The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress and stress-ring through iris analysis of the subjects from random selection of 150 adults living in G. The study was performed from March 2014 to October 2014, through iris photography and self-filling questionnaires. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS ver. 20.0 program. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the stress-ring according to the subjects' age and occupation(p<.05). In addition, the correlation between stress-ring and stress was observed through the iris analysis(r=.709, p<.001). Based on the results of this study, iris analysis in clinical setting is thought to prove beneficial for preventative treatment through stress prediction and early diagnosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job stress and coping style in college students. Participants were 314 students in a college. Data were collected using a self administered questionnaire. The survey was conducted from May 02, 2018 to May 28, 2018. There were statistically significant correlations between personality stress, family environmental stress, academic stress, school environment stress and emotion - centered coping style among sub - variables of job stress, Job anxiety stress was significantly correlated with social support seeking and emotion - centered coping style. Since college students' emotional stress coping style is related to depressive emotional and physical health problems, it is necessary to provide a psychological treatment program for early detection and coping with psychological support services, and a mixed service such as education, lecture, and camp. In addition, it is thought that strategic action skill training (plan, method, and technology) is needed to change from emotion - centered coping style to problem - solving style.

The purpose of this study was to identify the emotional and stress factors of the stroke victims living in the community and to investigate the effect of these factors on the level of social participation. Data collection collected data on the level of emotional awareness, stress, and social participation in welfare centers, public health centers, and stroke disabled people using community services. The level of social participation according to general characteristics was analyzed by descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA. Emotional factors, stress factors, and social participation levels were analyzed by pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. As a result, there were no statistically significant factors in the sub-domains of emotional factors that affect social participation performance and satisfaction. In the sub-areas of stress factors, personal internal stress and interpersonal stress were statistically significant variables. The explanatory power showed social participation accomplishment was 34% and satisfaction was 33%. Therefore, various approaches should be made considering stressful factors to achieve rehabilitation into the local community, and additional research is needed to identify psychosocial variables that affect social participation.

In psychodynamic therapy, trauma related symptoms are considered as an attempt to overcome the traumatic experiences. Therefore, psychodynamic psychotherapy regards the symptom not as a patient's defect but as an adaptive reaction. In contrast to other therapies, psychodynamic theory places heavy emphasis on the understanding and resolution of the patient's symptoms. In addition, transference is a distinctive feature of this theory, which plays a significant role of reflecting the realistic evaluation on the therapist's characteristics, and in guaranteeing the therapeutic alliance. The psychodynamic therapist inducts meaning from the patient's unconscious mind. The therapist's task is to help the patient to better understand defense mechanisms guide their management of experiences and reactions, and facilitate a better understanding of their personal experiences.

본 연구는 예술심리치료 및 심상유도의 접근을 통해 영상치료로서의 시각적, 청각적 표현 범위와 치료요소를 찾는데 목적을 두고 있다. 현재 인간의 사회 활동 중에 생기는 정신적 육체적 스트레스를 예방 및 해소하기 위해 이루어지는 치료 활동 중 영상을 이용한 심리치료의 노력이 다방면으로 행해지고 있다. 치료의 형태는 주로 예술심리치료에 속하는 이미지와 기능음악, 클래식 등을 결합한 영상과 음향의 복합적 활용 방식이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 이는 치료적 요소에 초점을 두고 체계적인 제작이 되지 앉아 심리치료의 한계를 드러내고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 먼저 기존의 병원, 테라피 공간 및 공공장소에서 일반인을 대상으로 행해지고 있는 영상심리치료의 현황을 파악하고, 행해지는 치료 형태 분류를 통해 색채.미술심리치료에서 사용되어지는 이미지 활용과 음악치료 기법 중 GIM(Guided Imagery and music: 음악과 심상유도) 활용을 중심으로 일반인을 대상으로 하여 실험연구를 진행하였다. 실험 대상물은 영상이미지와 음향의 두 가지 자극이 복합되어 혹은 단일의 자극으로 주어지는 경우를 구분하여 정서적 반응을 조사하고, 전반적인 치료영상에 대한 선호도 조사를 통해 긍정적 정서를 불러일으키는 이미지 및 음향 요소를 도출한다. 이는 향후 영상심리치료의 체계적인 가이드라인 제작과 평가 척도 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있다.

Stresses from desolate urban environments cause illnesses and worsen health conditions of urban residents, while natural environments have a positive influence on human. Natural healing programs such as forest therapy and horticultural therapy can be differentiated by the characteristic of activity space. However, previous studies of healing programs have focused on either forest therapy or horticulture therapy and there is a limit to comprehending the effects of adopting and connecting various healing programs. This study compares and analyzes the physiological and psychological effects of forest therapy and horticultural therapy to identify the effects and differences by types of healing programs. The before and after effects of horticultural therapy and forest therapy are measured by experiment and survey for 5 days with 5 subjects in each program. For physiological reaction, blood pressure, pulse, and cortisol levels are measured and the profile of moods states(POMS) is used to measure psychological reaction. Collected data are analyzed with the analysis of variance(ANOVA) and Paired-Sample T-test in SPSS 18.0. The results of this study are as follows: 1) forest therapy and horticultural therapy show positive effects in physiological and physiological aspects, 2) forest therapy is more effective than horticultural therapy in physiological relaxation and stress mitigation, 3) horticultural therapy has a tendency to alleviate depression more effectively than forest therapy. In conclusion, this study contributes to providing fundamental information for the development of healing programs and design guidelines for healing spaces through identifying the characteristics of each healing program.

To evaluate the effect of horticultural therapy (HT) on the emotional improvement of depressed patients, computer-based heart rate variability (HRV) was compared with self-report scale (SRS) known as existing subjective evaluation method. SRS included four test areas: mental stress scale (MSS), physical stress scale (PSS), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), and Beck depression inventory (BDI). HRV was itemized into four parameters: standard deviation of the N-N intervals (SDNN), square root of mean squared difference of successive N-N intervals (RMSSD), total power (TP), and low-frequency/high-frequency ratio (LF/HF ratio). Thirty patients with depression at the same mental hospital participated in this study. 15 patients of the treatment group received HT once a week for three months, but the control group did not during the same period. As a result, the emotional improvement in treatment group was clearly identified through HRV as well as SRS. The significant difference was shown at three test areas (MSS, BAI, and BDI, $p$ < 0.001) in SRS and at one parameter (total power, $p$ < 0.05) in HRV. There was noticeable increase in SDNN, RMSSD, and LF/HF ratio in treatment group after HT activity, but no significant difference. Although all parameters of HRV did not show significance, the possibility of HRV as an objective evaluation method to HT was recognized in this study. These results also implied that HT was efficient in the mental and physical regeneration of the depressed patients in both subjective and objective evaluation methods.

As an aging population is increasing, more elderly people are exposed to traumatic stress. Although this issue has received more attention in some literature, it is clear that numerous questions exist in aftermath of trauma exposure in elderly people. In case of Korean elderly suffers, traumatic experience includes the Korean war, military dictatorship and violent demonstration. Studies regarding elderly PTSD is not active and a lot of patients are not still engaged in treatment. We suggest that concerns that are unique to this population are necessary.
