Objectives Social workers can suffer from occupational stress resulting from dealing with clients, which might lead to metal health problems. We aimed to investigate the association of duty-related traumatic experiences and stress coping strategies with post-traumatic stress symptoms among social workers in public sector. Methods A total of 110 social workers in public sector (men 30.9%, $36.5{\pm}7.6$ yrs) participated in this study. All subjects were evaluated the frequency and the impact of duty-related traumatic events. Additionally, they completed questionnaires including the Impact of Event Scale-Revised for post-traumatic stress symptoms, the Beck Depression Inventory-II for depressive symptoms, the Scale for Suicidal Ideation for suicide symptoms and the Ways of Coping Checklist for stress coping strategies. Results The most frequent traumatic events were "Violent or abusive language from a client" (95.0%) and "Client made a fuss" (94.5%). The most distressing traumatic event was "Seeing a dead body on duty" (7.6 out of 10), which predicted post-traumatic stress symptoms (odds ratio 4.04 ; 95% confidence interval, 1.79-9.11). Among 4 types of stress coping strategies, the emotion-focused coping was positively correlated with post-traumatic stress symptoms after controlling age and sex (${\beta}$ = 0.50, p < 0.001). Conclusions Social workers in public sector showed high level of post-traumatic stress symptoms. Duty-related traumatic events and the emotional-focused coping strategies were associated with the severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms. The modification of stress coping strategies would alleviate post-traumatic stress symptoms in social workers in public sector.

Global climate change is becoming one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. This article proposes a psychological perspective of climate change adaptation. Climate change-related severe adverse weather events may trigger mental health problems, including increased post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, violence, and even suicide. Forced migration could be considered a coping method for dealing with weather events, but it may also pose a psychological threat. People respond to severe weather events in different ways based on their individual characteristics. Psychological risks from adverse weather events are mediated and moderated by these factors, which are influenced by personal cognition, affect, and motivation. Examinations from a psychological perspective, which have been neglected in the science of climate change thus far, may provide keys to successful adaptation and the prevention of serious psychological problems resulting from the experience of severe weather events. A new prevention strategy has been suggested for coping with climate threats through encouraging attitude change, establishing proactive support systems for vulnerable groups, establishing a PTSD network, and implementing a stress inoculation program.

Objective : The objective of this study is to determine the effects of fear of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) on socio-psychological health during an outbreak of MERS and the post-traumatic stress as a mediator on the relationship between stress and socio-psychological health. Methods : Visual Analog Scale, Impact of Event Scale -Revised, Psychosocial well-being index short form was implemented for 150 medical persons who worked at the hospital in which exposure to MERS cases had been confirmed and 96 ordinary people. A Pearson correlation coefficient and a hierarchical multiple regression was carried out to confirm the effect of fear of MERS and the mediating effect of post-traumatic stress between fear and socio-psychological health. Results : The higher the fear, the lower the socio-psychological health in both healthcare workers and the public (r=0.32, p<0.01) and the higher post-traumatic stress (r=0.32, p<0.01). But, the research results showed that only healthcare workers had a partially mediating effect of post-traumatic stress in the relationship between fear and socio-psychological health (${\beta}=0.45$, t=6.33 p<0.001), (${\beta}$ value : 0.39>0.26). Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the post-traumatic stress can indirectly lead to a negative effect on the socio-psychological health of healthcare workers when under the fear of MERS and shows adverse effects on psycho-social wellbeing. This suggests that clinical intervention and psycho-social approach aiming at reducing post-traumatic stress is important to maintain mental health during crisis development.

