The onset of many lifelong mental illnesses is during childhood and adolescence. There has been an increase in these conditions among children and adolescents especially, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is essential to promote mental health literacy (MHL) as a preventive and universal intervention for children and adolescents. Positive mental health status in adolescence is related to an increased level of MHL, and various MHL programs at schools have been reported to be effective for adolescent students worldwide. Recently, MHL programs have been developed in South Korea to be used by schoolteachers. There is a need for active dissemination and development of future programs. For continuous and effective education, it is desirable to include MHL education in regular school curricula.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing file-up family stress in the family with a family member having a chronic mental illness. Method: Data was collected by questionnaires from 365 families with a member having a chronic mental illness, in an outpatient clinic of a General Hospital and Government Psychiatric Hospital in Seoul. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The score of file-up stress showed a significantly negative correlation with the score of level of hardiness (r=-.31, p=.00), family support (r=-.13, p=.00), family cohesion (r=-.25, p=.00), and sense of coherence (r=-.26, p=.00). The most powerful predictor of file-up stress was family hardiness and the variance was 11.1%. Acombination of hardiness, family support, and sense of coherence account for 14.8 % of the variance in file-up stress of the family with a member having a chronic mental illness. Conclusion: This study suggests that family support, hardiness, cohesion, and sense of coherence are significant influencing factors on file-up stress in the family with a member having a chronic mental illness.

Recently the Supreme Court held that "in cases in which a patient suffering from a mental disorder attempts to commit suicide, fails, and then succeeds in a subsequent attempt, the following circumstances must be present in order to acknowledge reasonable causation between the negligence of the hospital with regards to taking care of the patient and the death of the patient; there must have existed negligence on the part of the hospital with regards to their failure to stop the 1stsuicide attempt, injurious aftereffects must have been caused to the patient by the1stsuicide attempt, and said aftereffects must have been the main cause for the 2nd successful suicide attemtp." This, in effect, lessens the requirements of past holdings of the Supreme Court which held that "to acknowledge reasonable causation between the negligence of the hospital and the patient that commits suicide, the patient must have experienced such severe physical and mental suffering from the previous attempt so that they could not help but choose to commit suicide". The fact that the Supreme Court did not clearly state such changes in their view on this matter should be corrected. Also, the fact that the court only held the hospital liable for damages of less than 50 million won, only calculating damages up to the point when the deceased passed, is inadequate compared to other cases and should be corrected.

서을 소재 한 정신병원에서 이가 유행한다며. 관리를 요청받아 1988년 6월 27 28 이틀간 이 병원을 방문하여 환자들의 이 감염 여부를 조사하였다. 입원환자들의 일부인 대상자는 8개의 병동에 있었으며 모두 17세 이상이었다. 남자 143명 가운데 22명, 여자 438명 가운데 142명이 이에 감염되어 있었다. 이에 감염된 여자 142명 가운데 47명(33.1%)에서 층체가 발견되어 이 집단에서 매우 활발한 전파가 일어나고 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 이 병원에는 행려자들의 수용병동이 있어서, 새로 입원하는 사람들이 감염원이 되기에 계속 정기 검사와 화학요법을 통하여 관리하여야 이 퇴치가 가능할 것이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine occupational risk factors that affect the mental health (depression, anxiety, anger, insomnia, self-esteem, trauma) of hospital facility workers. Methods: A survey was conducted from November 17, 2020 to December 1, 2020 for 700 non-medical workers (Temporary and contract workers: cleaning, security, information, office workers, etc.) working at a general hospital in Seoul. Results: As a result of the study, the risk of musculoskeletal disorders was found to have a significant effect on depression, anxiety, insomnia, and trauma. Noise had a significant effect on depression and anger, dust hazard had an effect on depression and self-esteem, and high temperature had a significant effect on anxiety and insomnia. Conclusions: Based on these results, it is necessary to examine the influence of occupational risk factors to improve the mental health of non-medical hospital facility workers.

