당뇨병과 정신건강은 어떤 관련성이 있을까? 당뇨병이 스트레스나 우울증과 관련이 있다는 것은 비교적 잘 알려져 있는데 다른 정신건강 문제와도 관련이 있을까? 당뇨병을 꾸준히 관리하는 것만도 수월하지 않은 당뇨병 환자에게 정신건강 관리를 하라는 것은 또 다른 부담을 가중시킬 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 효과적인 당뇨병 관리를 위해서는 정신건강에 관심을 기울이고 함께 관리하지 않을 수 없다. 건강하고 안정적인 정신건강 상태는 당뇨병 관리의 뒷받침이 되므로 당뇨병의 효과적인 관리를 위해 선행되어야 할 요소이다. 종종 정신건강 문제는 당뇨병 관리의 방해요인이 되기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해서도 정신건강 관리는 당뇨병 관리와 함께 이루어져야 한다. 스트레스, 우울, 불안 등 정신건강 문제들이 어느 정도 해결될 때, 비로소 당뇨병 자가관리를 지속할 수 있으며 그 효과를 거둘 수 있는 것이다. 대부분의 당뇨병 환자는 진단기준을 충족시키지는 않더라도 적어도 가끔은 정신장애 증상을 경험할 수 있다. 일부 환자는 진단기준에 부합하는 장기간의 심각한 정신과적 증상으로 고통을 받기도 한다. 당뇨병 진단 후 당뇨병을 심리적으로 수용하고 관리하는 과정에서 정신장애를 경험하게 될 가능성이 높아진다. 정신장애도 만성질환의 속성을 가지므로 정신장애를 동반한 당뇨병 환자는 만성질환 관리의 부담이 가중될 수 있다. 따라서 정신장애를 최대한 예방하고 적시에 적절한 치료를 통해 심화되지 않도록 하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 당뇨병과 관련 있는 정신장애에 대한 이해와 지식을 갖추는 것이 필요하다.

자살은 인류 역사의 시작과 함께 시작되어 시대의 변화나 문화의 차이에도 불구하고, 인류와 함께 있어 왔다. 우리나라는 최근 급속한 자살 사망률의 증가로 인해 자살이 심각한 보건학적, 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 특히 IMF 경제위기를 겪으면서 실업, 빈곤화, 가족해체 등은 IMF경제위기 이전보다 자살사망률이 급증하는 결과를 초래하였다. 또한 기존의 가족이나 사회문제, 교육문제 등으로 인해 취약한 정신건강상태로 인해 자살욕구에 대한 전염력이 강한 청소년과 젊은 청년층에게 ‘자살 사이트’라는 인터넷 매체로의 접근은 자살이라는 전염병의 새로운 감염경로가 되고 있다. 이것은 국민들의 정신건강 상태가 위험수위에 이르고 있음을 나타낸다. 온전한 정신 건강은 육체적 건강을 위한 필수조건일 뿐만 아니라 활기찬 생활의 바탕이 된다.

This study analyzed the direct effects of COVID-19 fears on the mental health problems, sleep problems and preventive practices. Both mental health and sleep problems had dual mediating effects in the influence of COVID-19 fears on preventive practices.

Data from a subsample of 2,306 adolescents, who participated in the "child-youth synthesize survey" was utilized. The measurement and structural models were estimated using structural equation modeling. Partial and full mediation models were compared, and X2 difference test was conducted between the two models. The study results show that children's overweight and obesity problem have a direct effect on mental health problems. In addition, bullying was found to mediate the association between children's overweight and obesity problem and mental health problems.

There have been increasing incidents of natural and social disasters that claimed many lives and caused financial calamities worldwide, which call for an attention to mental health issues affecting disaster victims. This study reviewed the findings of the empirical research on the effects of disaster on the victims, the prevalence and determinants of the mental health problems. The disaster tends to disproportionately affect the socio-economically disadvantaged population and their mental health problems and recovery seemed to be heavily influenced by post-disaster experiences such as restoration of physical environment, prospect of economic recovery and resumption of normalcy in their lives, opportunities for participation in decision-making that affect their lives. Such findings suggest that the disaster mental health should shift from its traditional approach that focuses on short-term clinical interventions to alleviate acute mental distress for the victims to a public health approach that involve medical, social and economic interventions as well as community empowerment to prevent chronicity of the mental health problems and to improve the general quality of life of the individuals and the community adversely affected by the disaster. Implications for the social work research, policy making, education and practice were discussed.
