Purpose: This study investigated the quality of life, mental health and subjective health status of community dwelling cancer patients. Methods: Subjects were 212 out-patients with cancer at Kangwon University Hospital. The study was conducted from July 10 to August 14, 2008. Quality of life as determined by the Euro Quality of life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) was measured using Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(KCDC). Mental health and subjective health status were measured using KCDC. Results: EQ-5D determined degrees of difficulty were 25.5%(mobility), 25.2%(anxiety or depression), 23.6%(pain or discomfort), 20.3%(activities of daily living), and 13.7%(self care). An analysis of the association between several factors and mental health showed that the statistically significant factors were age, gender, medical coverage, and private insurance. An analysis of the association between several factors and subjective health status showed that the statistically significant factor was occupation. Conclusion: Cancer patients suffer from significant psychological distress. Programs that address mental and physical health would be beneficial.

Purpose: This study was to identify the relationships of trait anger, mode of anger expression, and perceived stress to mental health status in middle aged women. Method: The subjects were 157 middle aged women from 40s to 60s who lived in Seoul. Data was collected by questionnaire surveys using the convenience sampling. The instruments used for this study were Spielberger's trait anger scale and anger expression scale, Cohen, Kamarck, and Mermelstein's perceived stress and Derogatis's SCL-90-R. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression with SAS/PC. Result: The trait anger of middle aged women indicated a significantly positive correlation to perceived stress(r=.180, p=.023) and mental health status(r.=021, p=.014). Anger-in(r=.237, p<.05), and perceived stress(p=.461, p<.01) showed significantly positive correlation to mental health status. The most significant predictor influencing health status of middle aged women was perceived stress, and anger-in and the variance explained was 27%. Conclusion: These results suggested that middle aged women with high degree of trait anger is likely to be high in stress perception. Perceived stress and anger-in are major factors influencing mental health status.

빈곤에는 인적자본 및 가족구조 등의 물질적 결핍 뿐 아니라 심리사회적 측면이 주요하게 관련되어 있음이 널리 제기됨에도 불구하고, 국내에서는 이에 대한 관련 연구성과들은 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 주목하여, 본 연구에서는 빈곤층의 심리사회적 측면이 빈곤지위의 결정 및 이의 변화에 어떠한 관련성을 지니는지를 정신건강 변수들을 중심으로 분석하고자 하였다. 분석에서는 한국복지패널 1~4차년도 자료를 활용하여, 우울 및 자아존중감 등의 정신건강 요인과 빈곤지위의 관계를 다양한 측면에서 분석하였는데, 주요 분석결과들은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 빈곤층과 비빈곤층의 정신건강 수준은 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 빈곤층 내부에서도 빈곤이 심각할수록 정신건강이 좋지 못한 것으로 나타나, 빈곤과 정신건강의 부적(-) 관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째, 빈곤탈출 집단과 빈곤지속 집단의 정신건강 수준도 유의미한 차이를 보여, 정신건강이 빈곤지위 변화와도 밀접한 관련성을 지니고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 빈곤경험 양상은 정신건강에 따라 상당한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었는데, 정신건강수준이 양호하지 못할수록 빈곤 경험율 및 빈곤지속의 경험이 높고, 빈곤경험기간도 긴 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 이들의 빈곤 탈출율은 낮은 반면 빈곤 지속율은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 여타 관련 변수들을 통제한 모델에 대한 분석에서는 정신건강이 빈곤지위 및 빈곤지위 변화에의 주요 결정 요인의 하나로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 빈곤지위 및 이의 변화에 정신건강의 주요한 영향을 보여주는 바로, 우리사회의 빈곤문제에 효과적으로 대처하기 위해서는 물질적 결핍에 대한 지원에만 치중된 정책적 접근에서 벗어나 빈곤층의 정신건강 문제에 대한 적극적인 개입 및 지원이 요청됨을 정책적 함의로 시사하여 준다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to address differences between mental health according to sasang constitution and ego state among college students. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional study were collected by administration of questionnaires eliciting Woo's ego state scale, QSCC II for the sasang constitution classification, and SCL-90-R for mental health to 393 college students. Analysis was performed using IBM SPSS (version 19.0). Results: The Free Child ego and Adapted Child ego differed significantly among sasang types. The ego-gram pattern of So-eum type exhibited the N pattern (Nurturing Parent (NP)>Adapted Child (AC)>Adult (A)>Free Child (FC)>Critical Parent (CP), AC-high type), however, the ego-gram pattern of other constitution types showed the M pattern (NP>FC>A>AC>CP). No statistically significant differences in mental health were observed among sasang types, however, among ego states, AC and CP showed negative correlation with mental health status. Between So-eum type and So-yang type, AC was the factor predicting mental health. Between Tae-eum type and undefined type, AC and CP were factors predicting mental health. Conclusion: These findings suggest that sasang constitution could be an important factor in understanding the ego state and mental health status. We conclude that sasang constitution should be considered in interpretation of mental health status presentation in clients.

This study conducted a secondary analysis using original data of performed by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs to determine factors affecting oral health-related quality of life and mental health in the elderly. The research subjects were 1,217 people who were over 65 years old and completed an oral examination and oral questionnaire survey. The results were as follows. First, mental health problems arise in people with an oral health status designated as 'bad' or when they feel 'very uncomfortable' chewing or speaking. Second, the quality of life decreases as problems with chewing and speaking increase. The results reveal that to reduce problems of mental health(stress, depression, suicide) and to enhance the quality of life, there is a need to develope diverse programs for preventive treatment and oral health education. What is the most important is consistent policy support.

This study reports the relationship between life-style and physical, mental health status in college students. The questionnaire survey was carried out from September to October, 1991. The questionnaire included life-style, physical health condition centered on unhealthy habits and complaints about physical symptoms, and mental condition which was assessed by Zung's self-rating depression scale(SDS). Days absent from school during the last year in males(3.6) were significantly more than those in females (1.0). Days catching the common cold were more in females than in males. The amount of complaints and the SDS score were significantly higher in females than in males. In the relationship between physical and mental health status and individual health habits, abscence-days from school significantly correlated with regular life, snacking, physical exercise, smoking, drinking. The amount of complaints and the SDS score were significantly associated with regular life, regular meal-time, eating breakfast, nutritional balance and physical exercise. In the relationship between health practice index to health status, the group having good habits showed significantly less days catching the common cold, less complaints, less SDS score and less amount of stress. It was also shown that life-style correlated with physical and mental health status.
