Abstract PDF: Background
Suicide among military personnel is a critical issue that threatens both individual well-being and organizational readiness. Despite a growing body of literature on military suicide in Korea findings remain inconsistent owing to differences in study design, participant characteristics, and measurement tools.
Methods
This meta-analysis examined risk factors for suicide among Korean military personnel. Twenty-nine theses and journal articles published between 2000 and 2025 that reported correlation coefficients (r) and met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Sixty-two variables reported in at least three studies were extracted and categorized into 11 factors depression, trauma experience, military stress, interpersonal relationships, anxiety, general stress, job stress, impulsivity, drinking problems, age, and rank.
Results
Depression, trauma experience, and military stress showed medium- to- large effect sizes, whereas impulsivity and drinking problems demonstrated small but significant effects. High heterogeneity was observed, likely because of differences in military ranks, research designs, and measurement instruments. Publication bias analysis using the trim-and-fill method revealed no missing studies.
Conclusions
This meta-analysis integrated existing findings on suicide risk factors among Korean soldiers and identified the relative importance of key predictors. The results contribute to a better understanding of the psychological and organizational determinants of military suicide and provide practical implications for prevention strategies and future research.

Background
This study aimed to understand the attributes and concepts of role conflict among nurses.
Methods
Using Walker & Avant’s (2014) concept analysis framework, a literature search was conducted in the PubMed, cumulative index to nursing and allied health literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO^®, regional information sharing systems (RISS), and DBpia databases using the search terms ‘Nurse’ or ‘Nursing’ and ‘Role conflict’ or ‘Role ambiguity’ or ‘Role strain.’ A total of 55 articles were included in this study.
Results
Role conflict among nurses was defined as conflicts occurring across various dimensions, including individual, interpersonal, role- and system-related. The antecedents of role conflict included excessive workload, job stress, and manpower shortages. The consequences of role conflict included lower quality of nursing care, emotional burnout, and increased turnover.
Conclusions
This concept analysis provides a clear definition of role conflict among nurses, enhances understanding of the concept, and provides foundational data for nursing practice and systems.

Abstract PDF: Background
There is a continuous increase in the number of studies showing that psychological interventions help reduce chronic pain. Systematic review studies that analyze the effect are also increasing. The aim of this umbrella review was to synthesise the best available research evidence for the effectiveness of standardised psychological interventon for adults with chronic pain.
Methods
Using MEDLINE (PubMed) and Cochrane CENTRAL search engines, four systematic reviews met the study criteria, including 60 randomized control trials and 7,025 patients with chronic pain.
Results
Compared to waiting control and treatment as usual, psychological interventions displayed medium effect sizes for pain intensity (SMD −0.35, CI −0.42 to −0.29, 4 reviews, N=4,061), pain disability (SMD −0.44, CI −0.51 to −0.36, 3 reviews, N=2,609), and physical functioning (SMD 0.38, CI 0.29 to 0.48, 2 reviews, N=1,699). Additionally, psychological interventions exhibited a medium effect size in reducing pain intensity (SMD −0.34, CI −0.42 to −0.26, 2 reviews, N=2,508) and pain disability (SMD −0.43, CI −0.51 to −0.35, 2 reviews, N=2,563) in chronic low back pain.
Conclusions
The results reaffirm that psychological interventions, along with drug or conventional treatments, can be helpful in managing chronic pain.

Abstract PDF

Background
This study aimed to identify trends in domestic research and conduct a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effects of non-pharmacological interventions targeting domestic problem drinkers. The objectives were to synthesize and analyze the results of these studies, while evaluating potential bias and estimating effect size.
Methods
Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we searched five domestic databases (RISS, KISS, DBpia, KoreaMed, and Science ON) for journals and theses published until July 2022. Researchers independently assessed study quality using Cochrane RoB 2 or ROBINS-I.
Results
Of the 307 studies extracted, 12 were included in systematic review. The meta-analysis included 11 studies on problem drinking and 8 on alcohol abstinence self-efficacy. Random effects models were used for analysis, given the heterogeneity among the studies. Non-pharmacological interventions effectively reduced problem drinking (g=−1.22, 95% CI: −1.69 to −0.75, p＜.001) and enhanced alcohol abstinence self-efficacy (g=1.16, 95% CI: 0.54 to 1.79, p＜.001).
Conclusions
Non-pharmacological intervention programs targeting problem drinkers effectively reduced problem drinking and enhanced alcohol abstinence self-efficacy. This study provides valuable evidence for developing and implementing such programs for problem drinkers.

Abstract PDF: Background
This study aimed to identify variables associated with nurses’ self-compassion and assess their effect sizes through a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.
Methods
Domestic and foreign literature were searched using the Prisma flow diagram; 17 papers were systematically reviewed, and 12 papers underwent meta-analysis.
Results
A total of 29 variables related to nurses’ self-compassion were extracted from the analyzed papers. Furthermore, 12 sub-variables of individual characteristics and 17 sub-variables of job and organizational characteristics were identified. The effect sizes were divided into positive and negative variables to estimate the strength of the relationship between variables related to nurses’ self-compassion. All positive variables showed a small effect size (effect size (ES)= .25). Among the positive variables, quality of life (ES=.45), which had a medium effect size, was most related to self-compassion. Conversely, all negative variables showed a medium effect size (ES=−.35). The negative variable most related to self-compassion was burnout (ES=−.48).
Conclusions
The results suggest that promoting self-compassion is essential as it relates to nurses’ work, mental health, and quality of life. Further studies are needed to verify the mediating effects of self-compassion between stressful events and mental health among nurses. Additionally, it is necessary to develop and apply an intervention related to nurses’ self-compassion that increases the effect of positive variables and decreases the impact of negative variables.

