This report describes the long term safety and efficacy of intrathecal therapy using Sufentanil for the management of chronic intractable neuropathic pain in 12 chronic pain patients. Standardized psychological screening was used to determine treatment suitability. Evaluation data included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Wong-Baker Faces Scale, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire, and complications (granulomas, toxicity, withdrawal, or deaths). SPSS version 18 was used for data analysis. Pre- and post- treatment BPI measures and pain scale scores showed a statistically significant difference. There were no complications directly related to drug toxicity, nor drug withdrawals, granulomas, or deaths. Intrathecal therapy with Sufentanil therapy offers a good treatment alternative for those cases that have failed both surgery and standard pain treatment. Strict patient selection based on psychological screening, control of co-morbidities, a proper pain management may contribute to successful outcome.

Distress in patients with digestive cancers can considerably impact not only their treatment adherence but also their health-related quality of life. Early distress recognition in patients, appropriate interventions by the oncology team, or referral to mental health professionals, can enhance the treatment efficiency. This review aims to provide an overview of distress evaluation and its management in patients with cancer, specifically digestive cancers, and to address the psychological responses and distress that occur in those patients during treatment. Furthermore, the review will introduce possible psychological interventions for patients with digestive cancers who experience significant distress, depending on the duration and planning of the treatment.

본 연구는 인간의 상호관계성 혹은 인간의 사회화과정이 오늘날의 시각디자인에 어떻게 관여되고 있는가를 사회학적, 심리학적인 이론을 바탕으로 규명할 목적으로 작성되었다. 먼저 인간의 사회화에 대한 생리학과 철학, 그리고 심리학적인 근거를 고찰하였고 이들이 시각디자인에 구체적으로 어떻게 작용하는가를 사례연구를 통하여 분석하였으며, 분석된 결과를 결론으로 도출하였다. 문헌연구를 통하여 얻어낸 인간의 사회화과정의 심리요인은 성적쾌락추구를 비롯하여 11개로 정리되었고, 이를 도구 삼아 1994년부터 2003년까지 대한민국광고대상 수상작 40편의 인쇄매체광고디자인을 분석하였다. 분석된 결과는 생물학적인 기초로서의 적응가치와 문화적 각인항에 사례의 대부분이 반응하고 있었음이 발견되었고, 광고가 지니고 있는 기본적인 존립근거로는 사회적 불안심리로서의 상호불신과 대가행렬에 바탕을 두고 있었음이 발견되었다. 이는 앞으로의 광고 역시 오늘날과 같은 존재이유를 지니는 한, 적응가치, 문화적 각인, 사회학습, 모방학습 등에 기초할 수밖에 없음을 시사하는 것이다.

Objectives : Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) can be divided into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) related NCCP and non-GERD related NCCP. Our study was designed to examine the differences in clinical characteristics and psychological mood states between the two clinical syndromes. Methods : After some cardiologic evaluations such as treadmill exercise, coronary angiography, and echocardiography, 27 patients with NCCP were enrolled in this study. They were divided into patients with GERD related NCCP (12 patients) and those with non-GERD related NCCP (15 patients) using the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and the ambulatory 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring. Clinical characteristics such as typical reflux symptoms and psychological mood states were measured. Patients who showed scores more than 10 on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) or Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were defined as depressed or anxious group. Anxiety sensitivity Index (ASI) was also measured in all patients. All parameters were compared between patients with GERD related NCCP and those with non-GERD related NCCP. Results : The two groups showed a difference in typical reflux symptoms. Patients with non-GERD related NCCP had higher scores on the BDI, BAI and ASI than those with GERD related NCCP. Among all NCCP patients, 14 patients (51.9%) were suggested to have possible depression or anxiety disorders. Conclusion : The non-GERD related NCCP was shown to be associated with psychological mood states such as anxiety and depression. Thus, we suggest that routine measurement of psychological mood states should be necessary in the evaluation and treatment of NCCP.

