Abstract

This study was analyzed based on 1051 analyzes of questionnaires in order to examine the status and perception of abused drugs according to the gender of the young people entering the adult group from the adolescents. The gender of the young people who participated in the survey was 686 males and 365 females, and the types of abused drugs and their perceptions of harmful effects of narcotics and abused drugs were analyzed according to gender. As a result of the study, the experience of using alcohol, tobacco, appetite suppressants, sedatives, and opioid analgesics was statistically significant according to gender. Among the harmful effects of narcotic drugs and drugs of abuse, significant results were shown on the recognition of risks, induced problems, and sympathy for risks. As for the desirable way to improve the problem of narcotics and substance abuse, 257 women (68.2%) of women wanted publicity (enlightenment) activities, and about effective education for preventing narcotics and substance abuse, 379 men (54.2%) of men %) appeared as online online education. It is considered that proper education and publicity about drug use is necessary in the reality that drug addiction among young people due to drug abuse is increasing.

본 연구는 청소년층에서 성인층으로 진입하는 청년층의 성별에 따른 남용약물에 대한 사용실태와 인식을 살펴 보기 위해 분석 가능한 설문지 1051부를 토대로 분석하였다. 설문에 참여한 청년들의 성별을 보면 남자 686명, 여자 365명이었으며, 성별에 따라 남용되는 약물의 종류와 마약류 및 남용약물에 대한 폐해 인식에 대해 분석하였다. 연구결과 술, 담배, 식욕억제제, 진정수면제, 아편계열 진통제 사용 경험이 성별에 따라 통계적으로 유의하였으며, 마약류 및 남용약물에 대한 폐해 인식 중 위험성과 유발문제인식, 위험성에 대한 공감에 대해서도 유의한 결과를 보였다. 마약류 및 약물남용 문제를 개선하기 위한 바람직한 방안은 여성은 257명(68.2%)가 홍보(계몽) 활동을 원하는 것으로 나타났으며, 마약류 및 약물남용 예방을 위한 효과적인 교육에 대해서 남성은 379명(54.2%)이 인터넷 온라인교육으로 나타났다. 남용약물에 의한 청년층의 약물 중독이 증가하고 있는 현실에서 약물사용에 대한 올바른 교육과 홍보가 필요하다고 사료된다.
