Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the emotional state and personality characteristics of patient with panic disorder. Methods: Twenty patients with panic disorder, 21 patients with somatoform disorder, and 20 normal healthy controls were studied. Korean version of Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) and Korean standardized edition of Cattell's 16 Personality Factors Questionnaire(16-PF) were used for assessment. Statistically, One-way ANOVA with Scheffe test were used by SPSS/PC for windows. Results: 1) Total score of BDI was higher in the panic group than the somatoform group and normal control group(p<0.001). 2) Total score of state anxiety and trait anxiety in the panic group was higher than the somatoform group and normal control group(p<0.001). 3) In 16 PF, there were no definitely abnormal range of scores. But in first-stratum source traits of 16PF, the panic group was higher than the somatoform group and normal healthy group in O-factor (p<0.01) and Q4-factor(p<0.001). In second-stratum source traits of 16PF, the panic group was higher than the somatoform group in ANX-factor(p<0.05), but lower than normal control group in TOUfactor(p<0.05). 4) There were no differences in the panic subgroup according to sex and cutoff points of BDI score 16 and STAI-T score 54. 5) According to cutoff point of STAI-S score 52, the panic subgroup above 52 was higher than the panic subgroup under 52 in G-factor(p<0.001), Q3-factor(p<0.05) and SUP-factor(p<0.001), but lower in L-factor(p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that emotional state of patients with panic disorder are depressive and anxious as compared with patients with somatoform disorder and normal controls. Patients with panic disorder did not show any abnormal personality characteristics but were more guilt-prone, anxious, emotionally sensitive. We propose that the understanding of panic patients' emotional state and personality characteristics will helpful to treat and manage in patient with panic disorder.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify factors related to self-care adherence in symptomatic patients with heart failure (HF). Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, a convenience sample 209 outpatient clinic patients were recruited at two medical centers. Between October 2011 and August 2012, data were collected using the structured questionnaire. Factors related to self-care adherence were examined using hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Mean age of participants was 67.71 years and a half of them (53.6%) were female. They showed relatively low self-care adherence with mean scores of $61.88{\pm}12.92$. Lower self-care adherence was reported in asking for low sodium items, weighing oneself, checking for ankle edema, and exercising for 30 minutes. The overall model significantly explained 23.9% of variance in self-care adherence. Among the predictors, education, New York Heart Association functional classification, and social support were statistically significant in influencing self-care adherence. The variable of negative emotional status such as anxiety and depression were not found to be significant. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that social support could help self-care adherence among symptomatic patients with HF. Thus, programs targeting self-care adherence in this population should consider the strategies improving social support.

Purpose: This study was designed to construct a model which explains drug misuse behaviors in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: The design of this research is a cross-sectional study using structure equation modeling. The hypothetical model consisted of two types of variables: the exogenous variables of health status, cognitive ability, and negative emotion, and the endogenous variables of number of drugs, and drug misuse behaviors. The data collection was conducted from September 2 to September 21, 2013 through self-report questionnaires. Participants were 320 community-dwelling adults over the age of 65 living in J city. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0 program and Amos 18.0 program. Results: The results of the model fitness analysis were satisfied. The predictor variables for the hypothetical model explained 62.3% of variance regarding drug misuse behaviors. Drug misuse behaviors were directly affected by health status, cognitive ability, negative emotion and number of drugs and indirectly affected by health status, and negative emotion through number of drugs. Conclusion: These findings indicate factors that should be used in developing effective nursing interventions for safe and proper drug use and the prevention of drug misuse behaviors in community-dwelling older adults.

Method: The subjects were 131 postpartum women. Selection criteria were women who were 2 to 8 weeks post delivery. After Informed consent was obtained, they were asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument was a Postnatal Depression & Anxiety check list. Result: The mean age of the subjects was 29.3 years, and 63.4% of subjects delivered their children by vaginal birth. 18.3 percent had felt depressed during their pregnancy. The mean score of the postpartum blues was 19.2. 61.8 percent of the subjects had postpartum blues and 8.4 percent experienced postpartum depression. Monthly income was negatively correlated to postpartum blues (r=-.189, p<.05), but the emotional status during pregnancy had a significant and positive relationship. However, preparation for delivery had no significant correlation with postpartum blues. While husband support and social support had a tendency to have a negative correlation. Conclusion: Further research is needed to identify the factors that affect the emotional status during pregnancy with various scales.

