  • 공황장애 환자에서 12주간의 escitalopram 약물치료 결과, 공황장애 증상은 관해 상태에 이르렀고, 높은 불안민감도와 삶의 질 저하 및 기능장애가 모두 유의하게 호전되었다. 하지만 공황장애 환자들은 약물치료 후에도 여전히 상대적으로 높은 불안민감도와 삶의 질 저하 및 기능장애를 보여서 이의 회복을 위해서는 장기간의 약물치료가 필요할 수 있겠다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of client-centered art and craft activities on depression and quality of life in stroke clients. Through this, we aim to find a way to reduce depression and improve the quality of life in stroke clients. Methods: Clients diagnosed with stroke were selected as participants for the study. Participants in the experimental group (n=13) and control group (n=14) received general occupational therapy. Clients in the experimental group participated in client-centered art and craft activities, whereas clients in the control group participated in general art and craft activities for 8 weeks. Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) and Stroke Specific Quality of Life(SS-QOL) were used to evaluate the depression and quality of life of the clients before and after the intervention. Results: The experimental group and control group presented significant statistical difference in depression before and after intervention (p<.01; p<.05). The experimental group showed a greater decrease in depression (p<.05) than the control group. Additionally, the experimental and control group displayed significant statistical difference in quality of life (p<.01) before and after intervention. The experimental group showed a more statistically significant improvement in quality of life (p<.01) than the control group. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the significance of client-centered art and craft activities in reducing depression and improving quality of life in clients with stroke. Therefore, it is expected to be useful in clinical settings. Occupational therapy should be provided based on the decision of the clients.

  • Biochar can be obtained by using various types of biomass under an oxygen-limited condition. Biochar can be utilized for various applications such as soil improvement, waste management, growth promotion, and adsorption. Wood vinegar is produced by the process of pyrolysis wood biomass and is used as a growth promoter, for soil improvement, and as a feed additive. When wood vinegar is treated on soil, it acts to control soil pH, improve nutrient availability, and alleviate N2O and NH3 volatilization. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biochar and wood vinegar on the growth of perilla and soil quality. The experiment was conducted by using a Wagner pot (1·5,000 a-1) in a glass greenhouse. The biochar was produced by pyrolysis at 450℃ for 30 minutes using rice husk and rice straw. Wood vinegar was diluted to 1 : 500 (v·v-1) and used in this experiement. In the results of a cultivation experiment, co-application of biochar and wood vinegar enhanced the growth of perilla. In particular, rice husk biochar affected the leaves of the perilla, and rice straw biochar influenced the stems of the perilla. In addition, soil quality after treatment with biochar and wood vinegar applied together was highest compared to other units. Therefore, it is anticipated that co-application of biochar and wood vinegar will be more productive and improve soil quality compared to individual utilization of biochar and wood vinegar.

  • Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influencing factors of oral health-related quality of life in social workers. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 240 social workers in Gwangju by convenience sampling method. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects(age, monthly salary, smoking, alcohol consumption) and systemic health condition(systemic diseases, medication, oral health status, and stress). The factors associated with oral health-related quality of life included skin dryness, eye dryness, lip dryness, and nasal dryness. The subjective dry mouth consisted of 6 questions measured by visual analogue scale(VAS). Cronbach's alpha was 0.868 in the study. The data were analyzed for t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 18.0 program. Results: The oral health-related quality of life in social workers varied by age, oral health status, stress status, and halitosis. The oral health-related quality of life had positive correlations with the subjective perception of dry mouth and whole body dry symptoms. The health status(${\beta}=-0.410$) had the influence on the oral health-related quality of life, nasal dryness(${\beta}=0.230$), age(${\beta}=0.189$), and halitosis (${\beta}=0.162) in order. Conclusions: The oral health-related quality of life was closely related to the health status and nasal dryness. It is necessary to develop the quality of life improvement programs including oral health prevention and care program in the social workers.

  • Purpose: This randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of global postural reeducation to segmental stretching in subjects with neck and shoulder pain. Methods: Sixteen subjects with neck and shoulder pain were randomized into two intervention groups, a global posture reeducation group (n=8) that performed muscle chain stretching, and a segmental stretching group (n=8) that performed conventional static muscle stretching. The intervention program consisted of two 40 minutes individual sessions per week for four weeks. Subjects were evaluated pre-intervention, two-week after intervention and at a four-week follow-up appointment for pain intensity, disability and health-related quality of life. Two-way repeated analysis of variance was used for between-time and between-group comparisons. The significance level was 0.05. Results: Significant pain relief and decreasing discomfort of the neck and shoulder were observed after intervention in both groups, and there was an interaction between time lapse and groups (pain, F=10.31, neck disability, F=25.45, shoulder disability, F=12.82, p<0.05). Quality of life also improved after intervention in both groups. Moreover, the physical components score improved, and a significant interaction was observed between time and groups (F=4.85, p<0.05). However, no significant improvement in mental component score of quality of life and no significant interaction between time and groups were observed (p>0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that a GPR intervention in subjects with neck and shoulder pain induces greater improvement of pain and disability and quality of life than segmental stretching.
