Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated medical service model for a fibromyalgia patient and their caregiver, focusing on reducing pain and improving quality of life. Methods: A single-case study design was employed, involving a fibromyalgia patient and their primary caregiver treated at W University Hospital. The integrated medical service program, based on the Ministry of Health and Welfare's model, included medical consultations and complementary therapies such as psychological counseling, art therapy, music therapy, horticultural therapy, yoga, and meditation. The program was conducted weekly for 8 weeks, with each session lasting up to 100 minutes. Data collection involved both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Quantitative data included demographic surveys, psychological tests, health-related quality of life measures, pain indices, and sleep quality indices. Qualitative data were gathered through feedback evaluations and emotional assessments. Results: The patient showed improvements in mobility, self-care, daily activities, and anxiety/depression, with EQ-VAS scores increasing from 20 to 40 and pain perception decreasing from 67.41 to 42.58. The caregiver reported reduced anxiety/depression and an increase in EQ-VAS scores from 95 to 98. Both patient and caregiver exhibited emotional changes, with decreased depression and increased happiness. However, the patient showed an increase in fear and anger. Conclusions: The integrated medical service model positively impacted the emotional and psychological well-being of the fibromyalgia patient and their caregiver. Despite the limitations of a small sample size and a single-case study design, the findings suggest that an integrated approach can be beneficial. Larger-scale studies are needed to confirm and generalize these results.

Objectives : Mindfulness meditation has recently become a major component in mainstream modern cognitive behavioral therapy. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of a mindfulness meditation program on positive resources of outpatients with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. Methods : Participants were 55 psychiatric clinic outpatients. Participants received eight weekly sessions in a mindfulness meditation training program, that was approximately 90 minutes each. Measures included the Positive Resources Test (POREST), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-16 (AAQ-16), Life Satisfaction Expectancy Scales (LSES), and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). Variables were measured at two time points : pre- and post-implementation (eight weeks later). Results : Paired t-test results of participants before and after the mindfulness meditation program revealed statistically significant improvement in positive resources (t=-5.847, p<.001), acceptance (t=-4.090, p<.001), life satisfaction expectancy (t=-3.892, p<.001), but not in subjective happiness. Conclusion : Results suggest mindfulness meditation may be effective to enhance positive resources, acceptance, and life satisfaction in outpatients with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. Mindfulness meditation may be a factor in improving psychological well-being and positive psychological features in outpatients with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder.

Purpose : This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrative medical service model applied to breast cancer patients and their caregivers, exploring its feasibility and challenges within the context of South Korean healthcare system. Methods : A case study approach was chosen to assess the integrative medical service model's efficacy, involving one breast cancer patient and her primary caregiver from W University Hospital. The patient had completed reconstructive surgery and chemotherapy and was undergoing radiotherapy. The model included standard treatments alongside psychological counseling, aromatherapy, axillary rehabilitation exercise, make-up program, art therapy, laughter therapy, horticultural therapy, and yoga programs, and meditation programs delivered over eight weeks. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through surveys, psychological tests, and feedback assessments. Results : The integrative medical service model demonstrated notable improvements in the quality of life for both breast cancer patients and their caregivers. Participants reported enhanced emotional well-being, reduced stress levels, and improved coping mechanisms throughout the treatment journey. Qualitative feedback highlighted the positive impact of holistic interventions in alleviating psychological distress and fostering resilience. Quantitative data corroborated these findings, showing statistically significant improvements in various psychosocial parameters assessed. Conclusions : Our findings underscore the benefits of integrative medical service model with standard medical treatments in the care of breast cancer patients and their caregivers. The holistic approach not only addresses physical symptoms but also enhances overall well-being and quality of life. However, the implementation of such models faces challenges within the South Korean healthcare system, including fragmented service networks and financial constraints. Addressing these structural barriers is crucial for the widespread adoption and sustainability of integrative care models in oncology practice. Future research should focus on larger-scale studies to further validate these findings and inform policy decisions aimed at optimizing cancer care delivery.

The purpose of the present study is to examine relationships between disconnection and rejection schema, defense mechanism, and mental health in college students using structural equation modeling. The present study suggested a proposed model in which defense mechanism exerted a full mediating effect on the relation between disconnection and rejection schema and mental health. Goodness of fit tests were used to compare the proposed model against competing models. The subjects consisted of 304 college students. They completed the Young Schema Questionnaire(YSQ-SF), the Defense Style Questionnaire(DSQ), and the Mental Health Scale. The results showed that the second model had a better goodness of fit. Based on these findings, it is suggested that psychological interventions for mental health in college students should consider strategies to use more flexible and more adaptive defense mechanism style.

Purpose. This study examined the characteristics of fatigue and the relationship between fatigue and its related factors in Korean patients on hemodialysis. Methods. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 104 patients on hemodialysis in Seoul, Korea. Finding. Of a total of 104 subjects, eighty-one ($77.9\%$) complained of fatigue. Fatigue severity was measured by the self-rating Visual Analogue Scale-Fatigue (VAS-F) with a mean score of 36.5 (SD = 17.49, range 2 - 81). The mean duration of fatigue was 3.8 hours (SD = 5.3, range 0 - 24). Depression was most significantly correlated with fatigue (beta = .43, p<.00), with interdialytic weight gain (beta = .25, p<.05) being the second most significant correlate. Conclusion. This study shows that nursing interventions for patients who experience fatigue while on hemodialysis should be focused on both psychological problems, such as depression, as well as on physiological problems, such as interdialytic weight gain.

