Objective : The present study had examined the psychiatric symptoms and physical health consequences for the bereaved parents of the high school students who died in the 2014 Sewol ferry accident. Methods : Forty bereaved parents participated in the study. The authors administered self-report questionnaires about the parents' health behaviors and psychiatric symptoms. The authors also conducted laboratory tests to assess the parents' physical health at 18 and 30 months after the accident. Univariate descriptive statistics were performed to report the prevalence and severity of psychiatric symptoms and health-related behaviors. Paired t-test and Mcnemar test were performed to compare the 18-and 30-month findings. Correlation analysis between psychiatric symptoms and laboratory findings were performed to find a relationship between the two variables. Results : At 30 months after the accident, most of the bereaved parents still appeared to suffer from complicated grief (97.5%), post traumatic stress disorder (80%), insomnia (77.5%) and severe depression (62.5%) based on the scores on the Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG), the PTSD Check List-5 (PCL-5), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). One quarter of the bereaved parents reported high-risk drinking, and 47.5% reported increased drinking amount and frequency after the accident. In objective laboratory results, 55% of the bereaved parents were obese as defined by body mass index ${\geq}25$. The parents' mean low-density lipoprotein shows a significant increase over time (118.5 mg/dL at 18 months. vs. 132.5 mg/dL at 30 months. paired t-test t=-4.061, $$p{\leq_-}0.001$$). Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein at 30 months after the accident were in clinically borderline high range. In correlation analysis, triglyceride was positively correlated with ISI. Conclusion : The loss of children in the Sewol ferry accident, a disaster caused by human error, continued to have considerable impact on the victims' parents' mental and physical health 18 and 30 months after the accident. A longitudinal study following the parents' physical health would be necessary to investigate the long-term effects of this traumatic experience on physical health.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review the clinical research trends in the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Korean medicine (KM). Methods: We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Google Scholar and five Korean databases through May 2019, for studies on KM to treat PTSD. Clinical research that conducted KM treatment of PTSD patients were included. Two researchers independently conducted study selection and data extraction process. Results: Totally, eight studies were included in this review. Types of traumatic events that patients experienced included physical violence/threatening, traffic accidents, sexual violence and personal tragic events. KM interventions performed included acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, physical therapy, and KM-based psychotherapy. Treatment duration varied from two days to more than five months. Follow-up began at least one week to three months after the end of treatments. It was reported that the major psychological and/or somatic symptoms of PTSD, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and musculoskeletal pain, subjectively improved, as well as other objective outcomes: Impact Event Scale-Revised Korean version (IES-R-K), Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Hwabyung Symptoms/characters, Electroencephalography (EEG) change, etc. Statistical studies were conducted in three studies only. Outcomes such as Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), BDI, and IES-R-K showed statistically significant improvement after KM treatments. There was no study reporting adverse events during or after the interventions. Conclusions: According to this review, diverse types of KM treatments have been used among PTSD patients in eight studies. The KM treatments effectively improved psychological and somatic symptoms of PTSD patients. However, the lack of high quality research as well as the lack of standardization of KM treatments for PTSD are limitations. Further methodologically robust clinical trials should be performed, and the standardization of KM treatments for PTSD should be sought.