Since the early 20th century, along with the interest and development of alternative psychotherapy, the field of art therapy has also been developed and expanded. In particular, the recent development of technology and the untact era brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic is accelerating the development of new digital art therapy contents. Among them, the hot interest in virtual reality is raising expectations and questions about the effectiveness of psychotherapy given by new media beyond traditional art therapy. In this study, the characteristics of VRAT (Virtual Reality Art Therapy) content therapeutic factors were investigated through qualitative literature analysis based on the conceptual framework and therapeutic components of ETC (Expressive Therapies Continumm), an integrated art therapy theory. As a result of the study, VRAT contents showed mostly therapeutic factors in the left hemisphere that triggered the user's dynamic, perceptual, and cognitive factors, and the therapeutic factors in the right hemisphere, which focused on sensory, emotional, and symbolic factors, were relatively few. The reason seems to be due to the nature of the experimental stage, the absence of active intervention by the therapist and long-term session composition, and the fear, clumsiness, and unfamiliarity of users about VRAT in addition to the characteristics and technical limitations of the VRAT medium. The limitations of the study include the small number of documents to be analyzed and the insufficient form of current VRAT to be called art therapy. It is expected that the characteristics of the therapeutic factors of VRAT content media and environment derived as a result of this study will be usefully used for the appropriate development of VRAT content in the future.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between psychosocial factors and therapeutic flow in stroke patients and identify the factors influencing therapeutic flow. Total 168 stroke patients from 15 hospitals were measure for depression, stress, self-efficacy, rehabilitation motivation and therapeutic flow. Factors that affect the therapeutic flow correlation as s result of negatively correlated with depression(r=-.349, p<.001), stress(r=-.290, p<.001), self-efficacy(r=.528, p<.001), rehabilitation motivation(r=.186, p<.05) was found in the positively correlated. Finally the effect on therapeutic flow in stroke patients variables affecting self-efficacy(${\beta}=.443$, p<.001) and depression(${\beta}=-.155$, p<.05) were the order of analysis. These result demonstrate that the therapeutic flow of storke patients was a significant correlation on psychosocial factors, future study will continue to be needed.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess prospectively the clinical outcome of nonsurgical endodontic treatment and identify patient- and tooth-related factors, rather than treatment-related factors, that were the best predictors of this outcome. Materials and Methods: The inception cohort comprised 441 teeth (320 patients) and 175 teeth (123 patients) were followed up for 1-2 years. Age, gender, presence of medical disease, number of canals, previous endodontic treatment, presence of sensitivity and pain, pulp vitality, swelling or sinus tract of pulpal origin on the gingiva, periapical radiolucency and tendency of unilateral bite on the affected tooth were recorded at treatment start. Results: The outcome was classified on the basis of periapical radiolucency as healed or non healed. The overall healed rate in these cases, including nonsurgical retreatment, was 81.1%. Four tooth-related factors had a negative impact in the bivariate analysis: previous endodontic treatment, necrotic pulp, preoperative gingival swelling or sinus tract of pulpal origin, and preoperative periapical radiolucency. Stepwise logistic regression analysis including patient-, tooth-related factors and level of the root canal filling as a treatment-related factor showed that preoperative gingival lesion (odds ratio [OR]: 4.4; p = 0.005), preoperative periapical radiolucency (OR: 3.6; p = 0.011), and $\leq$ 1-2 mm under root filling length (OR: 9.6; p = 0.012) were significant predictors of failure. Conclusions: A preoperative gingival lesion of pulpal origin can influence the outcome of nonsurgical endodontic treatment in addition to preoperative periapical radiolucency.

In this study, Systematic review and meta-analysis using the correlation coefficients was carried out to integrate precedent studies on factors affecting domestic occupational therapists' job stress. It aims at providing basic information resources of preventing and reducing stress of occupational therapists and effective counter-measurement to improve quality of occupational therapy and to establish efficient human resource management policy. Systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on eight thesis proven relevant to selection criteria in order to figure out correlation coefficients value by total, and factors correlation coefficients value. Also homogeneity test and publication bias test was performed too. The total correlation coefficients value of occupational therapists was .30 which was statistically significant. As to job stress factors, the organization related factor showed the highest correlation of coefficiency, followed by factors other than the organization related, physical environment, job related factor and personal factor. This research result can be used as a reference to prevent and reduce job stress of occupational therapists and to develop an effective measurement scheme.

