Objectives The eye movement (EM) has been reported to play a role in enhancing the retrieval of episodic memories and reducing effects of fearful episodes in the past and worries for the futures. However, it is still unclear in the mechanism of EM in normal subjects. We examined the horizontal eye movement (HEM) effect using an aiding apparatus on mental health indices including negative and positive psychological factors, and psychophysiological measures such as heart rate variability and quantitative electroencepaholography (qEEG) in healthy subjects. Methods Twenty eight healthy subjects were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups : active HEM group and control group. The active HEM group conducted the HEM training with usual stress management audio-intervention using the apparatus inducing eye movement once a day for 14 days. The control group also conducted the same training once a day for 14 days, however, the saccadic eye movement was not included in this training. Psychological measurements, neurocognitive function tests, heart rate variability measurement and qEEG were conducted before and after the training in both groups. Results In the active HEM group, sleep status using Sleep Quality Scale (SQS) positive factors significantly increased after the training. By contrast, scores on the negative items of Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS), and negative items of the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) were significantly decreased after the training. The percentage of delta amplitude (1-3 Hz) in qEEG significantly decreased after the HEM training. The percentage of alpha amplitude (8-12 Hz) significantly increased after HEM training. The change of delta amplitude in the active HEM group was positively correlated with the change of sleep satisfaction of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the change of alpha amplitude was negatively correlated with depression of VAS, anxiety of VAS and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Conclusions The HEM training improved sleep quality and well-being, and sense of optimism. The HEM training also increased alpha amplitude and decreased delta amplitude in qEEG. The qEEG changes were well correlated with subjective improvement of mental health indices in healthy subjects. These results suggest some evidences that HEM training using the apparatus that induces EM would be helpful in improving subjective mental health in healthy subjects. Further study with larger samples size would be needed.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence rate of depression and the associated factors affecting the depression among the elderly beneficiaries of the national basic livelihood scheme. Methods: From the beneficiaries of the "visiting health care program" in a city the beneficiaries (aged 65 years or older) of the national basic livelihood scheme were selected. A total of 677 subjects were included in the study and hence for data analyses. Results: The observed prevalence rate of depression was 80.5% (mild depression was 60.2%, and severe depression was 20.3%). The factors influencing depression were indicative of subjective health status, walking exercise, hypertension, and diabetes. Conclusion: On the basis of our study results, as a strategy to reduce the prevalence rate of depression among the elderly concerned, we are of the opinion that it is very much necessary to motivate them to practice continuous and regular walking exercises in easily accessible places by mobilizing community resources such as visiting nurses and volunteers. Such efforts may not only immediately reduce the morbidity rate of depression among the low-income elderly, but also, in the long run, prevent suicides and contribute to improving their mental health status to an appreciable extent.

