Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious problem not only among workers who experience industrial accidents but also among workers who witness such accidents. Early intervention is needed to prevent prolonged psychological problems. There has been no study conducted regarding the psychological problems of and interventions for bystander workers in Korea. This study introduces the experience of intervention on psychological problems at the Busan Workers' Health Center workers who witnessed their colleagues' death. An investigation and an intervention were conducted according to the Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) Guide. In total, 21 individuals including indirect observers showed statistical differences on scores of the Impact Event Scale Revised and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 after the intervention. Future interventions and research involving a larger sample size over a longer period are needed. The KOSHA Guide could be a useful tool for urgent psychological intervention in the event of major workplace disasters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of spiritual intervention studies by examining biological, psychological, and spiritual outcomes. Methods: From electronic databases 2522 studies were retrieved, of which 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies had 1411 participants. Two authors independently extracted data from the selected studies and assessed the methodological quality. The data were analyzed using the RevMan 5.1 program of the Cochrane library. Results: Overall effect size of spiritual intervention on spiritual and psychological (depression and anxiety) outcomes were moderate (d= -0.65 to d= -0.76, p<.001). The effects on biological outcomes (pain and functional status) ranged from -0.51 to -0.39, respectively. No publication bias was detected as evaluated by a funnel plot. Spiritual intervention had a moderate effect on psychological and spiritual outcomes and a smaller effect on biological outcomes. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that spiritual intervention can relieve depression and anxiety. Further randomized controlled trials studies are needed to evaluate the effects of spiritual intervention on biological outcomes.

Methods : This study included 25 older people recruited from the Jeju 4·3 Trauma Center. The intervention was conducted on a once-a-week basis for six weeks. All participants completed self-report questionnaires, including the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form (FFMQ) and Positive Resources Test (POREST). Results : This intervention significantly improved the total score and the nonreactivity, observing, acting with awareness, describing, and nonjudging of inner experience FFMQ scores.

본 연구는 골관절염 환자의 통증 감소를 위한 심리적 중재의 효과를 메타 분석한 연구로 심리적 중재 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법으로는 PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid-MEDLINE, CINAHL, Korean database에서 2018년 12월 30일까지 발표된 국내 외 문헌을 검색하였고, 심리적 중재의 효과 크기를 파악하기 위해 R version 3.5.1 프로그램을 이용하였다. 그 결과 총 1,822편의 문헌에서 총 1,847명의 참가자를 가진 12편의 연구가 최종 분석되었다. 분석결과로는 골관절염 환자에게 통증 감소를 위한 심리적 중재의 전체 효과크기는 -0.31(95% CI:-0.50, -0.11)로 작은 정도의 유효한 효과를 보였다(p<.001). 조절효과 분석에서는 중재 종류, 중재 기간, 중재 제공자에 따른 효과크기가 유효한 차이를 나타냈다. funnel plot 분석으로 출판오류를 분석하였고, 시각적으로 비대칭이었으나 egger's regression test 후 비대칭이 아님을 확인하였다(bias= -3.24, p=.077). 본 연구의 결과는 메타분석에 포함된 연구의 수가 적기는 하나 골관절염 환자의 주요 증상인 통증 문제를 개선하기 위한 심리적 중재의 표준을 제시하였고 중재 종류, 중재 기간, 중재 제공자에 대한 임상적 근거를 마련하였다.

본 논문에서는 대형 사고나 자연재해 등 외상적 사건 발생 후 초기의 심리적 중재방법 중의 하나로 제공되어온 심리적 경험보고(psychological debriefing)의 대표적 모델들에 대해 소개하고, 그 효과에 대한 논란들에 대해 살펴보았다. 심리적 경험보고의 효과에 대해서는 기존의 경험적 연구들을 바탕으로 일관된 결론을 이끌어 내기가 어렵다. 현재로서는 CISD 등의 기법들에 대해 지적되어온 관련 문제들을 고찰하여 위기 현장에서 심리적 경험보고를 올바르게 사용하기 위한 방법을 모색하는 것이 중요하며, 논의 부분에 이를 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model of health behavior compliance among patients with percutaneous coronary intervention based on self-determination theory. Methods: A total of 227 participants who received follow-up care after percutaneous coronary intervention were recruited. A structured questionnaire was used to assess health providers' autonomous support, basic psychological needs, autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, type D personality, and health behavior compliance. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 program. Results: The final hypothetical model showed a good fitness with data: GFI=.94, RMSEA=.07, CFI=.96, NFI=.92, TLI=.94. The results revealed that autonomous support of health care providers, basic psychological needs, and autonomous motivation, and D-type personality accounted for 51.8% of health behavior compliance. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that enhanced autonomous support of health care providers is essential to promote patients' basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation. This leads to maximized compliance to the health behaviors among patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. We recommend that health care institutions establish various measures to foster the special environments in which health care providers can actively provide and utilize autonomous support for their patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of aroma foot baths on stress and sleep in terminally ill cancer patients. Methods: We performed a non-randomized intervention-control study with 30 terminal cancer patients who were admitted to a palliative care unit. Participants responded to questionnaires on stress and sleep before and after a 5-day interval. The intervention group received a daily aroma foot bath for 5 days. We performed multivariate regression analysis to examine the changes in outcomes on stress and sleep for the intervention group compared to the control group. Results: The differences in baseline characteristics between groups, excluding subjective economic status and general weakness, did not show statistical significance. In contrast to the control group, the intervention group showed a statistically significant change in physical stress and psychological stress levels, but significant changes were not observed in quality of sleep. Compared to the control group, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in physical stress (P=0.068) and psychological stress (P=0.021). Conclusion: Aroma foot baths are effective for reducing stress in patients hospitalized with terminal cancer.
