Self-stigma is factor that prompts mental patients to reject participating in society and treatment. This study aimed to consider factors that increase or reduce the self-stigma of patients with mental illness. The 4 subjects were divided into 2 traits according to the degree of self-stigma, and the interviews of patients with high and low self-stigma were analyzed. The results indicate discrimination and prejudice against patients with mental illness by family, medical staff, and acquaintances intensify mental patients' self-stigma. Furthermore, positive self-awareness bolstered by the support of receptive family members, medical staff, and acquaintances reduces mental patients' self-stigma. In conclusion, patients with mental illness can gain successful experiences through the support of receptive family members, medical staff, and acquaintances with mental illness. Moreover, they can gain positive selfawareness through successful experiences and take action to better cope with self-stigma in society

We conducted a qualitative research project to determine the coping mechanisms of male nurses in facing the challenges of being males in a predominantly female field. Health care workers and the patients face issues of stigmatization in their interactions within the health care environment. Our team conducted interviews with five male nurses. The purpose was to identify the sources and coping mechanisms of work-induced stress for male nurses in the female-dominated professional field. We found that they faced 3 sources of stress. The 3 main sources of stress were: difficulty in interacting with female patients; difficulty in interacting with female nurses; and anxiety regarding their future career development. The coping strategies of the male nurses consisted of both problem-oriented coping and emotion-oriented coping, with the male nurses gravitating to one or both orientations depending on the source of stress. In order to face the 3 sources of stress, the male nurses used seven coping mechanisms: a tendency to assign tasks among the female members of the team; constructing their own new coping mechanisms such as blocking out unpleasant situations; developing a mature experience-based response procedure for dealing with female patients; realization of their personal strengths as males; relieving stress by sharing challenges with other male nurse peers; developing an awareness of professional pride and responsibility; habituation of being a minority gender in a group of females. We believe the research reveals a need for hospitals to provide specialized support and training to male nurses.

To clarify how patients with depression perceived their living difficulties, two case studies were performed: of patients with depression with and without Typus melancholicus. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in accordance with an interview guide, and data were analyzed using the KJ method. Data from the interviews of the patient with depression with Typus melancholicus could be summarized under the title "Perception of Living Difficulties in Patients with Depression: the Process of Resolving Distress." The interview data from the patient with depression without Typus melancholicus could be summarized under the title "The Self-contained Cycle of All or Nothing and a Hint on How to Get out of it." In each case study, patients expressed either of the following: "I am consumed by my own thoughts and what I consider to be 'depression,' and can't shake off the sense of tiredness" (Fatigue) or "Because I think it has to be all or nothing, I drown myself in a 'worthless me' attitude and get depressed because I think I can't do anything" (Quicksand). A common factor between them was "I am caught up in my own thoughts and thus feel bad." The findings suggested that patients with depression perceive their living difficulties in this way.

The purposes of this study are 1) to clarify the structural factors of "meaningful occupation" to make the concept of a new support service by qualitative analysis (n=19; mean age 84.1±5.5); 2) to analyze the relation among the restraint by oneself of activities in daily living and the physical, cognitive, psychological function and social participations by the questionnaire survey regarding fall (n=135; mean age 75.9 ± 5.9). In the first research, we investigated the important activities for older women by a semi-structured interview that was analyzed by text mining software. It was divided into two categories; the activity inside home and the activity outside home. By the network analysis, it showed that the positive words (i.e. "good", "can do") were concerned with words which were related with the relationships around the older adults suggesting that positive factors of "meaningful occupation" were connected to human relations. In the second research, 37% of subjects reported self-restraint activities related to mobility. Our findings showed that those who fell more than once limit their own activities in comparison with who fell once a year. The social aspects must be addressed when treating older population and those important activities for elders must not be restrained by fall.
