Objectives : We examined quality of life, psychosocial adjustments to illness, changes in sexual functioning, and prevalence of psychiatric disorders in AIDS patients compared to patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB). Methods : Thirty-one men with AIDS and 50 men with CHB were enrolled. The Short-Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12), the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS), and the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire short form (CSFQ-14) were administered. Results on these assessments were compared between the 31 AIDS patients and 50 CHB patients. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSMIV (SCID) was administered to determine the psychiatric diagnosis only for the AIDS patients. Results : The Physical Component Summary score (PCS) was lower in AIDS patients than in CHB patients (p<0.001). In the section examining sexual relationships, AIDS patients exhibited a lower level of adjustment (p<0.05) and had more changes in sexual function (p<0.05) than did CHB patients. Administration of the SCID to AIDS patients indicated that the lifetime prevalence of any psychiatric disorder was 56.7% ; 43.3% for mood disorders, 33.3% for alcohol use disorders, 26.7% for anxiety disorders, and 20% for adjustment disorder. Patients who had experienced any psychiatric disorder had more severe psychosocial distress (p=0.004) and evidenced a lower level of overall psychosocial adjustment (p=0.030) than patients who had not. Conclusion : We showed that AIDS patients have a high prevalence of psychiatric disorders, and that AIDS patients with psychiatric disorders were particularly low in levels of psychosocial adjustment. Thus, careful attention should be given to psychiatric aspects of AIDS patients emphasizing the early diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders.

Sexual dysfunction is a relatively common adverse effect in the use of antidepressants. The sexual side effects may result in a lack of compliance with the prescribed antidepressants. The author reviewed the prevalence and updated treatment for the antidepressant-induced adverse effects focusing on sexual dysfunction. The incidence of sexual dysfunction is reported to exceed more than 50% especially with SSRIs. In order to obtain a quantified baseline and as an ongoing evaluation tool, clinicians may use some of the established questionnaires and validated instruments such as the Arizona Sexual Experience scale and Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire. Clinicians should be aware that delayed ejaculation and orgasm, symptoms most frequently associated with antidepressants, are not usually associated with depression itself. Although many antidotes have been proposed, few have been subjected to double-blind trials. Some evidences have suggested that bupropion and buspiron may be the effective antidotes for SSRI induced sexual dysfunction. Additional trials will be requied to define what role, if any, bupropion and buspiron might have in the treatment of SSRI-induced sexual side effects. The available evidence is rather limited, with only small number of trials assessing each strategy. While further randomized data is awaited, for men with antidepressant induced erectile dysfunction, the addition of sidenafil or tadalafil may appear to be an effective strategy.

Sexual life is one of the most important things for the quality of living, which nobody can ignore. Especially, spinal cord injury is one of the most typical disabilities, which can cause abrupt changes of sexuality. Hence, sexual adjustment and its subordinate problems have to be dealt with among various problems caused by spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study was to comparative sexual interest and adjustment between the married and the unmarried people with SCI. A total of 134 persons who were registered members of SCI organization and admitted rehabilitation unit between February and June 1999 were included in the study. The sample consisted of 69 unmarried and 64 married people with SCI. Participants answered the 15 items concerning sexual interest, sexual adjustment. The results are as follows: 1) The mean score of sexual interest for the unmarried was 16.4. From seven topics related to sexuality, the greatest interest was to cope emotionally with changes in sexual functioning. For the married, mean score of sexual interest was 13.8 and the greatest interest was to help a partner cope emotionally with limitation on sexual dysfunction. There were significant difference sexual interest between two groups (t=3.75, p= .00). 2) Each mean score for sexual adjustment in the married and the unmarried was 20.0, 19.6. There were no significance difference sexual interest between two groups (t=.24, p= .811). However, there was a statistically significant difference of sexual interest. 3) Sexual interests and adjustments are not correlated in case of the unmarried that have r score= .224, while they are corrlated in case of the married that have r= .398. Because the average age of the SCI becomes lower and lower, sexual rehabilitation programs should be given the unmarried as well as the married with SCI. In conclusion, the spinal injured's major concerns about their sexual life are different between the married and the unmarried-the unmarried are interested in practical problems such as methods and techniques to achieve sexual satisfaction and their fertility, while the married give priority to considerations about their spouse. Paying attention to different sexual interest according to marital status, we should make two different sexual rehabilitation programs for each group. One program including support groups with their sposes for the married, the other program to give a chance t o solve problems of sexuality for the unmarried with SCI.