Objectives: Economic hardship has a serious impact on adolescents' mental health. The financial impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was more severe for low-income families, and this also impacted adolescents. This study aimed to examine the associations of economic deterioration (ED) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and low socioeconomic status (SES) with adolescents' suicidal behaviors. Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2020 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, which included 54 948 middle and high school students. Odds ratios (ORs) of suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts related to ED and SES were calculated using multivariable logistic regression. We calculated relative excess risks due to interaction to assess additive interactions. Results: The ORs for suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts related to combined severe ED and low SES were 3.64 (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.13 to 4.23), 3.88 (95% CI, 3.09 to 4.88), and 4.27 (95% CI, 3.21 to 5.69), respectively. Conclusions: ED and low SES were significantly associated with suicidal behaviors in adolescents. Although no significant additive interaction was found, the ORs related to suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempts were highest among adolescents from low-income families with severe ED. Special attention is needed for this group, considering the increased impact of economic inequality due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

필자(筆者)는 여러 해째 간찰(簡札)를 대상으로 일련(一連)의 국어학적(國語學的) 연구(硏究)를 진행하고 있으며 이 연구(硏究)는 그 일환(一環)으로서 [안부인사(안부인사(安否人事))]의 유형화(類型化)를 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 근대국어(近代國語) 시기(時期)(16세기(世紀)-19세기(世紀))의 한문간찰(漢文簡札)와 한글간찰(簡札)를 대상으로 [안부인사(安否人事)]를 형식적(形式的) 유형(유형(類型))와 의미적(意味的) 유형(類型)로 나누어 분석(分析)하였다. [안부인사(安否人事)]의 형식적(形式的) 유형(類型)는 정치여부(定置與否), 생략여부(省略與否), 기상여부(寄狀與否), 존비여부(尊卑與否)를 기준으로 나눌 수 있다. 정치여부(定置與否)를 제1기준으로, 생략여부(省略與否)를 제2기준으로 삼아 다섯 가지로 유형화하였다. [안부인사(安否人事)]의 전형성(典型性)이 가장 잘 드러난 정치형(定置型)이면서 완성형(完成型)을 제(第)1유형(類型)로 삼았다. 정치형(定置型)이면서 자기안부생략형(自己安否省略型)을 제(第)2유형(類型)으로, 정치형(定置型)이면서 상대안부생략형(相對安否省略型)을 제(第)3유형(類型)으로, 정치형(定置型)이면서 안부인사생략형(安否人事省略型)을 제(第)4유형(類型)로 삼았다. [안부인사(安否人事)]에서 破格이 가장 심한 도치형(倒置型)을 제(第)5유형(類型)로 삼았다. 第1유형(類型)은 [상대안부(相對安否)]가 [자기안부(自己安否)]에 선행(先行)하는 정치형(定置型)이면서 의미요소(意味要素)가 온전한 완성형(完成型)을 가리킨다. 이 유형은 [안부인사(安否人事)]의 모든 구성요소(構成要素)를 갖췄다는 점에서 가장 전형적(典型的)이며 규범적(規範的)이라 할 수 있다. 제(第)2유형(類型)은 [안부인사(安否人事)]가 [상대안부(相對安否)]로만 이루어진 것이다. 정형성(定型性)에서는 제(第)1유형(類型)보다 덜하지만 출현빈도(出現頻度)에서는 큰 차이가 없는 유형이다. [상대안부(相對安否)]를 충실히 묻되, [자기안부(自己安否)]는 생략하는 것이 예의에 크게 어긋나지 않으면서 간찰을 쉽게 쓸 수 있기 때문에 활용된다. 제(第)3유형(類型)은 [상대안부(相對安否)+자기안부(自己安否)]의 구성을 보이는 정치형(定置型)이지만 [상대안부(相對安否)]가 생략된 유형을 가리킨다. 제(第)4유형(類型)은 [상대안부(相對安否)+자기안부(自己安否)]의 구성을 보이는 정치형(定置型)이지만 [안부인사(安否人事)] 전체가 생략된 유형이다. 이 유형은 [안부인사(安否人事)]자체를 완전히 생략한 경우와 '제번(除煩)'과 같은 상투적인 표현이 [안부인사(安否人事)]를 대신하는 경우로 나뉜다. 제(第)5유형(類型)은 정치형(定置型)과 달리 [자기안부(自己安否)+상대안부(相對安否)]의 구성을 보이는 도치형(倒置型)이다. 이 유형은 정형성(定型性)에서 파격(破格)이 가장 심한 유형으로 실예(實例)도 아주 드물다. [자기안부(自己安否)]를 앞세우고 나중에 체면치레로 [상대안부(相對安否)]를 묻는 것은 예의에 어긋나기 때문이다. 이 외에 [안부인사(安否人事)] 유형을 [상대안부(相對安否)]와 [자기안부(自己安否)]가 직접 연결된 직접형(直接型)과 [事緣]으로 분리된 간접형(間接型)으로 대별(大別)하여 세분할 수도 있다. [안부인사(安否人事)]의 의미적(意味的) 유형(類型)은 기상여부(寄狀與否), 완급여부(緩急與否), 친밀여부(親密與否), 격조여부(隔阻與否)를 기준으로 나눌 수 있다. 기상(寄狀)의 경우 [안부인사(安否人事)]는 [상대안부(相對安否)(시후(時候)+문안(問安)+심경(心境))+자기안부(自己安否)(상황(狀況)+안부(安否)+심경(心境))]의 구성을 보인다. [상대안부(相對安否)]에서 [시후(時候)]는 [계절(季節)] 정보와 [기상(氣象)(날씨)] 정보로 세분(細分)할 수 있고, [심경(心境)] 또한 수신자(受信者)의 [가족안부([家族安否) 심경(心境)]과 [개인안부(個人安否) 심경(心境)]으로 나뉜다. [자기안부(自己安否)]에서 [상황(狀況)]은 수신자(受信者)의 종래 상황인 [근황(近況)]과 수신자(受信者)의 현재 상황인 [현황(現況)]으로 나뉘며 [문안(問安)] 또한 수신자(受信者)의 [가족문안(家族問安)]와 [개인문안(個人問安)]으로, [안부(安否)]는 [가족안부(家族安否)]와 [개인안부(個人安否)]로 세분(細分)할 수 있다. 이처럼 [문안(問安)]이나 [안부(安否)]가 [가족(家族)]과 [개인(個人)] 차원에서 짝을 이루어 쓰일때가 많은데 부모(父母)나 조부모(祖父母)를 모시고 사는 층층시하(層層侍下)의 대가족제도(大家族制度)에서 비롯한 현상이라 할 수 있다. 답상(答狀)의 경우 [안부인사(安否人事)]는 [상대안부(相對安否)(수신(受信)+안부(安否)+심경(心境))+자기안부(自己安否)(상황(狀況)+안부(安否)+심경(心境))]의 구성을 보며 [상대안부(相對安否)]에서만 의미구성이 기상(寄狀)과 차이가 있다. [상대안부(相對安否)]에서 [수신(受信)]은 직접 간찰을 받는 [서신(書信)]과 사람들 통해 소식을 전해 듣는 [전언(傳言)]으로 나뉘며 [안부(安否)]는 [가족안부(家族安否)]와 [개인안부(個人安否)]로, [심경(心境)] 역시 [가족안부(家族安否) 심경(心境)]과 [개인안부(個人安否) 심경(心境)]으로 나뉜다.

