using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Independent t-tests, and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results : IAT scores were significantly higher in suicidal attempt case group (41.09±18.196 years) compared to psychiatric control patients without history of suicidal attempt (36.63±17.016 years) (p=0.040). Internet addiction (adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]=2.049, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]=1.004-4.539, p=0.0493) was an independent risk factor for suicidal attempt in psychiatric patients after controlling age, gender, and sociodemographic factors, such as marital status, education level and employment status. Conclusion : This is the first study to investigate the relationship between internet addiction and suicidal attempt in psychiatric patients in Korea. Internet addiction is significantly associated with suicidal attempt in psychiatric patients, after adjusting sociodemographic variables. This study provides evidence to future studies to further investigate on causality of internet addiction and suicidality in psychiatric patients.

Objectives: To investigate current status of randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) registration for suicide attempters. Methods: The World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO-ICTRP) was used to search for data using 'suicide' as a search term. All registration information of RCTs registered up to April 2023 were collected. Results: Among a total of 68 RCTs registered, the United States ranked the highest in terms of quantity in this field (n=30, 46.15%), whereas Asia had only six (8.82%). A total of 62 (91.18%) RCTs involved individual interventions, while nine (13.24%) RCTs involved group interventions. Among individual interventions, 11 (16.18%) and 54 (79.41%) RCTs were on pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, respectively. Within psychotherapy, there were a total of 17 (25%) studies utilizing digital media, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) via phone being the most common approach. Among non-digital media-based studies, CBT was used the most frequently (n=11, 16.18%), followed by attempted suicide short intervention program (n=6, 8.82%). There were no studies using interventions from East Asian traditional medicine, including Korean medicine (KM). The most frequently used main outcome was the Beck scale for suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Studies on suicide attempts in Asia, especially in South Korea, are very scarce. Despite vigorous psychotherapeutic research in this field, KM psychotherapy has not been used. Thus, KM clinical trial for suicide attempters might be planned in the future based on our findings.

본 연구는 문제음주자의 성별에 따른 정신건강, 대사증후군과 영양소 섭취를 비교하기 위해 시도 되었다. 2010-2012년까지 실시된 제5기 국민건강 영양조사를 원시자료를 이용하여, 19세 이상의 음주하는 성인 남, 녀 중 AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test) 12점 이상 자를 문제음주자로 선별하여, 최종 669명을 대상으로 하였다. 문제음주자의 정신건강은 스트레스, 우울, 자살생각을, 대사증후군은 허리둘레, BMI(body mass index), 공복혈당(fasting blood sugar), HDL(highdensity lipoprotein), Triglyceride, BP(blood pressure) 중 3가지 이상 정상범위에서 벗어나는 경우로 구분하였으며, 영양소 섭취는 에너지와 9개의 영양소의 적정 섭취비(Nutrient adequacy ratio:NAR) 및 평균 영양소 적정 섭취비(Mean adequacy ratio: MAR)를 구하여 확인하였다. SPSS18.0을 이용하여, 빈도와 교차분석, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 일반적 특성은 연령, 결혼상태, 직업유무에서, 정신건강은 스트레스, 우울, 자살생각에서 유의한 차이가 있었고. 대사증후군은 대사증후군 여부, FBS, HDL, BP에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 영양소 섭취는 Calcium, Vit. A, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vit. C, MAR에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 각각 유의한 차이를 보인 변수에 대해서 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 스트레스, 우울, 자살생각은 남성의 경우 19-29세, 여성은 30-49세가 유의하게 많았고, 대사증후군은 남성은 직업이 있는 경우와, 여성은 미혼과 경제상태가 '중-하'인 경우가 더 많았다. 평균 영양소 적정 섭취비(MAR)는 남성은 미혼, 기취업, 경제상태가 '중-하' 인 경우, 여성의 경우는 경제상태가 '하'수준일수록 더 많았다. 문제 음주자의 정신건강, 대사증후군, 영양섭취문제를 해결하기 위한 접근과 중재를 계획 할 때 본 연구를 통하여 확인된 유의한 차이를 보인 특성들을 고려한다면, 보다 효과적으로 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Objects:Some studies have suggested that brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF), one of the most important neurotrophins, is involved in pathophysiology of depression and suicide. This study was performed to determine whether there is an abnormality in plasma BDNF concentration in suicidal attempters. Methods:The subjects were 71 suicidal attempters who visited emergency rooms in multi-medical centers. All subjects had been interviewed by using Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV(SCID), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HDRS), Young Mania Rating Scale(YMRS), and Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS). The severity of the suicidal behavior was measured by Lethality of Suicide Attempt Rating Scale(LSARS) and Risk-Rescue Rating(RRR) system. Seventy-one age, sex, and diagnosis matched non-suicidal psychiatric patients who were consecutively admitted to a psychiatric ward during the same period recruited as psychiatric controls. They were drug-naive or drug-free at least more than 2 months. In addition, 80 healthy controls were randomly selected as normal controls. Plasma BDNF level was measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) methods. Results:In overall F-test, differences of the plasma BDNF levels among the groups were statistically significant(F=20.226, p<0.001). In the multiple comparisons(Scheffe), while mean levels of plasma BDNF between normal controls and non-suicidal psychiatric patients were similar(p=0.984), the BDNF levels of suicidal attempters were lower than those of other two groups(p<0.001). LSARS and RRR did not reveal any significant correlations with BDNF levels in suicidal attempters. Conclusion:These results suggest that reduction of plasma BDNF level is related to suicidal behavior and BDNF level may be a biological marker of suicidal behavior.

