Psychological and physical stresses were higher than the average due to damage caused by sexual harassment, requiring some attention. Work stress showed an average level. With the higher perception, a negative correlation was observed in the face of mitigation (p<0.001). Conclusion: The number of victims of sexual harassment is increasing every year.

The article provides an examination of those temporary states of disturbances in the psychophysiological and socio-psychological spheres of a person, which develop against the background of normally formed mechanisms of mental activity, that is, in mentally healthy people. A healthy person is a person adapted to the conditions of the external environment, and mental health is inseparable from the physical and social well-being of a person.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess socio-demographic, disaster-related, physical health-related, psychological, and social factors that may adversely affect disaster victims' QoL (Quality of Life). Methods: A cross sectional study was designed by using the secondary data. From the 3rd Disaster Victims Panel Survey (2012~2017), a total of 1,659 data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression. Results: Older people with lower health status lacking financial resources prior to a disaster were more at risk of low levels of QoL. Lower levels of perceived health status, resilience, and QoL were reported by disaster exposed individuals, while their depression was higher than the depression in the control group of disaster unexposed ones. Resilience, social and material supports were positively associated with QoL whereas depression and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders) were negatively associated. Conclusion: These findings suggest that psychological symptoms and loss due to disasters can have adverse impacts on the QoL of disaster victims in accordance with their prior socio-demographic background. They also indicate that targeted post-disaster community nursing intervention should be considered a means of increased social support as well as physical and mental health care for disaster victims.

본 연구의 목적은 요양 및 전문요양원에 근무하는 직원들이 서비스 대상으로부터 경험하는 폭력과 직무 스트레스에 대해 탐색하는 것이다. 조사대상은 대전지역의 요양원과 전문요양원에 근무하는 생활지도원과 간호사 182명이다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 폭력 경험과 관련하여 응답한 173명 중 137명(79.2%)이 지난 1년 동안 서비스 대상으로부터 크고 작은 폭력을 당하였다. 둘째, 직원들의 직무 스트레스 수준은 전반적으로 낮았다. 서비스 대상과의 관계에서 오는 스트레스는 2.8%만이, 케어/간호과정에서 오는 스트레스도 2.3%만이 스트레스가 있거나 매우 심각한 것으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 심리적 폭력과 신체적 폭력 간 관계에서는 심리적 폭력과 신체적 폭력을 동시에 경험한 사람들의 비율이 43.4%로 가장 높았고, 심리적 폭력만을 경험한 직원의 비율도 35.8%로 높게 나타났다. 심리적 폭력 없이 신체적 폭력만 경험한 직원들은 0.6%에 불과했으며, 어떤 폭력도 경험한 적이 없는 직원은 20.2%였다. 넷째, 폭력 경험과 직무 스트레스 간의 관계에서, 폭력은 서비스제공자와 서비스 대상간의 관계를 손상시키지는 않지만, 직접적인 케어나 간호과정에는 다소 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is an effort to bring our attention to social dependence on alcohol, focusing on previous studies of drinking behaviors. Although drinking behavior and problems must be understood in a biopsychosocial framework, a certain aspect is often ignored in alcohol research. A few attention has been paid to social aspect of alcohol abuse or dependence. Social processes of drinking behavior deserve to have same attention as other aspects, psychological and physical aspects of the behavior. Literature show that the interdependence among group members exists to regulate individual's drinking behavior. Such social interactions tend to control drinking level for individual in terms of amounts, frequency, and preference. The drinking level tends to be dependent on desires for heavy drinkers, ignoring variabilities of individual's sensitivity to alcohol. However, such a heavy-oriented tendency in drinking behavior may have different patterns which are function of normative orientation of alcohol. negotiation among group members, and ethnoreligious characteristics. Perspectives from conflict tradition and symbolic interactionism are welcomed to illuminate multi-dimentional aspects of social dependence. Policy implication were discussed from public health perspective.