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the satisfaction levels and mental health among North Korean defectors over two years. Methods : At the beginning of the study, the subjects were comprised of 300 North Korean defectors registered with a regional adaptation center (the Hana Center) in South Korea. Participants reported self-questionnaires including socio-demographic variables and self-rating scales for satisfaction levels, depression symptoms, trauma-related symptoms, resilience and alcohol use behavior. In the follow up study after two years, 189 North Korean defectors participated in an online survey, responding to the same questionnaires as at baseline. Results : The self-rated scores for satisfaction with one's overall life (p=0.008), sense of autonomy (p=0.001), sense of physical health (p<0.001), and expected life satisfaction five years later (p<0.001) had all decreased significantly at follow-up after two years. Depression symptoms (p<0.01) and trauma-related symptoms (p<0.001) increased significantly over two years, and the resilience score (p<0.01) decreased significantly during the same period. No significant differences in alcohol use behavior (p=0.059) were observed at follow-up. Conclusion : Satisfaction levels among North Korean defectors gradually decreased over the follow-up period, and this may be due to the difficulties encountered in the process of assimilating to daily life in South Korea. Economic, medical, and psychological support is needed for successful assimilation of North Korean defectors.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to precede the acceptance study based on automation steps and user experience that was lacked in the past study on the core technology of autonomous vehicle, ADAS. The first objective was to construct the acceptance model of ADAS technology that is the core technology, and draw factors that affect behavioral intention through user experience-based evaluation by applying driving simulator. The second one was to see the change of factors on automation step of autonomous vehicle through the UX/UA score. Background: The number of vehicles with the introduction of ADAS is increasing, and it caused change of interaction between vehicle and driver as automation is being developed on the particular drive factor. For this reason, it is becoming important to study the technology acceptance on how driver can actively accept giving up some parts of automated drive operation and handing over the authority to vehicle. Method: We organized the study model and items through literature investigation and the scenario according to the 4 stages of automation of autonomous vehicle, and preceded acceptance assessment using driving simulator. Total 68 men and woman were participated in this experiment. Results: We drew results of Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), Perceived Safety (PS), Anxiety (AX), Trust (T) and Affective Satisfaction (AS) as the factors that affect Behavioral Intention (BI). Also the drawn factors shows that UX/UA score has a significant difference statistically according to the automation steps of autonomous vehicle, and UX/UA tends to move up until the stage 2 of automation, and at stage 3 it goes down to the lowest level, and it increases a little or stays steady at stage 4. Conclusion and Application: First, we presented the acceptance model of ADAS that is the core technology of autonomous vehicle, and it could be the basis of the future acceptance study of the ADAS technology as it verifies through user experience-based assessment using driving simulator. Second, it could be helpful to the appropriate ADAS development in the future as drawing the change of factors and predicting the acceptance level according to the automation stages of autonomous vehicle through UX/UA score, and it could also grasp and avoid the problem that affect the acceptance level. It is possible to use these study results as tools to test validity of function before ADAS offering company launches the products. Also it will help to prevent the problems that could be caused when applying the autonomous vehicle technology, and to establish technology that is easily acceptable for drivers, so it will improve safety and convenience of drivers.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the attributes of self-help groups, their antecedents and consequences relating to self-help groups. Methods: We used the Walker and Avant (2010) method using the key word "self-help groups" the Korea Education and Research Information Service (www.riss4u.net), Pubmed, CINAHL and ProQuest for articles on this topic published between January 2000 and March 2013 were searched. Ultimately, 64 domestic and 21 foreign papers were selected for in-depth analysis. Results: The attributes of self-help groups are as follows: 1) members share common experiences and are supportive of each other; 2) members set goals for individual change; 3) groups are self-monitoring; 4) groups learn problem-solving processes through voluntary and active participation; and 5) groups are small and meet regularly. The antecedents of self-help groups are as follows: 1) an intervention by an expert; 2) a diagnosis of their illness; 3) motivation to change individuals' state; and 4) educational desire. The consequences of self-help groups are the relief of symptoms, the improvement of physiological parameters and quality of life, the decrease in depression, stress, and anxiety, the improvement of illness-related knowledge and self-help activity, and a change in beliefs. Conclusion: Self-help groups can be used as an intervention strategy to help people with chronic illness manage their own problems.