1) 성기능장애 빈도는 정신분열병 환자군이 80%로 대조군 42%에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). 성반응 주기에 따른 장애유형은 성적욕망장애 76%, 발기장애 75%, 발기유지장애 75%, 성적극치감의 질적감소 61%, 지루 50%, 사정시 정액량의 감소 44% 순서로 많았다. 성적극치감 횟수의 감소는 32%로 다른 장애유형에 비해 적었으며, 조루를 호소하는 경우도 15%나 되었다. 2) PRL 및 5-HT 측정치는 환자군에서 $28.5{\pm}20.6ng/ml$, $298.5{\pm}89.1ng/ml$으로서 대조군 $10{\pm}5.6ng/ml$, $169.2{\pm}37.8ng/ml$보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). TST 측정치는 환자군이 $4.3{\pm}1.5ng/ml$, 대조군이 $4.5{\pm}1.2ng/ml$로 양군 모두 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) 성기능장애를 증가시키는 변인은 결혼(미혼), 초발연령, 이병기간, 입원기간, 총약물투여기간 그리고 5-HT 측정치이었다. 특히 5-HT 비정상치군이 정상치군보다 성기능장애가 유의하게 높았다. 그러나 연령, 교육연한, 종교, 경제상태, PRL 및 TST 측정치, 항정신병약물용량, 약물역가, benztropine, ACSE, CGI, BPRS, PANSS, PANSS-CF, MMSE-K 점수와 성기능장애와는 무관하였다. 성기능장애는 정신분열병군에서 높았고, 성기능장애 유형별로는 성적욕망장애와 발기장애가 많았다. 미혼이거나, 초발연령이 높을수록, 질병에 이환된 기간이 길수록, 5-HT 농도가 높을수록 성기능장애가 증가하였다. 비록 혈중 5-HT 농도가 뇌 5-HT 활성을 어느정도 반영하는지는 알 수 없으나, 정신분열병 환자의 일차 병인인 과도한 5-HT 활성으로 인한 직접적인 성기능 억제효과 때문에 장애가 초래한다고 생각된다.

홍삼의 여성성기능 장애 개선과 건강관련 삶의 질 개선 효과를 규명하기 위해 성기능 저하를 호소하는 만 30세 이상 45세 미만의 기혼여성을 대상으로 6주간의 기본 투약기간을 두 번 거친 총 20주 동안의 교차 임상시험을 진행한 결과 대상자들 모두에서 성기능 개선과 일반적 건강수준 향상, 삶의 질 개선 효과가 나타났으나 홍삼과 대조약의 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 특히 대부분의 유효성 평가 항목들이 대상약에 상관없이 1차 투약에서 좀 더 개선되는 양상을 보였고, 홍삼과 대조약의 효과가 크게 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 성욕 (desire)의 경우는 모든 대상자에서 홍삼을 복용한 경우가 대조약을 복용한 경우보다 좀 더 개선되는 양상을 보였으며, 일반적 건강수준과 삶의 질 개선에 있어서는 특히 신체적 기능 (PF)이 정신적 요소보다 홍삼을 복용한 경우에 좀 더 개선되는 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 정서적 반응에 의해 높은 변동을 보일 수 있는 대상 질환의 특성 상대조약의 높은 위약효과에 의해 홍삼의 유의한 효과가 가려졌음에도 불구하고 홍삼의 보기온양 (補氣溫陽)하는 효과가 실제적으로 발휘된 것으로 생각되었으며, 신체적 건강수준 개선과 더불어 홍삼에 일정한 성기능 개선 효과가 있음을 유추할 수 있게 하였다. 따라서 본 연구 방법을 토대로 향후 성기능장애와 같은 기능성 장애에 대한 강한 위약 효과를 고려한 좀 더 많은 수의 대상자를 포함한 장기간의 추가 임상 시험 연구가 이루어진다면 신체적 건강과 삶의 질, 그리고 성기능 개선에 관한 홍삼의 유의한 효과를 규명할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

