Mental health service facilities implement an effort to meet the increased mental health demands. However, no specific 'mental health expert education program' have been offered yet. This study aimed to develop of the expert education programs which are general programs(GP), and specific programs(SP) for the management of mental health prevention in 3 kinds of facilities, psychosocial rehabilitation centers, homeless facilities, and domestic violence counselling facilities. Data were gathered from the service providers by structured questionnaire, and experts related with mental health by delphi study. We surveyed the management status and present expert programs. Consequently, domains of the education programs were extracted. As results, we identified the type of provider's job & demands for education. Thus, we gained the informations for developing the expert education programs in mental health facilities. GP were composed by 3 domains and 9 programs, and SP were composed by 3 programs each facilities. This study should be helpful in expanding the government educational operations related with mental health prevention areas. Eventually, community mental health will be promoted and socio-economic burdens by mental health problems will be lessened. In addition, it will be a basic evidence for developing specialized programs in a mental health prevention system foundation.

Purpose: To assess levels of mental health among community health practitioners during the COVID-19 outbreak in Korea and associations between practitioner mental health and personal and psychosocial factors. Methods: Data were collected from a convenient sample of 275 community health practitioners using an online questionnaire, which included items on mental health (K-WEMWBS), psychosocial factors (COVID-19 sensitivity, COVID-19 self-confidence, social support, perceived stress), and personal characteristics. Collected data were analyzed using the t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression in SPSS 25.0. Results: Mean mental health score was 51.27±8.47. Multiple linear regression revealed that time spent as a community health practitioner, COVID-19 self-confidence, social support, and perceived stress were significantly associated with mental health. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that comprehensive intervention with emphases on improving COVID-19 self-confidence, social support, and reducing stress is required to improve community health practitioner mental health. The results also indicate a need for educational programs aimed at improving the mental health of young community health practitioners.

사회복지는 개인의 행복과 만족스러운 삶을 이루도록 원조하는 실천학문인 만큼 명확한 정신건강개념 규정은 정신보건 사회복지 영역 뿐 아니라 전체 사회복지실천영역에서도 포괄적으로 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 첫째, Q 방법론을 활용하여 한국인의 정신건강개념을 도출하였다. 그 결과 정신건강 개념에는 자호다(Jahoda)의 19개 영역과 본 연구에서 새롭게 나타난 '영적' 영역과 '자기 안녕감' 영역을 합하여 21개 영역이 나타났고, 각 개인들은 이 개념을 공동체주의형, 합리주의형, 개인주의형, 인본주의형, 신본주의형 등 매우 독립적인 5가지 유형으로 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 연구결과를 통해 사회복지영역에서는 일반인을 위한 정신건강프로그램의 방향성을 적극적 정신건강 개념으로 전환되어야 함을 제시하였다. 이는 사회복지영역에서 한국인의 정신건강개념을 정신질환 예방이나 치료라는 틀 속에 묶어두지 않고 건강한 삶의 성장으로 확대하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 함이다.

Background: Mental health complaints are quite common in health care employees and can have adverse effects on work functioning. The aim of this study was to evaluate an e-mental health (EMH) approach to workers' health surveillance (WHS) for nurses and allied health professionals. Using the waiting-list group of a previous randomized controlled trial with high dropout and low compliance to the intervention, we studied the pre- and posteffects of the EMH approach in a larger group of participants. Methods: We applied a pretest-posttest study design. The WHS consisted of online screening on impaired work functioning and mental health followed by online automatically generated personalized feedback, online tailored advice, and access to self-help EMH interventions. The effects on work functioning, stress, and work-related fatigue after 3 months were analyzed using paired t tests and effect sizes. Results: One hundred and twenty-eight nurses and allied health professionals participated at pretest as well as posttest. Significant improvements were found on work functioning (p = 0.01) and work-related fatigue (p < 0.01). Work functioning had relevantly improved in 30% of participants. A small meaningful effect on stress was found (Cohen d = .23) in the participants who had logged onto an EMH intervention (20%, n = 26). Conclusion: The EMH approach to WHS improves the work functioning and mental health of nurses and allied health professionals. However, because we found small effects and participation in the offered EMH interventions was low, there is ample room for improvement.

Objectives: Individuals' self-reported unmet needs are an important indicator of heath care of their society. Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Cycle 1.2, we examine unmet needs for mental health care in Canada and discuss its implications to health education. Results: The most frequently reported reason for unmet needs was barriers to acceptability issues, which stem primarily from lack of knowledge of mental health, negative attitudes towards mental disorder, and mistrust of mental health professionals. Unmet needs for mental health care appeared an especially serious issue among the young. Also, individuals who reported unmet needs tended to have some ill health behavior such as illicit drug use that could be their coping mechanism. On the other hand, emotional and informational support factors have shown an important mitigating effect on unmet needs. Conclusions: These findings of unmet needs pose a major challenge to health education. To effectively address unmet mental health care needs, it is recommended that the focus of relevant policies and programs should be on enhancing a multi-level mental health education strategy including efforts on individual, environmental and professional level education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to address differences between mental health according to sasang constitution and ego state among college students. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional study were collected by administration of questionnaires eliciting Woo's ego state scale, QSCC II for the sasang constitution classification, and SCL-90-R for mental health to 393 college students. Analysis was performed using IBM SPSS (version 19.0). Results: The Free Child ego and Adapted Child ego differed significantly among sasang types. The ego-gram pattern of So-eum type exhibited the N pattern (Nurturing Parent (NP)>Adapted Child (AC)>Adult (A)>Free Child (FC)>Critical Parent (CP), AC-high type), however, the ego-gram pattern of other constitution types showed the M pattern (NP>FC>A>AC>CP). No statistically significant differences in mental health were observed among sasang types, however, among ego states, AC and CP showed negative correlation with mental health status. Between So-eum type and So-yang type, AC was the factor predicting mental health. Between Tae-eum type and undefined type, AC and CP were factors predicting mental health. Conclusion: These findings suggest that sasang constitution could be an important factor in understanding the ego state and mental health status. We conclude that sasang constitution should be considered in interpretation of mental health status presentation in clients.
