WHO passed the ICD-11 amendment in 2019, which included gaming disorder, and there are confronted opinions whether this should be listed in the revision of the KCD in Korea. This study explains the consent and opposition to the listing of gaming disorder, and then investigates the effect of the listing of gaming disorder and the adoption of gaming addiction tax. The results of this study find that the listing of gaming disorder and the adoption of gaming addiction tax could negatively affect the investment value and the global national competitiveness of the Korean game industry.

It is important to find risk factors associated with mental disorder. Also the hazard ratio that represent the relationship of risk factors with illness is main interest in medicine. Thus we used odds ratio to explore the relationship between mental disorder and risk factors. On this paper, when we applied Bayesian network to delirium of mental disorder, we selected major risk factors and calculated odds ratio. Especially we identified odds ratio of single risk factors and multiple risk factors.

The objective of this paper was to determine the degree of diagnostic overlap. In a pilot study of 56 inpatients(mean age 12) with DSM-III-R axis I and/or II disorders, the degree of psychiatric comorbidity was examined. 64.3% had two or more diagnoses. The samples were divided into the following 9 groups 1) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder 2) conduct disorder 3) oppositional defiant disorder 4) schizophrenia 5) mood disorders 6) tie disorders 7) elimination disorders 8) mental retardation 9) personality disorders Substantial overlap(especially tic disorders, elimination disorders, disruptive behavior disorders) occured among inpatients Patients had about 2 DSM-III-R axis I & II diagnoses. Additional research with increased sample size is necessary to clarify its relationship with other psychiatric diagnoses.

A comparison was made regarding illness behavior among patients with somatoform disorders, depressive disorders and psychosomatic disorders. The subjects consisted of out-patients with somatoform disorders(N=52), depressive disorders(N=52) and psychosomatic disorders(N=51). illness behavior was assessed by illness Behavior Assessment Schedule and the questionnaire about help-seeking behavior. The patients with somatoform disorders and psychosomatic disorders more often affirmed the presence of somatic disease, were more likely to have phobia of disease, had more preoccupation with ideas of disease and more frequently shopped around oriental clinics than the patients with depressive disorders. The patients with somatoform disorders more often attributed its cause to physical factors, less often attributed the origin of affective disturbance to psychological causes, showed Less depression and irritability, and were less likely to accept psychiatric treatment recommended by other physicians than depressive patients. The patients with somatoform disorders were more likely to report having been told that they suffered from a mild illness than those with psychosomatic disorders. The patients with somatoform disorders with psychological problems tended to inhibit expression of their emotion. Female patients with somatoform disorders more often affirmed the presence of psychological disorder and attributed its cause to psychological factors than male ones. These results suggest that in illness behavior, patients with somatoform disorders are different from depressive patients, whereas the former patients are similar to psychosomatic patients except the discrepancy between therapists and patients regarding evaluation of their symptoms. Thus, it is emphasized that first, therapists need to approach patients with somatoform disorders somatically with understanding of their underlying need to deny psychological problems, followed by either psychological or biopsychosocial approach.

