“…An income classi ed as "middle" was associated with lower odds ratios (OR) for suicidal ideation, but the association was not signi cant in two studies [57,66]. While two studies found the effect of income on suicidal ideation to be slightly stronger in men [31,66] opposite results were found as well [25,57]. Although studies suggest a particular relevance of income for middle-aged participants [38,58], an association could also be found in studies that included younger individuals [25,26] and people aged 65 and older [31,33,59].…”

“…Especially those in the lowest income-classes have unambiguously greater odds for suicidal ideation compared with individuals in high-income classes [25,26,28,31,33,38,[57][58][59]66].

Background The economic and human costs of suicide to individuals, families, communities, and society make suicide a major public health problem around the world. Suicide rates in South Korea are among the highest in the world. This paper is the first systematic review investigating socioeconomic risk factors for suicidal behaviors (suicidal ideation, attempted suicides, and completed suicides) in South Korea. Methods We performed a systematic review in Medline and Web of Science. Empirical studies and peer-reviewed articles on the association between individual socioeconomic factors and suicidal behaviors have been included. A total of 53 studies were included in a descriptive synthesis. Results Overall, 35 studies focused on the association between individual socioeconomic factors and suicidal ideation, 16 were related to suicide attempts, while 10 addressed completed suicides. Low income, unemployment, and financial difficulties were identified as risk factors for all suicidal behaviors. Working in precarious conditions, long working hours, self-employment, changes in employment status, shift work/night-time work, and occupational stress were associated with an increased risk for suicidal ideation. Low educational attainment appears to increase the risk for suicide attempts and completed suicide, but the significance of educational attainment on the reporting of suicidal ideation could not be verified. The primary studies were unable to ascertain whether the place of residence impacts on suicidal behaviors. Conclusions The results highlight the relevance of socioeconomic factors for suicidal behaviors in South Korea. Governmental social spending must be increased and redirected more efficiently so that the economically most vulnerable groups are financially protected and income inequality does not widen. Furthermore, comprehensive prevention strategies at the community level are needed. Future research needs to focus on identifying vulnerable groups for whom the effects of low socioeconomic status may have particularly serious consequences with regard to suicidal behaviors.

“…Questions regarding the physical, mental, social, spiritual, and overall health status of students were included in the survey [ 28 29 ].

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Numerous school-based weight control programs have been initiated for weight loss among adolescents. However, the relationship between these programs and inappropriate weight control efforts, dietary habits and behavior of students, have not been investigated sufficiently. This study was undertaken to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) of adolescents, and their health status and inappropriate weight-control efforts. We further examined the relationship between attendance to school-based weight-control programs and attempting inappropriate weight-control efforts, dietary habits, and behavior. SUBJECTS/METHODS A survey of 1,742 students was conducted in Korea. Logistic regression was used to assess differences in the health status (grouped by BMI and improper weight control) and dietary habits, based on attendance to the weight-control programs. RESULTS Obese students were significantly more dissatisfied with physical, mental and spiritual health. Students who attended weight-control programs were likely to be underweight ( P < 0.001), whereas those who did not attend weight-control programs were likely to attempt weight control improperly ( P < 0.001). Students who participated in the program also had relatively healthy dietary habits ( P < 0.001–0.027), and students who did not attend had comparatively unhealthy dietary habits ( P < 0.001–0.008). Students who attended weight-control programs were likely to be underweight ( P < 0.001) with relatively healthy dietary habits ( P < 0.001–0.027), whereas students who did not attend the programs were likely to attempt weight control improperly ( P < 0.001) and had comparatively unhealthy dietary habits ( P < 0.001–0.008). CONCLUSIONS Attending school-based weight-control programs was significantly associated with not attempting inappropriate weight-control efforts, as well as following healthy dietary habits. Our data indicates that offering school-based weight-control programs is valuable to student health, and is anticipated to reducing the public health burden.

“…Very recent studies in different parts of the world and with different groups and populations have shown the association of spiritual health with the reduction of symptoms of depression. As an example of these studies, there are those carried out among older adults in Turkey living in nursing homes and community housing (Aydin et al, 2020), patients diagnosed with breast cancer (Soleimani et al, 2020) and hospitalized with serious illnesses in Iranian medical centers (Bashar et al, 2018;Khademvatani et al, 2015), adults from the general American (Roeback III, 2020) and Korean population (Fukai et al, 2020), adults living in Spain during the pandemic of Covid-19 (González-Sanguino et al, 2020), American Methodist clergy (Milstein et al, 2020) and patients with chronic orthopedic diseases in China (Weng et al, 2021). Likewise, significant negative correlations were found between spiritual health and anxiety in studies already cited (Aydin et al, 2020;González-Sanguino et al, 2020;Soleimani et al, 2020;Weng et al, 2021) and in other Iranian samples, from hospitalized coronary patients (Hedayati et al, 2016;Khademvatani et al, 2015), from nurses, midwives and nursing students (Rahimi et al, 2017) and elderly from the general population (Solaimanizadeh et al, 2020).…”

“…As described by the DSM-5, spirituality can provoke distressing responses or questioning of spiritual values that can be a reason for clinical attention (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 725). Likewise, it has been shown that spirituality can trigger a defensive posture over and against certain psychological needs, and even depressive and anxiety symptoms (Fukai et al, 2020;Picciotto et al, 2018;Rowell et al, 2020). However, most research reports positive relationships between spirituality and mental health.…”

Spiritual health, family functioning and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adults from a sample of northeastern Mexico

et al. 2021

Certain studies identify spiritual health and family functioning as predictors of a healthy lifestyle. Both constructs influence the presence of symptoms of depression and anxiety. To obtain more empirical evidence on this relationship, 128 adults from Northeast Mexico were administered the Spiritual Health Scale (ESE-UM), the Assessment of Family Functioning questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory. Significant effects of spiritual health and family functioning on depression and subjective anxiety were found. It is inferred that spiritual health and family functioning are protective factors for emotional problems.