P450 CYP2D6 enzyme(=debrisoquine hydroxylase) is known to metabolize many neuroleptics and some genetic polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene were reported to be associated with tardive dyskinesia(TD). We investigeted the association of two genetic polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene, $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$, with TD in Korean schizophrenic subjects. Subjects consisted of 71 Korean schizophrenics and TD was evaluated using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). There were no statistically significant differences in the demographic variables of age, male to female percentage and the current antipsychotic(CPZ equivalent) dose between the group with TD and the group without TD. But the duration of antipsychotic drug exposure was significantly higher in the group without TD(p=0.000, by independent t-test). The mean AIMS score in the group with TD was $11.2{\pm}6.6$(S.D.). Genotypings for the presence of $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$ were done using PCR amplifications and endonuclease digestions. There were no statistically significant genotypic and alleleic associations between TD and $CYP2D6^*4$(by chisquare tests), and between TD and $CYP2D6^*10$(by chi-square tests). These results indicate that the $CYP2D6^*4$ and $CYP2D6^*10$ polymorphisms have no significant roles in the causation of TD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mental practice in increasing accuracy of performance during motor task. Forty healthy students aged 17 years were randomly assigned to two groups. The experimental group(n=20) performed mental practice; the control group(n=20) performed nothing. The task was dotting. No significant change was seen between pre and post test subtest results following mental practice sessions(p>0.05). The experimental group's accuracy improved a little but this was not valuable statistically(p>0.05). We could not prove that mental practice was effective in increasing accuracy of motor task performance.

연구목적 본 연구는 정신건강 고위험군 대학생을 위한 인지행동치료 기반 개입 프로그램의 개발 및 정신건강 요인들에 대한 치료 효과 확인을 목표로 하였다. 방 법 본 프로그램은 대학생 특정 개입으로서 우울 등의 문제 증상을 감소시키고 회복탄력성 및 긍정정서를 증진시키기 위해 개발되었다. 총 26명의 고위험군 대학생을 대상으로 총 8주동안의 집단 프로그램을 진행하여, 우울, 회복탄력성, 삶의 만족도, 긍정 및 부정적 정서의 사전, 사후 변화를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 본 프로그램의 주요 목표 증상인 우울 점수는 개입 전에 비해 개입 후 유의미하게 감소하였다(t=3.51, p=0.002). 또한, 대학생들의 회복탄력성(t=-3.65, p=0.001)과 삶의 만족도(t=-3.00, p=0.006)와 같은 보호 요인 또한 유의미하게 향상되었다. 한편, 부적 정서는 개입 전후 유의미한 차이가 관찰되지 않았으며(t=-0.94, p=0.356), 긍정 정서는 개입 후 감소하였다(t=2.28, p=0.031). 결 론 본 연구는 집단 프로그램 시행 후 참가자들의 우울 증상이 감소하고, 회복탄력성 및 삶의 만족도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 이는 본 프로그램이 대학생 정신건강 고위험군의 문제 증상 및 보호 요인에 효과적으로 개입할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify the relationships among symptom bother, physical and mental stress and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. Methods: The participants were 106 women who were diagnosed with OAB (urgency, urge urinary incontinence, frequency, and/or nocturia) at P university hospital. Data were collected from Dec 23, 2011 to Aug 31, 2012. Results: The mean score for symptom bother was 43.1 points, for physical stress, 12.8 which was slightly higher than mental stress (11.8), and for HRQoL, 63.9. For symptom type, there were statistically significant differences in the symptom bother (F=8.67, p<.001) and HRQL (F=3.32, p=.023). The Symptom bother of OAB was positively correlated with physical stress (r=.23, p=.014) and mental stress (r=.33, p<.001) and negatively correlated with the subscales of HRQoL; coping (r=-.66, p<.001), concern (r=-.71, p<.001), sleep (r=-.59, p<.001), and social interaction (r=-.58, p<.001). Conclusion: From the results, bother symptom was associated with physical, mental stress and HRQoL. These results suggest that nursing intervention programs for OAB should be developed not only to relieve the symptoms but also to reduce stress and improve the quality of life.
