Backgrounds : Depression has been prevalent in women and maintaining optimal glycemic control is an important goal of diabetes management. Although depression is common in adults with diabetes, its relationship to glycemic control remains unclear, espacilly in Korean women. The current study examined the relationship of depressive symptomatology with glycemic control in Korean women. Methods : Beck depression inventory (BDI), $HbA_{1c}$ as an index of long-term glycemic control, fasting glucose level and body mass index (BMI) were measured in sample of 4,567 women of whom 4.7%, 216 women had diabetes, and the relationship between depression and glycemic control was analyzed. BDI Scores of 16 and above is a cut off point to indicate possible clinical depression. Results The frequency of depressed women (p<0.001) and the mean score of BDI (p<0.001) were significantly higher in diabetic women. The mean level of $HbA_{1c}$ (p<0.01) and fasting glucose (p<0.05) were higher in depressed women. There was a graded relationship between the percentile of depressed women and a degree of glycemic control impairment (p=0.001). Conclusion : The current study found the relationship of depressive symptomatology with glycemic control in Korean women. This relationship may be mediated by decreased self-care behaviors or by neurobiological dysregulation. Improving identification and treatment of depression in women with diabetes might have favorable effects on diabetic outcomes.

Objectives: This study examined the changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms in the parents of Korean adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) after participating in the Korean version of the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills for Young Adults (PEERS^® -YA-K). Methods: Forty-six parents were enrolled (mean age 54.7 years; 22 fathers and 24 mothers), of whom 27 participated in the PEERS^® - YA-K as social coaches. Participants completed self-report scales, including the Test of Young Adult Social Skills Knowledge (TYASSK), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Symptom Check-List-90-R (SCL-90-R). The scales were administered three times: before and after the 16-week program and 4 months after the program ended. Differences between participant variables at pretreatment, post-treatment, and follow-up were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests. Results: Participants showed a significant improvement in their social skills knowledge (TYASSK) (p<0.01). There was a significant improvement in the BAI and BDI scores of parents with severe depressive and anxiety symptoms at the baseline (p<0.05). Paternal paranoia and maternal hostility results also significantly improved on the SCL-90-R. Conclusion: This study suggests that PEERS^® -YA-K can reduce parental anxiety and depressive symptoms.
