Abstract

This study analyzed the cause of Corona Blue and tried to find out ways to improve the mental health of our society. The external activities decreased and the household economy got worse after COVID-19, so Corona Blue increased. The media use and the negative media information problems increased Corona Blue. The online activities had no effects. In order to relieve Corona Blue, it was suggested to increase the external activities personally, to make the social and economic conditions of women and the economic weaker better, to improve the quality of media disaster information, and for the media consumer to use the media properly.

코로나블루 발생 원인을 분석해 우리 사회의 정신건강 증진 방안을 찾아보았다. 여성이 남성보다 코로나블루가 더 심했으며, 연령에 따른 차이는 없었다. 코로나19 이후 외부활동이 줄고, 가계경제는 어려워져 코로나블루가 늘었다. 늘어난 미디어이용량과 부정적인 미디어정보문제는 코로나블루를 증가시켰다. 온라인활동은 코로나블루에 영향을 주지 않았다. 미디어이용으로 증가한 사회문제관심은 미디어이용이 코로나블루에 영향을 주는 과정에서 부분매개효과를 갖고 있었다. 우울증을 줄이기 위해서는 개인의 외부활동을 늘리고, 여성과 경제적 약자의 사회 경제적인 여건을 더 개선하고, 미디어의 재난정보 품질을 높이고, 수용자는 미디어를 적정하게 이용해야 한다고 강조했다.
