  • Objective : Despite high prevalence and effective treatments of panic disorder, lots of patients are not properly treated due to lack of awareness of the disorder. This study summarizes and presents the results from Public Awareness Survey of Panic Disorder during the Mental Health Exposition held in Seoul in April, 2014. Methods : A total of 401 participants who visited the booth of the Korean Academy of Anxiety Disorder agreed and completed the survey. The questionnaires comprised of three sections; first, after given a case of patient with panic disorder, participants were asked to choose a diagnosis and treatment options. Second, participants were asked to differentiate the symptoms of panic disorder from those of other mental disorders and answer where they acquired the knowledge of the disorder. Third, visual analogue scales were used to get more detailed information for several issues about panic disorder. The incidence and ratio for each question were provided and compared. Results : Among the participants, 78% reported a patient within the case need treatment, and 30% accurately recognized it was panic disorder. As for treatment needed, 40% selected psychotherapy by psychiatrists, 28% chose counseling by psychologist, 23% said that they can overcome it by self-care. Only 2% of participants selected the pharmacotherapy as treatment needed. Approximately 40% of participants have encountered information about the disorder from gossips of celebrities, 32% from mass-media, and merely 6% from medical professionals. About 80% of participants could discriminate the symptom of panic disorder from those of depression, schizophrenia, or generalized anxiety disorder. Conclusion : Our results suggest that substantial proportions of participants have the awareness of panic disorder, while as for treatment they were strongly biased against pharmacologic treatments. Most of their source of the awareness was not relied upon professional information. Efforts for giving correct information and increasing public awareness of panic disorder are needed to bridge a gap between professionals and general public.

  • 컴퓨터를 비롯한 디지털 기술의 빠른 발전은 건강과 관련한 분야에도 새로운 변화를 일으키기 시작했다. 각종 사이버 상담을 비롯하여 원격 진료, 게임과 VR을 활용한 치료 등에 이르기까지 그 영역도 다양해지고 있다. 이에 따라 자연스럽게 HCI 분야에서도 각종 Health Technology와 관련한 이슈에 대해 관심을 갖고 점점 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 흐름에서 본 연구는 최근 대체의학의 한 분야로 대두되고 있는 미술치료를 화두로 디지털기술과의 다양한 접목의 가능성을 모색해보았다. 1999년 Cathy A Malchiodi는 그의 저서에서 "컴퓨터의 사용증가와 디지털기술의 발전이 다른 헬스 케어 영역에서처럼 미술치료의 영역에도 커다란 변화를 일으킬 수 있다." 라고 언급했지만 디지털 기술을 활용한 미술치료는 여전히 생소하고 낯선 개념이다. 비록 몇 몇 선구적인 연구자들이 각종 디지털기술을 미술치료와 결합하려는 시도를 하고 있긴 하지만, 많은 현장에서는 이에 대해 미술치료의 본질을 해칠지 모른다며 우려감을 표명하고 있다. 그럼에도 미술치료 영역에 디지털 기술을 직간접적으로 활용하고자 하는 시도는 조금씩 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이런 배경에서 본 연구는 현재까지 관련된 연구에 대한 체계적인 분석과 그 흐름을 분석하였다. 나아가 이 내용을 바탕으로 한국의 미술치료사를 대상으로 앞으로 디지털기술을 활용한 미술치료가 점차 어떤 방향으로 발전해나갈 수 있을 지 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 이러한 이론적, 실제적 연구방법을 통해 디지털미술치료가 향후 전통적 방식의 미술치료가 갖는 한계점을 보완하며 그 가능성을 넓혀 갈 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 그 방향은 치료보다는 예방차원에서, 단일미술치료보다는 다양한 매체와 감각을 활용하는 통합적 치료로, 또 언제 어디서든 활용될 수 있는 방식으로, 끝으로 대상의 특성에 맞는 세분화된 형태의 디지털미술치료 서비스로 정리해볼 수 있었다. 즉 디지�� 미술치료, 나아가 디지털 기술을 활용한 예술치료가 현대인의 건강과 웰빙을 위한 새로운 콘텐츠로서 충분히 자리매김할 수 있는 가능성이 있음을 확인해보았다. 본 연구는 새로운 콘텐츠를 위한 기반 연구로서 향후 미술치료를 비롯한 예술치료와 엔지니어 사이의 자연스러운 협업을 위한 기초 자료로서 자리매김 하였다는 데 그 의의를 찾을 수 있겠다.

