Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types in women and is amongst the most devastating and stressful events in the life of women. The external appearance of breast cancer patients usually changes due to the surgical and/or medical therapies used. An association may be found between social support perception and social appearance anxiety in patients with breast cancer in the period after mastectomy. Therefore, this study investigated the social appearance anxiety and social support status in women with breast cancer in our country. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment or follow-up in Medical Oncology and General Surgery departments. Results: The mean age of the participants was $51.13{\pm}8.48$ years (range, 24-74 years) with nearly half of the patients (40.6%) aged 40-50 years. Of the patients, 39.1% had stage 3 breast cancer. The mean score on Cancer Patient's Social Support Scale (CPSSS) was $134.85{\pm}9.35$, and there was a significant difference in CPSSS total scores betweena the age groups, educational levels, self-reported income levels and stage of disease (p<0.05). The mean Social Image Anxiety Scale (SIAS) score was found to be $34.30{\pm}9.35$ (min:16, max:66) in women participating in this study. The CPSSS and SIAS scores of the participants were inversely correlated, and the SIAS score was found to decrease with the increasing CPSSS score but with no statistically significant difference (r=-0.110, p=0.217). Conclusions: Social appearance anxiety is higher in the patients with poor social support.

Objective : Individuals with anxiety disorders experience a wide range of time to seeking treatment (TST) as well as various comorbid mental disorders. The present study examined the TST in social anxiety disorder (SAD) and panic disorder. This study aimed to find out the influence of comorbid mental disorder on TST of anxiety disorder through the comparison of SAD and panic disorder. Methods : This study included 311 SAD and 378 panic disorder patients at the initial visit of psychiatric clinic. Contribution of clinical (number of comorbidity, comorbid type and onset age) and demographic (current age) factors to TST were investigated by multivariate analysis. Results : The median length of TST was 14.03 years in SAD and 2.26 years in panic disorder. In social anxiety disorder, fewer comorbidity, younger onset age, and older age were factors associated with delayed TST. In panic disorder, only younger onset age was associated with delayed TST. In both disorders, comorbid depressive disorder was associated with shorter TST. Conclusion : Our data provided the differences in illness behavior needing help based on comorbid mental disorders between SAD and panic disorder. In addition to comorbid disorder, factors affecting TST of anxiety disorder requires future investigation.

본 연구는 대학생의 사회부과 완벽주의와 사회불안의 관계에서 대인존재감과 자기수용의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대학에 재학 중인 학생을 대상으로 설문을 진행하여 총 408부를 분석에 사용하였다. 측정에 사용된 도구는 사회부과 완벽주의 척도, 사회불안 척도, 대인존재감 척도, 자기수용 척도이다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 이용하여 기술통계 및 상관관계 분석을 하였고, Mplus 7.0을 이용하여 구조방정식 모형과 매개효과의 검증을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 사회부과 완벽주의는 사회불안과 정적상관을 보였으나 대인존재감과 자기수용에 대하여 부적상관이 확인되었다. 그리고 대인존재감과 자기수용은 서로 정적상관이 확인되었으나 사회불안과는 부적상관을 보였다. 둘째, 대학생의 사회부과 완벽주의와 사회불안의 관계에서 대인존재감의 매개효과가 확인되었다. 셋째, 대학생의 사회부과 완벽주의와 사회불안의 관계에서 자기수용의 매개효과가 확인되었다. 넷째, 대학생의 사회부과 완벽주의와 사회불안의 관계에서 대인존재감과 자기수용의 이중매개 효과가 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 연구의 의의를 제시하고 연구의 한계와 후속연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.

이 연구는 소셜 미디어에서 나타나는 사회갈등에 대한 게시글 및 댓글을 통해 개인에게 전염될 수 있는 정서, 특히 불안과 분노를 측정하는 소셜 미디어 불안과 분노 전염 척도(Social media Anxiety and Anger Contagion Scale: SAACS)를 개발하고 타당화하고자 실시하였다. 먼저 소셜 미디어 속 사회갈등을 주제로 문헌 탐색을 실시하여 12가지의 요인(성별, 범죄, 세대, 빈부, 정치, 지역에 대한 불안과 분노)을 선정하였으며, 이후 관련된 선행 연구 및 커뮤니티 게시글과 댓글들을 탐색하여, 문항을 개발하고, 내용타당도에 대한 검증을 거쳐 105개의 예비문항을 선정하였다. 다음으로 20-30대를 대상으로 탐색적 및 확인적 요인분석을 실시한 결과에 따라, SAACS를 12개의 요인(성별, 범죄, 세대, 빈부, 정치, 지역에 대한 불안과 분노)과 48개의 문항으로 수정하였다. 타당도를 검증한 결과, SAACS는 SNS 중독 경향성 척도, Rosenberg 자아존중감 척도, 한국판 공격성 질문지, 상태 특성 불안 척도(STAI-X)와 유의미한 상관관계를 보였고, 한국판 정서전염 척도(K-ECS)와의 상관은 의미 있는 수준이 아니었다. 결과를 토대로 이 연구의 시사점과 추후 연구에 대한 제언을 논의하였다.
