Impact of Discrimination on Help-Seeking Behavior Among Individuals With Serious Mental Illness in South Korea
This study investigated the relationship between perceived discrimination, help-seeking behaviors, and the adequacy of social participation services among individuals with serious mental illness in South Korea. Data were drawn from a 2020 survey conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, involving 607 participants who used community-based mental health rehabilitation facilities. Structural equation modeling was employed to examin…
Development and spatial characteristics of housing support services for individuals with psychiatric disabilities in South Korea
This study aims to explore the evolution of mental health housing policies and spatial characteristics for individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities (IWPDs) in South Korea. This study utilised qualitative methods, including literature review and case analysis, to investigate changes of housing policies and spatial characteristics of residential facilities and independent housing for IWPDs in South Korea. The findings indicate that current housing…
Factors associated with the preventive healthcare service use among older adults in Korea
The importance of preventive health examinations for older adults has been well emphasized due to an increase in chronic diseases associated with age. In this study, we estimated the preventive health examination participation rate and its associated factors among the elderly with specific focuses on the moderating effects between age and socioeconomic status. We used data drawn from the first to sixth waves (4164 people) of the Korean Longitudin…
Two‐dimensional mental health and related predictors among adolescents in Korea
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 signific…
The trajectory of life satisfaction and its associated factors among adolescents in South Korea
Korean adolescents are reportedly unhappy, dissatisfied with their lives, yet little is known about why. This study is set out to examine their life satisfaction and its change over time and the factors associated with its change. The analyses were conducted using the data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey (2004–2008) on a total of 3449 adolescents. The latent growth curve modelling result shows that Korean adolescents’ life satisfaction had a l…
Estimating the Prevalence Rate of Child Physical and Psychological Maltreatment in South Korea
Examining the Relationship between Domestic Violence and Depression among Koreans
Domestic violence is a prevalent social issue in Korea affecting a significant number of people every day. It is thus important to examine how the experience of domestic violence affects their mental health to better address their needs. Using stress-coping theory as a theoretical framework, this study examines the domestic violence and depression relationship among Korean men and women. Two aspects of self-esteem and informal and formal social s…
The Reciprocal Relationship between Depressive Symptoms and Alcohol Consumption
As most previous studies have focused on a unidirectional relationship between depression and alcohol use using cross‐sectional data, not much is known about the reciprocal relationship between them. Using two waves of longitudinal data, this study examines their reciprocal relationship and whether it varies by employment status, using structural equation modeling (SEM). A theory‐based SEM was developed based on the tension reduction hypothesis a…
Overall Successful Aging
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 …
Assessment of Self-Esteem Among Individuals with Severe Mental Illness
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…
Factors influencing self-esteem among individuals with severe mental illness
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 mo…
