Abstract This study investigates whether restricted participation in productive
activity is associated with cognitive health in Korea. Furthermore, given the
enormous socioeconomic disparities between aging and gender differences in
employment, we also examine whether these associations vary by gender and age.
Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) from 2006 to 2016
was used and 9,942 subjects were included at baseline in 2006. To analyze the
association between restricted economic activity due to health condition and
cognitive function, generalized estimating equation (GEE) model and chi-square

paper examined the long-term impact of psychiatric disorders of war survivors on
the level of health vulnerability among their female spouses. Interviews were
conducted with a nationally representative sample of 653 of the partners of male
war survivors with disabilities. The war survivors’ database information used to
determine the presence of psychiatric disorders. Then the partners of survivors

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of disaster
relief workers’ job satisfaction in the relationship between their perception
of survivors’ rights and their performance of human rights advocacy. Two
hundred disaster relief workers in Korea were invited to complete
structured questionnaires pertaining to their perception of survivors’ rights,
job satisfaction, and their performance of human rights advocacy, and the
relationships between these variables were analyzed using correlation and
multiple regression analysis. There were significant positive correlations
between disaster relief workers’ perception of survivors’ rights, job
satisfaction, and performance of human rights advocacy in this study. The
higher their… More >

Abstract Coronaviruses are a category of associated viruses that trigger disease
in mammals and birds. Human coronaviruses have been identified including
severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2003,
human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV NL63) in 2004, human coronavirus HKU1
(HKU1) in 2005, Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERSCoV) in 2012, and severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) in December, 2019. This study aims to examine whether social
media at residing/admittance in quarantine ward (due to corona virus pandemic
disease) affects psychological health or not? We asked questions from 250
quarantined patients infected from coronavirus (restricted to quarantine ward)
about their psychological… More >
