Serious mental illnesses (SMI) and problems with parenting are associated, but the link between change in psychiatric symptoms and change in parenting over time has not been examined. Three hypotheses were tested. Hypothesis 1: As symptoms decline, parenting stress will decline and parenting nurturance will improve. Hypothesis 2: High prior levels of symptoms have a continuing impact on parenting over time, persisting even when symptoms remit. Hypothesis 3: Both symptoms and parenting are influe

Little is known about the cross-sectional or longitudinal relationships between body weight and health at older ages. Using multilevel modeling analyses, this study examined the trajectories of body mass index (BMI), chronic health conditions (CHC), and functional disability (FD); factors associated with the trajectories; and the relationships between the trajectories. The sample of elders aged 65 and older participated in the Americans Changing Lives longitudinal study. Participants showed decr

Few studies have examined to what extent racial disparities in chronic health conditions (CHCs) are attributable to racial differences in body weight (measured as body mass index [BMI]) and socioeconomic status (SES) among older adults. To address this gap, using longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study, the current study examined risk factors of CHC trajectory including race, BMI, and SES. The sample consists of 22,560 in 1998, 20,825 in 2000, and 19,004 in 2002. Data analysis was

This study addresses the factors which affect the self-esteem of persons with psychiatric disabilities, with a specific focus on the role of causal attributions of mental illnesses. It is based on data collected from 461 persons with psychiatric disabilities (consumers) served through psychiatric rehabilitation agencies. The results of regression analyses revealed that household income, diagnosis, psychiatric symptoms, service satisfaction, perceived stigma, and perceptions of social roles were

본 연구는 한국 성인의 건강궤적 및 예측요인을 추정하고, 나아가 건강궤적 및 예측요인이 성인기, 중․장년기, 노년기의 세 연령대별로 차이가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 한국복지패널 1차년도(2006년)부터 7차년도(2012년)까지의 자료를 이용하였으며, 분석대상은 2006년 기준으로 19세 이상 성인 14,613명을 포함하였다. 건강궤적을 추정하기 위해서는 무조건부 잠재성장모형을 이용하였고, 건강궤적의 예측요인을 살펴보기 위해서는 조건부 잠재성장모형 분석을 하였으며, 건강궤적 및 예측요인의 연령대별 차이를 살펴보기 위해서 다중집단분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 한국 성인들은 해마다 증가하는 만성질환 궤적을 나타내었고, 연령대별로 증가궤적의 차이가 있었다. 연령과 성별을 통제한 상태에서 사회경제적 지위변수로 포함된 교육과 소득은 모두 만성질환 궤적에 유의한 영향을 나타내었고, 건강검진횟수와 흡연을 제외한 모든 건강예측요인들이 궤적의 출발점이나 기울기에 유의한 영향을 보였다. 건강궤적의 예측요인에

This study analyzed affecting self-esteem among individuals with severe mental illness to identify effective targets for social work interventions. Data were obtained from 290 individuals with psychiatric disability recruited from community-based psychosocial rehabilitation agencies. Analyses using structural equation modeling revealed that self-esteem consists of two independent dimensions--self-worth and self-deprecation; characteristics are more influential than cognitive characteristics in p

As the concept of successful ageing (SA) tends to take different meanings among researchers, there is a lack of consensus on how to measure SA. In order to address this gap, the present study aims to explore the factor structure of SA involving SA indicators presented in the literature. Using Americans’ Changing Lives study (ACL), a second‐order confirmatory factor analysis on factors constituting an overall SA measure and a SEM regression model to examine the predictive factors of the overall S

A positive coping style can be critical to successful rehabilitation of psychiatric consumers. Using structural equation modeling, this study examined the relationships among consumers' psychological characteristics, self-esteem, and behaviors, and the role of self-esteem in mediating the relationships between psychological characteristics and behavioral coping. The sample consisted of 393 psychiatric consumers recruited from 25 psychosocial rehabilitation services (PSR) agencies. Key findings w

This paper provides an overview of mental health services in Korea. In order to understand the historical background of mental health service system development in Korea, this paper first provides a brief description on the history of the Korean mental health services, including a notably recent transition of mental health policy from long-term hospitalization to community-based mental health services. This paper then summarizes the characteristics of contemporary Korean mental health services i

SUMMARY This study examines whether the factor structure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale consists of two dimensions (Owens, 1993), and whether the two dimensions are associated with different predictive factors and behavioral outcomes among individuals with severe mental illness who are served by community-based, psychosocial rehabilitation agencies. Confirmatory factor analyses of data from these individuals indicated that the traditional global self-esteem scale does reflect two dimensions-

Abstract This study examined whether the factor structure of mental health consists of two dimensions (positive and negative mental health) and whether the two dimensions are associated with different predictors. For this purpose, data from the 471 adolescents who participated in the 2012 Children Supplementary Survey of Korean Welfare Panel Study were used. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the two‐factor correlated model fits the data significantly better than the one‐factor model. M
