Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, caregiving performance, stress levels, and mental health of family caregivers of terminal cancer patients with delirium, insofar as these characteristics are relevant for delirium. Methods: Between May 1, 2019, and June 1, 2020, 96 family caregivers of terminal cancer patients with delirium completed a structured survey, the results of which were analyzed. Results: The average correct answer rate for delirium-related knowledge was 53.2% across all subcategories, which included knowledge of causes (41.5%), symptoms (65.4%), and caregiving (51.7%). The average score for family caregivers' performance of caregiving for delirium was 2.60±0.5, with subcategories including caregiving for patients without delirium (2.16±0.95), caregiving for patients with delirium (2.84±1.01), and stress related to caregiving for delirium (39.88±16.55), as well as categories such as patient-related caregiving (44.32±28.98), duty-related caregiving (44.21±30.15), and interpersonal relationship-related caregiving (22.35±25.03). For mental health, the average score among family caregivers was 1.96±0.70, with the highest score being for the category of additional items (2.28±0.84). Family caregivers of patients with hyperactive delirium as the delirium subtype had higher scores for caregiving performance than caregivers of patients with mixed delirium. Conclusion: Scores for the delirium-related knowledge and caregiving performance of family caregivers were low, while their caregiving stress levels were high due to their lack of knowledge and experience. This indicates the importance of delirium-related education for family members of patients with delirium and the necessity of developing nursing intervention programs to help manage stress and promote mental health among family caregivers.

이 연구의 목적은 우리나라 성인의 정신건강역량 수준을 파악하여 우울증과 정신분열병의 예방과 조기 개입을 위한 구체적 전략수립의 기초자료를 마련하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 수도권 80개 지역에서 층화표집된 18세 이상 74세 이하 지역사회 거주자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과(N=1,653), 우리나라 성인의 우울증과 정신분열병의 식별율은 각각 35.2%와 33.5%로 유사하게 나타났다. 반면에, 원인 지각, 증상 해결방법의 유용성에 대한 신념, 주요 정신건강 정보원에 있어서 우울증과 정신분열병 간에 특징적인 차이점들이 발견되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 유사한 외국 조사결과들과 비교 논의하고, 지역사회정신보건 예방사업에 주는 정책적, 실천적 시사점을 제시했다.

Aging populations and the increasing mental health issues among them have set a new challenge for the international community, governments, and people. Given this, society's role is very important, and involving the local community in resolving the problems can play a pivotal role. The current study presented the systematic review of the financing mechanism and cost-effectiveness of the "social prescribing" (SP) project in the United Kingdom and how SP can be adapted for other settings. The data showed comparatively low running costs and the overall effectiveness of SP projects. The running cost of SP projects varied between £54,525 and £1.1 million. The cost-effectiveness of the projects reported as 12% and the return of investment was about 50% depending on the type of analysis and the activities implemented. This type of intervention can be one of the options that support solving the issues of aging populations and their accompanying mental disorders.

연구목적: 본 연구는 청주시와 대전광역시에 소재한 7개의 종합병원에서 뇌졸중으로 진단받은 입원환자의 보호자 226명을 대상으로 부양부담감 및 우울감과 정신관련 삶의 질을 파악하고자 조사하였다. 연구방법: 자료 수집은 2015년 8월 5일부터 10월 5일까지이며 구조화된 설문지로 자기기입식 설문조사를 하였다. 조사대상자의 인구사회학적 특성, 건강관련 행위 특성 및 간병관련 특성, 부양부담감, 우울감에 따른 정신건강관련 삶의 질의 평균점수 비교는 t-test 및 ANOVA로 검정하였다. 단변량 분석에서 유의한 차이를 보인 변수를 독립변수로 하여 종속변수에 대한 독립변수들의 단계별 투입에 따른 설명력을 파악하기 위하여 위계적 다중회귀분석(hierarchial multiple regression)을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 정신관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 관련변수로는 환자와의 관계, '보호'에 대한 부담감, '개인적 희생'에 대한 부담감, 우울감이 유의한 변수로 선정되었다. 결론: 정신건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서는 건강관련행위특성, 간병관련 특성에 대한 제도적 보완과 더불어 부양부담감과 우울감을 적절하게 대응할 수 있는 중재프로그램의 개발 및 실시가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

