Abstract
PDF - Background
The study aim was to explore and integrate the experiences of individuals with substance addiction in South Korea using a ecological model to identify risk factors and relapse triggers across multiple dimensions.
Methods
This integrative review was conducted using Whittemore and Knafl’s five-step integrative review method. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using five Korean electronic databases from June 13 to July 25, 2023. Keywords included “narcotic,” “drug,” “addict,” and “recovery.”
Results
A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. Risk and relapse factors in narcotics addiction were categorized into intrapersonal (emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physical, physiological), interpersonal (family, relationships, occupation), community (social, structural), and public policy (legal, institutional) aspects. These factors interacted to form a complex structure that heightened addiction risk and overlapped as both risk and relapse factors.
Conclusions
Narcotics addiction remains a serious public health issue that is exacerbated by various intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, and public policy-related factors. The study findings underscore the multifaceted nature of addiction and relapse and provide a broad perspective on the complexities of prevention and recovery strategies.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This integrative review study aims to analyze the core components, intervention strategies, and effects of psychosocial intervention programs conducted for children and adolescents in Korea who have experienced traumatic events.
Methods
The integrative review involved a search of major domestic databases using key terms such as 'children’, 'adolescents’, 'trauma’, 'post-traumatic stress’, 'intervention’, and 'education’. A total of 10 studies were selected for analysis based on predefined criteria.
Results
The 10 selected studies were categorized into three types of interventions based on the environment and structure of the intervention delivery: individual-based interventions targeting only children and adolescents, family-based interventions involving family members, and school-based interventions conducted within schools. These interventions were found to be effective in addressing mental health issues caused by trauma in children and adolescents.
Conclusions
Despite the serious nature of traumatic experiences among children and adolescents, this integrative review found that domestic research on psychosocial interventions for this population lacks rigorous study design and is limited in the selection of participants and trauma events. Therefore, the study suggests the need for the development and dissemination of more proactive psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents. The findings of this study are expected to serve as foundational data for the development of trauma managing programs for this population.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This study aims to analyze intervention studies conducted on infertile females in South Korea and research and research the core elements comprising these studies.
Methods
The integrative review was conducted based on the guidelines of Whittmore and Knafl, and included the following steps: problem identification, literature search, data evaluation, data analysis, and presentation. Next, six domestic databases were searched using keywords such as ‘infertility’, ‘intervention’, and ‘education’ in Korean and English, and published studies were reviewed according to specific criteria and quality assessment.
Results
Among 4,109 searched papers, 6 were selected for the final data analysis. A total of six interventions were conducted in the selected articles, and each strategy was variously categorized into cognitive, emotional, behavioral, relational, and physical aspects. All interventions were found to be effective in promoting psychosocial health in infertile females.
Conclusions
Despite the fact that female infertility is a major public health problem in Korea, the low number of articles reveals a relative lack of psychosocial intervention studies. Therefore, it is suggested that future studies incorporate physiological endpoints into psychosocial studies, and we hope that this study will serve as a basis for developing programs for infertile females in the future.
