Objectives: To investigate and analyze the assessment indicators and tools used in clinical practice to assess Korean medicine (KM) treatment for infertility, and to establish a basis for assessment tools to diagnose and assess infertility. Methods: Relevant studies published until March 2023 were extracted from Pubmed, Research Information Sharing Service, and National Digital Science Library databases. Results: Sixty-four studies comprising 4,105 patients were included. We investigated pregnancy outcomes, and assessed pregnancy- and childbirth-related factors, overall health, reproductive health, and mental health. Pregnancy result was most common primary outcome. Ongoing pregnancy, stillbirth, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy rates were suggested as indicators of pregnancy and childbirth-related assessment. Overall health was most commonly assessed with Likert and Visual analogue scale (VAS). Among reproductive health variables, menstrual history was most frequently assessed. Moreover, indicators such as reproductive function, sexual intercourse, and gynecological disease were assessed. The Infertility Stress Scale and the Fertility Quality of Life tool (FertiQoL) were used to assess mental health. Conclusions: Subjective scales and objective assessment tools, such as the Likert scale and blood tests/ultrasonography, respectively, are used to assess KM infertility treatment. Inconsistent assessment tools make quantitative analyses more challenging. The development of a standardized mental and physical function assessment questionnaire with confirmed reliability and validity ensure the effectiveness of KM infertility treatment, and promote future studies on infertility treatment.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to measure the workload of home visit care activities and their relative values. This study examined also factors that affect the workload of home visit care activities. Methods : The participants of this study were 126 home-helpers of 50 home visit care agencies at the 2nd Long-term Care Insurance Demonstration Project. The workload of home visit care activities was divided into total work and four dimensions ; physical efforts, mental efforts, stress and time. Home visit care activities consisted of four categories with 24 items. We used magnitude estimation method to measure their relative values of the four dimensions. The participants answered the relative values of each activities based on the reference service. We used the activity for supporting their elderly's evacuation as the reference service. Results : Most of the respondents were over 40 years old female. They consumed most their time supporting elderly's going out. They consumed their highest physical, mental efforts, and stress for activities of coping with emergency situation. The Pearson correlation coefficients showed significant relationships between workload and each dimensions. This study showed that all four dimensions are statistically significant predictors of workload of home visit care activities. Also, we found that the home-helper's career affects the workload of home visit care activities. Conclusions : The workload of home visit care activities could be explained by physical efforts, mental efforts, stress and time.

In order to evaluate the physical and mental health status of airline flight attendants, 136 airline flight attendants were given a general health questionnaire (Todai Health Index), and the prevalence of their subjective complaints was measured. Collected data were classified according to age distribution, length of employment, service area, smoking status, job satisfaction, gender, and marital status. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1 The scores of health complaints of physical items were higher in the oldest group $(age 50\~60)$ than in younger groups. The THI eye and skin symptom scores were significantly higher for the oldest groups than for the younger groups. 2. The health complaints scores of physical items were higher in the long-length employment group (more than 5 years), whereas most scores of mental items were higher in the short- length employment group (less than 2 years). The THI mouth and anus scores for the long-length employment group were significantly higher than for groups of workers who had been employed for a shorter time. 3. THI scores were higher for domestic airline crews, dissatisfied workers and females. 4. The irregular life THI score was significantly higher among domestic crews than international crews. 5. The impulsiveness and depression scores were significantly higher in the dissatisfaction group. 6. The female group showed higher scores in the multiple subjective symptoms, mental irritability, depression, and irregular life categories. 7, The THI scores of the mouth, anus and nervousness were significantly higher for the married group than for the unmarried group. In summary, this study shows that the health complaints scores of physical and mental symptoms tended to be higher among the aged group, domestic airline crews, the dissatisfaction group, and females. These results can be used for improving the psychosomatic health status and working environments of flight attendants.

알코올은 주요정신질환을 가진 개인의 임상적 예후 및 재활성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 국내 정신보건서비스 환경에서는 이에 대한 인식이나 개입이 아직 초기 단계에 머물러 있어 향우 보다 적극적이고 구체적인 개입이 요구되고 있으나, 이에 대한 방안을 모색하는데 필요한 이용자들의 음주행태에 관한 이해는 매우 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 주요정신질환을 가진 이용자들의 음주행태를 서비스환경에 따라 살펴보고 개입의 방안을 제시하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 수도권에 위치한 지역이용기관, 정신보건입소시설, 비정신보건입소시설 총 14개 기관에서 주요정신질환자 151명을 모집하여 음주행위에 관해 설문 및 면접 조사를 실시하고 수집된 자료를 분석에 사용했다. 분석결과, 최근음주자의 비율과 음주빈도는 지역이용기관에서 전반적으로 높았으나 최근 음주자들의 음주행위 심각성은 정신보건입소시설에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 1일 순알코올 소비량은 비정신보건입소 시설에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 나아가, 서비스환경의 폐쇄성이 이용자들의 음주여부를 통제하는데는 주요한 요인으로 작용하나 음주행위의 심각성 면에서는 성별과 정신적 기능상태가 함께 관여되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 개입방안의 모색에 서비스 환경별, 각 환경내 이용자 개인별 특성이 고려되어야 할 필요성을 뒷받침해 주는 것으로써, 결론에서는 서비스 환경별로 음주자에 대한 개입의 방향과 초점을 언급했다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to examine the relationships between Korean adult's daily hours of sleep, depression, and suicidal thoughts using data from the 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey. Methods : This study utilized a depression screening tool, the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), for the 6,355 participants of the health and mental health survey. T-tests, cross analysis, correlation analysis, and logistic regression analysis were used. Results : The results showed that sufficient hours of sleep decreased depression. The depression score for females (3.19) was significantly higher than for males (2.10; p<.001). The participants in the depression group slept less than 7 hours per day (p<.01). Conclusions : The study results showed a significant correlation between sleep duration and depression when health-related factors and social factors influencing sleep were controlled. The results also indicated that this correlation may vary based on gender. This study implies that further studies are necessary to identify the causal relationship between sleep duration and depression.

본 연구는 S시에 거주하는 근무경력 3년 이상의 지역사회 정신보건간호사 9명의 참여로 2014년 11월 7일부터 2014년 12월 21일까지 정신보건간호사들의 폭력경험의 의미 및 본질을 현상학적 접근방법으로 밝히고자 시도된 질적 연구이다. 연구결과 정신보건간호사의 폭력 경험은 '폭풍우를 만난 쪽배', '망망대해', '푯대를 잃어가는 쪽배', '방향키를 다시 잡은 선장'의 4개 범주와 11개의 주제모음 등으로 나타난 것을 볼 때, 정신보건간호사들이 경험하는 환자로부터의 폭력은 전문가의 안전을 위협할 뿐 아니라 정신보건 간호사의 정체성에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이는 환자에 대한 양질의 서비스 제공을 위협할 수 있으므로 심각한 현실 문제로 받아들여야 할 것이다. 또한 폭력 발생 예방에 대한 대책마련과 함께 폭력 피해 당사자인 간호사에 대한 간호조직의 지지프로그램 개발이 무엇보다 선행되어 정신보건간호사들의 안전과 질 높은 간호업무 수행을 위해 실제적인 대책을 마련해야 할 것으로 사료되어 진다.
