This study investigates the effects of gender equality values, perceptions of gender equality, and gender cultural characteristics on adolescents' marriage intentions in the Busan area. For this research purpose, we used data from a survey on youth sexual culture in Busan. We found that conservative values and misogynistic value perceptions, which are subfactors of gender equality values, appeared at levels below the median. Perceptions of gender equality were also reported at a level below the median. Among the sexual culture characteristics, most of the experience of requesting housework was found to have not been requested for less than one out of five items, and the frequency of sex-related conversations with friends was found to be lower than the median. More than half of the respondents had dating experience, and adolescents' marriage intentions were slightly higher than the median. In addition, gender equality values, perceptions of gender equality, and gender cultural characteristics all had a significant effects on adolescents' marriage intentions. Specifically, more conservative values corresponded to, lower perceptions of misogynistic values, and higher awareness of gender equality corresponded to, more experience with requesting housework. Furthermore, a higher frequency of sex-related conversations, and more adolescent dating experiences, corresponded to higher marriage intentions among adolescents. Based on these findings, we propose policy measures to improve adolescents' marriage intentions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine risk factors for sexual behaviors in Korean female high school students. Methods: Data was collected by a written questionnaire from June 22 to July 18, 2002 from 522 girls, who were stratified samples from a target population of 63,375 11th grade students from 200 regular high schools and 70 vocational high schools in Seoul, Korea. We conducted multiple regression analysis using the SAS pc＋ program. Results: Risk factors for intimate behaviors were association with boy friends, differential association, family attachment, and family abuse experience. These variables cause 68% of intimate behaviors. Risk factors for sexual experiences were differential association, association with boy friend, and family attachment. These variables cause 14% of sexual experiences. Conclusion: Efforts to reduce sexual behaviors in girls should include the possible role of peers and develop peer leader programs.

This study tries to identify and clarify the concept of barriers to sexual health nursing care. A hybrid model was used to perform a concept of barriers to sexual health nursing care. To accomplish this, we analyzed data collected from 4 participants as well as from available literature regarding. We categorized barriers to sexual health nursing care were identified to have five dimensions and six attributes. The definition of barriers to sexual health nursing care recognizes the need and necessity of sexual health nursing care, but due to difficulty in accessing sex, prejudice, stereotypes, difficulty in communication, and lack of knowledge related to sex, the subjects are provided with professional sexual health nursing education and it is found that the service was not provided. This study is a basic data for evaluating barriers to sexual health nursing care as a prerequisite for reducing barriers to sexual health nursing care experienced by nurses to provide sexual health nursing care. Besides, the results may serve as a basis for proposing the development of a program to reduce barriers to sexual health nursing care.

The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics related to self assertiveness in teenage girls, and to identify the relationship between the self assertiveness and sexual experiences in teenage girls in Korea. The subjects for this study were 12,733 girls from an accessible population of 19,000 girls who were a multi-stage cluster sample from a population of 1,988,902 girls attending to 4,684 schools in the seven large cities and nine provinces of Korea. The response rate was 68.9%. Data were collected by mail from October 2 to October 28, 2000. A structured questionnaire of 125 items which included measurement of general characteristics, sexual experiences, and self-assertiveness was used. The sexual experiences were defined as dating, holding hands, putting arms on the shoulders, light kissing, French kissing, touching breasts, touching genitalia, and coitus. The self assertiveness measurement was developed by S. B. Chang et al.(2000) and has a Cronbach's alpha of .6031. Data was analyzed with SPSS 10.0 Program using descriptive statistics, reliability, and t-test. The results of this study are as follows; 1. The subjects were from 9th to 11th graders and 42.7% answered that they followed their partner's request. The range for the self assertiveness score was 7-21 out of a possible range of 7-21. The group of girls who were in vocational schools, lived away from family or in rural areas, attended night school, took part in drinking, smoking, and glue inhalation, who had cyber sex or phone sex or were exposed to pornography, and who had run away from home showed significantly lower self assertiveness scores than those without these characteristics (P<.05). 2. The group which had experience in dating(t=2.379, P=.017), French kissing (t=5.425, P=.000), touching breasts (t=8.637, P=.000), touching genitalia (t=6.057, P=.000), and coitus(t=6.057, P=.000) showed significantly lower self assertiveness scores than the group which had not had these sexual experiences. But there was no difference in the self assertiveness scores between the group which had experience of holding hands, light kissing, and using contraceptives compared to the group which did not. It can be concluded that the group which had delinquent behavior showed lower self assertiveness, and the lower self assertiveness led to unwanted sexual experiences. It is suggested that self assertiveness training be provided for the group with delinquent behavior as a first priority, and then analyze of the process of self assertiveness in relation to sexual experiences.

