본 연구는 노년기의 노년초월, 가족지지, 사회적지지, 자아존중감, 죽음불안의 정도와 이들 간의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 서울시 거주 만 60세 이상 성인 50명을 대상으로 구조화된 질문지를 이용하여 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 도출하였다. 일반적 특성 중 연령은 사회적지지와 죽음불안과 관계가 있었으며, 결혼상태는 가족지지와 연관이 있었고, 생활만족은 가족지지와 관련이 있었다. 노년초월과 죽음불안이 상관관계가 있었으며, 가족지지와 자아존중감과 상관관계가 있었고, 사회적 지지는 자아존중감과 죽음불안과 상관관계가 있었다. 결론적으로 이 연구를 통하여 노년기의 노년초월은 죽음불안과 연관이 있음이 밝혀졌으며, 노년기의 가족지지가 자아존중감과 생활만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 향후의 연구에서는 성인후기의 집단을 대상으로 노년초월의 정도, 생활만족과 노년초월의 관계 등을 포함한 연구들이 진행될 필요성을 가지고 있다.

Purpose: Besides depression and anxiety, recently pain catastrophizing has been emphasized for an important psychological factor explaining pain response in various pain conditions including temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The aims of this study were to evaluate pain catastrophizing of TMD patients and to investigate how the level of pain catastrophizing related with clinical variables and psychometric morbidity. Methods: Inclusion criterion was all new TMD patients ${\geq}18$ years old attending the Department of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine of Dankook University Dental Hospital (Cheonan, Korea) over three-month period in 2014, who completed questionnaires. The questionnaires included the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and Symptom Check List- 90-Revised (SCL-90-R). All of them were examined clinically and diagnosed. Results: One hundred fifty five patients diagnosed as TMDs were participated in this study (mean age of $38.7{\pm}15.2$ years, male:female=1:2.5). Mean PCS score of the patients was 17.3 with standard deviation of 12.6. By the median of the PCS score (i.e., 15), the subjects were categorized into the high (${\geq}15$) and low catastrophizers (<15). Increased pain severity and interference and increased score of psychological features of SCL-90-R were found in the TMD patients with higher level of catastrophizing (p<0.001) and there was weak to moderate correlation between those factors (p<0.05). Difference in catastrophizing level was not found for other variables such as age, gender, duration of pain, education level and types of TMDs. Conclusions: Conclusively, pain catastrophizing of TMD patients relates positively to pain severity and pain interference. In addition to depression and anxiety, pain catastrophizing is positively correlated with variable other psychological morbidity such as somatization, obsessive- compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. Types of TMD diagnosis do not seem to affect catastrophizing level. The results of this study suggest that pain catastrophizing should be emphasized and assessed in the TMD patients.

Background: In South Korea, the number of cases of dental treatment for the disabled is gradually increasing, primarily at regional dental clinics for the disabled. This study investigated pediatric patients at a treatment clinic for the disabled within a university hospital who received dental treatment under general anesthesia. This data could assist those that provide dental treatment for the disabled and guide future treatment directions and new policies. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of 263 cases in which patients received dental treatment under general anesthesia from January 2011 to May 2016. The variables examined were gender, age, reason for anesthesia, type of disability, time under anesthesia, duration of treatment, type of procedure, treatment details, and annual trends in the use of general anesthesia. Results: Among pediatric patients with disabilities who received dental treatment under general anesthesia, the most prevalent age group was 5-8 years old (124 patients, 47.1%), and the primary reason for administering anesthesia was dental anxiety or phobia. The mean time under anesthesia was $132.7{\pm}77.6min$, and the mean duration of treatment was $101.9{\pm}71.2min$. The most common type of treatment was restoration, accounting for 158 of the 380 treatments performed. Conclusions: Due to increasing demand, the number of cases of dental treatment performed under general anesthesia is expected to continue increasing, and it can be a useful method of treatment in patients with dental anxiety or phobia.

본 연구의 목적은, 선택적 serotonin 재흡수 차단제(selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors : SSRI)로서 불안증상을 동반한 비정신병적 우울증에 효과적인 치료제로 알려지고 있는 paroxetine의 항우울 및 항불안 효과를 검증하고, 성별 및 연령별로 효과의 차이를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 8~55세 사이의 우울신경증 환자 232명을 대상으로 paroxetine과 위약을 이중맹 교차방식으로 투여한 후, 우울 및 불안 증상의 호전도를 Hamilton Depression Scale(HDS)과 Hamilton Anxeity Scale(HAS)로 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) HDS로 측정된 우울증상에 대해, 성별 및 연령별로 구분된 8개 대상군에서 모두 paroxetine이 위약에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 호전 효과를 보였다. 2) HAS로 측정된 불안증상에 대해서도, 성별 및 연령별로 구분된 8개 대상군에서 모두 paroxetine이 위약에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 호전 효과를 보였다. 3) 위약과 비교시, paroxetine의 항우울 효과는 소아 ${\cdot}$ 청소년 여자 환자군에서 가장 두드러졌고, 항불안 효과는 남 ${\cdot}$ 녀 소아 환자군과 35세 이하의 성인 여자 환자군에서 가장 높은 경향을 보였다. 4) 부작용으로는, 전체 232례 중 3례에서 paroxetine 투여 후 경미한 소화불량 및 복통증상을 나타내었으나, 3례 모두 약물의 감량이나 투여중단 없이 회복이 가능했다. 이상의 결과에서 paroxetine은 소아 ${\cdot}$ 청소년 및 성인 우울신경증 환자에서 2주 이내에 위약보다 유의하게 우수한 항우울 및 항불안 효과를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 보다 장기간의 치료실험을 통하여 이러한 효과의 장기간 지속성에 대한 검증이 필요한 것이다.

Objectives: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders among young adults is different from that among younger or older age groups because of biological and environmental changes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the diagnostic distribution of psychiatric disorders in 19-30-year-old Koreans based on their age and gender using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). Methods: From the 2011 medical claims sample data of NHIS of 1,375,842 people, we extracted the data of 221,038 people aged 19-30 years, including 106,232 (48.1%) men and 114,806 (51.9%) women. We evaluated the overall changes in the diagnostic distribution of psychiatric disorders over a 3-year period. Results: The diagnostic frequency in women was 13,627 (59.0%), which was significantly higher than that in men. "Other anxiety disorders" was the most common psychiatric disorder in both genders, followed by depressive episodes, somatoform disorders, "other neurotic disorders," and nonorganic sleep disorders. In men, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or intellectual disabilities were not among the top 10 disorders. In women, no significant changes in major psychiatric disorders were seen over the 3-year period. Conclusion: These results reveal the trends of diagnostic distribution of mental illnesses depending on the development, particularly in young adulthood. It is necessary to identify whether such trends are due to biological or environmental factors, aging processes, or complex influences.