Objectives : Our objective was to examine and evaluate the psychological health of the residents of Taean during the cleanup of the Hebei Spirit(HS) oil spill and to review some factors associated with the results. Methods : A community survey of 71 men and women was conducted 8 weeks after the HS oil spill. Questionnaires used were the PWI(Psychological Well-being Index) scale for psychosocial distress, the CES-D(Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression) scale for depressive symptoms, and a questionnaire created to assess suicidal impulses. Results : The overall prevalence of high-risk psychosocial distress among the study group was 64.2%. The percentages of respondents with scores on the CES-D Scale above 16 and above 21 were 77.6% and 62.7%, respectively. The percentage of respondents categorized as having suicidal impulses was 18.3%. When compared with unexposed groups in the general population taken from various sources, the residents of Taean were 6.5 times as likely to have high stress and 9.4-9.7 times as likely to be depressed. No significant difference in the rate of suicidal impulse was found between the residents of Taean and the general population. Factors associated with high stress, depression, and suicidal impulses were age, a change in income, educational level, number of days working on the cleanup, and positive responses to questions about "affected daily activity" and "hospital visit due to work on cleanup". Conclusions : The results suggest that the HS oil spill had a significant impact on the psychological health of residents of Taean, but the comparability of the unexposed groups is a limitation of the study.

본 연구에서는 김정호 등의 동기상태이론에 기초해서, 주관적 웰빙의 인지적 요소의 측정으로 현재 대표적으로 사용되는 삶의 만족척도 외에 삶의 기대척도를 추가한 김정호(2007)의 연구를 확장하여 주관적 웰빙 측정의 보완을 다루었다. 본 연구에는 삶의 기대척도 외에 삶의 만족을 위한 동기의 강도를 측정하기 위해 삶의 동기척도를 포함하였다. 본 연구에는 모두 286명의 남녀 대학생이 참여하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 본 연구에서 주관적 웰빙의 구성요소로 삶의 만족과 삶의 기대가 독립적으로 구분이 되는지 보기 위해 각각의 측정에 사용되는 총 10 문항에 대해 요인분석을 실시한 결과 삶의 만족척도와 삶의 기대척도의 문항들이 두 개의 요인으로 잘 구분되었다. 특히 삶의 만족척도뿐만 아니라 삶의 기대척도도 별도의 집단을 통한 검사-재검사에서 좋은 신뢰도를 보였다. 둘째, 주관적 웰빙과 관련된 변인의 설명에 삶의 만족, 삶의 기대 및 삶의 동기가 유의한 예측변인인지를 알아보기 위해 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 전반적으로 삶의 만족이 주요한 예측변인이었고 삶의 기대가 추가적으로 유의한 예측변인이었다. 예외적으로 특성분노의 경우에는 삶의 동기가 주요한 예측변인이었다. 셋째, 삶의 동기, 삶의 만족 및 삶의 기대와 웰빙 관련 변인들간의 관계에서 남녀에 따른 차이를 살펴본 결과 우울, 특성불안, 특성분노, 부정정서 등의 설명에서 약간의 차이를 보였다. 끝으로 동기상태이론의 입장에서 주관적 웰빙의 측정에서 삶의 기대의 포함이 갖는 중요성과 본 연구의 제한점을 논의하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 한국사회가 고령화되고 있는 시점에서 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담과 사회지원이 건강 및 삶의 질과 어떤 관계가 있는지를 탐색하고, 부양자의 건강 및 삶의 질에 대한 부양부담과 사회지원의 상호작용을 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구의 참여자는 서울, 경기, 충청 지역에 거주하는 치매환자 가족부양자 207명(여: 106)이었으며, 그들의 평균 연령은 51.62(SD=9.25)세였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 심리검사는 다차원부양자부담설문지, 전겸구의 신체증상척도, 한덕웅과 장은영의 건강지각척도, 자기진술 부정정서질문지, Cambell의 주관안녕척도, MOS의 사회지원질문지, 권중돈의 치매노인 부적응문제척도이다. 분석 결과, 치매환자 가족부양자의 부양부담은 신체증상이나 우울과는 정적으로 건강지각이나 주관안녕과는 부적으로 관계하고 있었다. 사회지원은 치매환자 부양부담이 건강지각, 우울 및 주관안녕에 미치는 영향을 중재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 치매환자 부양에 따른 부정적 효과에 대해 완충 작용을 할 수 있는 것을 의미한다. 부양부담이 가족부양자의 신체증상과 우울의 변량을 30~40% 가량이나 설명하고 있었기 때문에 결과를 부양자의 건강이나 삶의 질의 중재를 중심으로 논의하였다. 사회지원이 부양부담 수준에 따라 다르게 작용하는 것 외에도 치매증상이 더 심각할 경우 사회지원이 적은 것 등과 관련해서도 선행연구를 바탕으로 논의하였다.