Emotional state of dental outpatients was studied by means of symptom checklist-90- revision, 229 male and 290 female dental outpatients were subjected at the private local clinic in Pusna, during the period from 1994 to 1995. T-scores from SCL-90-R were analyzed psychologically by means of 90 questionnaires through Korean manual of SCL-90-R. The obntained results were as follows : 1. Mean value of T-scores on 9 basic scales of SCL-90-R in all the dental outpatients was within normal range. 2. T-scores in male were significantly higher than that in female, and there was a significant difference by age group in female. 3. There were higher levels of T-scores in groups of high academic carrier, salaryman, public servant, and unmarried person. 4. T-score of patients with periodontal pain was the highest in all subject groups. 5. While T-score of patients with K01(embedded and impated teeth) was the highest, that of K02(dental caries) was the lowest. 6. T-score in acute group was higher than that in chronic group. 7. T-score of patients treated in field of oral surgery or oral medicine was higher than those of other fields of dental treatments.

본 연구에서는 영상음향의 사운드디자인 구조의 차이가 수용자에게 어떠한 감응도 변화가 있는가를 알아 보았다. 실험은 60초의 TV광고음향을 음악으로만 디자인한 음향트랙과(A), 음향효과와 음악으로 디자인한 음향트랙(B)을 청취하게 하여, 어떠한 사운드 구조가 감응도(주의력, 활성도, 감성도)에 더 유의한 영향을 미치는가를 알아 보았다. 실험은5명씩의 남.여 대학생을 대상으로 이루어 졌고 안정상태와 Fp1, Fp2를 중심으로 한 전두엽측정방식으로 한 뉴로피드백(Neuro feedback)뇌파측정방법으로 측정하였다. 그 결과, 음악으로만 디자인한 A음향트랙에서의 감응도는 주의((ATQ)와 활성도(ACQ), 감성도(EQ)모두가 증가했으나 B트랙보다는 낮았다. 음악+효과음으로 디자인한 B트랙에서는 주의력(ATQ), 활성도(ACQ),는 A트랙보다 증가하였으나 EQ(감성도)는 반대로 A트랙보다 낮았다. 결과적으로 영상에서 음향은 주의력과 활성도 에는 기본적으로 뇌의 변화에 작용하나 정서적인 면은 역시 음악이 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 강한 효과음들은 음악보다 주의력과 집중도를 높이기는 하나 스트레스적(SQ)지수는 오히려 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 방송과 영화 등의 사운드구조는 영상과의 호흡을 기본으로 하지만 실제로 시각정보와 청각정보가 동시에 합쳐져서, 심리적으로 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 뇌신경측정으로 고찰한 것에 의의가 있다.

최근 청소년층의 인터넷 이용이 급격히 증가하면서, 초등학생 중 90% 이상이 인터넷을 이용하고 있으며, 그 연령대도 낮아져 저학년 어린이의 이용률이 지속적으로 높아지고 있다. 또한 청소년의 30%가 인터넷 중독 또는 중독 직전에 있는 것이 실태이기도 하다. 10대가 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 정보매체인 컴퓨터는, 그것을 사용함에 있어 교육적으로 도움이 되는 면도 있지만 반면에 무분별한 인터넷 용어나 비속어의 사용, 무절제한 지속적인 이용, 유해사이트에의 노출 등 많은 문제가 산재해 있다. 기존의 유해사이트 차단과 컴퓨터 사용시간 제한 등의 사용 관리를 위한 프로그램들이 많이 선보여진 상태이지만 그 활용 면에서 보면, 좀 더 사용자의 특성을 이해하여 어른들보다 절제가 어려운 어린이 사용자를 위해 부모 혹은 선생님과 같은 관리자와 가르침의 역할을 해줄 수 있는 부분이 더욱 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 무형의 소프트웨어 프로그램이 사용자에게 명령을 내리고 그것을 수행하게 하는 것 보다, 사용자가 친숙하게 받아들이고 정서적으로 접근할 수 있는 사용자와 인터렉션이 가능한 캐릭터 형태의 물리적 아바타를 제안하고자 한다. 또한 비속어나 그와 비슷한 단어들을 사용할 시 의미적으로 비속어인지 아닌지 아바타가 추론할 수 있는 기능으로, 인공지능을 부여하여 사용자가 인터넷 채팅이나 게임을 할때 아바타로 하여금 사용자와의 인터렉션을 통해서 올바르지 않은 언어사용에 대한 인지를 쉽게 하고 개선의 효과를 높이며 지속적인 관심을 이끌 수 있는 인공지능을 가진 캐릭터 아바타를 제안하고자 한다.