Abstract PDF: Background
The present study aimed to investigate the number of latent groups that can be identified on the basis on the level of difficulties identifying feelings (DIF), difficulties in describing feelings (DDF), and externally oriented thinking (EOT).
Methods
DIF, DDF, and EOT are the sub-factors of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale. Latent profile analysis was performed to identify the subgroups and investigate their properties. A total of 237 Korean university and graduate students were included in the study, and alexithymia subtypes were classified into 5 latent groups.
Results
The groups were classified according to the DIF and DDF scores. Furthermore, it was observed that the EOT did not play a role in classifying the groups. The higher the DIF and DDF scores, the higher were the levels of depression and anxiety. The type 2 latent group, which had a unique profile with the highest DIF level and an average DDF level, showed high levels of depression and anxiety.
Conclusions
These results suggest that the DIF significantly affects psychological adaptation, thus warranting the consideration of this parameter in counseling and psychotherapy.

Abstract PDF

Background:

The purpose of this study is to examine the factor structure of the Korean version of the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale. The TAS-20 (source of the TAS-20K) has been supported the three-factor correlated model. However, some factor structure studies of the TAS-20 rejected the three-factor correlated model and adopted alternative models.

Methods:

In study 1, we conducted a comparison study of the alternative measurement models by using CFA. In study 2, we examined scale reliability and gender measurement invariance of the factor structure. To examine the alternative models and scale reliability, we using the bifactor model reliability indices.

Results:

As a result, the DIF and DDF factors have a close relationship but the EOT factor has some differences with DIF and DDF. So we adopted a two-factor correlated model with group factor. And the adopted factor structure has partial measurement invariance. Therefore we can compare gender differences of the TAS-20K.

Conclusions:

This study has significance that examining TAS-20K’s factor structure and examining measurement invariance in gender.

Abstract PDF

Background:

Hospitalization is a unique opportunity for smoking cessation, but there is little evidence for hospitalized people with mental disorder. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of interventions for smoking cessation that are initiated during hospital stay for the patients with mental disorder.

Methods:

We undertook a meta-analysis to estimate summary effects on smoking cessation intervention during hospitalization with randomized controlled trials for people with mental disorders. Electronic data was searched in May 2019 for randomized controlled trial using term including (hospital and patient*) or hospitali* or inpatient* or admission* or admitted and Intervention of smoking cessation and (psychia* OR mental*). Two authors extracted data independently for each paper, with disagreement resolved by 3rd researcher. Fixed effects model was used for pooling estimate for smoking cessation after 6months because of homogeneity for the extracted studies.

Results:

Three studies with 687 for intervention group and 584 for control group were extracted. Intensive intervention that began during the hospitalization and continued after discharge increased smoking cessation rate after 6months (risk ratio (RR) 1.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06∼1.87).

Conclusions:

Intensive intervention that began during a hospital stay and post discharge therapy promote smoking cessation among the patients with mental disorders.

Abstract PDF: Background:
The present study aimed to explore psychometric properties of Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children-Revised (PTGI-C-R), and related variables.
Methods:
The PTGI-C-R was translated into Korean and 716 children and adolescents in a general population sample completed a self-report battery.
Results:
361 participants reported experiencing of traumatic event and 145 among them showed clinical symptoms. In clinical group, Korean version of PTGI-C-R has exhibited good internal consistency and construct validity. Those who experienced traumatic event reported more PTG than unexperienced group. PTG was positively related with resilience, optimism, and rumination, but negatively related with depression and anxiety, also nonlinearly related with intensity of perceived stress.
Conclusions:
This study found the distinct changes of PTG from normative maturation by comparing those who experienced traumatic event and those who did not.

Abstract PDF

Background:

The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the Korean version of CES-D scale by applying the bifactor model. Many studies for validating the CES-D scale have supported the four-factor structure. But some studies found that the three factor structure provided a more appropriate solution. Such inconsistency in the number and structure of factors led us to conduct two studies to clarify the structure of dimensionality of the CES-D-K scale.

Methods:

In study 1, we factor-analyzed the response patterns to the abbreviated CES-D-K scale (11-item, N=12,309) included the Korean Welfare Panel Study. In study 2, we factor-analyzed the data obtained from 223 college and graduate students who responded to the 20-item CES-D-K scale. Correlational analyses were also conducted to investigate criterion validity of the CES-D-K scale with external variables that are theoretically related to depression. The fit indexes of a single-factor model, a four-factors model, and a bifactor model were compared. The Omega coefficients and Explained Common Variance (ECV) were also computed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the CES–D-K scale more accurately.

Results:

The results showed that the CES-D-K scale has a high value of Omega-Hierarchical for the total score, low values of Omega-Hierarchical for the subscale scores, and a high ECV value.

Conclusions:

Therefore, we concluded that, as the scale with a strong general factor, the use of the scale score can accomplish the goal of measuring individual differences on the target construct of depression with little to no gain from constructing subscale scores.

Abstract PDF

The study is performed to recognize overall effect size of interventions based on mindfulness and further find the moderator variables which affect the effect size. In order to achieve this goal, we have selected ACT and MBSR as intervention programs among many studies published in the national academic journals and performed meta-analysis of studies treating depressive and anxiety symptom as dependent variables. In case of anxiety symptom, it showed a significant difference in ACT (Hedges’g=−0.596), however, it did not show any significant difference in MBSR (Hedges’g=−0.419). In case of depressive symptom, both ACT (Hedges’g=−0.622) and MBSR (Hedges’g=−0.784) showed significant differences.