이 연구의 목적은 기능손상 노인을 가정에서 돌보고 있는 주보호자의 자기 돌봄 활동이 주보호자 자신의 신체 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 탐색하고 사회복지 차원의 개입 방안을 모색하는데 있다. 조사대상자는 치매, 뇌졸중, 파킨스병 등의 진단을 받은 60세 이상의 부모 또는 배우자를 6개월 이상 가정에서 돌보고 있는 주보호자이며, 일대일 대인면접의 서베이 방식으로총 185명의 자료가 수집되었다. SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, 상관관계 분석, 위계적 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 주보호자의 주관적인 신체건강은 5점 만점에 평균 2.81점(SD=.93)의 부정적 수준으로 나타났으며, 자기 돌봄 활동 요인 중 건강 책임(${\beta}=-.244$, p<.01), 신체적 활동(${\beta}=-.198$, p<.05)이 유의미한 영향 요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, CES-D로 측정된 주보호자의 정신건강은 평균 26.38점(SD=10.53)으로서 임상적으로 매우 심한우울 수준으로 확인되었으며, 자기 돌봄 활동의 영적 성장(${\beta}=-.409$, p<.001)이 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 주보호자의 신체 정신건강 증진을 위한 자기 돌봄에 대한 인식 개선, 적극적인 자기 돌봄 여건 마련 등을 강조하는 실천적, 정책적인 제언을 제시하였다.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of digital therapeutics for insomnia on sleep disorders and mental health improvement compared to the control group. Methods: Following the guidelines on systematic review(PRISMA, NECA), a literature search was conducted through PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, RISS, KISS, and KoreaMed using keywords. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Review Manager version 5.3 were used for risk of bias and effect size assessment. Results: Thirty eight RCT met criteria for inclusion. When compared against three control conditions, the digital therapeutics for insomnia was an effective intervention for improvement sleep disorders and mental health in comparison to waiting list and Patient-directed care with some intervention by medical staff. However, digital therapeutics for insomnia were no more effective than face-to-face CBT-I control group. Conclusion: The efficacy of digital therapeutics for insomnia was evaluated differently depending on the control group. Therefore, in phase 3 clinical trials for efficacy evaluation, it is necessary to review whether the control group has been properly established.

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between oral health and suicide attempts in adults aged 19 years or older using the 7^th Korea National Health and Examination Survey (KHANES, 2016-2018). Methods: Of the 24,269 participants in the 7^th KHANES (2016-2018), 7,261 adults aged 19 years or older who had an oral health examination were selected. Complex samples crosstabulation (χ²-test) was performed to determine the rate of suicide ideation by general characteristics. Complex samples logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effects of oral health on suicide attempts. Results: Participants with gingivitis were 1.7 times more likely to receive mental health counseling (p<0.05) and 1.6 times more likely to attempt suicide (p<0.05). Conclusions: Oral health is significantly associated with suicide attempts in adults aged 19 years or older, and this emphasizes the importance of oral health management as an intervention for preventing suicide and improving the health of adults.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the motivational interviewing (MI) dementia preventive intervention on dementia preventive behaviors, depression and cognitive function among elderly over 75 years of age in nursing homes. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 57 participants were divided into three groups; 18 in the MI dementia preventive intervention (Group A), 20 in the dementia preventive program (Group B) and 19 in the control group. Dementia preventive behaviors, depression, and cognitive function were assessed at pre, post, and 1 month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: The results reported that there were significant differences in dementia preventive behaviors and depression among Group A, B, and C. Also, there were significant differences in dementia preventive behaviors and cognitive function during time periods. There was a significant interaction between groups and times in relation to depression. Results suggested that the effects of MI dementia preventive program was persistent after 1 month following the intervention. Conclusion: Further research needs to develop dementia preventive programs considering physical and mental traits of the elderly in late years staying at nursing homes.
