Objectives: We reviewed digital epidemiological studies to characterize how researchers are using digital data by topic domain, study purpose, data source, and analytic method. Methods: We reviewed research articles published within the last decade that used digital data to answer epidemiological research questions. Data were abstracted from these articles using a data collection tool that we developed. Finally, we summarized the characteristics of the digital epidemiological studies. Results: We identified six main topic domains: infectious diseases (58.7%), non-communicable diseases (29.4%), mental health and substance use (8.3%), general population behavior (4.6%), environmental, dietary, and lifestyle (4.6%), and vital status (0.9%). We identified four categories for the study purpose: description (22.9%), exploration (34.9%), explanation (27.5%), and prediction and control (14.7%). We identified eight categories for the data sources: web search query (52.3%), social media posts (31.2%), web portal posts (11.9%), webpage access logs (7.3%), images (7.3%), mobile phone network data (1.8%), global positioning system data (1.8%), and others (2.8%). Of these, 50.5% used correlation analyses, 41.3% regression analyses, 25.6% machine learning, and 19.3% descriptive analyses. Conclusions: Digital data collected for non-epidemiological purposes are being used to study health phenomena in a variety of topic domains. Digital epidemiology requires access to large datasets and advanced analytics. Ensuring open access is clearly at odds with the desire to have as little personal data as possible in these large datasets to protect privacy. Establishment of data cooperatives with restricted access may be a solution to this dilemma.

Purpose: Recently, the number of severely mentally ill patients has been increasing rapidly in Korea, but there are no design guidelines for spatial planning of Korea's acute psychiatric wards. The study aims to clarify the areas and required rooms in Korea's acute psychiatric wards which are important in establishing the design guidelines for Korea's acute psychiatric wards. Methods: This study proposed a structural framework based on the results of investigating and analyzing the acute psychiatric ward guidelines in the UK, Australia, and the U.S. and the areas and the required rooms of the wards stipulated in the basic data for establishing acute psychiatric ward design guidelines in Korea. The design guidelines for overseas acute psychiatric wards are 'Adult Acute Mental Health' in the UK, 'Adult Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit' in the Australia, and 'Specific Requirements for Mental Health Hospitals' in the United States. Results: As a result of investigating and analyzing the design guidelines for overseas acute psychiatric wards, the areas of wards applicable to acute wards in domestic psychiatric wards were access, patient, treatment, support, and employee areas. In addition, the required rooms for each area were defined around major considerations such as visibility, convenience, comfort, security, safety, patient observation, barrier-free design, and privacy protection. Implications: The results of the study will be presented as a structural framework and basic data for establishing design guidelines for Korea's acute psychiatric wards, which is still absent.

본 연구는 심리학에서 바라본 고독과 정신건강에 대한 연구로 현대사회 문제 중 하나로 문헌 연구를 제시하였다. 고독은 심리학적으로 다양한 개념으로 공감돼 왔다. 즉, 고독은 병적인 것으로, 어린 시절의 갈등의 요인으로, 부적응의 표현으로 현재의 경험에 영향을 주는 요인으로 강조되었다. 한편으로는 고독은 상호작용이 없는 객관적 상태의 혼자를 의미한다. 반면에 외로움과 사생활은 주관적 상태의 개념이며 외로움은 타인의 존재가 필요함을 나타낸다. 한편으로 종교적인 단독자는 하나님 앞에서 고독한 존재라 할 수 있다. 인간의 자발적으로 선택하는 고립과 감각적 제한은 외로움을 치료하는 효과가 있다. 그리고 고독은 긍정적 안녕과 건강한 적응력과 관련이 있다. 인간은 외로움을 고독으로 변경하여 내적인 자유를 가지도록 하여야 한다. 즉, 외로움은 고독을 통해서 극복될 수 있다. 또한 긍정적 사고는 부정적 사고와 외로움, 우울 등을 극복할 수 있다.
