대학교 신입생들의 건강위험행태 = Health and risk taking behaviors of freshmen in college

국문 초록 (Abstract)

목 적 : 건강위험행동은 만성질환의 가장 큰 원인으로 보건 교육의 예방 목표이다. 예방을 위한 적절한 개입이 필요한 시점인 후기 청소년기에서 각 위험행태에 대한 현황과 그 위험행동을 지속하게 할 수 있는 위험요인을 찾아 청소년의 건강한 생활 습관을 형성할 수 있는 인자들을 규명하고자 하였다.
방 법 : 2006학년도 고려대학교 신입생들을 대상으로 한 건강 검진에 참여한 학생 중 자발적으로 설문지에 응답한 1,297명을 대상으로 비공개 설문지를 통한 조사를 실시하였으며, 설문지는 기본 정보와 4가지의 건강 위험행태(흡연, 음주, 약물사용, 성 행태)에 대한 문항으로 구성되었다.
결 과 : 친구의 흡연과 주변 사람의 흡연하는 정도가 흡연 경험에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 흡연경험자가 현재흡연자로 이행할 위험요인들은 남성, 도시출신, 친구의 흡연, 니코틴 의존도로 나타났다. 고 위험 음주군의 위험요인들로 남성, 만취하는 회수, 음주한 기간, 과음에 대한 위험성 인식이 낮은 경우가 있었다. 부적절한 약물 사용 경험자는 1.0%로 비교적 낮은 편이었으나 처방 없이 약물을 구하는 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 성 행태 조사 결과 성교육을 받은 경우는 68.1%이나 성교육을 받은 사람에서 피임여부가 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 자신이 양성애를 포함하여 동성애적인 성향을 가진다고 대답한 경우는 1.6%로 나타났으며 거의 이성애로 인식하는 경우는 여성의 비율이 유의하게 높았다.

Purpose : This study was conducted to survey the preliminary data on risk behaviors and to identify the factors that prevent risk-behaviors in late adolescence.
Methods : Freshmen(n=1,297) beginning the first semester in Korea University, Seoul, Korea completed self-administered risk behavior questionnaires, comprising 5 domains : demographics, smoking, drinking, drug abuse and sexual behavior.
Results : The rate of smoking experience was higher in people having friends who smoke and the predictors of transition to current smoking were male gender, urban residence, friends' smoking, and nicotine dependence. The rate of high risk drinking was higher among students who are male and who had experience of heavy episodic drinking. The study group showed a low prevalence of narcotic users, but two-thirds of students could get medicine easily without prescriptions. The prevalence of sexual experience was 6.5 percent, and the sexual education was not a predictor of contraceptive behavior. The prevalence of homosexuality was 1.6 percent, and the rate of mostly heterosexuality was higher in female students.
Conclusion : The main targets of youth health education should be campaigns aimed at atcessation of reinforcing risk behaviors and the development of a surveillance system for the prevention of chronic disease. These results can be used to find risk factors of health-risk behaviors among late adolescents.
