Objective : Hospital workers' mental health has deteriorated because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of hospital workers and its determinants. Methods : Two surveys were conducted among employees working in a hospital that received COVID-19 patients from the early phase of the pandemic in South Korea. Data on demographics, perceived threat, workplace evaluation, resilience, and mental health status were collected using the Korean General Health Questionnaire-20 in the initial phase (February 2020) and during the third wave of COVID-19 (December 2020) for 467 and 545 workers, respectively. The mental health of hospital workers in the two phases was compared, and the risk and protective factors during the third wave were investigated. Results : The proportion of patients in the psychiatric high-risk group increased from 2.8% in the initial phase to 11.4% during the third wave. The perceived threat, workplace evaluation, and resilience of respondents deteriorated. Risk factors for mental health during the third wave included the perceived threat items of job stress, loss of control, and considering resignation. Protective factors included presence of children, workplace satisfaction, and hardiness in resilience. Conclusion : Hospital workers' mental health deteriorated as the pandemic progressed. General stress and tension such as job stress, loss of control, considering resignation rather than COVID-19-specific stress had negative effects on mental health of hospital workers. Therefore, care for work stress itself can be helpful to maintain the mental health of hospital workers. Also, governance to improve workplace satisfaction or hardiness in resilience can be a potential protective factor for hospital workers' mental health during the prolonged pandemic.

본 연구는 치위생과 학생들의 자아존중감, 학과 만족도, 진로 스트레스, 간이 정신 진단 검사를 시행하여 정신건강에 영향을 미치는 요인과 영향 관계를 파악함으로써, 치위생과 학생들이 안정적인 심리상태로 학교생활을 유지하기 위해서 효과적인 진로지도에 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 2013년 3월에서 5월까지 편의표본추출법을 적용하여 부산과 울산의 4개 대학교의 치위생과 여학생들을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하여 376부를 최종분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 정신건강에 영향력을 미치는 변수는 자아존중감이며 직접 효과가 있었다. 2. 자아존중감은 학과 만족도, 진로 스트레스, 정신건강에 영향을 미치며 직접 효과가 있었고, 진로 스트레스를 통해서 전달되는 간접효과도 있었다. 3. 학과 만족도는 진로 스트레스에 영향을 미치며 직접 효과가 있었지만, 학과 만족도와 진로 스트레스는 정신건강에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 치위생과 학생이 안정적인 심리상태로 학교생활을 유지하기 위해서는 올바른 자신의 가치관을 확립하여 전공 및 진로에 대한 확신을 갖고 뚜렷한 목표와 계획을 수립하여 교육과정에 임하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 따라서 체계적인 진로탐색 프로그램의 운영, 전문적인 개인 및 집단 대상의 심리상담 기회 제공 등 학생들의 정서적 지원에 대한 적극적인 논의가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: While the risk of depression is expected to substantially increase among older adults receiving community care, leisure life satisfaction can be regarded as a key component in enhancing the mental health of those receiving community care. However, it is not yet known whether community care utilization increases the risk of depression, or what role is played by leisure life satisfaction in these settings. This study investigated the relationship between community care utilization and depression, as well as the main effect and the moderating role of leisure life satisfaction on the link between community care utilization and depression among older adults. Methods: This study, using the 2019 Korean Welfare Panel Survey, conducted multiple regression analysis on data from 4494 elderly people aged 65 years or older. Results: After controlling for potential covariates, older community care recipients were more likely to report symptoms of depression than those who did not receive community care. Meanwhile, leisure life satisfaction was negatively associated with depression in older adults. The test for interaction between community care utilization and leisure life satisfaction revealed that leisure life satisfaction significantly attenuated the link between depression and community care utilization. Conclusions: The findings of this study imply that leisure life satisfaction could play a meaningful role in improving the mental health of older adults receiving community care. Welfare policies affecting older adults should consider leisure life satisfaction as an important resource for reducing depression in community care settings.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between test anxiety and mental health in adolescents. Method: The subjects were 450 students of two academic high schools in J City, who were selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected through a survey using a structured questionnaire from September 1st to 15th 2005. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0 for Windows through descriptive analysis, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and stepwise multiple regression. Result: The mean score of test anxiety was 2.40 (range:1.13-3.81) and that of mental health was 2.77 (range:0.64-5.03). A significant negative correlation was observed between test anxiety and mental health (r=-0.28, p=.000). Test anxiety was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as gender (t=-1.98, p=.048), grade (F=3.54, p=.030), school life satisfaction (F=10.73, p=.000) and relationship with the teacher (F=11.60, p=.000). Mental health was significantly different according to adolescents' general characters such as religion (t=2.14, p=.032) and school life satisfaction (F=4.13, p=.017). The most powerful predictor of mental health was test anxiety and it, combined with religion, accounted for 9.0% of variance in mental health in adolescents. Conclusion: Test anxiety and mental health was found to be in a significant negative correlation with each other in adolescents. Therefore, nursing intervention programs for adolescents needs to reduce their test anxiety to improve their mental health.

The main objective of palliative treatment for cancer patients has been to maintain, if not improve, the quality of life (QoL). There is a lack of local data on satisfaction and QoL among cancer patients receiving palliative treatment in Malaysia. This study covers patients with incurable, progressive cancer disease receiving palliative treatment in a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur, comparing the different components of QoL and correlations with patient satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey using Malay validated SF36 QoL and PSQ-18 (Short Form) tools was carried out between July 2012 -January 2013 with 120 cancer patients receiving palliative treatment, recruited into the study after informed consent using convenient sampling. Results showed that highest satisfaction were observed in Communication Aspect ($50.6{\pm}9.07$) and the least in General Satisfaction ($26.4{\pm}5.90$). The Mental Component Summary ($44.9{\pm}6.84$) scored higher when compared with the Physical Component Summary ($42.2{\pm}7.91$). In this study, we found that patient satisfaction was strongly associated with good quality of life among cancer patients from a general satisfaction aspect (r=0.232). A poor significant negative correlation was found in Physical Component (technical quality, r=-0.312). The Mental Component showed there was a poor negative correlation between time spent with doctor (r=-0.192) and accessibility, (r=-0.279). We found that feeling at peace and having a sense of meaning in life were more important to patients than being active or achieving good physical comfort. More studyis needed to investigate patients who score poorly on physical and mental component aspects to understand their needs in order to achieve better cancer care.

본 연구는 잠재평균분석을 통해 취업정신장애인의 근로시간 형태에 따른 지각된 낙인감, 심리적 역량강화, 직무만족의 차이를 알아보며, 지각된 낙인감과 직무만족 간의 구조적 관계에서 심리적 역량강화가 갖는 매개효과를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 취업한 정신장애인을 대상으로 낙인감, 심리적 역량강화, 직무만족 척도를 이용하여 설문조사 하였고, 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 낙인감과 직무만족 사이 그리고 심리적 역량강화와 직무만족 사이에 직접적인 영향관계가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 둘째, 심리적 역량강화는 낙인감과 직무만족의 영향관계에서 부분매개효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 잠재평균분석 결과, 전일제 근로 정신장애인이 지각된 낙인감 수준이 더 높고, 직무만족 수준이 더 낮은 것으로 나타났고, 시간제 근로 정신장애의 심리적 역량강화 수준이 전일제 근로 정신장애인보다 더 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 이 결과를 토대로 취업정신장애인의 근로시간 형태를 고려한 직무만족 향상, 낙인감 감소, 심리적 역량강화 방안들을 제안하였다.