본 연구는 성교육이 학생들의 성 지식, 태도, 역할 정체감에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 실험군과 대조군으로 집단을 나누어 실험군에게 의도적인 성교육 실시하여 그 결과를 살펴보고 향후 학교에서 실시되는 성교육 계획 수립에 도움을 주고자 하는 실험연구이다. 본 연구의 대상은 충청북도 제천시에 위치한 J초등학교 5학년 6개 학급을 대상으로 실험군 100(남 50, 여 50), 대조군 100(남 50, 여 50) 총 200명을 대상으로 실시하였으며 자료 수집은 2009년 10월 15일부터 2009년 11월 25일까지 실시하였다. 연구도구는 문헌고찰을 통해 성 지식, 성 태도, 성역할 정체감에 사용한 설문지를 구성타당도 검증을 통해 문항을 구성 선정하였으며, 신뢰도는 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ 값으로 검증하였다. 연구 대상자의 일반적 특성을 보면 92%의 학생이 부모님이 있고, 88.5%가 형제자매가 있으며, 집안 분위기는 60%가 자유스럽고, 7%가 엄한 것으로 나타났다. 연구 대상자의 성관련 특성으로 가정에서 성교육을 받아본 경험이 있는 경우는 36%로 나타났으며, 성과 관련된 정보를 얻는 순서는 87.5%의 학생이 학교 보건선생님한테 성 관련 정보를 얻는 경우가 대부분이었고, 다음 순서로는 부모님, 서적류, 담임선생님, 영상매체, 친구, 형제자매 순으로 나타났다. 연구 대상자의 신체변화정도를 살펴보면 여자의 경우 월경이 있는 경우는 20%정도, 가슴의 변화는 84%로 나타났으며, 남자의 경우 몽정이 있는 경우는 4%로 나타났으며, 남녀 모두 변성기, 여드름, 발모, 몽정, 월경, 가슴변화 등 한 가지 이상 신체변화가 나타난 경우는 56%로 나타났다. 연구 대상자의 성지식 사전 사후 점수를 비교해보면 두 집단 모두 사전보다 사후 점수가 증가하였다. 사후검사에서 교육을 받지 않은 대조군의 성지식 점수는 소폭 증가하였으나 성교육을 실시한 실험군의 성지식 점수는 더 큰 폭으로 높았으며, 특히 신체발달에서 사전검사에 대조군은(M=2.17), 실험군은 (M=1.66)으로 실험군의 점수가 낮았으나, 사후검사에서는 대조군은(M=2.76), 실험군은(M=3.90)으로 실험군의 점수가 더 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 학교에서의 체계화된 성교육은 학생들의 성 지식, 태도, 성 역할 정체감 형성에 도움을 줄뿐만 아니라 성교육을 부끄러워하고, 쑥스러워하며, 어색해 하던 아이들이 문제 중심 학습을 적용하여 자기 주도적으로 문제를 해결하고, 체험, 실습, 역할극, 토의 등의 활동적인 수업에 적극 참여하고, 자연스럽게 활동하여 긍정적인 '밝은 성(性)'으로 변해가는 모습을 관찰할 수 있었다. 성교육은 인간의 성장과 발달에 따라 변화하는 과정이라는 것을 인식하여 건전한 성, 건강한 성을 함양하기 위해 체계적이고 발달 단계에 맞추어 이루어져야 할 것이다.
