연구목적 불면은 자살사고의 위험요인으로 알려져 있으나 아직 어떻게 자살의 위험에 영향을 미치는지 그 기전은 명확하지 않다. 이에 불면 증상이 회복탄력성과 자살사고와 상관이 있는 지를 살펴보고, 회복탄력성이 불면증상과 자살사고의 매개요소가 될 수 있을지 알아보고자 한다. 방 법 432명의 대학생을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문지를 통하여 일반적 특성 및 관련 검사를 수행하였다. 불면증 심각성 척도, 한국판 코너-데이비드슨 회복탄력성척도, 벡 자살사고 척도 및 벡 무망감 척도를 활용하여 불면증상, 자살사고, 회복탄력성, 무망감에 대해 조사하였으며, 각 요소간의 상관분석 및 경로분석을 수행하였다. 결 과 불면증상이 심할수록 회복탄력성이 낮았고, 자살사고가 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 무망감, 연령, 성별, 동거가족, 가정 내 월수입을 통제하여도 유의하였다. 더불어 입면의 어려움과 유지의 어려움을 겪는 불면증상이 자살사고와 연관됨을 확인하였다. 경로분석을 통하여 불면증상이 자살사고에 직접적, 간접적으로 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었으며, 회복탄력성도 유의하게 자살사고에 영향을 주는 것으로 평가되었다. 이에 회복탄력성이 불면과 자살사고와의 관계에 유의미한 중재자가 됨을 확인하였다. 결 론 수면상태와 회복탄력성에 대한 평가 및 개입이 자살사고를 낮추어 자살을 예방하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objectives: This study explored the relationship between shift intensity and insomnia among hospital nurses. Methods: The participants were 386 female hospital nurses who underwent a special health examination for night workers in 2015. The Korean Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), indices of shift work intensity, and other covariates such as amount of exercise, level of alcohol consumption, employment duration, and hours worked were extracted from the health examination data. The indices for shift intensity were (1) number of 3 consecutive night shifts and (2) number of short recovery periods after a previous shift, both assessed over the prior 3 months. Multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for the aforementioned covariates was performed to evaluate the association of shift intensity with insomnia, defined as an ISI score of ≥8. Results: The nurses with insomnia tended to be younger (p=0.029), to have worked 3 consecutive night shifts more frequently (p<0.001), to have experienced a greater number of short recovery periods after the previous shift (p=0.021), and to have worked for more hours (p=0.006) than the nurses without insomnia. Among the other variables, no statistically significant differences between groups were observed. Experiences of 3 or more consecutive night shifts (odds ratio [OR], 2.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29 to 4.20) and 3 or more short recovery periods (OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.08 to 3.73) were associated with increased odds of insomnia. Conclusions: The results suggest that decreasing the shift intensity may reduce insomnia among hospital nurses working rotating shifts.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the quality of sleep, tongue diagnosis, oral microbiology differences in insomnia of Liver qi stagnation (LQS) and Non-Liver qi stagnation (NLQS). Methods: 56 patients were classified as LQS or NLSQ type insomnia through the insomnia differentiation questionnaire. The depression scores between the groups were compared through beck depression inventory (BDI), and the sleep quality was compared through Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). We analyzed the sleep efficiency, total sleep time, total awake frequency, total and average awake time through actigraph. For the tongue diagnosis, the distribution of tongue coating in six areas were measured through Winkel tongue coating index (WTCI). Linear discriminant analysis was performed to observe the differences in composition of microbial strains between the groups. Results: The scores of BDI, ISI and PSQI were significantly higher in LQS group. The total sleep time in LQS group was significantly less than that of NLQS group. Among the areas of tongue, according to the WTCI, the amount of tongue coating in zones A and C was significantly small. In oral microbial analysis, there was no significant difference between the groups at the phylum level. At the genus level, Prevotella, Veillonella, and Streptococcus were predominant in LQS group, whereas Prevotella, Neisseria, and Streptococcus in NLQS group. Conclusions: It was meaningful that insomnia was more likely in LQS group than in NLQS group, and the composition of oral microorganisms was significantly different, which could lead to the diseases caused by stress.

연구목적 본 연구는 일지역사회의 노인 불면 및 우울 증상과 인구사회학적 변수들과의 상관관계에 대해 분석하고, 이들 변수들이 우울증에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 광명시에 거주 중인 60세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 불면 및 우울 정도를 평가하고 그와 관련되는 인구사회학적 요인에 대하여 조사하였다. 2016년 4월 20일부터 2016년 12월 1일까지의 기간 동안 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$병원 정신건강의학과 위탁 광명시 정신건강증진센터에서 광명시에 위치한 복지관과 경로당을 방문하여 경기도 광명시에 거주하는 노인 총 837명을 대상으로 설문조사와 면담을 시행하였다. 인구사회학적 항목과 불면 증상, 우울 증상의 연관성을 살펴보기 위해 ISI와 S-GDS를 사용하여 구조화된 면담을 시행하였다. 결 과 연령(70대 미만, 70대, 80대, 90대 이상), 의료보장형태(건강보험, 의료보호), 주거 형태(자가, 비자가), 결혼 상태(미혼, 기혼, 이혼 및 사별)에 따른 S-GDS 평균 점수에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 학력에 대해서는 초졸 또는 무학인 경우와 대졸 이상인 경우를 비교했을 때 평균에 유의한 차이가 나타났다(F=3.227, p=0.012). S-GDS 10점 이상과 미만군으로 나누어 인구사회학적 인자들을 비교한 결과, 연령, 의료보장형태, 주거 형태, 동거 가족의 수에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<0.05). ISI로 측정한 불면 증상은 인구사회학적 항목과는 유의한 관련성이 나타나지 않았으나(p>0.05), 우울 증상과는 유의한 연관성이 나타났다(p<0.05). 불면 증상이 심할수록 우울 증상이 나타날 확률이 더 높았으며 또한 우울 증상을 보이는 노인들의 경우 더 심한 불면 증상을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 노인 우울증은 인구사회학적 요인 중 연령, 의료보장형태, 주거 형태, 결혼 상태, 학력 및 동거 가족의 수와 유의한 연관성을 갖는다. 또한 노인 우울증의 주요 증상인 불면 증상은 우울 증상의 심각도와 진단을 예측할 수 있는 중요한 의미를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.