This study assessed psychiatrically referred 5-to 13-year-old children who presented inattention or hyperactivity as chief complaints. Demographic characteristics, primary diagnosis, and comorbid psychiatric conditions of them were identified, and they were assessed using questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. Primary diagnoses included ADHD, anxiety disorder, mental retardation, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, developmental language disorder and others. functional enuresis, conduct disorder, and developmental language disorder were among the secondarily diagnosed disorders. In patients diagnosed as ADHD, overall comorbidity rate was 55.3%. The disorders that frequently co-occured with ADHD were specific developmental disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety disorder and other. ADHD groups with or without comorbidity differed in performance IQ and CPT scores. ADHD group differed from externalizing disorders group in the information subscore of IQ, MFFT, and CPT scores, and differed in teachers rating scales, the uncommunication factor of CBCL, and CPT card error compared with internalizing disorders group. The authors concluded that inattentive or hyperactive children should be assessed using various instruments to differentiate other disorders and to identify possible presence of comorbid conditions.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of dietary self-efficacy and illness beliefs, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers for the reduction of sodium intake in the elderly. A cross-sectional study was performed on 252 elderly people, aged 65 yrs and above, living in Daejeon Metropolitan city and Jecheon city, Chungbuk from March 21 to March 30, 2011. Dietary self-efficacy of three factors (resisting relapse, reducing salt and behavioral skills), perceived benefits and barriers, accurate and inaccurate illness beliefs were measured by 5 or 4 point Likert scale. With the increasing education level of the elderly, dietary self-efficacy, and accurate illness belief score increased and perceived barrier score decreased. Perceived benefits score was higher in the subject living alone compared to those living with siblings or spouses. Among three factors of dietary self-efficacy, reducing salt was scored highest and behavioral skills scored lowest in the elderly. Recording meal diary and reading labels for salt content in the items of behavioral skills showed lower score than other items. Accurate illness beliefs and perceived benefits were more scored than inaccurate illness beliefs and perceived barriers respectively in the subjects. The subjects with higher accurate illness beliefs, lower inaccurate illness beliefs, higher perceived benefits, and lower perceived barriers for the reduction of sodium intake showed higher dietary self-efficacy. In summary, accurate illness beliefs and perceived benefits positively correlated with dietary self-efficacy for the reduction of sodium intake in the elderly, whereas inaccurate illness beliefs and perceived barriers are negatively correlated.

Academic interest has been drastically increased for the health disparities due to socioeconomic factors. For those who have a chronic illness such as diabetes, various psychosocial barriers related to illness management might affect and aggravate this disparity. This study focused on illness management barriers experienced by people with diabetes, and examined the differences by their Medicaid beneficiary status. The between group differences in illness management barriers, family support and health status were examined as well as the association between illness management barriers and health status. The sample of this study consists of 144 community dwelling adults who have diabetes, recruited from an outpatient diabetes clinic and a community welfare center. Medicaid beneficiaries reported poorer health status, and experienced more illness management barriers compared to their counterparts. Statistically significant differences were observed in barriers due to mental health, financial status, and lack of support. The between group difference in health status remained significant after controlling for the effect of demographic characteristics and illness related factors. Social work practitioners working with this population should address these illness management barriers to reduce socioeconomic health disparity.