  • There has recently been an increased interest in women's health from, various disciplines, with different perspectives presented according to each profession's academic background. This has led to many instances of incorrectly defining, or misinterpretation, of the issues even among professionals. Nurse scholars as well as practitioners who work in women's health care need to have a clear conceptual understanding of women's health in order to build a body of knowledge, delineate curricular activities, and set directions for professional nursing interventions. In addition, a conceptual model that may be directly utilized in practice is needed to maintain and promote women's health issues. The purpose of this study was to apply a Hybrid model, analyzing conceptual definitions and discussions related to women's health gathered from review of the literature. Further to compare analyticals the concepts and properties observed from field work, so as to present a final definition of women's health and, build a conceptual framework for a united comprehensive perspective on the concept as well as on nursing practice. Data collection and analysis consisted of a theoretical stage, field work stage, and final analysis. A heterogeneous group of professionals and lay persons, 39 in all, participated in the field work. Study findings Include several subconcepts under the concept of women's health : a woman's whole life, holistic health, quality of life, awareness of being a woman, individual nursing, self care ability, reproductive health, and family health. Thus, a comprehensive definition was built, 1. e., "Women's health care be defined as improvement in the quality of life of women through attainment of holistic health throughout the life span. With reproductive health at the core, the concept is directly related to family and national health, and includes taking care of one's own health based on awareness of being a woman and utilizing self care activities. Women's health care issues are unique and allow various responses, therefore women's health professionals need to apply individual approaches to reach solutions in attaining holistic health and improving quality of life." The constructual factors of women's health were found to be reproductive functions, diseases more common in woman, self actualization, mental health, women's health policies, sexuality, midlife changes, and marital relations, with each factor having more than three properties. Positive factors affecting women's health were found to be a normal childbearing process, a healthy lifestyle, active health management, health information, support, and resources, and interpersonal relationships. Negative factors were found to be overwhelming role stress, cultural oppression, gender inequality, distorted sexual identity, economic difficulties, misuse and/or abuse of substances, and stress. The model of women's health may be visualized as a balance scale set upon a woman's life, supporting 4 concentric circles. The innermost circle and second circle incorporate conceptual definitions of women's health, and the outer two circles represent the constructional factors and properties of women's health. Each circle has its own color that symbolizes the conceptual meaning. Positive and negative factors are represented as weights at either end of the scale, and are affected by nursing intervention, i. e., health and wellness increase when positive factors are stronger, whereas disease and illness increase when negative factors are stronger. This model is only a preliminary effort and requires much discussion and testing to be further developed. Continuous research is also required.

  • Objectives: Problem behaviors pose a great obstacle to daily functioning in children with neurodevelopmental deficits and are an important target for treatment. In this study, we translated the Behavior Problems Inventory (BPI)-01 into Korean language and tested its psychometric properties. Methods: We attained the approval of the BPI author and performed standard translation-back translation. Then, professional caregivers examined appropriateness according to cultural and situational contexts in order to make necessary modifications of the Korean version of the BPI. Results: The BPI-01, Korea-Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised (K-SIB-R), and Child Behavior Checklist were completed for 98 autistic spectrum disorder or intellectual development disorder participants (mean age=28.3, standard deviation=7.3, range=10.1-51.7). The inter-rater reliability of the BPI-01 was found to be high (r=0.992-1.000). As for the results for concurrent validity for subscale items of BPI-01 and scales of SIB, correlations between SIB and BPI-01 subscales were statistically significant (r=0.357-0.672). Discussion: The Korean version of the BPI-01 showed good psychometric properties with high reliability and sufficient convergent validity. Further examination of the validity of BPI-01 should be carried out with inclusion of younger aged children and a closer look at less frequently occurring symptoms.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the group therapy on psychological symptoms and quality of life of patients with early stage breast cancer. Methods: This study was performed on 16 breast cancer patients who completed treatments. The total group therapy program involved a weekly session of 2-3 hours, for 16 weeks. The group therapy sessions were given to women in the oncology department by a clinical psychologist and also given training sections by the different professional teams. All the required assessments for the study were performed after and before 16 week group therapy intervention. Results: Initially we had taken 21 women but 16 participated in all therapy programs and submitted questionnaires. The mean age was 47.8 years. There were significant differences between before and after group therapy program. Anxiety, depression, and distress showed significant improvements. Hopelessness scale was detected at the border of significance. There was no change in sleep problems and quality of life. According to the analysis of correlation, considering the age factor and year of diagnosis, there was found no statistically significant relationship between anxiety, distress, depression, hopelessness, sleeplessness, and quality of life. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated that brief, predominantly group therapy is feasible for patients with breast cancer and, also it may be helpful to cope with emotional and physical distress.

