Background
The behavioral activation method is a short-term, evidence-based approach that promotes functional activation by reinforcing adaptive behaviors and eliminating avoidance behaviors. This study aims to validate the Korean version of the Behavior Activation for Depression Scale-Short Form (K-BADS-SF) among Korean community adults, providing an objective measure of behavioral activation.
Methods
A total of 471 participants, ranging in age from 18 to 69 years, completed an online survey. They filled out the K-BADS-SF and its long-form version, the K-BADS, as well as the Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) scales, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). The K-BADS-SF was subject to a thorough psychometric evaluation, which included analyzing internal consistency, test-retest reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and both convergent and discriminant validity analyses.
Results
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses show that the model fit of the K-BADS-SF improves when certain items from the original scale are moved from the activation factor to the avoidance factor.
Conclusions
The K-BADS-SF exhibits sufficient reliability and validity in the Korean community sample, confirming its effectiveness as a valuable tool for assessing behavioral activation.

Background
This study verifies the influence of daily stress on school adjustment through inattention and social withdrawal among children at community child centers.
Methods
Analyses were performed on data collected from the Child Panel Survey of the Community Child Centers, followed by a series of regression analyses.
Results
First, daily stress had a negative and significant influence on school adjustment. Second, both inattention and social withdrawal among children mediated the influence of daily stress on school adjustment. Finally, the influence of daily stress on school adjustment was serially dual-mediated through inattention and social withdrawal.
Conclusions
This study presents evidence-based strategies that could help the school adjustment of children at community child centers.

Background
This study investigated the mediating effect of anger rumination in the relationship between job stress and problem drinking among community-oriented police officers.
Methods
The study participants were 107 community-oriented police officers working in local police stations and substations in the Seoul-Gyeonggi area. Participants completed the Police Job Stress Scale, Anger Rumination Scale (K-ARS), and Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Data was collected from September to October 2022, and the mediation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro model 4.
Results
Analysis showed that anger rumination fully mediates the relationship between job stress and problem drinking among community-oriented police officers.
Conclusions
This study emphasizes the importance of interventions or treatments that address both job stress and anger rumination for community-oriented police officers with alcohol-related problems. Such interventions can contribute to preventing and managing problem drinking that threatens the well-being of individual police officers and the police organization.

Abstract PDF

Background:

The study purpose was to describe experience of violence and trauma, needs for support of community mental health professionals (CMHP).

Methods:

This study had a qualitative descriptive design and qualitative content analysis was used. For data collection, focus group interviews were carried out with 18 CMHP in 3 groups.

Results:

Data analysis has been extracted in to 5 domains (safety, stress, coping, support, protection), 9 categories (primary trauma, secondary trauma, negative emotion, burnout, workload, ineffective response, trust and understanding, foundation for protection and empowerment) and 14 subcategories.

Conclusions:

From the findings, we could know it more clearly that the community mental health field is relatively high in the risk of violence, suicide case and death of the subjects. However, the pre- post-response measures for the protection of CMHP who has been violently traumatized were very insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare psychological emotional support system along with preventive and post-response measures for safety at the individual and institutional level. At the same time, it is important to create a supportive environment at the peer and organizational level. As a results we proposed that rapid preparation of the materialization of emotional support system for CMHP, mandatory application of two-person-one intervention principle, preparation of guidelines for emergency response, improvement of physical environment for safety, improvement of understanding on mental health work of institutional officials and also supervision ability of mental health senior staffs, strengthening education and supervision system for enhancement CMHP’s capacity are necessary.
