본 연구의 목적은 정신건강전문요원의 직무소진 및 정서노동과 정신건강의 관계에서 회복탄력성의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이다. 2014년 국립정신보건교육 연구센터의 학술용역연구에서 수집된 정신건강전문요원(간호, 사회복지, 임상심리의 3개 직역 각 1 2급 자격자) 1,020명의 자료를 분석한 결과, 직무소진과 정서노동 모두 정신건강과 유의한 부적 상관을 보였지만 회복탄력성의 조절효과 분석에서는 직무소진에서만 유의한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 정신건강 종사자들이 직무소진으로 인한 정신건강이 저하될 위험성을 회복탄력성이 완충시켜 줄 수 있음이 시사되었다. 본 연구는 정신건강 서비스 대상자들의 정신건강 뿐만 아니라 정신건강 서비스 제공자인 정신건전문요원들의 정신건강에도 동시에 주의를 기울여야 함을 강조하는 연구로서 정신건강 서비스에 관한 연구가 양측 모두에서 융합적으로 이루어져야 함을 보여준다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 정신건강전문요원을 비롯한 정신건강 분야 종사자들의 정신건강 관리에 관한 방안 등이 추가로 논의되었다.

Objectives : This study evaluated the effectiveness of school-based mental health screening and treatment linkage programs, focusing on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and adolescent depression. Methods : All 11,158 children and adolescents aged 8-14 years in Seoul received a school-based mental health screening, consisting of the Korean versions of the ADHD rating scale and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), for ADHD, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-DS) and the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire-Junior (SIQ-JR), for depression. The high-risk children's and adolescents' diagnoses were confirmed using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV (DISC-IV). Treatment linkage programs were managed by the Seoul Metropolitan Community Mental Health Center (Program 1), the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (Program 2), or the Dongjak District Office of Education (Program 3). We estimated and compared the referral rates of the three programs. Results : Program 1 screened and referred 22.9% of ADHD youths to mental health services, Program 2, 68.8%, and Program 3, 40.0%. Program 1 screened and referred 22.8% of depressed youths to mental health services, Program 2, 53.8%, and Program 3, 88.9%. Key elements for successful screening and referral programs were an effective school/community mental health center/Office of Education network, the parents' financial support and perception of their child's mental health status as being problematic, and the teachers' active engagement. Conclusion : This is the first study investigating the effectiveness of school-based mental health screenings' linkage to treatment for primary and middle school students in Korea. An effective network for community mental health and improvements in parents' and teachers' perceptions regarding mental health are needed for more successful treatment linkage.

빈곤에는 인적자본 및 가족구조 등의 물질적 결핍 뿐 아니라 심리사회적 측면이 주요하게 관련되어 있음이 널리 제기됨에도 불구하고, 국내에서는 이에 대한 관련 연구성과들은 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 주목하여, 본 연구에서는 빈곤층의 심리사회적 측면이 빈곤지위의 결정 및 이의 변화에 어떠한 관련성을 지니는지를 정신건강 변수들을 중심으로 분석하고자 하였다. 분석에서는 한국복지패널 1~4차년도 자료를 활용하여, 우울 및 자아존중감 등의 정신건강 요인과 빈곤지위의 관계를 다양한 측면에서 분석하였는데, 주요 분석결과들은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 빈곤층과 비빈곤층의 정신건강 수준은 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 빈곤층 내부에서도 빈곤이 심각할수록 정신건강이 좋지 못한 것으로 나타나, 빈곤과 정신건강의 부적(-) 관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 빈곤탈출 집단과 빈곤지속 집단의 정신건강 수준도 유의미한 차이를 보여, 정신건강이 빈곤지위 변화와도 밀접한 관련성을 지니고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 빈곤경험 양상은 정신건강에 따라 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었는데, 정신건강수준이 양호하지 못할수록 빈곤 경험율 및 빈곤지속의 경험이 높고, 빈곤경험기간도 긴 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 이들의 빈곤 탈출율은 낮은 반면 빈곤 지속율은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 여타 관련 변수들을 통제한 모델에 대한 분석에서는 정신건강이 빈곤지위 및 빈곤지위 변화에의 주요 결정 요인의 하나로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 빈곤지위 및 이의 변화에 정신건강의 주요한 영향을 보여주는 바로, 우리사회의 빈곤문제에 효과적으로 대처하기 위해서는 물질적 결핍에 대한 지원에만 치중된 정책적 접근에서 벗어나 빈곤층의 정신건강 문제에 대한 적극적인 개입 및 지원이 요청됨을 정책적 함의로 시사하여 준다.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate North Korean refugees' knowledge of mental illnesses and treatments and analyze the factors affecting this knowledge. Methods: Subjects were selected via a snowball sampling method, and the survey outcomes of 152 North Korean refugee participants were analyzed. The factors affecting knowledge of mental illnesses were analyzed via a regression analysis by constructing a multivariate model with mental illness knowledge score as the dependent variable. Results: The North Korean refugees' mental illness scores ranged from 3 to 24 points, with an average score of 13.0. Regarding the factors that influence mental illness knowledge, the subjects with South Korean spouses and those who had spent more time in South Korea had higher knowledge scores. Furthermore, the subjects who considered the mental health of North Korean refugees to be a serious issue revealed lower knowledge scores than those who did not believe it was a serious issue. The subjects who visit psychiatric clinics showed higher knowledge scores than those who do not. The South Korean subjects who had at least a college education exhibited higher scores than did those without advanced education. The subjects who are satisfied with life in South Korea manifested a higher mental illness knowledge score than those who are not. Conclusions: This study is significant as being the first study to ever measure and evaluate the level of North Korean refugees' knowledge of mental illnesses. In addition, the evaluations of North Korean refugees' mental illness knowledge and influencing factors while residing in South Korea created basic data that formed the foundation of an effort to enhance mental health literacy and provide proper mental health services. The results of this study can be utilized to solve mental health problems that might frequently occur during the unification process of North and South Korea in the future.

Research suggests that medical students frequently experience mental health problems such as stress, burnout, and depression, which may, in turn, affect suicidal ideation and behaviors. Since mental health problems profoundly impact academic achievement and professionalism, it is vital to understand factors influencing students' mental health and identify strategies to provide the necessary support. Some relevant influencing factors range from the personal level, including gender, personality traits, perfectionism, and social support, to the environmental level, including the grading system, educational phases, exposure to patients' death, mistreatment, and culture of medicine. In this regard, a comprehensive mental health support system that encompasses environmental interventions, as well as personal-level support, is needed. Simultaneously, proactive approaches that address the improvement of self-care and alleviation of systemic burdens are essential, together with the predominant reactive approaches focusing on problems and deficits. Altogether, we proposed a framework for enhancing mental health constructed by four categories (personal-reactive, environmental-reactive, personal-proactive, environmental-proactive) based on the intervention level and goal of support. All four categories have important implications, and one cannot replace the other, but expanding environmental-proactive support will allow more students to learn how to pursue health independently. We expect that this comprehensive framework for enhancing mental health could expand support systems for medical students' personal and professional development.
