이 연구는 농촌지역 정신보건의료서비스의 필요도와 공급수준을 파악하고 일차정신보건시설로서 보건소가 운영하는 정신보건사업을 평가하고자 하였다. 필요도는 유병률과 정신보건서비스 이용률로 한정하여 2001년도에 보건복지부가 주관하여 실시한 정신질환 실태 역학조사 결과를 이용하여 도농간 차이를 비교하였다. 공급수준은 입원 및 요양 병상수와 일차정신보건의료시설의 기초자치 단체별 설치율로 한정하여 전자는 2002년도에 보건복지부 산하 지역사회 기술지원단이 작성한 보고서 결과내용 중 일부를 발췌하였고 후자는 보건복지부의 2003년도 정신보건사업 안내서와 정신보건의료기관 총람의 내용을 토대로 재구성하였다. 농촌지역의 보건소 정신보건사업을 평가하기 위하여 2002년도에 각 기초자치단체가 중앙에 제출한 제3기 지역보건 의료계획서들 중 농촌형지역과 도농복합형지역으로 구분하여 각각 중앙 및 광역자치단체 정부의 지원 여부에 따라 지원한 경우 1-2개, 지원하지 않는 경우 광역자치단체별로 각각 2개소를 무작위 추출하여 정신보건사업내용부문을 사업대상 및 등록, 구조, 과정으로 나누어 정신보건사업안내서에 제시한 기준을 가지고 평가하였고 담당자들이 작성한 정신보건사업의 문제점들을 분석하였다. 이 연구는 2003년 4월 1일부터 5월 10일까지 이루어졌고 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 니코틴 장애를 제외한 평생유병률과 일년유병률은 도시지역이 24.9%, 13.2%, 농촌지역이 28.2%, 17.7%이었으며 정신분열증, 주요우울증, 불안장애, 알코올 사용장애 등 주요 정신질환 역시 도시보다 농촌지역이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지난 일년간 정신보건의료서비스 이용률은 전체적으로 8.9%에 불과하였다. 둘째, 입원 및 요양 병상수는 2001년 현재 인구 천명당 0.97병상이며 요양시설을 포함할 경우 1.27병상으로 세계 보건기구가 권장하는 인구 천명당 1.0병상, 그리고 병상 감소정책을 추진하고 있는 유럽이 0.93병상임을 고려할 때 양적으로 부족하지는 않다. 그러나 광역자치단체간 편차가 큰 것으로 나타났는데 서울, 인천, 울산 등 대도시지역이 충북, 충남, 경남, 전남지역의 1/6내외수준이었다. 셋째, 일차정신보건의료시설의 기초자치단체 충원율을 살펴보면, 정신과 의원은 광역시 및 특별시형은 100%인 반면 농촌형지역 89곳 중 15곳(16.9%)만이 설치되어 있었으며 사회복귀시설은 전반적으로 낮았으며 농촌지역의 충원율이 7.9%로 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 보건소 정신보건사업에 대한 중앙 및 광역자치단체의 지원율이 광역시 및 특별시형이 42%인 반면 농촌형지역은 22.5%인 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 농촌형지역과 도농복합형지역 모두에서 지원을 받지 않은곳이 자체예산을 추가로 확충하지 않아 사업인력 및 예산이 매우 취약하고 중앙정부가 제시하는 기본사업에 대한 충실도가 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때 농촌지역이 도시지역에 못지 않게 정신보건의료서비스에 대한 필요도가 높으나 서비스 이용률은 매우 낮았으며 도시지역에 비해 농촌지역의 일차정신보건의료시설들이 매우 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 일차정신보건의료시설로서 보건소가 도시지역 보다 농촌지역에서 더 중요한 역할을 수행해야 하나 중앙의 지원율은 오히려 농촌지역 보다 도시지역이 더 높았고 지원을 받지 않는 보건소의 정신보건사업프로그램은 매우 형식적으로 진행되고 있었다. 앞으로 중앙정부는 일반의료서비스에 있어서 농어촌의료서비스 개선정책을 추진하듯이 정신보건정책에 있어서도 이러한 고려가 필요하다.

