Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effects of adolescents' self-perceived health on their life satisfaction and verify the mediating effects of the relationship between the two factors. The analysis was conducted using the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study (KCYPS, Ed. 6), and the results are as follows. In terms of the factors, the mean value of the adolescents' self-perceived health was 3.13, which was regarded as a moderate level, while the values of life satisfaction and self-esteem were 2.80 and 2.90, respectively, which were regarded as low levels. An analysis of the study model showed that the adolescents' self-perceived health affected their life satisfaction, and self-esteem played a meditating role in such a relationship. In other words, a higher level of self-perceived health would help improve self-esteem, which would promote a level of life-satisfaction. Therefore, this study has implications that healthcare or psychological/ emotional resources have been identified to influence adolescents' life satisfaction. Furthermore, multidimensional interventions are needed to reinforce the individuals' psychological and develop emotional resources in healthcare or welfare fields. Moreover, efforts are needed to enhance the adolescents' self-perceived health that would affect their life satisfaction.

본 연구는 청소년의 주관적 건강이 삶의 만족감에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 이러한 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개 효과를 검증하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 위해 한국아동·청소년패널자료(6차)를 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 주요 변수를 살펴보면, 청소년의 주관적 건강은 평균 3.13점으로 보통수준으로 나타났으나, 삶의 만족감 수준과 자아존중감 수준은 각각 2.80, 2.90으로 보통보다 다소 낮은 수준인 것으로 분석되었다. 연구모형의 분석결과, 청소년의 주관적 건강은 삶의 만족감에 영향을 미치며 이러한 관계에서 자아존중감이 부분매개 효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 주관적 건강 상태가 높을수록 자아존중감 수준이 높아지며, 높은 자아존중감 수준은 삶의 만족감 수준을 향상시키는 것을 의미한다. 이에 본 연구의 결과를 통해 청소년의 삶의 만족감에 영향을 미치는 보건 및 심리·정서적 자원을 확인하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 더불어 본 연구는 청소년 삶의 만족감 향상을 위해 청소년이 인지하는 건강 수준을 높이기 위한 노력과 개인의 심리·정서적 자원의 강화를 위한 보건 및 복지 영역의 다각적인 개입이 필요함을 제언하고자 한다.