This study analyzed the differences in the general characteristics, mental and health-related factors, eating habits, and nutrient intake of Korean male youths before and after the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The data of a total of 1,231 subjects, from among the participants in the 2018 and 2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), were analyzed. The 2020 group had fewer married members than the 2018 group. The subjects in the 2020 group weighed more (P<0.05), had a higher waist circumference (P<0.01), and showed greater weight gain (P<0.05) than the 2018 group subjects. The aerobic physical activity of the 2020 group was lower (P<0.01) compared to the 2018 group. The members of the 2020 group had higher depression scores (P<0.01), suicidal tendencies (P<0.01), and need for counseling for mental problems (P<0.05) than those of the 2018 group. The prevalence of high fasting blood sugar levels and diabetes was higher in the 2020 group compared to the 2018 group. The frequency of breakfast (P<0.01) and dining out (P<0.001) and the proportion of breakfast (P<0.01) and dinner (P<0.05) taken with the family or non-family members was lower in the 2020 group than in the 2018 group. The rate of dietary supplement intake of the 2020 group was higher than that of the 2018 group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the protein (P<0.05), riboflavin (P<0.01), and carbohydrate (P<0.01) intakes between the two groups. These results suggest that male youths had a higher waist circumference and high levels of depression, and showed a decrease in frequency of breakfast intake and dining out after the out break COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, nutrition and health promotion programs are urgently needed to improve mental health, other health-related factors and nutritional status of male adults that are associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: Although cigarette smoking is known to be related to the exacerbation of asthma symptoms, several studies have indicated that the prevalence of cigarette smoking among asthmatic adolescents is similar to or even higher than that among non-asthmatic adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between asthma and cigarette use behaviors and whether or not the presence of suicidal ideation modifies this relationship among Korean adolescents. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2008 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, which included a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students. Multiple logistic regression models were used to calculate odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals of cigarette use behaviors among current asthmatics, former asthmatics, and nonasthmatics, after adjusting for gender, grade, school records, socioeconomic status, current alcohol use, and suicidal ideation. Results: Of 75 238 study participants, 3.5% were current asthmatics and 4.5% were former asthmatics. Compared with non-asthmatics, asthmatics were more likely to report current cigarette use, frequent and heavy cigarette use, and cigarette use before 13 years of age. There were statistically significant interactions between asthma and suicidal ideation in cigarette use behaviors. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that asthmatic adolescents are more likely than non-asthmatic adolescents to engage in cigarette use behaviors and the presence of suicidal ideation is an effect modifier of the relationship between asthma and cigarette use behaviors. Particular attention should be paid to the awareness of health risks of cigarette smoking and mental health problems among asthmatic adolescents.