This study is designed to find out clinical factors and the effects of individual art therapy for workers involved in industrial accident. From January 2017 to July 2019, 10 industrially injured workers were individually subjected to 11 art therapy sessions, and a multidimensional psychological test S type was used to examine changes in clinical factors before and after individual art therapy. The results showed that the average of the five clinical factors ranges from 2.80 to 4.20, indicating that the psychological pain of workers injured was significant. As a result of bivariate correlation analysis, it was confirmed that meaningful correlation existed within the statistical scope of all factors. As for the difference in the results of multidimensional psychological tests before and after art therapy, out of the five clinical factors, the Z values of depressed, anger and anxiety were -2.405(p=.016), -2.148 (p=.032) and -2.102 (p=.036), to confirm that the depressed, anger and anxiety of the participants have eased somewhat after performing individual art therapy.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 사회심리적 간호현상을 밝힘에 있다. 이를 위한 자료는9명의 임상경험이 많은 병원 간호사들을 심층면담하여 수집하였으며, 분석은 해석학적 현상학과 근거 이론 방법에서 사용하는 계속비교 분석 방법을 이용하였다. 사회심리적 간호는 ‘정보제공’, ‘위로’, ‘상담’, ‘지도’의 네가지 범주로 구분되었다. 이 중에서 정보제공이 가장 많이 사용되었고 중요하게 여겨 진 반면, 상담과 지도는 흔히 사용되지 않았다. 이는 상담과 지도는 고도의 의사소통 기술, 인간관계에 대한 이해, 그리고 타인에 대한 감성등이 요구되었기 때문이다. 사회심리적 간호제공에 방해를 주는 요인도 밝혀졌다. 첫째, 가족이나 보호자들의 상주로 인해 간호사들이 사회심리적 간호의 임을 이들에게 떠넘기는 경향이 있었다. 둘째, 간호사의 특성, 즉 치료적 인간관계를 확립할 수 있는 간호사의 능력부족이 방해요인이었다. 셋째, 신체적 간호만을 중시하고 높은 간호사대 환자 비율을 가진 병원 시스템이 방해요인이었다. 넷째, 조밀한 병상등의 병원환경도 해요인으로 나타났다. 사회심리적 간호는 간호사-환자-보호자 관계를 치료적으로 형성 유지할 수 있는 간호사의 능력에 따라 결정되었기 때문에 이에 대한 분석을 계속하였으며, 치료적 관계형성과 유지에 영향을 주는 요인은 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 간호사의 기술적, 신체적 간호의 유능성이 치료적 관계형성에 필요하였다. 둘째, 환자 및 보호자와 신뢰관계를 구축할 수 있는 능력이 필요하였다. 셋째, 환자의 요구에 따르는 역할을 제대로 수행할 수는 능력이 필요하였다. 즉, 치료적 관계형성은 환자와의 신뢰형성만으로는 부족하며, 환자와 보호자의 요구에 따르는 역할, 즉 정보제공자, 위로자, 상담자, 지도자의 역할까지도 수행할 수 있어야 함을 의미한다. 이 외에도, 간호사들이 치료적 관계를 형성하고 유지하기 위하여 사용한 대책들을 제시하고 논의하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 사회심리적 간호의 범주, 방해요인, 촉진요인 등을 설명하고 기술하였기에, 우리나라의 간호사들이 사회심리적 간호를 위해 어떠한 일들을 주로 수행하며, 어떻게 환자 및 보호자들과 상호작용하면서 간호중재를 펴나가는가를 이해하는데 도움을 주리라 여겨진다.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors that affect the optimal selection of rehabilitation therapy and explore a processing model of rehabilitation decision-making for parents of children with cerebral palsy. A ground theory of Strauss and Corbin(1988)was used. Thus, collecting data was classified into open coding 140 concepts, 29 sub-categories and 8 categories. As a result of analysis, we identified that the main phenomenon was 'finding optimal therapy in trial and error' and parents experienced 6 stages including 'embarrassment', 'confusion', 'maximization', 'wandering', 'strategy', and 'balance'. Furthermore, 'rehabilitation-daily life balance' was a key category for continuation of treatment. This qualitative study discribed factors influencing determination of treatment and its continuation, and suggested a processing model of parents' decision- making for rehabilitation of their children.

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting the drop-out from the domestic violence offenders' treatment group programs in Korea, on the assumption that it would be an important challenge to prevent the domestic violence offenders from dropping out from their treatment group programs in order to protect the victim women and improve effectiveness of the programs. For this purpose, the researchers sampled a total of 280 domestic violence offenders who had participated in the domestic violence offenders' treatment programs operated by 65 domestic violence counselling organizations throughout the nation. As a result, it was found that 159(56.8%) out of the 280 offenders had completed the programs, while 121(43.2%) had dropped out from the programs. As a consequence of comparing the two groups, it was disclosed that they differed significantly in terms of cohabitation with spouse and attitude toward sex role. As a result of the logistic regression analysis for the factors affecting the drop outs from the treatment group program, it was found the significant factors were employment, path of being referred to the program and attitude toward sex role.

The purpose of this study was to explore the cultural perspectives and experiences relating to insulin therapy among the diabetes. The authors conducted four semi-structured focus groups and individual interviews with 19 adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes, focusing on the personal experiences and thoughts regarding insulin therapy. Patients' perspectives and experiences relating to taking insulin formed three categories of themes: preoccupations about insulin, barriers to taking insulin, and benefits to taking insulin. The theme for preoccupations about insulin was "vague fear," while the theme of barriers to taking insulin were "worrisome insulin-related issues", "ambivalent feelings (trust/mistrust) about healthcare providers," "dependent life," "feeling about supporters(family, friends, and religion)," "inconvenience," "regret about the past," and "embarrassment." The theme of benefits to taking insulin were "recognition" and "physical recovery and confidence in regulating blood glucose". Based on this study, patients' feelings about their insulin should be respected by healthcare providers.
