Authors: Ludrosky, PhD Jennifer , Skidmore, MD Bridget , Quiggle, MD Tanner , Swager, MD Lauren
Published: January 2024

Introduction The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the prior authorization (PA) process from the perspective of rural child and adolescent psychiatry patients' families. Methods All patient families who visited an outpatient behavioral health clinic in rural Appalachia for psychiatry services between July and October 2018 were eligible for the study. Caregivers of children who were prescribed medications eligible for PA or who reported problems with PA were offered a paper survey to complete anonymously and return to a drop box after the visit. Results In total, 37 respondents reported 55 different psychiatric medications affected, primarily stimulants (n=22). Just over 75% (n=28) of respondents reported delays in receiving their medication. Delays ranged anywhere from less than a day to more than a month. During those delays, respondents reported their children experienced many different adverse events when they were not receiving their medication. Commonly reported consequences of the delays included behavioral and emotional issues at home and at school, physical side effects from drug withdrawal, and increased aggression. Respondents also reported an increase in financial burden. In some cases, the educational opportunities available to the children were also restricted. Conclusion Rural families face limited access to psychiatric care and significant unmet needs. The study documents additional burden for rural families related to the PA process, including financial, behavioral, emotional, and educational consequences. This preliminary data indicates a need for further study and highlights the necessity of considering potential burdens for families when creating PA policies.

Authors: Schroeder Tanja , Haug Maximilian , Georgiou Andrew , Seaman Karla , Gewald Heiko
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

The enactment of the “Act to Improve Healthcare Provision through Digitalisation and Innovation ” (Digital Healthcare Act; Digitale-Versorgung-Gesetz [DVG]) in Germany has introduced a paradigm shift in medical practice, allowing physicians to prescribe mobile health (mHealth) apps alongside traditional medications. This transformation imposes a dual responsibility on physicians to acquaint themselves with qualifying apps and align them with patient diagnoses, while requiring patients to adhere to the prescribed app use, similar to pharmaceutical adherence. This transition, particularly challenging for older generations who are less skilled with technology, underscores a significant evolution in Germany’s medical landscape.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate physicians’ responses to this novel treatment option, their strategies for adapting to this form of prescription, and the willingness of patients to adhere to prescribed mHealth apps.

METHODS

Using an exploratory qualitative study design, we conducted semistructured interviews with 28 physicians and 30 potential patients aged 50 years and older from August 2020 to June 2021.

RESULTS

The findings reveal several factors influencing the adoption of mHealth apps, prompting a nuanced understanding of adoption research. Notably, both physicians and patients demonstrated a lack of information regarding mHealth apps and their positive health impacts, contributing to a deficiency in trust. Physicians’ self-perceived digital competence and their evaluation of patients’ digital proficiency emerge as pivotal factors influencing the prescription of mHealth apps.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study provides comprehensive insights into the prescription process and the fundamental factors shaping the adoption of mHealth apps in Germany. The identified information gaps on both the physicians’ and patients’ sides contribute to a trust deficit and hindered digital competence. This research advances the understanding of adoption dynamics regarding digital health technologies and highlights crucial considerations for the successful integration of digital health apps into medical practice.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic cancer is considered a complex cancer requiring specific expertise in diagnostic workup and multimodality treatment. Often multiple healthcare providers in different hospitals are involved during patient care. This fragmentation of care challenges healthcare providers in the network to deliver efficient, coherent and continuous network care.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to find means to improve network care for patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer by applying a human centered design methodology.

METHODS

A Human Centered Design (HCD) Sprint was conducted in July 2020. The sprint comprised five days with different goals: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. Experts and stakeholders were approached from the pancreatic cancer network to contribute. Patients and next of kin were interviewed about their experiences of network care prior to the Sprint. By using HCD a goal was defined, various prototypes were explored and one prototype was tested.

RESULTS

The HCD Sprint led to a shared goal which was to deliver pancreatic cancer network care in a (virtual) hospital in which there is ‘one narrative’. This means that the patient’s context and preferences are always clear and taken into account, care is characterized by a short time to diagnosis and treatment and patient data is easily available for patients and involved clinicians. The accompanying prototypes were 1) Network agreements 2) Patient Itinerary 3) Transmural Trajectory Guidance and 4) Data sharing. For the latter, we developed and pilot-tested a real-time data sharing dashboard CONNECT. The first pilot-test was promising and provided feedback for further development.