  • In a divorced family, child-centered custody evaluation is essential to ensure the child's best interests and healthy adaptation. A mental health professional's role and involvement are required in gaining an in-depth understanding of various environments and dynamics surrounding the child and family. Domestic violence, including child abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV) or parental alienation syndrome (PAS), is often observed in cases of custody evaluation in high-conflict divorced families, sometimes accompanied by allegations. Such cases warrant an extremely careful approach by the evaluator, who needs to be competent in interpreting the familial dynamics based on a reasonable context understanding. Genuine professionalism is a must for a custody evaluator to best help the child and carry out a high-quality custody evaluation process, and evaluators need to be ready for this task through adequate preparation and empowerment. This article is devoted to examining custody evaluation in divorced families in cases of IPV, child abuse, and PAS.

  • As in western countries, divorce rates in South Korea have recently been rising, and family disruption has become one of serious social problems. Parents are able to express their opinions and wishes confidently, but the thoughts and wishes of children, especially infants and young children, tend to be ignored. Children can also experience several emotional and behavioral problems during the process of and after their parents' divorce. When South Korean family courts determine custody arrangements, they typically do not have a systematic strategy and process based on custody evaluation to help children and their parents overcome conflicts and build healthy parent-child relationships after divorce. Furthermore, under the current court system, it is difficult for mental health specialists and child psychiatrists to intervene in familial conflicts as mediators or therapists during the course of divorce proceedings. Acknowledging these limitations, the South Korean family court system implemented a formal program for custody evaluations by child psychiatrists and psychologists in 2017. However, they have faced challenges such as a shortage of experienced specialist and lack of a training system or instruments for evaluation. In this paper, the authors aim to share professional knowledge of and experiences with aspects of the custody evaluation process, such as indications, procedures, methods, psychological tests, resources, and final report writing, to better serve children and their parents undergoing a painful divorce process.

  • The aviation industry has continued to grow despite the influence of external environmental factors such as SARS and MERS. However, this growth has led to a sharp decrease in air traffic and a crisis of flight suspension due to the collapse of the global value chain and the decline of the world economy as the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the decrease in the number of international flights, aviation workers such as pilots and cabin crew were exposed to high psychological stress and fatigue, such as large-scale layoffs, job instability, decrease in income, and increased risk of infection during. Recently, the international community has eased immigration restrictions through quarantine activities, and airlines are taking a step further to recover existing air demand. However, during the crisis period, a significant number of professional workers have been turned off or fired, and the physical and mental fatigue of those who can perform their duties is increasing. Therefore, this paper intends to examine the direction of policy improvement and the identification of problems in aviation safety and fatigue management after the pandemic.

  • 의사들의 소셜미디어의 활용은 의학전문직업성에서 중요한 문제가 되어가고 있다. 그러나 전문직 단체에서는 이에 관한 명확한 가이드라인을 아직 제공하지 못하고 있으며, 관련된 규정으로 새로 개정된 대한의사협회 의사윤리지침에서 소셜미디어를 활용할 때 품위를 유지할 것을 요구하고 있는 것이 전부이다. '품위 유지'라는 개념은 전문직의 의무로서 제시되어 왔지만, 이 개념이 갖는 모호함이나 전근대적 어감 등이 품위 유지의 의무가 전문직의 자율 규제의 규준으로서 쓰이는 데에 장애물이 되어 왔다. 저자들은 의료전문직의 품위 유지 개념을 검토하고 만일 이 개념을 명료하고 정당화 가능하게 재정의할 경우, 이 개념은 소셜미디어와 같은 여러 맥락에서 작동가능한 규준이 될 수 있다고 주장한다. 소셜미디어의 예측불가성과 통제 불가능한 영향력, 공적, 직업적 영역과 사적, 개인적 영역의 구분이 모호해진다는 특성은 의학전문직업성을 위험에 빠뜨릴 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 전문직의 품위가 손상될 수 있는 세 가지 사례를 제시하고 왜 이러한 행위들이 공공의 신뢰를 저하시고 전문직의 품위를 손상하게 되는지 논증한다. 저자들은 공공의 신뢰를 유지하기 위해 대한의사협회가 소셜미디어 활용에 관한 보다 구체적인 가이드라인을 제시해야 한다고 결론 내린다.
