본 연구는 일반인들의 정신장애인에 대한 편견적 태도 및 생각이 어느정도인가를 살펴보고자 하는데 목적을 둔 것으로 크게 3개 차원에서의 비교연구에 초점을 두었다. 하나는 인구사회학적 및 지역별 차이에 따른 일반인의 정신장애인에 대한 편견비교이며, 다른 하나는 지체장애인아 대한 편견과의 비교이며, 마지막 하나는 정신장애인, 그 가족, 그리고 전문가들의 편견과의 비교분석이다. 연구대상은 18세 이상의 성인으로, 일반인 300명, 정신장애인, 그 가족, 전문가 각 100명씩 총 600명이다. 표본은 우선 지역을 선점한 후 지역내 조사답변자를 선점하였다. 지역으로는 서울, 경산, 홍성이 선정되었고, 일반인은 무작위표집하였으며, 나머지는 각 지역의 병 의원을 통해 표집하였다. 자료수집에는 정신장애인 편견척도, 장애인 편견척도를 포함한 설문지를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 우리나라 일반인의 정신장애인에 대한 편견은 그다지 심하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한 인간으로서 이들을 수용하는 정도는 높았으나, 이들에게 '사회적응하여 사는 사람'으로 '사회인'으로서의 역할을 부여하는데 있어서는 아직까지 낮은 수용도를 보이고 있었다. 특히 병원에 입원한 정신장애인에 대한 부정적 인식이 컷으며, 사회봉사의 경험이 편견의 정도를 낮추는데 지대한 공헌을 하였다. 장애인에 대한 편견과의 비교에서는 격리치료에서는 정신장애인에게, 불임수술에서는 장애인에게 높은 편견적 태도를 보였다. 대도시에서의 편견은 낮은 반면, 중소도시와 군/읍단위에서의 편견은 항목별로 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 나이, 교육적도, 월수입에 따른 차이도 크게 보였다. 정신장애인들의 자기편견의 경우도 항목별 차이를 보이는 가운데 타인과의 관계속에서 이해되는 부분에 대한 편견이 높았다. 가족과 전문가에게서도 대체로 낮은 편견을 보이는 가운데 항목별 차이를 나타냈다. 이같은 결과는 특정편견에 긍정적, 부정적 영향을 미치는 요소들에 대해 전분가의 개입이 필요함을 드러내 준 것이다. 정신보건정책의 수립에 있어서도 입원치료중심의 정책이 아니라 지역사회에서 사회전체가 정신장애인들의 인권을 인정해주는 사회통합의 정책을 마련하여야 함도 시사해주고 있다고 하겠다.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 공감능력과 정신질환에 대한 태도와의 관련성을 확인하고 공감이 정신질환자에 대한 태도의 하위척도에 미치는 영향력을 파악하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구대상자는 D광역시에 소재한 간호학과에 재학중인 4학년을 대상으로 2017년 6월에 자료 수집하였으며 SPSS.19프로그램을 이용하여 통계처리 하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 공감능력은 정신질환자에 대한 태도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 각각의 하위척도에 미치는 공감능력의 설명력은 자비심에 18%, 권위주의에 16%, 사회생활제한 영역에 9%, 지역정신보건개념에 4%로 나타났다. 결론적으로 공감능력이 높아질수록 정신질환자에 대한 권위주의가 낮아지고 자비심은 증가되며 사회생활지원에 대해 긍정적이며 지역정신보건개념이 긍정적으로 형성되어 전반적으로 정신질환자에 대한 긍정적인 태도가 증가되는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 간호 대학생의 치료적 관계 형성을 위해 요구되는 공감 능력 함양을 위한 체계적인 교육과 훈련이 필요하며 이 같은 노력은 정신질환자에 대한 인식개선에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

More and Tore emphasis is put on moral treatment in the care of psychiatric patients. Methods employed for moral treatment rake use of therapeutic activity for the mentally ill patient. In some psychiatric hospitals all of the therapeutic activities are categorized as occupational therapy, while in others these activities are departmentally categorized -recreational, musical, occupational and bibliotherapy. All of these constitute separate departmental therapies. By research, it is known at this time, that the above activities have been of great help in personality integration, reeducation and early recovery of patients, as well as in their social adjustment after discharge. The goal of these therapeutic activities incorporate the goals set by healthier interpersonal relationship and psychotherapy. Put the therapeutic activities require a prolonged time of therapy for effectiveness, economic support, special trained personnel, careful planning, guidance and proper evaluation. Therefore this treatment is a very complicated one. But it may be the most profitable therapy for certain patients. One true fact about this treatment is, that simple recreation, occupation, music, reading, etc., make the patients life in the ward more interesting and have a good effect on the interpersonal relationship between patients. Thus it has been proved that this kind of treatment demands the active and full participation of the personnel and the full support of the hospital administration.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a self-management program for community dwelling patients with chronic mental illness so that they could improve their daily living skills and interpersonal relationships. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-post test design was used. The participants with chronic mental illness were recruited from a community mental health center. Twenty-two participants were assigned to the intervention group and 19 to the control group. The self-management was provided by 8 trained nursing students, and consisted of 8 sessions including education and practice. Each session was composed of strategies to improve self-care of community dwelling patients with chronic mental illness. Baseline and post-intervention measurements were done using a daily living skill performance scale and interpersonal relationship instrument. Results: Scores for daily living skill performance were not statistically significant, but scores for interpersonal relationship were statistically significant. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the self-management program had a positive impact on patients with chronic mental disorders. Therefore, it is suggested that the program could be used as an effective nursing intervention for patients with chronic mental disorders being cared for in community mental health centers.