정부교육기관의 조사에 따르면 학습부진아에 대한 학습 지원이 절실한 상황이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 학습 스타일 심리검사를 이용하여 부진아에게 맞는 학습방법으로 학습을 지원하는 부진아 학습 지원 시스템을 구축하였다. 제안한 시스템은 첫째, 부진아의 특성으로 구성된 의사결정트리와 사전평가가 점수를 통하여 부진아를 진단한다. 둘째, 부진아로 판단된 학생은 학습 스타일 심리검사를 실시하여 강의형 학습(청각형), 멀티미디어형 학습(시각형), 게임형 학습(촉각형) 방법 중에 한 형태의 학습방법으로 학습을 지원한다. 셋째, 사후평가를 통하여 학업성취도를 학인하고 학업성취도가 낮은 학생에 대해서는 교수자와의 일대일 개별지도를 지원한다. 제안한 시스템을 사용하여 학습부진아를 실험집단과 비교집단으로 나누어 학습을 검증한 결과 학습 스타일 심리검사를 실시하여 학습을 했을 경우의 학습성취도가 평균 10% 향상되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 실내조경공간에서의 수경시설의 도입이 이용자의 심리 및 생리에 미치는 효과를 정량적으로 분석하는 것이었다. 실험을 위해 실내에 식물로 구성된 조경공간과 수경시설이 추가된 조경공간을 조성하였다. 피험자에게 스트레스를 부여하고, 각각의 공간에서 휴식을 취하게 한 뒤 생리 및 심리적 변화를 비교한 결과, 수경시설이 설치된 조경공간에서 휴식을 취했을 때가 수축기 확장기 혈압이 유의하게 낮아졌다. SD법에 의한 의미평가에서도 수경시설이 설치된 공간이 '활기'와 '동적임', '생명력'과 '유쾌함' 등과 같은 긍정적인 의미를 주는 것으로 나타났으며, POMS(Profile of Mood States)에서는 수경요소가 심리적으로 피로 감소 및 활력 증강에 기여하였다. 이를 통해 실내조경에서 수경시설의 도입은 혈압 감소라는 생리적 변화에 기여하며, 심리 및 기분변화에도 긍정적인 효과를 보임으로써 건강에 편익을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in clinical signs and symptoms, and psychological profiles of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) between juvenile and adult patients. Methods: Two-hundred eighty-three TMJ OA patients who visited the Orofacial Pain Clinic of Seoul National University Dental Hospital were classified by juvenile (153 patients; mean age $14.2{\pm}1.7$ years, range 9-16 years) and adult (130 patients; mean age $34.0{\pm}2.8$ years, range 30-40 years) groups, and compared the clinical symptoms based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) axis I guidelines including Graded Chronic Pain (GCP) scale, mandibular range of motion, and the associated symptoms. Psychological profiles were also evaluated using the Symptom Checklist 90-Revision (SCL-90-R). Results: Juvenile patients reported lower pain intensity and a lower prevalence of headache and clenching than adult patients. Their mandibular range of motion was also higher than adult patients. Juvenile patients showed a lower percentage of patients with T-score above 50 in somatization (SOM), obsessive-compulsive (O-C), interpersonal sensitivity (I-S), and paranoid ideation (PAR) than adults. Based on the GCP scale, the percentage of the high disability group was lower in juveniles. Conclusions: Juvenile TMJ OA patients generally showed milder clinical symptoms than adults. Adult patients showed higher prevalence of psychological problems and higher disability than juvenile patients. Age should be considered in evaluation and treatment of TMJ OA patients to achieve better treatment results and understanding its pathophysiology.

Since 1998 when economic assistance from IMF started, the empirical research on the effects of unemployment and drastic income loss on psychological functioning among the unemployed as well as their family members has increased. These studies have found that unemployment and drastic income loss following unemployment have significant negative influence on the psychological outcomes such as anxiety and depression of the unemployed and their family members. Studies have also focused on the role of social support in this process, and reported that depending on the levels of received social support, unemployment and income loss have differential effects on the psychological aspects of the unemployed. However, these studies have several weaknesses. First, most of the related studies employed the data which were collected from limited regions of the country, which imposes limitations on the scope of the generalizability of research findings. Second, the main independent variables used in these studies were mainly unemployment or income loss, which ignore the psychological evaluation by the employed of their family financial situations. Third, in analyzing the moderating effects of social support, most studies have focused mainly on showing the existence of moderating effects by social support. Consequently, the nature and role of social support remained unanalyzed and left to speculations. The purpose, of this study is to examine the effects of economic pressure experienced by family heads who were unemployed and to analyze the moderating role of social support based on a nationally representative sample. The findings showed that economic pressure has negative influence on anxiety and depressive feelings among the unemployed, and that the effect of economic pressure on depressive feelings were substantially higher among those who have received lower levels of social support from family members than that among those with higher levels of family support.
