“… 6 Depression level of the NKWD was high (M=19.94) in the comparison with South Korean middle-aged women (M=10.42) of the other study. 26 The mean score for somatization was 24.93 in this study. A cut off of over 19 and the range of 23–26 indicate somatic symptom tendency in the SCL-SOM.…”

“…One of the possible reason is that traumatic events of NKWD were severe, so menstrual problems and somatization prolonged. 26 Forensic science investigators have PTSD to 10 years because they witness shocking scenes like suicide or homicide, moreover there was no differences of traumatic stress according to length of career. 29 The other reason of poor mental and physical health was adaptation stress after defection.…”

ObjectiveNorth Korean women defectors have suffered from anxiety, depression, and somatization after defection. Also they have had many menstrual problems like amenorrhea. This study was done to identify the correlations of anxiety, depression, and somatization to menstrual problems among North Korean woman defectors in South Korea.MethodsThe participants in this study were 126 women from 5 government resettlement centers throughout South Korea. Questionnaires which included State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Center for Epidemiological studies-Depression Scale (CED-S), and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) were used to identify anxiety and somatization. Data were collected between June and September, 2012.ResultsThe women reported the following problems; amenorrhea (9.5%), hypomenorrhea (13.6%), menorrhagia (19.8%), polymenorrhea (13.5%), oligomenorrhea (4.8%), changes in amount of menstrual discharge (4.0%), and changes in amount of blood clot (9.5%). Anxiety (r=0.20, p=0.002), depression (r=0.25, p=0.005), and Somatization (r=0.35, p<0.001) were correlated with number of menstrual problems.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that mental health services need to be taken into account in interventions for North Korean woman defectors to improve their reproductive health including addressing menstrual problems.

“…Importantly, there are mental‐health service disparities between rural and urban areas in South Korea (Lim, 2017). Fewer mental‐health services are available in rural areas compared to urban areas, potentially leading to unmet needs for mental‐health care and treatment among rural residents (Jo & Kim, 2016). Therefore, a standardized mental‐health care policy and system are needed to reduce regional variation in mental‐health services and resources (Lim, 2018).…”

This study examined the relationship among neighbourhood safety, maternal depression and child behaviour problems among Korean children in South Korea. Using the 2019 Panel Study on Korean Children (N = 1127), we found that residing in less safe neighbourhoods was associated with higher levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. Additionally, results from mediation analysis showed that the relationships between neighbourhood safety and internalizing and externalizing problems were significantly mediated by maternal depression in South Korea. These findings suggest that maternal depression may be an important mechanism linking unsafe neighbourhoods to South Korean children's behaviour problems.
