이 연구는 우리나라에서 영주권을 얻었거나 귀화한 외국인들의 정신건강과 한국문화 동화 간의 관계를 고찰하였다. 영주권자 및 귀화자의 건강을 포함한 가장 최근 자료인 2012년 거주외국인 조사자료가 분석에 활용되었다. 분석에 사용된 주요변수는 한국거주기간과 한국어 수준으로 측정된 문화동화 수준과 정신건강이었다. 문화동화수준이 영주권자와 귀화자의 정신건강을 보호하는 것처럼 보였지만 통제변수들이 분석에 추가된 후 그 효과는 사라졌다. 이러한 경향은 다른 나라에서 발견된 문화동화와 정신건강 간의 일반적 결과에 융합하지 않는 결과이다. 한편 차별경험이 이주민 건강에 매우 중요한 변수임이 발견되었다.

이 연구는 최근 노인들의 스트레스와 우울, 자살생각 등 정신건강 폐해의 심각성을 인지하고 이에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 삶의 질, 건강행태, 건강수준 등과 정신건강 간의 구조적인 관계를 검증하고자 수행하였다. 연구 자료는 전 국민을 모집단으로 체계적인 표본조사를 실시한 2009년 국민건강영양조사의 원자료에서 65세 이상 노인들 중 연구에 적합한 1,490명을 최종 연구대상자로 선정하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 노인들의 삶의 질이 높을수록 스트레스, 우울, 그리고 자살생각 등을 감소시키는 효과가 있었다. 또한 삶의 질은 건강수준을 강화시켜 정신건강을 증진시키는 효과가 있었다. 둘째, 흡연, 문제음주, 비만, 적당한 운동과 수면 등으로 측정한 건강행태가 정신건강에 직접적인 영향은 없었으나, 건강수준을 매개로 한 간접효과를 확인하였다. 이 연구결과를 기반으로 노인의 정신건강 증진을 위해서는 삶의 질 제고를 우선적으로 고려하면서, 건강행태를 변화시키려는 체계적인 노력이 중요하다 하겠다.

본 연구는 외상후스트레스와 정신건강간의 구조적 관계에서 회복탄력성이 갖는 매개효과를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전남, 광주 사회복지사를 대상으로 외상경험, 외상후스트레스, 사회적지지, 회복탄력성, 정신건강척도를 이용하여 설문조사 하였고, 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 외상후스트레스, 회복탄력성, 정신건강 간에 직접적인 영향관계가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 둘째, 회복탄력성은 외상후스트레스와 정신건강간의 영향관계에서 부분적인 매개효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이 결과를 토대로 사회복지사의 회복탄력성과 정신건강의 증진을 위한 포괄적인 개입방법을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 요양보호사의 직무스트레스와 정신건강과의 관계에서 정서조절곤란의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 노인요양기관에서 근무하는 요양보호사 154명을 대상으로 요양보호사 직무스트레스척도, 한국판 정서조절곤란 질문지, 간이정신진단검사를 시행하였다. 위계적 회귀분석을 통해 직무스트레스, 정서조절곤란, 정신건강 간의 직접 효과를 검증하고, 부트스트랩 검증을 통해 직무스트레스와 정신건강에 대한 정서조절곤란의 매개효과 유의성을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 직무스트레스와 정신건강과의 관계에서 정서조절곤란의 하위요인 중 전략적 접근 제한과 명료성의 부족은 완전매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 요양보호사의 정신건강을 위해서는 직무스트레스를 경감시키는 것만으로는 부족하고, 요양보호사들이 자신의 부정적인 정서를 다룰 수 있는 조절능력을 기를 수 있는 방안이 필요함을 시사한다.

This pilot study explored the effect of mental demand on a Web searcher's thoughts, emotions, efforts, and performance in Web searches in order to address whether or not there is any difference between searchers exposed to mental demand manipulation and searchers not exposed. Research data were collected via think-aloud protocol (TAP) with a dual-task in experiments and interviews with 10 subjects who participated in this study. For the searcher's thoughts, relevance judgment was found to be hindered by mental demand. For the searcher's emotions, the experimental group was more frustrated than the control group. With respect to the searcher's efforts, searchers for the experimental group with mental demand manipulation were more likely to spend more time, make fewer queries, and visit fewer pages but work harder to find more relevant information that they needed. Lastly, with regard to the searcher's performance, it is likely that performance was highly dependent upon the completion of the search tasks for both groups. The NASA-TLX six components and cognitive load scores of searchers did not make a significant difference in the outcome. The findings support the use of a dual-task methodology as a promising approach for the assessment of cognitive load induced by complex Web searches.