CONCLUSIONS

The HCD sprint resulted in several useful prototypes based on which a real-time data sharing dashboard (CONNECT) was developed and pilot tested. The next steps include further development of the dashboard, implementation in our network and long-term evaluation studies.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Manual wheelchairs promote independence among older adult users. However, the user’s level of disability, strength, stamina, and the environmental conditions with which the wheelchair is used may limit the functionality of manual wheelchairs and their impact on independence and active aging. The use of power assist add-ons may mitigate these limitations and allow an individual to age in place.

OBJECTIVE

We propose to conduct a scoping review of scientific and gray literature to examine the use of power assist add-ons by older adults who use manual wheelchairs, as well as their advantages, limitations, and potential benefits in promoting independence and active aging.

METHODS

The review will be guided by the PRISMA checklist extension for scoping reviews, and we will use the Arksey and O’Malley scoping review methodology. The literature search will employ a comprehensive approach and will be carried out in two phases: 1) a keyword and MeSH search of electronic databases, proceedings, as well as symposia for relevant titles/abstracts; and 2) a search of Google and Google Scholar.

RESULTS

Articles will be selected based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Dissemination will include peer-reviewed publications and conferences in rehabilitation- and/or gerontology-focused content areas.

CONCLUSIONS

The information obtained through this review could inform future research involving wheelchair producers, suppliers, and prescribers.

What makes music healing? Psycholinguistic inquiry and content analysis on online music comments (Preprint)
Authors: Li Shen
Published: January 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

The healing power of music is being used as a commercial gimmick by many music streaming services to attract online music users. However, less is known about how effective healing music is at helping people and the ways that music exerts healing power. In this study, we conducted the linguistic analysis of online music comments of music users in response to healing music using the Bag of Words model, LIWC analysis, and LDA topic modelling. Three healing music were selected whose singers and songwriters publicly announced to “heal” listeners and we randomly selected music comments from the music streaming platform as non-healing music comments. The results revealed that music users are more likely to disclose themselves in response to healing music as compared to non-healing music. It also suggested that appreciation of music, support seeking and provision, expressing induced emotions, and sharing episodic memories might be the motives for leaving healing-music comments. This research helps to enrich our understanding of the everyday use of music in cyberspace and social media contexts.

Cognitive impairment can be a consequence of direct and indirect brain injury, hypoxia, edema, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative processes, metabolic encephalopathies, electrolyte abnormalities, organ failure, the effects of pesticides, toxins, drugs, and infectious processes. The results are presented from the study on correlations between cognitive functioning and syndromic characteristics and neuroimaging changes in patients with chronic post-traumatic (CTE), chronic vascular (CVE), chronic alcohol-induced (CAIE) and post-infectious (PIE) encephalopathies. The data of 520 medical records of patients with CTE (n = 145), CVE (n = 145), CAIE (n = 102) and PIE (n = 128) were analyzed. Neuroimaging was performed using multislice computed tomography. Cognitive functions were examined using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Statistical analysis of data was carried out with the help of computer software Microsoft Excel and Statistica 13.0. There was a probable relationship between cognitive functioning and extrapyramidal syndrome in patients with CVE; cognitive impairment and emotional lability disorder in patients with CAIE; cephalalgia syndrome, motor disorder syndrome and cerebellar ataxia syndrome in patients with PIE. In participants with CTE and CAIE, there was a significant correlation between cognitive functioning and ventricular enlargement; in patients with PIE — between cognitive functioning and the enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces.

Published: January 2024

Cerebrovascular pathology occupies the leading position among the causes of mortality and long-term disability in high-, middle- and low-income countries, which indicates the extreme relevance of finding new strategies for the prevention of these diseases. Today, acute ischemic stroke and vascular cognitive disorders, including vascular dementia, are among the most common forms of cerebrovascular diseases. Damage to cerebral small vessels plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of both conditions. The article analyzed literature data on the main and probable pathogenetic mechanisms of cerebral small vessel disease. Keywords used to select the literature in PubMed National Library of Medicine included: small vessel disease, white matter hyperintensity, lacunae, enlarged perivascular spaces, brain atrophy, vascular cognitive disorders. The study of the pathogenetic mechanisms of cerebral microangiopathy or cerebral small vessel disease will allow clinical and scientific research to be directed to the search for pathogenetically justified treatment and prevention strategies, which is extremely important for such patients.

