Methods: Meta-analysis of correlations among the three subfactors of TAS-20, as well as between the three subfactors of TAS-20 and the criterion variable (depression). Results: Correlation between DIF and DDF factors was consistently high, while correlation between EOT factor and the DIF and DDF factors combined was generally low. Correlation between criterion variable (depression) and the DIF and DDF factors combined was significant, while correlation between the criterion variable (depression) and the EOT factors was low or non-significant. The results were the same across five groups that are diagnostically disparate from each other (addiction, depression/anxiety, eating disorders, medical disease, healthy subjects). Conclusions: The findings of the meta-analysis indirectly support the recently raised alternative two-factor structure of TAS-20, suggesting that the EOT factor is heterogeneous from the other factors. We suggest separating the EOT subfactor scores from the total scores for proper utilization of TAS-20.","PeriodicalId":243380,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Stress Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122248940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: Among 907 subjects, 102 (11.3%) were classified as CHR, and there was no difference according to demographic variables. Influencing factors of CHR were perceived stress, resilience, and social function. In the modified model, perceived stress, family adaptability and cohesion, and social support demonstrated a significant effect on coping. Perceived stress, family adaptability, cohesion, and coping demonstrated a significant influence on resilience. Perceived stress, coping, resilience, and social function demonstrated a significant influence on CHR. Conclusions: We suggest future research on the early stages of adolescence, and research that includes face-to-face surveys. Moreover, we recommend the development and selection of tools that can explain each influencing factor more lucidly.","PeriodicalId":243380,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Stress Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116882777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mediating effect was analyzed and testing of the structural equation model was done using PROCESS macro and AMOS. Results: The main results were as follows. First, it was found that perceived stress affected SNS addiction tendency by partially mediating both inadequacy and self-control. Second, a significant multiple mediator model was observed through the sequential process of inadequacy as well as self-control. This sequential process fully mediated the relationship between perceived stress and SNS addiction tendency.

Results: The search yielded 173 articles, 8 of which met the criteria and were included in the review. All of the selected studies had a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Simulation programs varied from 1 to 10 sessions. Although all of the simulation programs included assessments of communication ability, improving communication ability was not included in the simulation program context. Conclusions: Most of the selected studies adopted disease-focused care simulation programs and measured communication skill changes as one of the effects of the program. Either a simulator or a standardized patient was used in the simulation programs. However, most of the studies did not address communication ability or competence in the content of the program. Therefore, in-depth communication skills to build relationships with patients and caregivers needs to be included in the simulation program content.","PeriodicalId":243380,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Stress Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117196698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This study used data of Korean adults obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES, 2015 ∼ 2018). After excluding participants with missing data, a total of 14,021 participants were included for analysis. Participants were classified as depressed if they had experienced depression within the past two weeks, or were currently depressed, or were diagnosed as depressed. For the main analysis, participants were classified into five groups by resting heart rate (RHR), i.e., < 60 bpm (beats per minute), 60 ∼ 69 bpm, 70 ∼ 79 bpm, 80 ∼ 89 bpm, and ≥ 90 bpm. The correlation between RHR and symptoms of depression was examined using logistic regression analysis after controlling for the confounders. Results: Compared to the participants with RHR of < 60 bpm, the participants with RHR of 80 ∼ 89 bpm or ≥ 90 bpm showed higher level of symptoms of depression. [Men: 80 ∼ 89 bpm by 1.77 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07 ∼ 2.93) and ≥ 90 bpm by 3.20 (95% CI, 1.68 ∼ 6.08), Women: ≥ 90 bpm by 1.71 (95% CI, 1.04 ∼ 2.81)]. Further stratified analyses were performed and yielded similar results regardless of the potential confounders such as age, BMI, income, marital status, and levels of physical activity. Conclusions: RHR was significantly associated with symptoms of depression. This study suggests the importance of RHR as a predictor of the risk of depression.","PeriodicalId":243380,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Stress Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122569249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