Objectives To examine direct causes of attempted suicides, methods adopted to commit suicide, and psychiatric diagnoses among suicide attempters in South Korea. Methods A total of 1359 suicide attempters who had visited emergency department of 17 medical centers due to suicide attempt from May 2013 to Nov 2013 were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Results Psychiatric symptoms were the most common cause of suicide attempts (62.2%), followed by interpersonal relationships (24.4%). Women attempted suicide more often for interpersonal reasons, whereas men were more likely to do so for financial and job-related reasons. Half of participants (55.8%) attempted suicide by drug intoxication, which was more prevalent among females and those who had previous history of psychiatric disease or previous suicide attempt. Men were more likely to use more lethal methods such as pesticide poisoning and gas inhalation than women. Pesticide poisoning was also prevalent among the elderly group and the rural population. Near ninety-five percent (94.5%) of participants received a psychiatric diagnosis : the most frequent diagnosis was depressive disorder. Conclusions This is the first nationwide study of cases of attempted suicide. When stratified by age groups, gender, urbanicity, living alone or not, presence of physical illness, previous psychiatric history, and previous suicide attempt, there were significant differences with respect to causes, methods of attempted suicides and psychiatric diagnoses of suicide attempters.

본 연구는 남성 알코올 중독 회복자의 생애사 연구이다. 본 연구의 목적은 남성 알코올 중독자의 삶을 통해 알코올 중독의 원인을 이해하며 그 원인에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 탐색하고, 알코올 중독에서 회복하는 경험을 이해하고자 함에 있다. 본 연구에는 10년 이상 회복 중인 남성 알코올 중독 회복자 노인이 참여하였다. Mandelbaum(1973)이 제안한 생애사 기법에 따라 '삶의 영역', '전환점','적응'으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 삶의 영역'은 <아버지가 망하던 그날>, <모래 위에 지은 누각과 같았던 젊은 날>, <술병에 갇혀버린 결혼생활>, <막다른 길, 혼자 남겨진 삶>으로 나타났으며, '전환점'은 <자살시도, 그리고 인간다운 삶에 대한 욕구>, <하늘에서 내려온 동아줄, 기초생활수급비>, <새로운 문을 열고 복지관에 들어서기> 로, 마지막 '적응'은 <중독으로부터의 해방을 위해 선택한 고독>, <무위(無爲)의 시간과 공간 채워나가기>, <돕는 손길과 함께 해내기>로 도출되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 알코올 중독의 회복을 위한 사회복지적 실천 및 정책 차원의 논의를 제시하였다.
