Objectives : The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is a global medical crisis imposing particular burden on public sector employees. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychiatric distress among public sector workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods : We conducted a cross-sectional study with 531 public sector workers in Gwangmyung city who completed Korean versions of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Korean (IES-R-K). Results : The results revealed more than moderate levels of stress (85.2%), depressive symptoms (22.2%), and posttraumatic stress symptoms (38.8%). PSS total score was significantly correlated with PHQ-9, IES-R-K total scores as well as IES-R-K subscale scores. Total scores on the PSS, PHQ-9, and IES-R-K were all inversely correlated with age. Conclusions : COVID-19-related workers experience considerable stress and depressive symptoms, with self-rated stress correlating significantly with depression scores. Age may serve as a protective factor against occupational stress and burnout. These findings highlight the need for adequate psychiatric screening and intervention for public sector workers.

In this study, we investigated whether the degree of anxiety, depression, stress, and ego resilience in the COVID-19 epidemic situation could affect the quality of life of college students and analyzed the correlation between them. In addition, the causal relationship and mediating effect on ego resilience, stress and quality of life were analyzed and necessary countermeasures were proposed. As a result of analyzing the correlation between each variable, it was found that anxiety, depression, stress, quality of life, and self-resilience all had significant correlations. In particular, stress was found to play a complete mediating role in the effect of ego resilience on quality of life. It is expected that this study will be used as a basis for research on the effect of stress and self-resilience on the improvement of quality of life in the Corona situation.

This study is a descriptive research study to determine the stress, resilience, and social support of nurses who cared for COVID-19 patients and the impact on post-traumatic growth. The survey was conducted on 179 nurses who cared for COVID-19 patients at a general hospital located in D City from July 19, 2021, to August 10, 2021. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 22.0. Post-traumatic growth showed a significant positive correlation with resilience (r=.499, p=<.001) and social support (r=.494, p=<.001). As a result of multiple regression analysis, prior knowledge about COVID-19 (𝛽=.142, p=.023), resilience (𝛽=.330, p =<.001), and social support (𝛽=.296, p =<.001) was a significant variable affecting post-traumatic growth. These results will be used as basic data to improve nurses' post-traumatic growth.

This study investigates the relationships among academic stress, learning satisfaction, and learning flow of the health science college students who take online classes in college. The subjects were 129 students and the data were collected from November 15th, 2020 to December 22th, 2020 using a self-report structured questionnaire. The data analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression. As a result of this study, academic stress showed a negative correlation between learning satisfaction (r=.-78, p<.001) and learning flow (r=.-70, p<.001). And learning satisfaction showed a positive correlation between learning flow (r=.71, p<.001). In the results of multiple regression analysis, factors influencing the learning flow of students were amount of assignments in online classes, number of online practice courses completed in the last semester, academic stress, and learning satisfaction. All of these variables together explained 59.0%. Therefore, in order to increase learning flow in online classes, strategies to reduce academic stress and development of various educational programs are required.
