Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify predictors of clinical efficacy of oriental medical treatment for patients with panic disorder. Methods: We analyzed medical records of 41 patients who were diagnosed with panic disorder through DSM-IV or ICD-10 by 2 oriental medical neuro-psychiatrists. We performed frequency analysis of demographic characteristics in patients with panic disorder, and assessed the correlation between the psychological scales by Pearson correlation. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to compare the psychological scales during the treatment; and Single regression analysis was used to analyze the factors that have correlation to improvement of panic disorder by oriental medical treatment. Psychological scales used in the study were STAI-X-1/2, STAXI-S/T, BDI2, BAI, BSQ, PAS, ASI, LOT-R, SWLS, LSES and LSMS. Results: Patients' demographic characteristics indicated that there were twice more female than male patients; furthermore, there was a high ratio of patients in their 20s and 30s, with the highest percentage of onset-age in the 20s and average duration of panic disorder from 1~5 years. More than half of the total patient cohort comprised of those who had panic disorder with agoraphobia and major depressive disorder; in addition, major accompanied symptoms were dyspepsia, chest discomfort and headache. After treatment, most scores of psychological scales were significantly reduced, and correlation between the psychological scales was significant. Furthermore, we identified some factors that were significantly correlated to improvement of panic disorder by oriental medical treatment. Conclusions: In conclusion, treatment of panic disorder with oriental medicine was clinically efficient and improved the quality of life.

목 적 : 건강한 수면은 중요하며 회복탄력성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 교대근무 간호사와 주간 고정 근무 간호사 두 집단에서 회복탄력성의 차이를 비교하고 회복탄력성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 조사해보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 두 개의 종합병원에 근무하는 만 20세 이상의 여성 교대근무 간호사와 주간고정근무 간호사 400명을 대상으로 하였으며 2017년 6월 12일부터 2018년 6월 12일까지 설문조사하였다. 한글판 스트레스 자각척도, 스트레스 대처전략 축약형, 사회심리적 건강측정도구, 한국판 역학연구센터 우울척도, 상태불안척도, 피츠버그 수면의 질 지수, 엡워스 주간졸음 척도, 불면증 심각도 척도, 코너 데이비슨 리질리언스 척도 질문지를 적용하였다. 결 과 : 교대근무간호사와 고정근무간호사 두 집단 간의 변수 통계량을 비교한 결과 스트레스 자각, 수면의 질, 주간 졸음증을 제외한 모든 변수에서 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이를 나타내었다. 회복탄력성과 유의한 상관을 보인 요소들은 근무자들의 스트레스 대처전략, 사회 심리적 건강수준, 우울증, 불면증 심각도 이었다(p < 0.05). 다중회귀분석에서는 긍정적 재구성1이 커질수록(β = 0.206, p < 0.001), 우울증이 줄어들수록(β = -3.45, p < 0.001), 사회심리적 건강수준이 높아질수록(β = 0.193, p < 0.001), 수용적 대처2가 증가할수록(β = 0.129, p < 0.05), 주간졸음이 줄어들수록(β = -1.17, p < 0.05), 적극적 대처2가 증가할수록(β = 0.118, p < 0.05), 긍정적 재구성2가 증가할수록(β = 0.110, p < 0.05) 회복탄력성이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서는 교대근무자에 비해 주간고정 근무자의 회복탄력성이 높음을 밝힐 수 있었다. 또한 특정 스트레스 대처 전략과 사회심리적 건강수준, 수면, 우울증이 회복탄력성과 연관이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 더 많은 수면과 회복탄력성과의 관계를 밝히는 전향적 연구들이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: This study investigates the impact of M&L psychotherapy on an adolescent with anxiety disorders transitioning into adulthood, using a retrospective mixed-method approach. Methods: An adolescent with Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5-diagnosed anxiety disorders underwent combined treatment with M&L psychotherapy and complex Korean medicine therapy over a period of approximately two years. Patient records tracked the diagnosis, treatments, and progress. In-depth interviews were also conducted. The study used a convergent parallel mixed-method approach, integrating quantitative analysis from psychological assessments, including the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-X), the Core Seven Emotions Inventory-short form (CSEI-s), and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), with qualitative analyses of traditional Korean medicine counseling session notes, interviews, and other qualitative psychological assessments. Results: State anxiety decreased from 40 to 36, and trait anxiety decreased from 42 to 34. MMPI-2 L scale scores decreased slightly to 64T, whereas S scale scores increased to 62T, and FRS scores decreased to 70T from an initial score of 78T. Qualitative analysis revealed an increase in the MMPI-2 Es scale, identified as "subjectivity." Joy (喜) emerged as the highest emotional profile score in the CSEI-S. Scores for anger (怒), thought (思), fear (恐), and fright (驚) decreased, indicating improved negative emotions. Qualitatively, expressions of determination to "move forward" and "strengthen the mind" were noted, suggesting enhanced "lower danjeon (下丹田)." Conclusions: Integrating traditional Korean medicine treatment with M&L psychotherapy for a vulnerable adolescent with anxiety disorders demonstrated efficacy. Further research is warranted to substantiate the effectiveness of M&L psychotherapy and advocate for its wider adoption in mainstream practice.