Authors: Wigati Maria , Ciptanurani Ceria
Published: January 2024

Stunting reduction is one of Indonesia’s major projects. While one-size-fits-all regulations were no longer promoted, understanding the characteristics of each region imposed a strong policy foundation. Many studies had been conducted in rural areas, but the analysis of urban areas was scarce. A study was conducted in Yogyakarta City to understand the characteristics of stunting intervention, despite the high human development index, education level, and access to health facilities. This made it important to examine the characteristics of stunting reduction efforts, based on the analysis of the contents, contexts, processes, and actors involved, in Yogyakarta City, to help with its ambition for zero stunting. A desk review and focus group discussion were conducted involving four local government staff, consisting of the Regional Planning and Development Agency, Health Office, and Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control and Family Planning, which were elaborated with literature following the policy triangle framework. A total of 13 open-access official documents and dashboards were obtained for analysis. Decrees from the local government showed a strong commitment to ending malnutrition. While most intervention packages were similar to those across Indonesia, targeted interventions for specific subjects were needed to support people who were unable to be covered by general services. Furthermore, Yogyakarta City has smaller open spaces than other districts in the province, a contradictory low nutrition awareness despite high school participation, and other factors were cross-linked with its culture in the community, implementer, to the authority levels. Stunting reduction programs were multisectoral, involving not only government offices but also non-government, mass media, community, private sectors, and academia. This study is expected to provide lessons learned for decision-makers, private sectors, academia, and public health practitioners to implement good collaboration in stunting reduction efforts.

Published: January 2024

A composição dos resíduos estudados, por si só, antecipa que muitas alterações internas ocorrerão dentro dos maciços após o encerramento da vida útil do aterro sanitário estudado. Tendo em vista isso, neste estudo foram realizados ensaios de composição gravimétrica, massa específica aparente solta e teores de umidade e sólidos voláteis dos RSU recebidos em duas áreas (Área 1 e 2) do Aterro Sanitário de Caucaia, Ceará, Brasil. Paralelamente, foram determinados os coeficientes de permeabilidade dos solos de cobertura, e determinada sua compactação e composição granulométrica. A pesquisa mostrou que entre 2012 e 2021, o aterro recebeu mais de 20.5 milhões de toneladas de RSU, sendo sua composição majoritariamente de material facilmente degradável, e a massa específica aparente solta desse material variou entre 123.75 e 295.42 Kg/m3. Na Área 1, a umidade dos resíduos aterrados variou de 20.97% a 34.54% e o sólidos voláteis entre 9.12% e 31.49%. Na Área 2, esses valores foram: umidade (24.25% a 63.13%) e sólidos voláteis (24.36% a 95.44%). Os resultados indicam que a matéria orgânica dos resíduos aterrados numa área encerrada (Área 1) está praticamente estabilizada, ao passo que os resíduos aterrados na nova área em operação (Área 2) apresentaram valores superiores, mostrando o potencial de degradação e geração de biogás. A permeabilidade dos solos de cobertura da Área 1 do aterro (3.6x10-4 a 1.0x10-3 cm/s) foram maiores do que a Área 2 (1.9x10-6 a 3.1x10-5 cm/s), mostrando que com o tempo, e sob as intempéries, essas camadas vão perdendo sua eficiência. Ademais, a pluviosidade da região exerceu influência positiva sobre os teores de umidade dos resíduos aterrados.

LOGÍSTICA REVERSA DE EMBALAGENS VAZIAS DE AGROTÓXICOS: ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE O RECEBIMENTO ITINERANTE NO ESTADO DO CEARÁ
Authors: Paiva Brena Karoline Valentim , Aquino Marisete Dantas de
Published: January 2024

