Objectives: Emotional support and a stress management program should be simultaneously provided to clients as effective preventive services for healthy behavioral change. This study was conducted to review various relaxation and meditation intervention methods and their applicability for a preventive service program. Methods and results: The author of this paper tried to find various relaxation and meditation programs through a literature review and program searching and to introduce them. The 'Relaxation Response' and 'Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)' are the most the widely used meditative programs in mainstream medical systems. Abdominal breathing, Progressive Musclular Relaxation (PMR), Relaxative Imagery, Autogenic Training (AT) and Biofeedback are other well-known techniques for relaxation and stress management. I have developed and implemented some programs using these methods. Relaxation and meditation classes for cancer patients and a meditation based stress coping workshop are examples of this program. Conclusions: Relaxation and meditation seem to be good and effective methods for primary, secondary and tertiary preventive service programs. Program development and standardization and further study are needed for more and wider use of the mindbody approach in the preventive service area of medicine.

Treatment of schizophrenia has as its ultimate goals, the functional recovery of the patients and improvement of their quality of life. While antipsychotic medication is the fundamental method for treating schizophrenia, it has certain limitations in terms of treating the illness beyond its positive symptoms. Therefore, psychosocial intervention should be used in tandem with pharmacological methods in treating schizophrenia. The efficacy of several modes of psychosocial intervention for improving outcomes in schizophrenia is well attested. Approximately 10 modes of psychosocial intervention have been recommended based on existing evidence, including family intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, supported employment, early intervention services, lifestyle intervention for physical health enhancement, treatment of comorbid substance abuse, assertive community treatment, cognitive remediation, social skills training, and peer support. Ideally, these interventions are offered to patients in combination with one another. Over the last decade, increased emphasis has been placed on early detection and intervention, with particular focus on long-term recovery. Early intervention with comprehensive psychosocial interventions should be enacted promptly from the initial detection of schizophrenia.

Objective: The study evaluated the impact of pharmacist inventions with the implementation of pharmacistinvolved nutritional support service at neonate intensive care unit in a tertiary teaching hospital. Method: A retrospective and observational study was carried out. The total of 58 infants in neonate intensive care unit was enrolled between January 2011 and October 2012. The pharmacist-involved total parenteral nutritional program was initiated in June of 2012. During the program, pharmacist actively participated in the multidisciplinary round with performing the interventions from reviewing the amount of combined total parenteral nutrition and enteral fluid intakes, the amount of total calories, the glucose infusion rate, and the amounts of proteins per weight in kilogram. The outcome was compared with the results from the control group which reflected the prior period of the program initiation. Result: The number of days of regaining birth weight was significantly shorter (14.5 vs. 19 days, p=0.049) and the percentage of total calorie days with >90 kcal/kg/day was increased significantly (40 vs. 13%, p=0.008) in intervention group compared to the values in control group. In addition, the total mean daily caloric intakes ($84.78{\pm}13.8$ vs. $74.86{\pm}15.36$ kcal/kg/day, p=0.018) was significantly higher in intervention group than those results in control group. There were no significant differences in safety parameters between two groups related to nutritional services of necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, proven sepsis, and also parenteral nutrition-induced hepatotoxicity. Conclusion: Pharmacist-involved total parenteral nutrition managed program was successfully implemented. The outcome showed the improved effectiveness of total parenteral nutrition with pharmacist interventions and no differences in adverse reactions. This could prove the positive effects of pharmacist involvement on nutritional therapy for neonate population.

소아청소년에서의 정신신체의학은 자문조정 정신의학이라고도 불리며 신체적 질환이 있는 소아청소년에서의 정신건강 서비스를 제공하는 것으로, 정신과에서는 정신사회학적 질병모델에 익숙한 반면 타과 의료진의 경우 생의학적 질병모델에 입각하여 접근하기 때문에 원활한 의사소통을 통한 타과 의료진과의 협업 체계 구축이 중요하다. 신체질환이 있는 소아청소년의 정신과적 문제에 대해서는 개별 질환에 초점을 맞추고 의학적 심리적 정신과적 인자들의 상호작용과 그 영향을 밝히는 범주적 접근법과 질병에 걸렸다는 사실로 인하여 스트레스를 경험하는 아동 자체에 대한 접근에 주안점을 두는 비범주적 접근법으로 나눌 수 있다. 이러한 신체질환이 있는 소아청소년의 치료에 그들의 발달단계에 맞는 고유한 치료기법의 적용이 필요하다. 비약물학적인 치료의 경우 경험적으로 입증된 치료(empirically supportive therapy)들을 구분하려는 시도도 이루어지고 있다.

Ginseng is a traditional herbal medicine used for prevention and treatment of various diseases as a tonic. Recent scientific cohort studies on life prolongation with ginseng consumption support this record, as those who consumed ginseng for more than 5 years had reduced mortality and cognitive decline compared to those who did not. Clinical studies have also shown that acute or long-term intake of ginseng total extract improves acute working memory performance or cognitive function in healthy individuals and those with subjective memory impairment (SMI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or early Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia who are taking AD medication(s). Ginseng contains various components ranging from classical ginsenosides and polysaccharides to more recently described gintonin. However, it is unclear which ginseng component(s) might be the main candidate that contribute to memory or cognitive improvements or prevent cognitive decline in older individuals. This review describes recent clinical contributors to ginseng components in clinical tests and introduces emerging evidence that ginseng components could be novel candidates for cognitive improvement in older individuals, as ginseng components improve SMI cognition and exhibits add-on effects when coadministered with early AD dementia drugs. The mechanism behind the beneficial effects of ginseng components and how it improves cognition are presented. Additionally, this review shows how ginseng components can contribute to SMI, MCI, or early AD dementia when used as a supplementary food and/or medicine, and proposes a novel combination therapy of current AD medicines with ginseng component(s).

목적 : 본 연구는 COVID-19 발생 상황에서 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질을 알아보고 이에 따라 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질 간의 관련성을 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 : 2022년 2월 21일부터 3월 21일까지 경상지역 3개의 광역도시에 소재한 장애인 복지관, 재활병원, 아동발달센터에서 치료 서비스를 이용하고 있는 만 13세 미만 장애아동 자녀를 둔 부모 242명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 결과 : 장애아동 부모의 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질의 상관관계를 확인한 결과 삶의 질은 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 음의 상관관계로 나타났다. 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 결과 스트레스는 교육 수준, 월 소득에서 유의미한 차이가 있었고 불안은 자녀양육시간, 교육 수준, 직업 유무, 교통수단, 월 소득에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며 우울과 삶의 질은 자녀양육시간, 교육 수준, 직업 유무, 월 소득에서 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 결론 : 장애아동 부모의 일반적 특성에 따른 스트레스, 불안, 우울과 삶의 질의 관련성을 확인하였다. 장애아동의 사회적 거리두기 및 방역수칙은 장애아동의 교육과 치료의 기회를 제한시켰고 이로 인해 다양한 어려움을 가지는 장애아동을 양육하는 부모의 스트레스, 불안 및 우울에 미친 영향을 고려해 볼 수 있다. COVID-19 발생 상황 뿐만 아니라 또 다른 재난 상황을 대비하여 장애아동 부모의 스트레스, 불안, 우울을 관리하고 삶의 질을 증진 시킬 수 있는 지원 서비스 개발의 기초 자료로 제공하는데 의의를 갖는다.
