Results : The results of this study showed that selective attention, and sustained attention were significantly improved. Self-control also improved, but without any statistical significance. These results indicate MBCQ-C was effective for the improvement of attention abilities, but self-control, including upper cognition area needs more consistent exercise.

Amputation changes the lives of patients and their families. Consequently, the patient must adapt to altered body function and image. During this adaptation process, psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, can occur. The psychological difficulties of patients with amputation are often accepted as normal responses that are often poorly recognized by patients, family members, and their primary physicians. Psychological problems can interfere with rehabilitation and cause additional psychosocial problems. Therefore, their early detection and treatment are important. A multidisciplinary team approach, including mental health professionals, is ideal for comprehensive and biopsychosocial management. Mental health professionals could help patients set realistic goals and use adaptive coping styles. Psychiatric approaches should consider the physical, cognitive, psychological, social, and spiritual functions and social support systems before and after amputation. The abilities and limitations of physical, cognitive, psychological, and social functions should also be considered. To improve the patient's adaptation, psychological interventions such as short-term psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, biofeedback, and group psychotherapy can be helpful.

This study aimed to examine the influence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on areas of Korean medical students' lives, assess concerns, and investigate the strategies they used to cope with stress due to the pandemic. An online survey with a total of 53 items on the impact of COVID-19, concerns, and coping strategies was sent to medical students, and responses were collected from April 27, 2021 to May 30, 2021. In total, 1,329 students were included in the study. Analysis was performed using the chi-square test, independent-sample t-test, and one-way analysis of variance, and the post-hoc Scheffé test or Games-Howell test was performed for multiple comparisons. The main negative impacts of the pandemic were on hobbies/leisure activities and mental health, and medical students expressed the highest levels of concern regarding restriction of movement, returning to everyday life, and risk of infection for family and friends. Female students more strongly agreed that COVID-19 had increased their depressed mood and anxiety (p<0.001 and p=0.003, respectively). Furthermore, the negative impacts of the pandemic on different areas of life significantly affected current levels of depressed mood and anxiety. To cope with pandemic-related stress, students used several strategies such as talking with family or friends (91.5%), sleeping (83.1%), exercising (72.8%), using social networking services (60.8%), drinking alcohol (37.8%), and practicing meditation/mindfulness (24.4%); the effectiveness of these strategies ranged from 3.45 to 4.19 on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1-5). The study findings suggest that COVID-19 has influenced the mental health of medical students and raised concerns in many areas of their lives. Students used various strategies to cope with the pandemic-related stress; since the effectiveness of frequently used approaches varied, it is essential to guide medical students to develop effective coping strategies.

본 연구는 노인의 자살생각에 미치는 영향요인에 대한 선행연구들의 결과를 메타분석을 통하여 종합하여 제시하며, 이를 바탕으로 자살생각 단계에서부터 자살을 효과적으로 예방하기 위한 자살예방프로그램 개발과 상담적 접근 방법을 모색하는데 실질적인 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 분석대상 자료는 2001년부터 2016년까지 국내 학술지에 게재된 선행연구들 중 노인의 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 독립변인으로 하고 노인의 자살생각을 종속변인으로 하는 연구물 총 97편으로 하였다. 노인의 자살생각에 미치는 영향요인을 개인변인군, 가족변인군, 사회변인군으로 나누고 각각의 체계 안에서 자살생각의 유발요인과 억제요인을 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 총 30개의 변인중 개인변인군에서 19개의 하위변인이 추출되었고 유발요인에서는 우울, 짐스러움, 스트레스가, 억제요인에서는 정신건강이 효과크기가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 가족변인군에서는 5개의 하위변인이 추출되었고, 유발요인 중 동거인 없음이 중간 효과크기를, 억제변인 중 가족결속은 큰 효과크기를 보였다. 사회변인군에서는 6개의 하위변인이 추출되었으며, 유발변인은 노인차별, 사회고립, 부정적 사회관계 순으로 효과크기가 나타났고, 억제변인은 사회관계, 사회지지, 사회환경, 사회활동 순으로 효과크기가 나타났다.
