This study is to identify perceptions and response degrees of anxiety for each factor, targeting patients for CT test and analyze the relations between factors. It is to provide scientific fundamental data to reduce anxiety by improving awareness of patients about CT test by analyzing relations between variables. The subjects of this study were surveyed in self-writing type, targeting 263 patients for CT test in the department of radiology at three University hospitals from July to September, 2010. This survey was executed once by a structured self-administered survey type. The targeting patients for CT test of anxiety will investigate for affect. Anxiety by each CT test variables depending on CT test-related features showed independent variable is Expense Responsibility, Economic burden, Sufficient explain, Explain agent, Endoscope, Biopsy, Pre treatment, Previous experience, CT side effect experience, Side effect of contrast medium and dependent variable is physical, Hospital staff, Hospital environment, Socioeconomic These used statistics program SPSS (ver. 13.0). Summarizing the above results of this study, awareness of anxiety and response to it in each variable under CT test appeared significant differences in economic burdens, state anxiety, pre-treatment anxiety, exposure anxiety to radiation, and anxiety of side effect. Therefore, pre-treatment before test and pre-training programs on chemical poison of contrast medium and side effect seem to be able to release patients' anxiety level for CT test. Ways to meditate these anxiety variables and reduce degree of anxiety are needed to be researched more and updated. In addition, impact of patients' economic burdens on CT test anxiety is required to be recognized and solved in society level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in social anxiety and stress coping style by the college students' levels of self-efficacy. The convenience sample consisted of 400 college students in six universities. The data were collected from May to June in 2013 using the following instruments: the Self-Efficacy Scale, the Interaction Anxiousness Scale and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data using SPSS 21.0. Self-efficacy was found to have negative relation with social anxiety and positive relation with active coping style while social anxiety was negatively related to active coping style and positively to passive coping style. There were differences in social anxiety and stress coping style in accordance with the level of self-efficacy. The higher group in self-efficacy used more active coping than the lower group. The support and intervention program to increase self-efficacy would be effective in decreasing social anxiety and increasing active coping style among college students.

We designed this study for verifying the differences of causes and individual results of job stress between Koreans in Korea and Chinese in China of a same company. The results in the study are as follow. Significant differences between two groups were identified in job stressors: Koreans showed higher levels than Chinese for factors like inter-group conflicts, supervision/evaluation, job overload, task characteristics, socio-demographic factors, and Chinese showed higher levels than Koreans for factors like job conflicts, job ambiguity, family-related factors. We also identified that levels of stress perceived by individuals as anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms of Koreans are higher than those of Chinese. As to the influence of job stressors on stress level, Koreans show significant results for supervision/evaluation, decision making/responsibility, family-related factors, and Chinese show significant results for family-related factors, social support, socio-demographic factors.

구취에 대한 환자의 주관적 감각은 다양한 심리학적 요소들에 의하여 영향을 받을 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 구취 환자의 심리학적 특징을 살펴보기 위하여, 구취를 주소로 내원한 환자 446명과 일반적인 치과 치료를 위하여 내원한 환자 63명을 대상으로 간이정신진단검사 (SCL-90-R), 구취 설문검사, 구취 측정 검사를 시행하여 분석한 결과 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 남성 구취 환자와 여성 구취 환자의 연령분포는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p<0.001). 남성에서는 20대, 30대, 40대에 고르게 분포한 반면, 여성에서는 20대와 30대에 집중되어 분포하였다. 2. 구취의 인식 유형은 남녀간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (p<0.01). 구취 인식 유형 중 타인에 의한 지적이나 타인의 행동으로 인한 추측 없이 스스로 구취를 인지하는 유형은 여성 구취 환자에서만 관찰되었다. 3. 구취 환자는 대조군에 비하여 강박증, 불안, 적대감, 전체심도지수에서 높은 수치를 보였다 (p<0.05). 4. 여성 구취 환자는 남성 구취 환자에 비하여 강박증(p<0.05), 불안 (p<0.05), 편집증 (p<0.001)에서 높은 수치를 보였다. 5. 남성 구취 환자에서는 표출증상합계를 (p<0.05) 제외한 모든 간이정신진단검사 항목에서 고농도 VSC군과 저농도 VSC군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 여성 구취 환자에서는 저농도 VSC군이 신체화를 제외한 모든 간이정신진단검사 항목에서 고농도 VSC군에 비하여 높은 수치를 보였다 (p<0.05). 6. 여성 구취 환자에서 주관적 구취심도는 강박증, 대인예민성, 불안, 적대감, 공포불안, 전체심도지수, 표출증상심도지수 들과 유의한 상관관계를 보였고 (p<0.05), 주관적 구취불편감은 모든 간이정신진단검사 항목들과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다 (p<0.05).