Objectives: To identify factors related to physical health monitoring of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Methods: A total of 172 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder registered in mental health welfare centers and rehabilitation facilities in Gwangju were recruited. Physical health monitoring was defined by two health behaviors; fasting blood tests within recent 2 years in all participants and routine medical check-ups covered by national insurance within recent 5 years in participants aged 40 years or older. Demographic and clinical characteristics including overweight, metabolic syndrome and knowledge about physical illness were compared according to physical health monitoring. Results: Prevalence of overweight and metabolic syndrome were 62.8% and 40.1%, respectively. The rates of fasting blood tests and routine medical check-ups were 34.9% and 67.9%, respectively. The rates of fasting blood tests were significantly higher in general hospital and university hospital compared to mental hospital or private clinic. Rates of routine medical check-ups were significantly lower in individuals using daily rehabilitation service and smokers. Knowledge about cancer and chronic illness were significantly better in individuals receiving routine medical check-ups compared with those not receiving it. Conclusion: Education about physical health should be integrated to mental health service in community mental health center.

Continuing shift service of clinical nurses can be not only the cause of occupational dissatisfaction by being connected with the change of circadian rhythm and the burden of duties to be applicable to such changes. But also of inviting the lowering of nursing quality by being affected to the resignation of the nurses as the threat to the health of the nurses. This study has selected 500 nurses at random under non-probability sampling who have been serving by shift in 7 general hospitals which have over 400 sickbeds for the purpose of cross-sectional survey design from Sep. 7 through 20, 1996. Standardized modification of the CMI has been used which was designed for Koreans with Cornell Medical Index developed by Broadman and his fellow workers as the study device. The structure of the device was composed of 35 questions on physical appeal(Chronbach's ${\alpha}=8507$) and 22 questions of mental appeal(Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.8166$ totalling 57 questions. The collected data has been computerrized by using SPSS. General character, present symptom, perceived symptom and others are sought by practical number and percentage, and the health condition comparison followed by general characters was conducted by t-test and ANOVA. The post test was by Duncan's test by the level of p<.05. 1) The items of the answer that they have the physical symptom presently by 50% or over of the nurses were as "Do you often have spells of severe dizziness", "Are your eyes often red or inflamed", "Does press or pain in the head often make like miserable", "Are your ankles often badly swollen", "Do pains in the back make it hard for you to keep up with your work". 2) The items of the answer by over 50% of the nurses as the mental symptom at present were "do you fell bad when criticized?", "Do you get angry when everything is against your will?", "do you get angry when ordered to do this and that?", "do you feel uneasy by such a trifle thing?", "do you tremble or are you freightened by sudden sound?". The mental and physical symptoms which have appeared presently in connection with the shift service have been agreed with each other. But the physical condition has been worse than the mental one. 3) In the physical health conditions followed by demosociological character, there were the significant differences by sex, religion and place of residence(p<.05), and in the mental health conditions, there were the significant differences by age, marital status, residence place and the required time for attending hospital(p<.05). 4) There was significant difference by the degree of satisfaction about the duty in both the physical and mental health conditions. In short, the higher the degree of duty satisfaction, the better the health conditions. 5) There were the significant difference according to the times of night duty and whether they take the drug or not or the kinds of the drugs in the physical health conditions related with the characters of night shift. Mental health conditions in the night shift case showed significant differences according to their taking drug or not or the kinds of the drugs(p<.05). I can confirm that the nurses have been affected continuously by the shift service mentally and physically. The maintenance of the physical and mental health of the nurses and its promotion are very important problem to guarantee the quality nursing in the performance of the nursing service continuously and effectively, so the hospital should make every effort to improve the duty conditions by finding out the causes affecting to their health. In the nursing management viewpoint, I think that elevating the satisfaction degree about the duty would be a great help to the promotion of physical and mental health conditions. But what is most important is that the nurses themselves should take care of themselves in maintaining the good conditions in their service in the hospital.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the correlation of mental-and oral-health status with periodontal disease. Ultimately, we sought to make a positive contribution to the promotion of periodontal health and the prevention of periodontal disease. Methods : This study was analyzed using the data of KNHANES 2013-2015. The participants of this study were between 20 and 64 years old. The final selection was 1,512 adults. Results : Participants with a sleeping time of less than 6 hours and those who recognized stress showed higher periodontal disease. Number of decaying teeth, oral-health status, toothaches, and chewing problems were associated significantly with periodontal disease. To investigate the effects of general characteristics and mental and oral-health status on periodontal disease, a logistic regression analysis was conducted. Sex, age, education level, smoking status, oral-health status, and chewing problems were variables that affected periodontal disease. Conclusions : This study showed that mental-and oral-health status is closely related to periodontal disease. Therefore, it is expected that this will be used as basic data to effectively improve periodontal disease in adults.