본 연구는 저소득 가구의 가족갈등과 가족관계만족도의 변화와 사회경제적 박탈 경험이 이에 미치는 종단적 영향에 대해 살펴봄으로써 사회경제적인 위기 상황에서 저소득 가구 대한 지원방향 설정의 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 한국복지패널의 10차에서 14차에 걸친 5개년 자료를 활용하여 총 803명의 저소득가구의 가구주가 응답한 가족갈등과 가족관계만족도의 종단적 변화를 살펴보았고, 사회경제적 박탈경험이 변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 먼저 저소득가구의 가족갈등은 시간의 변화에 따라 미약한 수준으로 감소하였으며, 가족관계만족도의 변화율은 유의하지 않았다. 사회경제적 박탈을 경험한 가족의 경우, 미경험 가구보다 가족갈등의 초기치가 높았고 변화율은 유의하지 않았으며, 가족관계만족도는 미경험 가구보다 유경험 가구의 초기치가 낮았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 저소득 가구가 사회경제적 박탈을 경험하게 되면 심리적 압박을 느끼게 되고 가족의 불안이 높아지면서 가족갈등이 높고 가족관계만족도가 낮다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 지금과 같은 사회경제적 위기 상황에서 저소득 가구에 대하여 경제적 지원과 사회보장적 지원을 확대하고 이와 더불어 가족이 갈등을 스스로 조절하고 원활하게 문제를 해결하도록 돕는 지원이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

배경: 황토면 침구의 사용이 불면증 환자에 미치는 연구는 보고되지 않았다. 목적: 본 연구에서는 원적외선을 방사하는 황토면 침구를 불면증을 겪는 15명에게 사용하게 한 후에 '삶의 질' 및 '수면의 질'에 어떠한 변화를 일으키는지를 연구하였다. 방법: 실험군에는 황토면 침구 그리고 대조군에는 일반 황색면을 사용하게 한 다음에 대상자들의 'WHO의 삶의 질'에 대한 설문 양식으로 연구하였다. 결과: 전체 삶의 질 평가는 대조군은 사전과 사후의 변화가 유의성이 없었고, 실험군에서는 사전과 사후 간의 변화에는 유의한 차이로 개선되었다. 실험군의 '신체적 변화'는 황토면 침구를 사용하여 유의성이 있게 호전되었다. '수면시간'은 실험군의 실제 수면시간이 5.21시에서 7.2시간으로 유의하게 증가하였고, 수면의 질도 유의성이 있게 증가하였다. '수면의 기간'은 실험군에서 사전보다 사후에 유의하게 길어졌다. 습관적 수면 실험군에서는 사전보다 사용 후에는 유의하게 높아졌다. '수면 방해'는 실험군의 사전보다 사후에는 유의하게 낮아졌다. '수면 약물 이용' 및 '낮시간 실험군'에서는 사용하기 전보다 사용 후에는 유의하게 수면 효과가 개선되었다. '사회성 척도, 환경변화 척도'와 '삶의 질 척도'의 실험군에서는 사전과 사후 간에는 편차가 유의하게 개선되었다. '삶의 질 간'의 상관관계는 실험군에서는 14개의 항목에서 Pearson 상관관계분석에서 유의 확률 p < .05 및 p < .01에서도 상관성이 높게 나타났다. '주간 졸음, 우울증 및 불안 척도 변화'는 실험군에서는 사전과 사후 간에는 유의한 차이로 개선되었다. 예후조사에 의하면 실험에서 황토면 침구사용 중 및 사용 후에 마음과 신체의 편안함을 느끼었고, 수면의 질도 좋았다고 평가하였다. 결론: 수면 및 '삶의 질'에 대한 전체 평가는 일반 황색면을 사용한 대조군에서는 사전과 사후 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 황토면 침구를 사용한 실험군에서는 유의한 차이를 보이었다. 실험군의 전체적인 삶의 질은 황토면 침구를 사용하여 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of the process of the change in cognitive function for women treated with chemotherapy for breast cancer. Methods: There were ten participants in total in this study. Data were gathered utilizing in-depth interviews over 3 times from September 2010 to January 2011. Data were analyzed by employing Strauss and Corbin's (1998) grounded theory methodology. Results: Findings indicate that causal conditions of these results were 'side effects of chemotherapy' and 'menopausal state', including contextual conditions as, 'mental fatigue' and 'anxiety about recurrence'. The core category was identified as 'confronting with unexpected chaos'. Intervening conditions were 'support from other people', 'lack of information on cognitive impairment'. Interaction strategies were 'changing the habit of life', 'making efforts for living life' and 'seeking for medical information'. Consequences of the process were 'physical restriction', 'difficulty in social life', 'disturbed working ability' and 'psychological distress'. Conclusion: The results of this study show that nurses should recognize there is a notable difference between individual patient's contextual conditions and interactive strategies. Furthermore educational information and individualized intervention should be provided to improve cognitive function for women with breast cancer.
