Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the health behaviors, mental health and internet addiction by gender differences among Korean adolescents and to examine relevances between health behaviors, mental health and internet addiction. The subjects were 73,238 Korean adolescents(male: 38,391, female: 34,847) who were recruited through national web-based survey. The data were derived from the Sixth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey 2010 in South Korea. There were significant differences in health behaviors, mental health and internet addiction. by gender differences. Prevalence of internet addiction was male: 3.9%, female: 1.9% in this study. As the result of multiple logistic regression, the risk of internet addiction was increased in the case of smoking experience, substance experience, subjective health status, feeling of stress, depression experience, suicidal ideation, feeling of happiness, and sufficiency of sleeps in both male and female. Therefore, to decrease internet addiction prevalence, it is necessary to detect and manage the influencing risk factors of internet addiction such as health behaviors and mental health. And the health-promotion intervention to improve the internet addiction of adolescents should be planed and provided considering such differences by gender differences.

본 연구의 목적은 성별에 따른 한국 청소년의 건강행태, 정신건강과 인터넷 중독 정도를 비교하여 파악하고, 건강행태와 정신건강의 인터넷 중독과의 관련성을 파악하기 위함이다. 본 연구는 질병관리본부가 실시한 "청소년 건강행태 온라인조사(2010)"의 원시자료를 사용하였으며, 총 조사대상자 73,238명 중, 남학생 38,391명과 여학생 34,847명이 분석에 이용되었다. 연구결과, 남학생의 인터넷 중독 고위험군의 비율은 3.9%(1,512명)였으며, 여학생은 1.9%(684명)로 조사되었고, 인터넷 중독의 잠재적 위험군의 비율은 남학생 13.6%(5,225명), 여학생 9.6%(3,401명)으로 나타났다. 건강행태, 정신건강 및 인터넷 중독의 모든 변수에서 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 남학생과 여학생 모두 흡연 경험, 습관적 약물 사용경험, 주관적 건강상태, 스트레스, 우울, 자살생각, 행복감, 수면 충족감이 인터넷 중독 발생에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었는데, 여학생은 남학생에 비해 정신건강 관련 요인이 인터넷 중독과의 관련성이 높았고, 남학생은 여학생보다 건강행태 관련요인이 인터넷 중독 위험에 미치는 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 한국 청소년의 인터넷 중독 예방을 위한 간호 중재는 이와 관련 있는 건강행태와 정신건강 향상을 위한 전략을 포함하고, 성별에 따른 차이를 고려하여, 계획하고 적용하여야 할 것이다.