Objectives: This study investigates lay beliefs about the etiology and treatments of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome, as well as identifying sociodemographic and personality variables affecting these beliefs among South Koreans. Methods: In total, 673 participants (mean age $41.77{\pm}12.03$ years) completed an online survey regarding their beliefs about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. The factors related to their lay beliefs about the disorders were analyzed, and the correlates were investigated. Results: Results indicated that lay people in South Korea held strong beliefs that the causes of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome lie within the parenting/psychological and neurological/biological categories, compared to the dietary/environmental one. Among the sociodemographic variables, sex, age, and levels of subjective mental health knowledge were primarily associated with the aforementioned beliefs. Familiarity with tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome was also associated with these beliefs. Among the personality traits investigated, extraversion and conscientiousness had significant influences on the beliefs people had about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. Conclusion: The results suggest that both policy makers and mental health service providers should adopt a strategic approach for developing and implementing health education interventions about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome because individual sociodemographic variables, familiarity with the disorders, and personality traits are all associated with the beliefs about these disorders.

Suicide is a major problem in Korean health care and a serious social problem. In Korea, 12,463 people (24.3 per 100,000) lost their lives due to suicide in 2017. Although the government has established three National Comprehensive Plan of Suicide Prevention (2004, 2009, 2016), and National Action Plan of Suicide Prevention (2018), the suicide rate is still high. The suicide rate of the elderly is especially high. This is due to the economic vulnerability of the elderly in Korea. Therefore, in order to prevent suicide in Korea, mental health care approach and social welfare approach should be integrated. The intervention of preventing suicide of suicide attempters should include social welfare services as well as mental health program and should be based on community. There are many health problems, including prevention of suicide, which can not be solved only by the efforts of health care. Many health problems are social problems and the integrated approach is needed to solve them. In order to solve many health care problems and improve health, integrated approach of health, social science, and humanities is needed.

Home health care is moving into a set of new realities. An era of competition and cost containment has arrived. Before nurses are able to contain costs or describe the relationship between nursing activities, cost must be accurately measured based on the nurse's workload. Nurses in home health care usually desire to measure expenses for one of three reasons : reimbursement, management, or research. The purpose of the study was to investigate the work input by Registered Nurse in each of the home health care activities by relative value units and identify the factors affecting the nurses' total work input in health care services. To measure the work input by nurses, work was defined by four dimensions: time, physical effort, mental effort, and stress. This study used a descriptive-correlational design. Data collection consisted of two phases. In phase I, data on home health activities performed by nurses were collected. In phase II, data on nurses' time, physical effort, mental effort, and stress in each of home health care activities discovered phase I were collected. In this method, the respondent was asked to rate a service in relation to a reference service using a ratio scale. The sample included 39 home health care nurses. The results of the study indicated that home health care activities performed by the nurses were in 10 categories and 69 items. Measuring the relative work inputs in each of home health care activities, and foley catheterization was selected as the reference to service. In terms of time and physical effort dimensions, full bath service was rated as the most strenuous among 69 activities by the respondents, and intramuscular injection was rated as least. It was found that emergency treatment required the highest mental effort and the highest stress, while blood sugar tests required the lowest mental effort. Approximately 91.3% of the variance in total work input was accounted for by the linear combination of time, physical effort, mental effort judgement, and stress. Examining the regression coefficients of those variables, physical effort, time, and stress were found as the predictors which were significantly associated with the total work of nurses in home health care. Professional nursing's next step in the conundrum of economic volatility is to develop a tool to reflect the interaction of functional deficiency and direct professional nursing care. And this will be a more accurate predictor of nursing resource use and ultimately a great forcaeter cost.
