Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify factors influencing on the mental health in bereaved adults. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study was conducted in 160 adults who had experienced bereavement. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses with SPSS 26.0. Results: The participants' mental health showed a positive correlation with complicated grief (r=.31, p<.001) and a negative correlation with grief and meaning reconstruction (r=-.30, p<.001). Sex, sleeping time, intimacy with the deceased, grief reaction, and grief and meaning reconstruction were significant factors influencing on the mental health. The total explanatory power of these variables was 31.8%. Conclusion: It is necessary to explore the persistent and impairing grief after experiencing bereavement. Our study findings will be fundamental evidence to develop nursing interventions to improve adult mental health dealing with bereavement and grief.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify predictors related to aggressive behavior of patients with mental illness admitted to a closed psychiatric ward. Methods: This study adopted a retrospective design which analyzed the hospital medical records of 363 patients with mental illness admitted to the psychiatric closed ward of a university hospital in Seoul, Korea. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS IBM 20.0 and STATA 12.0 SE. ZIP (Zero-Inflated Poisson) and count data analysis were used for the factor influencing the occurrence and frequency of aggressive behavior. Results: The results of ZIP model showed that the factors influencing non-probability of aggressive behavior were anxiety, non-adherence, and frustration. In addition, the factors influencing frequency of aggressive behavior were bipolar disorder and personality disorder trait. Conclusion: We found that bipolar disorder, frustration, and non-adherence are more likely to increase the likelihood of aggressive behavior in patients with mental illness. In particular, patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder were 1.95 times more likely to engage in repetitive aggressive behavior compared to those without a diagnose. However, since the results were different form previous studies, further studies on the traits of anxiety and personality disorders are needed.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of nursing professionalism on the nursing performance and retention intention among psychiatric mental health nurses. Methods: As a descriptive correlational study, this study sampled 206 psychiatric mental health nurses in six hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi area through convenience sampling. Data were collected from March 2 to 31, 2009 using a self-report questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 16.0. Results: In the subscales of professionalism, the 'Sense of calling' had the highest mean score while the 'Professional organization' had the lowest mean score. A significant positive correlation was observed in nursing professionalism, nursing performance and retention intention. According to an analysis on the impact of each subscale of nursing professionalism on nursing performance and retention intention, the 'Sense of calling' and 'Autonomy' were the most significant predictor variable. Conclusion: The results confirmed that the improvement of psychiatric mental health nurses' professionalism increases their nursing performance and retention intention and the 'Sense of calling' and 'Autonomy' are critical prediction factors. It is necessary to come up with a strategy which strengthens nursing professionalism in order to improve psychiatric mental health nurses' performance and retention intention.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the psychiatric characteristics of outpatients with tinnitus. Methods A total of 88 subjects were included in this study. According to Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) scores, the subjects were classified into two group ; a mild tinnitus symptoms (mild-tinnitus) group and a severe tinnitus symptoms (severe-tinnitus) group. A questionnaire was used for an assessment of demographic characteristics, and the THI, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) about tinnitus, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) are applied for evaluation of other clinical psychiatric characteristics. Results Higher THI scores were positively correlated with tinnitus course, the number of accompanying symptoms, and the VAS. BDI total scores, BDI factors, and BAI total scores were significantly higher in the severe-tinnitus group than in the mild-tinnitus group. Also suicidal ideation, interpersonal problems, sleep problems, occupational impairment, and fatigue were significantly higher in the severe-tinnitus group than in the mild-tinnitus group. Conclusions Tinnitus is a common disorder of hearing which is associated frequently with psychiatric problems. This study suggests that psychiatric interventions should be taken into consideration in the treatment of patients suffering from tinnitus.

Oseltamivir is an antiviral medication prescribed to prevent and treat influenza A and B. A case from a community pharmacy in Korea was reported for an adverse event associated with oseltamivir administration. A 20-month-old boy had psychiatric symptoms after receiving 2 doses of oseltamivir. Therefore, an evaluation of whether the psychiatric symptoms were caused by oseltamivir was required. To determine whether the adverse event resulted from the administrated medication or other factors, three tools were used: the Naranjo scale, the Korean causality assessment algorithm (Ver.2), and the World Health Organization-Uppsala Monitoring Center (WHO-UMC) criteria. The psychiatric symptoms occurred after oseltamivir administration, and were attenuated after oseltamivir termination. A possible cause of the psychiatric symptoms is high fever, but information on the body temperature of the patient was not sufficient. Therefore, it was unclear whether there were other nonpharmacological causes of adverse drug reaction. For these reasons, in terms of causality, the results evaluated by the three tools represented, "possible", "probable", and "probable/likely", respectively.