1. 서론 o 연구배경 05년 4월에는 생손보 공통의 신체장해분류표 개정시행 및 표준약관개정이 있었으며 05년도까지는 어떤 형태로든지 장애인차별금지법안이 입법화될 것이라고 한다. 따라서 장애인의 보험이 거절되었을 경우 입증책임은 보험회사에 있게 될 것이다. 생명보험업계로서는 공 통 인수지침마련을 통해 민원소지 최소화를 위해 노력했으나 오히려 장애인차별이라는 비난을 받게 되었다. 이에 개정신체장해분류표에 대한 연구 및 언더라이팅적 시각에서의 개선방안 모색이 필요하게 되었다. o 연구방향 신체장해제도는 보험회사 뿐만 아니라 각종 법규 및 정부기관에서 다양하게 운영되고 있다. 이들에 대한 연구 및 특히 보험청약시에 주로 접하게 되는 복지장애(장애인복지법하(下))에 대해 주로 연구하여 이와 개정신체장해분류표를 비교분석 하도록 한다. 그리고 개정신체장해분류표에서 향후에 발생가능한 문제에 대해 업계경험을 토대로 개선점을 강구하도록 한다. 2. 신체장애등급의 이론적 배경 o 신체장애제도의 종류 o 국내법상의 신체장애제도 o 신체장애평가제도 근거법규 o 해외주요국의 신체장애평가제도 3. 우리나라의 장애보장제도 현황 o 국가장애등급과 생명보험 실제지급경험의 연구를 통해 신체장해비교를 통해 장애1급의 주요원인이 질병원인에 있으며 재해원인은 상대적으로 낮은 수준을 보이고 있다. 특히 질병장애의 경우 05년 3월까지 등록된 복지장애에서보다 생명 보험 지급경험에서 훨씬 높은 비율을 나타내고 있음이 05년$1{\sim}5$월 생명보험 장애1급 지급 건의 연구결과 나타났다. 문제는 복지장애와 생명보험약관상의 신체장애의 평가기준이 상이하여 등급간 정도와 신체장해물의 정도의 비교에 표준화된 이론적 근거나 tool이 없다는 것이다. 이에 대해 외국사의 경우에는 장애의 결과보다는 원인질병에 의거하여 그에 따른 후유장애로 나뉘어 인수지침을 두고 있다. o 우리나라의 신체장해 평가방법을 보면 각종 법규나 정부기관에서 사용하는 평가방법을 포함하여 대략 신체장애등급방식과 신체장해율 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 복지장애는 독자적인 신체장애등급방식으로 장애를 평가하고 있으며 생명보험약관은 05넌4월개정시부터 손해보험의 장기보험에서 기(旣)시행중인 신체장해율방식을 쓰고 있으며 이는 미국의 A.M.A법에 근간을 두고 있다. 상호간의 판정기준이 상이한 상황에서 언더라이팅은 장애의 원인은 고려되지 않은 결과물에 해당되는 신체장해율표만 가지고 인수지침을 세우기 어려우므로 A.M.A법에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이다. 또한 손해보험경험에서 이미 문제로 대두되고 있는 한시장해와 기타 제도적 개선방향을 모색해야 할 것이다. 4. 결론 우리나라에서 운영되고 있는 장해는 원인에 대한 고려나 선천성과 후천성의 구별이 없이 운영되고 있다. 또한 신체장해 평가기준이 너무나 다양하게 운영되고 있어서 기초통계축적에도 어려움이 많다. 보험회사의 사회적 책임의 한계도 존재한다. 따라서 장해의 결과보다는 원인에 대한 연구가 더욱 필요할 것이며 이에 대한 국민의 관심 및 공감대형성이 필요할 것이다.

Enuresis is repeated involuntary or intentional voiding of urine into bed or clothes over age 5. Though it would be a self-remitting disorder, it could be serious problem in emotional and socio-adaptational aspects. The author reviewed the enuretic patients of Child & Adolescence psychiatric section in Chungnam National University Hospital during past 3 years. 46(4.9%) of 936 patients were diagnosed as enuresis in DSM-Ⅳ. The author evaluated their comorbidity by the data of diagnostic review made in two psychiatrists, and emotional aspects(self-concept, anxiety, depression) through the self-rating scales (Piers-Harris children’ self concept scales, RCMAS, state-trait anxiety inventory for children, child’s depresson inventory). Thirty(65.2%) of the 46 enuretic patients had additional diagnoses such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, mental retardation, encopresis, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, autism, somatoform disorder, tic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sleep disorder, etc. Sixteen enuretic patients had at least one comorbid disorder. Eleven patients had two, and three patients had more than three. Fourteen of 46 enuretic patients were evaluated through self-rating scales of self-concept, anxiety and depression. But we couldn’t obtain meaningful results. Maybe it was due to the small sample size(N＝14) and the influence of the comorbid disorders. Finally, it was an impressive evidence that there exist many comorbid disorders in enuresis(esp. attention deifict/hyperactive disorder). In emotional aspects, the author thought that further evaluation should be needed for more meaningful results.

We analyzed using logistic to find factors with a mental disorder because logistic is the most efficient way assess risk factors. In this paper, we applied data mining techniques that are logistic, neural network, c5.0, cart and Bayesian network to delirium data. The Bayesian network method was chosen as the best model. When delirium data were applied to the Bayesian network, we determined the risk factors associated with delirium as well as identified the network between the risk factors.