O mercado dos agrotóxicos se expandiu rapidamente nos últimos anos, principalmente no Brasil. Quando não manipulado de forma adequada, é grande o risco de ingestão de alimentos tratados à base de agrotóxicos. Ademais, seu uso nas atividades agrícolas pode gerar problemas com a destinação final das embalagens vazias, que, muitas vezes, são descartadas de forma inadequada. Nesta perspectiva, esta pesquisa objetiva descrever o sistema de logística reversa e apresentar dados relativos ao recolhimento itinerante das embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos no Estado do Ceará. Buscando coletar informações sobre o assunto, realizou-se visitas técnicas à Secretaria de Meio Ambiente do Estado do Ceará e ao Posto de Recebimento de Embalagens Vazias de Agrotóxicos de Ubajara-CE. Os dados coletados permitiram constatar que o Ceará possui três postos de recebimento de embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos, localizados nos municípios de Abaiara, Quixeré e Ubajara, para atender os 184 municípios pertencentes. A quantidade de informações e dados oficiais disponibilizados sobre o recolhimento das embalagens vazias de agrotóxicos no Estado, não permite conhecer em profundidade a real situação do sistema de logística reversa. O Sistema Campo Limpo tem se revelado como uma iniciativa positiva no que se refere ao retorno das embalagens, porém, é fundamental ampliar a fiscalização e os trabalhos educativos no campo para aumentar a adesão dos agricultores ao sistema de logística reversa.

Published: January 2024

The article provides an overview of the present condition and immediate future potential in the realm of hydrogen energy technologies. The paper delves into the most renowned approaches for generating hydrogen from natural gas: a) Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR); b) Partial Oxidation (POX); and c) Autothermal Reforming (ATR). Nevertheless, employing these technologies on an industrial scale requires substantial R&D efforts, often on the scale of experimental ventures. The article also examines the global energy landscape, energy sources, the historical discovery of hydrogen, and the various production methods. It addresses the intricacies associated with hydrogen production technologies, with a focal point on the technology of extracting hydrogen from natural gas. Through a comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of each method and, as explicated in the concluding section of the study, several significant insights have been derived. Among the three technologies, SMR, the steam conversion process, boasts the highest hydrogen production rate. Catalytic partial oxidation of methane exhibits the swiftest reaction rate; however, it necessitates the use of pure oxygen, which poses safety concerns. The process of methane auto-thermal reforming requires no external heat and is characterized by minimal energy consumption. Steam reforming of methane emerges as an ecologically sound and scientifically promising avenue, offering high effectiveness. Nevertheless, its deployment on an industrial scale remains to be fully refined. Developing cost-effective catalysts and continuous reactor systems for methane steam conversion technology is essential to rendering it economically viable. In conclusion, there is substantial potential for advancements at hydrogen energy technologies, particularly through refining and integrating these different production methods.
Destructive Ability Analysis of Genetic Algorithm Operator When Solving Business Process Problem of Structural and Parametric Synthesis
Authors: Petrosov D. A. , Surova N. Yu.
Published: January 2024

The work analyzes the destructive ability of operators of a classical genetic algorithm when solving the problem of controlling the trajectory of a population during the search for solutions. In accordance with the hypothesis put forward, when solving the problem of structural-parametric synthesis of large discrete systems with a given behavior, it is advisable to change the settings of the functioning of the genetic algorithm operators to ensure: better convergence of the genetic algorithm, avoid attenuation, signal the need to restart the solution synthesis procedure, and also facilitate the derivation of the population from local extrema. It is proposed to use an artificial neural network as a control element (control add-on), which should implement control of the process of synthesis of simulation models of business processes based on a given behavior (the ability of a simulation model to convert a given input vector into a reference output), which is especially important when working with large systems. In accordance with the same hypothesis, an increase in the destructive ability of the crossing over and mutation operators allows the population to be dispersed across the solution space, which is advisable when attenuation occurs and is in a local extremum, and a decrease in the destructive ability contributes to a more thorough search for solutions in a certain area of the solution space. The paper provides examples of the work of operators and the behavior of the population when synthesizing simulation models of business processes based on the theory of Petri nets. To model the operation of a genetic algorithm and an artificial neural network, it is proposed to use the theory of Petri nets, which simplifies the process of managing the synthesis procedure and allows the use of parallel programming tools with distributed GPGPU computing on CUDA technology. As part of this study, an analysis of the behavior of the population when changing the operating settings of operators was carried out, which confirmed the hypothesis put forward.
Monitoring and Diagnostic Method for Maintaining the Operation Parameters of a Solar Module under Non-Uniform Illumination
Authors: Mirsaetov O. M. , Zinov'ev V. V.
Published: January 2024