This is an integrative review paper of Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) simulation programs in the mental health area including the analysis of the general characteristics, contents, and the impact of the interventions studies. The keywords used to search the studies were "AR/VR" and "medical/nursing students". The author and a postdoctoral research fellow searched four electronic databases: Web of Science, PubMed, EmBase, and CINHA, and as a result nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Among the selected studies AR/VR simulation programs in the mental health area for healthcare professionals were found to be effective in clinical skills as well as for the interpersonal relationship and the stigma of mentally ill patients. Providing an opportunity to experience a safe and effective tool is important when educating health professionals and AR/VR simulation programs are safe and effective. Thus, standardized AR/VR simulation programs are needed to be developed for health professionals.

The trend in modern nursing is toward the performance of comprehensive nursing care. Psychiatric nursing emphasizes education which enables the nurse to understand the underlying difficulties being expressed through a wide range of emotions and through practice to be more adept in her selection of a manner of approach which best meets the needs of a given situation. Presently, in Korea, there is nothing in the literature regarding evaluation of the effect of psychiatric nursing education on the attitudes of nurses towards mental illness and mentally ill patients. This stud!1 was attempted in order to understand 1) some of the problems in psychiatric nursing education 2) some of tile factors which affect the attitudes of nurses towards mental illness and mental patients. A questionnaire, a Korean translation of the "Opinions about Mental illness Scale" by Cohen and Stranding, 1962, was administered to 188 nonpsychiatric registered nurses employed in Yonsei University Hospital (Y. Hospital) and Seoul National University Hospital (S. Hospital) located in the city of Seoul. All of the nurses were directly involved with adult patient care. They graduated from various nursing schools. The data was collected during the period of October 2 to October 16,1972. The age, educational background , marital status, type of previous psychiatric experience, experience as a graduate nurse and close personal relationship with someone who was a psychiatric patient were compared with the O.M.I. scores. The mean and standard errors for each of the comparison groups were computed and tile relationships calculated by a t-test. The results of the study are summarized as follow: 1. There is no significant difference between the age of the nurses and their attitudes toward mental illness and mental patients. 2. There is no significant difference between the. educational backgrounds of the nurses and their attitudes toward mental illness and mental patients. 3. There is a significant difference in the nurses ′student psychiatric nursing experience and their attitudes towards mental illness and mental patients for the nurses in 5. Hospital only. The nurses who had 3-4 week of student psychiatric nursing experience had a significantly higher mean score for Benevolence (factor B) than nurses whose student psychiatric experience had been less than 1 Ivcek (P<0.05). The nurses who had 1-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks and more than 4 weeks of student psychiatric nursing experience had significantly higher mean scores for Interpersonal Ethology (factor E) than nurses whose student psychiatric had been less than 1 week (p<0.05), 4. There is a significant difference in the nurses′student psychiatric nursing experience by types of institution and their attitudes towards mental illness and mental patients for S. Hospital nurses only. The nurses who had their student psychiatric nursing experience in the government psychiatric hospitals recorded significantly higher mean score for Authoritarianism (factor A) than nurses who had their. experience in private psychiatric hospitals (p<0.05). 5. There is no significant difference in the nurses′psychiatric nursing experience as a graduate nurse and their attitudes toward mental illness and mental patients. 6. There is no significant difference in the nature and variety of the nurses′experience as a graduate nurse and their attitude toward mental illness and mental patients. 7. There is no significant difference in the presence or absence of a close personal relationship with a mentally ill person and the nurses′attitude toward mental illness and mental patients. 8. There is no significant difference in the nurses′ marital status and their attitude toward mental illness and mental patients. 9. There is no significant difference between the nurses who were employed ill S. and Y. hospitals and their attitudes towards mental illness and mental patients. Major suggestion for further study was to have more larger and wider scale research for establishing of the reliability and validity of the Korean translation of the O.H.I. Scale.