COVID-19가 중국에서 전파된 이후에 중국의 의료 종사자들은 지속해서 감염될 위험과 강도 높은 업무로 인해 직무스트레스를 받고 있다. 이러한 문제는 심리적 웰빙이 감소시키는 주요 원인이다. 심리적 웰빙은 구성원의 행동에 영향을 미치고 직무성과가 영향을 줄 수 있다. 진정성 리더십은 구성원의 심리적 웰빙을 높일 수 있다. 그래서 본 연구는 구성원의 심리적 웰빙에 초점을 맞추고 진정성 리더십은 구성원들의 심리적 웰빙에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 상사와 의 갈등과 직무스트레스의 매개 역할을 규명하고 매개효과를 검증하였다. 이를 검증하기 위해 본 연구는 의료기관에 근무하는 314명의 구성원을 대상으로 실증연구를 하였다. 분석결과를 통해 진정성 리더십이 구성원의 심리적 웰빙을 높이는 과정에서 직무스트레스가 부정적 매개효과로 작용해 웰빙에 영향을 미친다. COVID-19 시대 맥락에서 본 연구는 의료진의 심리적 웰빙을 개선함으로써 그들의 심리적 웰빙의 수준을 향상하게 시키는 데 도움이 된다.

People are constantly exposed to stress and anxiety environment, which could contribute to a variety of psychological and physical health problems. Therefore, it is particularly important to identify psychological stress in time and to find a feasible and universal method of stress reduction. This research investigated the influence of different music, such as relaxation music and natural rhythm music, on stress relief based on Electroencephalogram signals. Mental arithmetic test was implemented to create a stressful environment. 23 participants performed the mental arithmetic test with and without music respectively, while their Electroencephalogram signal was recorded. The effect of music on stress relief was verified through stress test questionnaires, including Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) and Self-Stress Assessment. There was a significant change in the stress test questionnaire values with and without music according to paired t-test (p<0.01). Furthermore, a model based on Transformer for stress level classification from Electroencephalogram signal was proposed. Experimental results showed that the method of listening to relaxation music and natural rhythm music achieved the effect of reducing psychological stress and the proposed model yielded a promising accuracy in classifying the Electroencephalogram signal of mental stress.

본 연구는 소방대원의 직무 관련 스트레스, 문제해결양식과 심리적 디스트레스의 관계를 검증하고 직무관련 스트레스, 문제해결양식이 심리적 디스트레스에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 소방대원의 스트레스의 심각도를 측정하는 스트레스 척도, 문제해결양식 척도 그리고 정신진단척도를 사용하여 스트레스의 양상, 문제해결양식과 심리적 디스트레스 간의 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 상관분석 결과, 두 가지 직무 관련 스트레스와 심리적 디스트레스가 정적인 상관을 보이며, 문제해결양식의 무기력감과 문제에 대한 통제감이 심리적 디스트레스와 정적인 상관관계를 나타내고, 문제해결에 대한 자신감과 접근적 문제해결양식은 심리적 디스트레스와 부적인 상관관계를 보였다. 직무관련 스트레스와 문제해결양식이 심리적 디스트레스를 예측하는 정도를 파악하기 위해 시행한 중다회귀 분석결과, 직무 관련 스트레스 중에 부정적 인지와 정서, 문제해결양식 중에는 무기력감과 접근적 문제해결양식이 심리적 디스트레스에 유의한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 문제해결양식 중 무기력감이 심리적 디스트레스를 가장 크게 예측하였는데, 이는 직면한 문제를 효율적으로 해결하지 못한 것에 대한 자책과 함께 직업적 자존감(selfesteem)까지 저하시켜, 효율적인 직무수행에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다.

본 연구는 노인들의 일상스트레스와 사회적 지지가 심리적 복지감에 미치는 영향을 살펴봄으로써 노인들의 심리적 복지감 증진에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 주요연구결과는 다음과 같다. 노인의 심리적 복지감에는 일상적 스트레스 중에 가족관계와 건강문제, 그리고 상실감이 통계적으로 유의미한 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤고, 사회적 지지 중에는 정서적 지지와 친구지지가 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 노인들의 심리적 복지감 향상을 위해서는 노인들이 일상생활 속에서 겪게 되는 다양한 스트레스에 대처하고, 노인들의 심리적 안정을 위한 다양한 프로그램이 개발 보급되어야 한다. 또한 노인들이 지역사회에서 친구와 함께 할 수 있는 프로그램 개발과 정서적 지지 강화 방안이 마련될 것이다.