Objectives: This study aimed to prepare basic data to improve the health-related quality of life of cancer survivors by confirming their oral and mental health statuses and identifying factors affecting their health-related quality of life. Methods: Of all participants in the 8th KNHANES (2019-2020), adults aged 19 years or older who responded 'yes' to the diagnosis of cancer and 404 cancer survivors who responded 'none' to the current cancer prevalence item were selected as the final research participants. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to confirm the effect of cancer survivors' oral and mental health on health-related quality of life. Results: Subjective oral health (p<0.01), chewing problems (p<0.05), subjective health (p<0.001), and depression (p<0.01) had an effect on health-related quality of life from multiple regression analyses. Conclusions: Therefore, oral and mental health promotion may improve health-related quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to recognize the importance of oral and mental health and implement preventive education and programs.

Purpose: We investigated the effects of physical practice, mental practice, and cross education using serial reaction time (SRT). We recruited 21 right-handed healthy males and females who gave consent and had no clinical history for their upper limbs. Methods: The subjects were divided into three groups; actual practice (n=7), mental practice (n=7), and controls (n=7), who performed actual training, mental training, or no intervention respectively for three weeks. Super lab 4.0 displayed four symbols on the monitor and subjects pushed on the matching button, with reaction time assessed pre- and post-intervention. Results: Reaction time was significantly lower after actual or mental practice (p<0.05). Actual practice also decreased left hand reaction time. Conclusion: Actual practice and mental practice can improve motor learning, but mental practice is not sufficient for cross education.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a school-based social skills training program on peer relationships in children and adolescents and to assess the plan for effective school-based mental health services. Methods: The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Promotion Team of Bugok National Hospital conducted 7-sessioned school-based social skills training for elementary and middle school students (n=90). Changes in peer relationships were evaluated before and after application of the program using a name generator question. Results: The social skills training program increased peer relations, indicating significant changes in social network indices. Conclusion: The social skills training program positively influenced peer relationships. The school-based social skills training program can be expected to have positive effects on school-based mental health services. Future investigation is needed to validate the long term effects of this program.

Purpose : Various studies effects of mental practice. However, there is a lack of research on the effects of practice on postural alignment. Therefore this study to the effect of ankle exercise combined with mental practice on postural alignment of legs. Method : Subjects were randomly assigned to mental practice group (experimental group n=15) and general exercise group (control group n=15). Postural alignment was the hip, knee, and ankle joints. When viewed from the side, an arbitrary point in front of the malleolus makes a straight line with the plumb line. Exercise was performed a week for weeks. Exercise programs included muscle strengthening, relaxation, and proprioception exercise. The experimental group mental practice. Result : Both groups showed significant differences in postural alignment ankle joint, knee joint, and hip joint. In particular, the experimental group showed a larger change than the control group. However, significant difference in postural alignment change only the knee joint (p<0.05), and there was no significant difference the hip joint (experimental group=$0.77{\pm}0.81$, control group=$0.87{\pm}1.13$) and ankle joint (experimental group=$0.52{\pm}0.63$, control group=$0.48{\pm}0.41$). Conclusion : This study suggests that mental practice is effective as an exercise method postural alignment. Mental practice also expected to be musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore, additional studies should be conducted to verify the effect of mental practice on the alignment of various parts.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship among musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health of home-care workers. Methods: Data were collected from 447 home-care workers spanning three occupation types: life supporters for the elderly, home-visit caregivers, and life supporters for the disabled. Musculoskeletal problems, sleep problems, and self-rated mental health were assessed using structured questionnaires. Factors affecting self-rated mental health were analyzed using multiple regression. SPSS was used to test the mediating effects of sleep problems on musculoskeletal problems and self-rated mental health. Results: Among the general characteristics, the variables that showed significant differences in musculoskeletal problems were monthly income level, caring-related career duration, weekly working hours, and occupation type; and the variable that showed significant differences in self-rated mental health was occupation type. Among the occupation types, supporters for the disabled had the most musculoskeletal problems and the lowest self-rated mental health. Musculoskeletal problems among home-care workers had a direct negative effect on self-rated mental health and indirect negative effects on sleep problems. Conclusion: Measures are needed to reduce the differences in working conditions and health status among the occupation types of home-care workers. Considering the relevance between the health issues of home-care workers, the development of a carefully designed health promotion strategy is required.