This study was conducted to investigate the degree of PSI (self-evaluative awareness of problem solving ability) in PMHNP (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners) and to identified the factors predicting problem solving ability of them, in order to provide basic data for the development of the specific education programs to improve problem solving ability. Data was collected from 355 subjects who have the certificates of PMHNP working in hospitals and public centers. Chun Seok Kyun's instruments (1993) based on the Heppner and Petersen's Problem Solving Inventory (1982) was used to determine PMHNPs' PSI. The results were as follows; 1. The average score of PSI of PMHNP was $2.81\pm0.23$. Of the three factors. there marked the lowest score in the factor 3. personal control $(2.56\pm0.43)$, and the highest score was in the factor 1. problem-solving confidence $(2.95\pm0.34)$. 2. The differences in PSI were significant for degree of education and career in psychiatric settings (p=0.000l, p=0.0187). 3. Job satisfaction was the highest factor predicting PSI of PMHNP$(17.9\%)$. When degree of education, career in psychiatric setting and marital status were added, the total predictors explained $24.3\%$. As a result, it is necessary to conduct further research in relation to the problem-solving process, the development of education program. skill acquisition and measurement of problem solving in nursing practice.

Objectives: There were only small studies about the difference of the quality of life depending on blood stasis. We investigated that the blood stasis made the differences of quality of life. Methods: We recruited the participants stratified according to age and gender. The participants were assessed independently by two Korean medicine doctors more than 7 years of clinical experiences whether or not with blood stasis. And they responded at the questionnaire associated with blood stasis and SF-36. The analysis was done with IBM SPSS Statistics (ver. 21). Results: Total 101 participants were checked for with/without blood stasis. 40 participants were accord in the diagnosis with blood stasis by two doctors. Two researchers coincided in diagnosis with non-blood stasis in 42 participants. 19 participants showed the discrepancy between the assessment of blood stasis and they were classified as non-blood stasis. The mean age in group of blood stasis was $44.07{\pm}11.65$, it was not shown the significant difference comparing non-blood stasis group. The subscale of physical function (PF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), mental health (MH) and role emotional (RE) in SF-36 were significantly low in the group of blood stasis. Blood test including biochemistry, fibrinogen, prothrombin time and D-dimer was not in abnormal range according to blood stasis without CRP. Conclusions: The patients that diagnosed of blood stasis showed the bad physical health status, and partially bad mental health. It is necessary to investigate whether Korean traditional treatment for blood stasis would be made improvement for quality of life. Moreover, the standardization of diagnosis on blood stasis would be needed.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the association between unemployment and depression in people from different age groups ranging from 18 to 65 years old. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. We performed bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression on the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 12 states in the United States. Results: On a sample comprised of n=53,406 individuals, of whom 2,546 (7.8%) were identified as being depressed and 3,448 (10.6%) as unemployed, we found that individuals aged 61~65 years have a lower depression risk compared to those aged 18-25 after adjusting for other variables including employment status. However, people from 61~65 have higher increased risk of depression when unemployed compared to other age groups in all three models tested (3.95 times higher in unemployed people in model 1, and 2.81 times higher in model 2 and model 3). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that there may need to be more focus on older adults who are unemployed, with associated support services for their mental health. The results of our study indicate that although older adults are less likely to be unemployed, there are more likely to experience depression if they are unemployed (once other confounding factors are taken into account) than younger adults. Policies and interventions can be developed to address not only the physical difficulties but also the mental challenges with which older adults can be at risk facing in case of unemployment.