The most well-known methods for diagnosing solar modules are considered; it is shown that the described diagnostic methods do not allow identifying defects that develop over a long time. The operation of photovoltaic cells under non-uniform illumination is analyzed. It has been shown that the operation of solar modules under non-uniform illumination can lead to thermal damage to semiconductor materials and deterioration in the module energy characteristics due to the fact that some of the photovoltaic cells located at reduced energy illumination become a parasitic load for more illuminated photovoltaic cells included in such module. An analytical equation has been obtained in explicit form for the full current-voltage characteristic of a photovoltaic cell using the Lambert W-function in forward and reverse bias, which makes it possible to study the connections of photovoltaic cells as a part of a solar module under non-uniform energy illumination, where the reverse branch of the current-voltage characteristic is important. The analytical equation makes it possible to predict the behavior of photovoltaic cells and solar modules composed of them under various operating modes, including identifying the degradation process. An electronic measuring device has been developed and manufactured that makes it possible to measure the light and dark current-voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic cell, including the negative branch, in automatic mode. This reduces measurement time and the influence of external experimental conditions when obtaining the current-voltage characteristics of the photovoltaic cell. A method for constructing solar modules from photovoltaic cells under conditions of their operation under non-uniform lighting has been proposed. As a result of such selection, reliability is increased and an increase in the efficiency of the solar module in shading mode, composed of series-connected photovoltaic cells selected in this way, is achieved.
Formalization of Natural-Technical System Characteristics for System Approach to Assess its Ecological State
Authors: Gorokhov M. M. , Kurguzkin P. M.
Published: January 2024

The increased attention of the State to the problem of environmental safety is associated with the growth of anthropogenic and man-made impacts on the environment. Reducing this impact is the goal of implementing federal-level policy documents. The achievement of program goals in the sphere of environmental is associated with the development, planning and implementation of a set of environmental measures at various levels. It is obvious that the effectiveness of these measures is largely determined by the completeness and reliability of current and forecast information on the state of the environment in areas subject to negative impacts (primarily pollution) from industrial enterprises, economic and other activities. In order to obtain such information, environmental monitoring of the territory is carried out. The aspects of the impact of a man-made object on the environment within the framework of a unified natural and technical system are considered. Two main approaches to the organization of the monitoring system for the state of the environment in the zone of technogenic influence are identified. The purpose of the first one is to monitor the implementation of the negative environmental impact standards established for the given facility. The second approach is aimed at identifying and assessing negative changes in the natural environment itself at an early stage of their occurring. At the same time, environmental monitoring acts as a feedback channel. The following main parameters characterizing the interaction of a technogenic object with the environment are described: types of negative impact; coordinates of sources of negative impact; lists of pollutants; intensity of exposure; type of natural environment; coordinates of monitoring points (sampling points); list of controlled indicators; current values of controlled indicators; name of ecosystems; coordinates of biomonitoring sites. Based on the selected parameters, an ER-model of environmental monitoring of the territory of the natural-technical system is developed. It is noted that the built-in ER-model can be the basis for creating an effective system for storing and analyzing monitoring information, including an assessment of the ecological state of the territory of the natural-technical system and a forecast of its changes.
Method of Additive Manufacturing of Metal Products
Authors: Kakorin D. D. , Lavrentiev A. Yu. , Margolis B. I.
Published: January 2024

The article describes modern methods of additive manufacturing of metal products, their advantages and disadvantages are considered, the relevance of developing the most productive and effective method of additive manufacturing of metal products based on layered electric arc surfacing is substantiated. The known methods of additive manufacturing are based, as a rule, on the principle of melting additive powder material by highly concentrated laser or electronic sources of thermal action. These methods of layer-by-layer deposition have gained their relevance due to low prevalence of thermal influence zone in the deposited metal, high accuracy of layer-by-layer construction and possibility of automated control for the additive manufacturing process. Despite many advantages of these methods, there are significant disadvantages that limit their use in real production processes. These include low speed of layer-by-layer construction due to the small size of the deposited layer and the need to perform several passes to form a wall with a given thickness, the high cost of the equipment used, the need to use a vacuum chamber during the surfacing process, as well as the high probability of defects in the structure of the deposited metal during sintering of powder materials. In the proposed additive manufacturing method, these disadvantages are eliminated by using an electric arc discharge to melt the filler material wire. The use of an electric arc in combination with wire material allows increasing the speed of layered construction up to 4 times. Also, the deposition of wire material minimizes the probability of non-melts and pores in the structure of the deposited metal. However, in order to improve the quality of surfaced products and use the proposed method in real production conditions, it is necessary to provide automated control of the technological process of layered electric arc surfacing. For this purpose, the article identifies the key stages of the technological process and highlights the most significant characteristics that determine the quality of the deposited products.

Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to prevent the same writing errors in the future by analyzing problems in the description of the construction technology section of the 2015 revised curriculum technology and home eco-nomics textbook from a content perspective and suggesting appropriate alternatives.
Methods In this study, an analysis framework was constructed based on the achievement standards of the 2015 revised curriculum and the content system of technology and home economics textbooks. In addition, this study reviewed the content validity and presented alternatives in five areas: the concept and characteristics of con-struction technology, the production process of construction structures, the construction technology system, the development process of construction technology, and future construction technology.
Results In this study, civil engineering technology is a concept that encompasses the concepts of social overhead capital, natural power, energy utilization, and sustainability, and the characteristics of construction technology are sole production, immobility, complexity, costliness, and publicness. Most descriptions of the production process of construction structures focused on architectural structures, and there appeared to be no textbooks explaining the differences between architectural structures and civil structures at the planning and design stage. The devel-opment process of construction technology was mostly divided into four stages, and many inappropriate cases were found in the period classification of buildings, descriptions of styles, structures, and example buildings.
Conclusions The construction technology section of current technology and home economics textbooks contains many problems and errors from a content perspective. These problems and errors can be fully reviewed and cor-rected by content experts. It is expected that the same problems can be improved in new textbooks through this study.

Objectives The purpose of this research is to explore the ways of application of Jeju 4·3 in global citizenship education.
Methods For this purpose, this study analyzes historical reconciliation through overseas cases and proposes ap-plication of it in global citizenship education in terms of education policy.
Results The analysis of historical reconciliation in overseas cases reveals two important implications for the direc-tion of Jeju 4·3 education. First, it is noteworthy that overseas historical reconciliation is closely tied to the level of civic consciousness. Second, history education should aim to foster global citizenship. Jeju 4·3 education can be emphasized as a tool for global citizenship education by connecting the lives of Jeju 4·3 bereaved families with peace and human rights education, preventing the banality of evil, taking action on citizenship of goodness, and expanding peace and the value of human rights in Jeju 4·3 into social education.
Conclusions In conclusion, this research proposes several ways to incorporate Jeju 4·3 into global citizenship education. First, the role of citizens can be learned by designing ‘the road of citizen,’ which reflects the stories of people who showed citizenship during Jeju 4·3. Second, as a part of global citizenship education, the sig-nificance of Jeju 4·3 can be spread into everyday life through the value of peace, human rights and justice. Third, this significance of Jeju 4·3 can be expanded into a culture of caring for the socially underprivileged. Finally, pub-lic-private partnership through Jeju 4·3 can provide an opportunity to pay attention to current community issues.

Objectives This study sought to find out the difficulties and career adaptation experiences experienced by coun-selors in the employment center psychological support program at the counseling site and to clarify its meaning.
Methods Six counselors currently conducting a psychological support counselor for jobseekers program counsel-ing at the Employment Center were selected as research participants, and data were collected through in-depth interviews from March to May 2023. In order to clarify the essential meaning of their difficulties and adaptation experiences through counseling in the psychological stability support program, Giorgi's phenomenological meth-od was applied and analyzed in four stages: total meaning understanding, meaning classification, academic term conversion, and general structural statements, explaining the experiences of each research participant and in-tegrating them into general structural statements.
Results As a result of the result of the study, 42 semantic units, 17 subcategories, and 4 categories were derived. The four categories were ‘motivation’, ‘difficult’, ‘adaptive experience’, and ‘reconstruction of reward and meaning’.
Conclusions First, I became a psychological support counselor for jobseekers because I could contribute to societ, stability and one's growth. Second, they were experiencing difficulties due to regret over economic compensa-tion, low understanding of counseling by managers, reversal due to various clients, and inadequate evaluation. Third, counselors were experiencing adaptation as an intimate support base was created, efficacy as a counselor increased, new perspectives and pride in work were created while accepting the situation, and self-protective coping behaviors were developed. Finally, as new perspectives and pride were created, and self-protective cop-ing behaviors were taken, counselors were experiencing adaptation. Finally, he was pleased with the change of the client, felt rewarded in terms of increased trust in the counselor himself, and social contribution, and re-constructed the meaning of this work. Based on the results of this study, it improved understanding of the mean-ing and necessity of the employment center's psychological support program for jobseekers, and suggested poli-cy suggestions for the employment support program of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the direction of education related to the development of the capacity of counselors for the psychological support program for jobseekers.
