Factors associated with Self-Rated Health in Metabolic Syndrome and Relationship between Sleep Duration and Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors: Bo Gyeong Lee, Jae Yeon Lee, Sun Ah Kim, Dong Min Son, Ok Kyung Ham; J Korean Acad Nurs 2015;45(3):420-428. Published online June 30, 2015; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2015.45.3.420

Purpose

Purpose was to explore associations between sleep duration and metabolic syndrome (MS) risks, and to determine factors associated with self-rated health (SRH) of adults with MS compared to other adults.

Methods

This is a secondary data analysis based on the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey KNHANES V (N=12662). Study instruments included sleep duration, MS risk factors, SRH and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Results

Mean age of participants was 43.68±12.26 years. Fifty-eight percent were women, and 18.3% were identified as having MS. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and SRH were significantly different according to sleep duration (p<.05) among all participants. In the non MS group, male gender, younger age (19~30 and 41~50 age brackets) upper income level, sufficient sleep duration, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were positively associated with SRH, whereas, lower education levels (≤ middle school), glucose level, and waist circumference were negatively associated with SRH (p<.05). In the MS group, lower income, lower education levels (≤ middle school), glucose level, and waist circumference were negatively associated with SRH, whereas, having an occupation was positively associated with SRH (p<.05).

Conclusion

Results suggest that tailored approaches are required for prevention and control of MS and sleep duration of each individual should be considered rather than applying standardized guidelines. However, as sleep quality was not included in the analysis, further investigations regarding influence of sleep quality on MS and SRH and controlling for other lifestyle and health behavior factors are required.

Effectiveness of the Military Mental Health Promotion Program: Chung Hee Woo, Sun Ah Kim; J Korean Acad Nurs 2014;44(6):717-725. Published online December 31, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2014.44.6.717

Abstract PDF: Purpose
This study was done to evaluate the Military Mental Health Promotion Program. The program was an email based cognitive behavioral intervention.
Methods
The research design was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Participants were 32 soldiers who agreed to participate in the program. Data were collected at three different times from January 2012 to March 2012; pre-test, post-test, and a one-month follow-up test. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 18.0. The effectiveness of the program was tested by repeated measures ANOVA.
Results
The first hypothesis that the level of depression in the experimental group who participated in the program would decrease compared to the control group was not supported in that the difference in group-time interaction was not statistically significant (F=2.19, p=.121). The second and third hypothesis related to anxiety and self-esteem were supported in group-time interaction, respectively (F=7.41, p=.001, F=11.67, p<.001).
Conclusion
Results indicate that the program is effective in improving soldiers' mental health status in areas of anxiety and self-esteem.

A Predictive Model of Depression in Rural Elders-Decision Tree Analysis: Seong Eun Kim, Sun Ah Kim; J Korean Acad Nurs 2013;43(3):442-451. Published online June 28, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2013.43.3.442

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This descriptive study was done to develop a predictive model of depression in rural elders that will guide prevention and reduction of depression in elders.

Methods

A cross-sectional descriptive survey was done using face-to-face private interviews. Participants included in the final analysis were 461 elders (aged≥ 65 years). The questions were on depression, personal and environmental factors, body functions and structures, activity and participation. Decision tree analysis using the SPSS Modeler 14.1 program was applied to build an optimum and significant predictive model to predict depression in rural elders.

Results

From the data analysis, the predictive model for factors related to depression in rural elders presented with 4 path-ways. Predictive factors included exercise capacity, self-esteem, farming, social activity, cognitive function, and gender. The accuracy of the model was 83.7%, error rate 16.3%, sensitivity 63.3%, and specificity 93.6%.

Conclusion

The results of this study can be used as a theoretical basis for developing a systematic knowledge system for nursing and for developing a protocol that prevents depression in elders living in rural areas, thereby contributing to advanced depression prevention for elders.

Influencing Factors on Problem Behaviors among Adolescents: Focused on Middle School Students in Seoul: Myung Sun Hyun, Kyung Hee Kim, Sun Ah Kim; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2004;34(2):252-260. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2004.34.2.252

Abstract PDF

Purpose

This study was to investigate the factors influencing problem behaviors among adolescents.

Method

The subjects for this study were 596 students in middle school in Seoul. The data was collected during the period from May to November, 2001 by use of questionnaires. The instruments used were the Child Problem Behavior list by Hong (1986), the Body Cathexis Scale by Secord and Jourard(1953), and the Beck Depression Inventory by Beck(1978). The data was analyzed by using the SPSS-Win program.

Result

Problem behaviors showed a significant negative correlation with body image (r= -.310. p=.000) and positive correlation with depression (r=.674, p=.000). There were significant differences in the problem behavior scores of subjects according to sex, family status, economic status, and school scores. Female students were found to have a high degree of internalized problem behaviors. In addition, depression, body image, and sex were significant predictors to explain problem behaviors(47.3%). Depression, sex, grade, and school scores were significant predictors to explain externalized problem behaviors(21.9%) and depression and body image, internalized problem behaviors(51.4%).

Conclusion

Since predicting factors of problem behaviors among middle school students by problem behavior type and sex were different, then practitioners should consider these differences when developing programs for them.

Stressful Life Event., Close Relationship, Self-Esteem, and Depression in College Women: Sun Ah Kim, In Ohg Oh; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 1999;29(5):1021-1029. Published online March 29, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.1999.29.5.1021

Abstract PDF

Koreans rarely complain of depression or other psychological problems because mental illness is viewed as a stigmatizing and threatening experience. This study examined the relationships among stressful life events, close relationships, self-esteem, and depression in 400 college women aged 18 to 30 years. Depression was positively related to stressful life events(r=.21 p=<.01). Depression and stressful life events were negatively associated with self-esteem(r=-.67: r=-.11, p<.01; p<.05 respectively). Close relationships with women and men friends were each negatively associated with depression (r=-.24; r=-.16, p<.05). Close relationships with women and men friends were positively associated with self-esteem (r=.23; r=.20, p<.01). Forty nine percent of variance in depression rates in this sample was explained. After adjustment for degrees of freedom, a total of 49% of the variance in depression was explained by self-esteem and stressful life event. This investigation into the relationships among the variables influencing depression for college women is a critical issue as health professional interventions are those designed for specific populations to meet unique care needs and since young Korean women may be at considerable risk for depression.
