Abstract
According to previous studies, sexual minority orientation is reported to be associated with higher risk of suicidal behaviors than heterosexual orientation. Considering the gravity of the consequences of suicide, the above results deserve further investigation by researchers. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the relationship between sexual orientation and suicide risk by analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles registered in PsycINFO database from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2016 inclusive. The results indicated that the number of journal articles on sexual orientation and suicide has been on the rise over time. The research methods of the literature were divided into two major categories: empirical research and theoretical/literature review, and the former is subdivided into quantitative, qualitative, and meta-analytic research. Except for the meta-analytic research, the sexual orientation self-reported by people who participated in empirical research was classified into five categories: Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual(LGB), Heterosexual(H), Questioning/Unsure(Q), Lesbian and Gay(LG), and others. The content of entire papers this article includes largely falls into three categories: the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal behaviors and mediating and moderating factors which affect the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal behaviors. Finally, encapsulated results of the current article as well as the need and direction of related research in the future were discussed.
Abstract
This purpose of this study was to understand the marital relationship of bereaved parents of the Sewol Ferry disaster after the death of a child. Giorgi’s phenomenological method was employed to deduct 7 components and 25 subcomponents from statements of deep interview of 15 participants. The participants’ experience of marital relationship is divided into ‘the difference of married couples’, ‘grief reaction and grieving style’, ‘couples` relationship after death of their child’ and ‘parents who live for their child: meaning of surviving children and a deceased child’. The components are: ‘wives enduring sorrow of bereavement’, ‘husbands avoiding grief’, ‘changes in couples’ daily lives’, ‘exhausted by looking at a spouse’, ‘coping with grief’, ‘awareness of the value of a spouse’, ‘maintaining couples’ relationship for their child’. The discussion and implication were provided based on the results of this study.
Abstract
The study examined the phenomenon of academic adjustment in undergraduates from North Korea, who are continuously growing in South Korean society from a cultural adaptation perspective. In particular, it explored the major variables affecting academic experiences, strategies for coping and adaptation. Next, the academic adjustment process of undergraduates from North Korea was analyzed according to the passage of time. Lastly, the analysis was conducted on the type-setting of social adjustment in South Korea, based on academic adjustment experience of undergraduates from North Korea. In study, semi-structured interviews were conducted to 26 participants and their responses were analyzed on the basis of the Grounded theory developed by Strauss & Corbin(1990). The results indicated that the core feelings participants experienced in the course of academic adjustment in South Korea could be grouped into 5 categories: Emotional unbalance, Culture shock, Alienation, Difficulties and Sense of freedom. And their action response strategies were divided into acceptance versus avoidance of self-other, active versus passive response from academic life, and accept versus refusal acculturation to South Korea. Further, analysis of processes undergraduates from North Korea went through in their academic adjustment to South Korea revealed that there were four phases in adjustment: Confusion, Withering, Self understanding, and Acceptance of self identity in South Korea. Moreover, participants were divided into four type of acculturation in South Korea according to the dimensions of social adaptation skills acquisition and pursuit of inner-maturation: Confusion, Assimilation, Isolated inner-maturation, Socially connected inner-maturation. Finally, the findings were discussed in relation to relevant theories and research, and their implications for cultural adjustment and limitations of the present study were suggested.
Abstract
Anger suppression has been associated with depressive and physical symptoms, and this may be particularly true among emotional laborers such as nurses. Nurses may be required to suppress their emotions in their working environments, and they report anger as the most frequently experienced emotion. To this end, the present study investigated the effect of anger suppression on somatization symptoms, as well as the mediating effect of depressive symptoms in a sample of nurses. The Korean version of State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-K), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Symptom Check List 90-Revision (SCL-90-R) were completed by 138 nurses working in university hospitals in Seoul or Cheong-ju for more than 6 months. Analysis using the PROCESS macro indicated that the direct effect of anger suppression on somatization symptoms was not significant, but the indirect effect of depressive symptoms in this relationship was significant. These findings suggest that anger suppression in nurses may not directly lead to somatization symptoms, but may indirectly explain somatization symptoms through depressive symptoms. The results indicate the importance of early detection of depressive symptoms in relation to anger suppression.