60세 남자 환자로 좌측 정중 전두엽과 양측 기저절 경색 후 발생한 과잉성욕 증상과 강박 증상을 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 뇌졸중 후에 발생한 운동 기능 장애는 시간이 경과하면서 호전되어 발병 1개월 이내에 거의 정상화된 반면 과잉성욕 증상과 강박 증상은 호전되지 않았다. 환자에게 과잉성욕 증상과 강박 증상을 목표로 fluvoxamine과 perphenazine을 처방하였으며 치료 시작 후 2개월이 경과하면서 환자의 과잉성욕 증상과 강박 증상은 서서히 사라졌다. 이 증례는 기저절-시상전두엽 회로가 성적 행동과 강박 증상의 조절에 있어 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사한다고 할 수 있다. 과잉성욕 증상은 임상에서 간과하기 쉽고 또한 일반적으로 성적 활동에 대한 변화는 환자들 스스로 보고하지 않는 경향이 많다. 따라서 뇌졸중 환자, 특히 정중 전두엽이나 기저절 병변을 동반한 환자들의 경우에는 비록 그 병변이 측두엽 침범이 없거나 Kluver-Bucy syndrome의 전형적인 증상을 보이지 않는다 할 지라도 성욕등 성적 활동에 대한 체계적인 조사가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 과잉성욕 증상과 강박 증상을 함께 가지고 있는 경우 선택적인 세로토닌 재흡수 억제제의 사용이 두 증상 모두를 효과적으로 치료하는 데에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The data were analyzed by using percentage. frequency. $x^2-test$. multiple Response set with SPSS program. The results are as follows: 1. Desired parish nursing contents by parish nurses are: psychological counselling(23.4%) out of private counselling. stress management(21.1 %) out of private health education. Emergency care(14.1%) out of group health education. Blood Pressure check-ups (19.0%) out of Health check ups. home visiting(44.9%) out of patient visiting method. B T. pulse, respiration and blood pressure check(15.0%) in Care to serve in home visiting. spiritual preparation to accept the death(41.7%) in hospice care, advices to choice of medical treatment using guide(50.1%) in introducing and guiding of health care facilities, pray(21.7%) in spiritual care' faith support. 2.

The expectant role from parish nurse is spiritual care faith support(14.1%). patient visiting care(13.2%), hospice care(12.9%), private counseling(12.8%), health check ups (11.1 %), volunteer organization and training out of believer(11.0%), private health education (9.3%), group health education (8.3%). 4. In Necessity of Performing Parish Nursing according to Region, Most(over 95%) responded that nursing program is needed. so there is no significance between regions. In Performing Parish Nursing in their church, Most(92.2%) responded they want to perform program. 5. In case of performing parish nursing, 52% out of the subjects responded they want to participated in parish nursing volunteer's activity, for example. to be in active to be a companion to chat(42.1%), necessity support (25.3%), donation support(25.0%), exercise support(18.2%), vehicles support (9.9%). As a result. in holistic care and spiritual care, the need of parish nursing and the role expectation from parish nurse are very high among korean believers. Therefore, I suggest parish nursing centering around Taegu and Kyungbuk province should be extended to nationwide. For extending parish nursing program. more active advertisement and research is needed. After performing parish nursing program through out the country, further comparative research between regions should be practiced and Korean parish nursing program will be developed and activated.