Bereavement is the state of loss resulting from death. Grief is the emotional response associated with loss, intense and acute sorrow resulting from loss. Complicated grief represent a pathological outcome involving social, physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual morbidity. The common psychiatric disorders associated complicated grief or abnormal grief responses include clinical depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol abuse or other substance abuse, and dependence, psychotic disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Grief tasks involve a series of stage or phases following an important loss that gradually permit adjustment and recovery. Three phases of grief involve phase 1 (walking the edges), phase 2 (entering the depths), and phase 3 (reconnecting the world). For intervention to be effective they need to be individually tailored to abnormal grief reaction or unresolved grief reaction. Clear understandings of complicated grief, abnormal responses, factors increasing risk after bereavement will often enable us to prevent psychiatric disorders in bereaved patients.

To become an effective and successful consultation-liasion psychiatrist the psychiatrist should consider two aspects of consultation before he/she meets his/her patients. First the psychiatrist should understand the internal need and psychological state of patients who visited their physician before being refered to a psychiatrist So psychiatrists should be careful in the evaluation of the patient's intention whether they are willing to accept the psychiatric treatment approach or not Second the psychiatrist should understand the situation and the physician's internal need in the consultation. Psychiatrists should recognize whether there are any factors which interfere with the mutual understanding and cooperation between physicians and psychiatrist.

연구목적: 종합병원에서 정신과에 자문 의뢰된 입원 환자 및 그 자문의뢰의 특성을 살펴보고 이를 통해 정신과 치료의 순응도에 관련된 요인을 찾아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2009년 9월 1일부터 2010년 8월 31일까지 고려대학교 안산병원에서 정신과에 자문 의뢰된 입원환자 333명을 대상으로 자문기록지와 의무기록을 참고하여 연구를 진행하였다. 기본적인 인구 역학적 정보, 자문을 의뢰한 임상 각과, 의뢰 요청자, 의뢰된 사유, 정신과적 진단과 과거력, 입원 중 정신과 치료의 시행 여부 및 추후 통원 치료의 여부 등을 조사하였다. 이들 중 정신과 치료의 시행 여부 및 통원 치료의 여부를 치료순응도로 정하였다. 순응도와 기타 변수간의 이분형로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하여 순응도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하였다. 결 과: 입원 중 정신과 치료를 권유 받은 310명의 환자들 중, 치료에 순응한 환자는 82.9%이었으며, 외래 통원치료를 권유 받은 111명의 환자들 중에는 통원치료에 순응한 환자가 55.8%이었다. 64세 이하 연령층보다 65세 이상의 노인에서 입원 중 치료에 대한 순응도가 높았다(OR=4.838, p=0.004). 외래 통원치료를 권유받은 환자들 중 내과적 질환으로 인해 이차적인 정신과적 증상이 나타난 경우가 외래 순응도가 더 높았다(OR=8.520, p=0.008). 결 론: 노인 환자는 입원중 정신과 치료에 대해서는 순응도가 높았으나 신체 질환의경과에 영향을 미치는 섬망 및 기분장애가 흔하므로 정신과적 증상에 대한 평가와 치료가 보다 적극적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 또한, 내외과적 질환과 관련이 없는 정신과 문제로 자문 의뢰된 환자들은 외래 통원치료 순응도가 낮으므로 치료순응도를 높이기 위해 다방면의 치료적 접근 방법을 모색하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 노인인구의 급속한 증가로 인하여 정신과에서 노인에 대한 자문의 중요성이 확대되고 있다. 따라서 임상에서의 노인에 대한 정신과 자문의 특징과 지침에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 타과적 질환을 갖는 노인에 대한 정신과적 자문은 다른 연령층과는 다른 특성을 갖는다. 노화에 따른 장기 기능의 변화와 약동학 및 약력학의 변화에 대한 숙지가 노인에 대한 정신약물학적 접근에 매우 필수적이다. 타 연령층에 비해 노인에 대한 정신과적 자문은 상대적으로 적은 것으로 조사되었으나 실제 정신과적 자문이 노인질환의 재원기간이나 기타 사망률 등을 낮출 수 있음을 고려할 때, 노인에 대한 자문을 저해하는 요인들을 분석하고 교정하는 것이 매우 필요하다.
