The hemodialysis patients with chronic renal disease have experienced negative emotions, especially depression among with physical, social, and psychological changes. Based upon a stress-coping theory, group imago psychotherapy which can induce effective coping through self awareness and positive emotional responses is implemented to the hemodialysis patients. The effects of the imago psychotherapy in regards to comfort and depression are studied here. Group imago psychotherapy was performed on forty-three subjects(twenty subjects in the experimental group and twenty-three subjects in the control group). The results of the study were as follows. After being given group imago psychotherapy, the comfort scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (F=15.33, p= .003). Moreover, after being given treatment, the depression scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (F=9.14. p=.0044). Specifically, the scores on comfort in the experimental group under emotion-focused coping style were significantly higher than those of the control group (F=18.59, p= .0002). The mean difference on comfort scores in the experimental group under problem - focused coping style was higher than that of the control group. But their scores were not significant (F=0.19, p= .6729). The scores on depression in the experimental group under emotion-focused coping style were significantly lower than those of the control group (F=14.62, p= .0006). The mean difference on depression scores in the experimental group under problem - focused coping style was much lower than that of the control group. But their scores were not significant (F=0.31, p=.5947). There was a significant positive correlation between comfort and depression variables. After group imago psychotherapy the hemodialysis patients recognized positive changes in emotional reponses, self awareness, self control, ease of mind, and felt overall more relaxed. Imago psychotherapy is a nursing intervention which as this study has shown can improve to comfort. The results of this study can be applied to general nursing practices. In the view of holistic nursing, the development of the nursing practice combined with imago psychotherapy will contribute to the enlargement of the nursing field with conventional nursing practices.

Amputation changes the lives of patients and their families. Consequently, the patient must adapt to altered body function and image. During this adaptation process, psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder, can occur. The psychological difficulties of patients with amputation are often accepted as normal responses that are often poorly recognized by patients, family members, and their primary physicians. Psychological problems can interfere with rehabilitation and cause additional psychosocial problems. Therefore, their early detection and treatment are important. A multidisciplinary team approach, including mental health professionals, is ideal for comprehensive and biopsychosocial management. Mental health professionals could help patients set realistic goals and use adaptive coping styles. Psychiatric approaches should consider the physical, cognitive, psychological, social, and spiritual functions and social support systems before and after amputation. The abilities and limitations of physical, cognitive, psychological, and social functions should also be considered. To improve the patient's adaptation, psychological interventions such as short-term psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, biofeedback, and group psychotherapy can be helpful.

게임 이미지가 연령에 적합하지 않은 색채를 사용할 경우 게임의 특성이 사라지고 이미지표출의 효율성이 떨어진다. 유저는 게임에서 선호하는 색을 먼저 지각하여 게임을 선택하고 호기심 또한 유발시킬 수 있으므로 색채연구는 매우 중요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이와 관련된 연구가 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 게임 이미지의 색이 이용자에 따라 어떤 차이가 있는지 분석 연구하였다. 이용자 구분은 전체 이용자와 18세이상 이용자로 구분하며, 게임인기순위에서 전체이용가와 청소년이용불가 등급의 각 10개 게임의 게임플레이영상을 스냅샷으로 각각100장의 이미지, 총 2000장을 추출하여 각 게임의 RGB와 HSB의 평균값을 구하고 독립표본 t검정을 실시하였다. 그 결과는 두 이용자 간의 RGB색채 값이 확실하게 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 색채 심리를 이용한 심리치료 게임이나 감성 게임 등을 개발 시 색채 선택에 도움이 될 것으로 기대되며, 나아가 색 이미지 스케일 등을 이용하여 색을 형용사로 표현하고 더 다양한 방법으로 색채특성을 분석하고자 하며, 나라별 게임 이미지의 색채의 차이가 있는지 연구하고자 한다.
