Purpose: This study was conducted to help with the development of an intervention program in efforts to prevent suicidal ideation and suicide. The study also sought to generate strategies for improving health conditions by ascertaining and analyzing potential factors that may influence suicidal ideation according to age group in adults. Methods: Data on general characteristics and suicidal ideation from 447 adults aged between 20 and 59 years, living in Y city, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, were collected based on a structured questionnaire, The data were analyzed using SPSS20.0 statistics program. Results: The results showed that 48.6% of young and older adults have experienced suicidal ideation while 44.5% of middle-aged adults have had suicidal thoughts. With regard to suicidal ideation, young and older adults revealed relevant differences in terms of gender, residential type, degree of stress and subjective physical and mental health, while middle-aged adults revealed relevant differences in terms of marital status and degree of stress. With regard to factors that influence suicidal ideation, it was found that the relevant variables of young and older adults included gender, residential type, depression, degree of stress, and subjective physical and mental health, while for middle-aged adults, relevant variables included marital status and degree of stress.

Purpose: This study aims to compare and analyze the changes in the physical and mental health status of middle-aged women before and after menopause and their quality of life over the past 10 years. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted by using secondary data from the 4th and 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) involving middle-aged women in menopause (N=8,363). Data were analyzed using the complex sample x² test. Results: Compared to 10 years ago, notable changes were observed in general characteristics. These included increase in age, education level, economic activity, and urban residency. In addition, there was an increase in alcohol consumption, a decrease in smoking, and a decline in regular exercise. The study also observed changes in obesity rates and an increase in dyslipidemia and stress levels, along with positive changes across all aspects of quality of life. Conclusion: The results indicate temporal changes in general characteristics, major physical and mental health factors, and the quality of life of middle-aged women in menopause. Thus, it is essential to consider these changes when designing health interventions such as health promotions and education initiatives for middle-aged women experiencing menopause. Further research is necessary for identifying factors influencing the quality of life of middle-aged women in menopause.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine health problems experienced by workers in special employment relationships (WSER) and identify coping strategies used when such problems occur. Methods: This qualitative study used the focus group interview method. Thirteen study participants included five home-visit tutors, five insurance salespersons, and three credit card recruiters. The interviews were conducted from November 2018 through January 2019, with each occupational group interview lasting about 2 hours. Analysis based on phenomenological research was independently performed by two researchers. Results: Most participants had common health problems involving vocal cord symptoms, and stress related to emotional labor and traffic accidents. The unique health problems included cystitis, musculoskeletal, and digestive symptoms in home-visit tutors; reduced vision and hearing in insurance salespersons; and mental distress in credit card recruiters. There was no protection system for their health coverage, and the company emphasized their self-employed status to avoid taking responsibility for them. Twelve participants did not purchase occupational accident insurance owing to both not having adequate information and economic burden concerning premium status. Conclusion: WSER experienced both physical and mental health problems. These problems were caused by their unstable employment status, and the social security system for their coverage being non-functioning.

전 연령층에 걸친 우울증 및 정신질환과 꾸준한 자살률 증가는 정부경쟁력을 크게 떨어뜨리는 심각한 사회문제이다. 정부는 정신건강을 증진시키고 자살을 예방하기 위해 다양한 정책을 실시하고 있으나 시행과정 및 연계 관리 체계 등에서 여러 문제점들이 제기된다. 본 연구는 정신건강분야에 있어 ICT 융합방안의 실태와 방향성을 파악하기 위해 국내외 사례를 살펴보았다. 미국과 영국에서는 ICT를 융합한 원격 정신치료서비스를 지역노인, 소아청소년, 취약계층 등에 제공하고 있다. 국내는 노인자살을 방지하기 위해 독거노인을 대상으로 응급알림 장치를 설치하거나 우울증과 치매 완화를 위한 기술이 개발 중에 있다. 고령화시대에 사회경제적 비용을 줄이고 보편적 복지실현을 위해 ICT 융합 정신건강관리 서비스가 필요하다. 이에 원격정신진료와 관련하여 첨예하게 갈등을 보이는 의료법과 의료기기에 대한 사회적 합의, 생애전주기에 걸쳐 이용자의 정신적 특성을 고려한 효과성 연구, 인구 밀집도와 의료접근성이 낮은 지역 중심의 특화된 정책 등이 제고되어져야한다.

본 연구는 성인당뇨병 환자들을 대상으로 의료급여수급여부에 따라 건강수준 및 질병관리 장애요인에 차이가 나타나는지를 분석하고 질병관리 장애요인이 건강수준에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 자료수집은 서울의 종합병원 당뇨병클리닉 및 지역사회 복지기관에서 편의표집한 55세이상 성인당뇨병 환자 144명을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 분석결과, 의료급여환자가 건강보험환자에 비하여 건강수준이 더 나쁘다고 인식하고 있었으며, 질병관리 장애요인을 더 많이 경험하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 건강보험환자와 의료급여환자간 건강수준의 차이는 인구학적 요인 및 질병관련 특성들을 통제한 이후에도 유의하였다.
