This study examined the association between marital status and mental health(depression, and suicidal ideation) of Korean adults by age and sex, using 2005 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Differences of marital status in depression and suicidal ideation were assessed by age and sex-specific prevalence according to each stage of the life course. Our results indicated that adults who divorced, separated, and widowed had significantly higher risk of poor mental health than married adults. Men with no spouse at the stage of middle and older aged are reported higher in depressive symptom than married men. For the suicidal ideation, men with no spouse had higher risk of suicidal ideation through all stage of life course. Women were more likely to report depressive symptom and suicidal ideation than men through all stage of life course. But we could not found the mental health advantage of marriage among Korean women through all stage of life course. Based on findings, the study clearly indicate that the implication of marriage on mental health could be different for adults of different age group and sex.

Purpose: The goal of this paper is to offer practical suggestions for developing, implementing, and maintaining a successful school mental health program based on the model of a school mental health program for middle school students at the Namgu Hyosarang adolescent Mental Health Center. The model will be divided into six areas and the challenges and future direction of this program: creative approach to funding, creative staffing, education, training, needs assessment & resource mapping, collaboration and partnerships in a school mental health program, and developing an outcome evaluation research. Method: This is a descriptive study of the school mental health program model for middle school students of Namgu Hyosarang Adolescent Mental Health Center implemented over a four year period. Conclusion: Within this paper, a blueprint that can guide the development and implementation of school mental health programs has been offered. The actual application of this model will vary depending on the structure and goals of individual programs and schools. This model of our center has been identified as an effective school mental health program and the actual application program in regular learning times to middle school students. Establishing guidelines about the types of activities necessary for the successful implementation and sustainability of a school mental health program constitutes the first step in standardizing this process, and the school mental health movement continues to receive national recognition as a viable services delivery model for adolescents in need of mental health services. The recommendations outlined indicate that a school mental health program is more effective and necessary than the clinical service of a psychiatric hospital for adolescents' emotional/behavioral problems.

Methods: A total of 119 out of 428 from Daegu and Gyeongbuk took part in this study. The statistical analysis methods were the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results: In a multiple regression analysis, females (β=-.137, p=<.001) showed a higher relevance to negative mental health than males. The moderate satisfied (β=-.088, p=.014) and dissatisfied (β=-.147, p=.006) showed a higher relevance to negative mental health than higher satisfied. Moderate stress perception (β=-.199, p=<.001) and higher stress perception (β=-.414, p=<.001) showed a higher relevance to negative mental health than lower stress perception. Corona-virus risk awareness (β=-.050, p=.045) was related to negative mental health and safety environment (β=.136, p=<.001). Personal protective equipment (β=.147, p=<.001) were related to positive mental health.

본 연구의 목적은 서울시 돌봄 서비스 노동자들의 직무스트레스와 정신건강 요인이 구강 증상에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 연구 방법은 돌봄 서비스 노동자 150명을 대상으로 7월 24일부터 8월 6일까지 설문조사를 시행하였다. 조사항목으로는 직무스트레스, 정신건강(신체증상, 불안, 불면), 주관적 구강 증상을 조사하였으며, 연구 결과 다음과 같다. 직무스트레스(p=0.001)는 구강 증상에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신체증상(p<0.001), 불안 증상(p<0.001), 불면 증상(p<0.001) 모두 구강 증상에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 위험 요인 중 신체 증상이 구강 증상에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 직무스트레스, 불안 증상, 불면 증상, 구강 증상의 상관성 결과, 직무스트레스가 증가할수록 신체 증상(p<0.001), 불안 증상(p<0.001), 불면 증상(p<0.001), 구강 증상(p<0.01)이 모두 증가하는 양의 상관성을 나타냈다. 돌봄 서비스 노동자들은 돌봄 대상자를 신체적·정신적으로 보살펴야 하는 업무를 수행하므로 육체적·심리적 노동력 소진이 크다. 자신의 건강과 구강건강 상태가 좋아야 업무수행력을 높일 수가 있기에 노동자들의 정신건강을 위한 제도적 확대 방안이 필요하며, 구강건강 증진을 위한 맞춤별 구강보건교육 프로그램 도입이 매우 필요하다고 사려된다.
