The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between hours of sleep and periodontal diseases among adolescents based on the raw materials of the 5th third-year(2012) national health and nutrition examination survey. The subjects in this study were 593 selected teens who were at the western ages of 12 to 18. SPSS 18.0 for Windows was used to analyze general characteristics, health behavior, oral health care, mental health, and relationship of sleep duration to periodontal disease. As a result, the groups of adolescents who were older and whose household income was larger slept for less hours, and higher toothbrushing frequencies led to more hours of sleep. There were 2.28-fold more periodontal diseases in the group that got five or less hours of sleep than in the group that got eight or more hours of sleep. The above-mentioned findings of the study illustrated that insufficient sleep is linked to periodontal health in adolescence.

This study examined the mental health-related factors of Korean adolescents, especially focusing on the influence of internet use. This study analyzed the raw data from the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 2018. The study population was 60,040, with 50.7% male students and 49.3% female students, and 49.7% high school students and 50.3% middle school students. The dependent variables were stress, sadness and despair, suicidal ideation, suicidal plan, and suicidal attempt. The independent variables were gender and age, health behaviors, and time using the internet. Logistic regression analysis was applied to derive the related factors. For all dependent variables, the main contributing variables were gender, grade, economic status, and academic performance. The mental health of adolescents was related to various factors. In particular, the time using the internet was linearly related to the degree of stress, and a higher student group of time using the internet had a more significant effect on sadness, despair, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal plans. In conclusion, the time using the internet has harmful effects on the mental health of Korean adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of the smartphone overuse on health and academic impairment in adolescents. This study used data from Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey of 2017. This survey was conducted on 64,991 adolescents(middle and high school students), and 62,276 (95.8%) responded. The researchers used frequency analysis, independent t test, chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS 22. As a result, the usage rate of adolescents's smartphone was 54,603 out of 62,276, which was 87.7%. The purpose of smartphone usage was messenger(1st rank, 27.3%), SNS(2nd rank, 18.7%) and game(3rd rank, 13.3%). The average daily use time of the smartphone was 206.68±194.73 minutes. Girl students showed significantly more use time of smartphones than boy students(p<.001). Students with more than 206 minutes of smartphone use had worse health and academic performance than students with less than 206 minutes(p<.001). Time of smart phone usage and academic ability showed a weak correlation(p<.001, r=.245). The present findings showed that the higher the smartphone usage, the lower the health level and academic ability, and the author discussed these results.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the standardization of daily average smartphone use time among adolescents. The data were analyzed using the data from Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey of 2017, and the total number of students analyzed was 54,603. Frequency analysis, independent t test, Pearson correlation analysis, and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. As a result, the correlation coefficient between smartphone use time, age, and grade was very low (r =.025~.039). There was no significant difference in the usage of smartphone between middle and high school students(p>.05). Time of smartphone use was significantly higher in middle school students as the grade increased(p<.05). In high school students, second-year students had significantly more smartphone usage than first and third grade students(p<.05). The researchers described 54603 adolescents' average(minute) daily smartphone usage about sex(male, female), period of use(weekday, weekend), school(middle school, high school), and grade(first, second, third) as a 7th quartile. We suggest that the standard value of smartphone use time can be used as a basis for the physical and mental health management in adolescents. It is necessary to present a standard value that can prove the future overuse of smartphone.

본 연구는 심리적으로 불안정하여 준거집단이나 사회의 영향을 민감하게 받으며, 의복과 외모에 관심이 높은 청소년을 대상으로 전통적 가치관이 무너지고 소비 지향적인 물질주의 가치관이 팽배한 사회 분위기 속에 이들의 심리적 변수인 가치관이 의복행동에 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 서울의 강남과 강북에 위치한 고등학교 1학년 남녀 학생 530명을 대상으로 선행연구에서 사용된 척도를 사용한 실증연구를 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/PC$^{+}$프로그램을 사용하여 t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA등을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 물질주의 가치관은 청소년의 의복착용행동에 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년은 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 의복 착용시 심미성을 더 중시하고 의복에 대한 관심과 의존도가 높으며, 의복을 또래집단과 비슷하게 입으려는 동조성도 더 높았으며 의복을 통해 과시하려는 경 향도 높았다. 그러나 의복착용시 정숙성은 그리 중요하게 생각하지 않았다. 물질주의 가치관은 청소년이 의복을 구매할 때도 영향을 미쳐, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년의 의복구매동기는 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년에 비해 더 충동적이고 과시적이며, 유행과 개성 지향적인 것을 알 수 있었으나 실질적이거나 실용적인 구매동기는 상대적으로 약한 것으로 나타났다. 물질주의 가치관에 따라 청소년의 의복 구매시 사용하는 정보원천과 즐겨 구매하는 장소도 차이가 나타나, 물질주의 가치관이 높은 청소년이 물질주의 가치관이 낮은 청소년보다 의복 구매시 정보를 얻기 위해 더 많은 정보원천을 사용하며, 다양한 구매장소를 활용하며, 더 비싼 의류제품을, 더 자주 구매하며, 쇼핑을 위해서도 더 많은 시간을 할애하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 청소년의 물질주의 가치관은 이들의 의복관심과 의복착용 그리고 구매에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다.

This study aimed to explore the influence of family characteristics on the work-life balance of early adolescents. A series of data analyses was conducted on adolescents' use of time in daily life on the basis of 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS 2018). We found that the work-life balance of youth is related to their parents' health status, presence of older siblings, household income, parenting attitude, parent-child communication time, and mother's occupation. The work-life balance of the fifth graders is more likely to be influenced by family characteristics compared with that of the eighth graders. In particular, the fifth graders' sleep deprivation is affected by the mother's occupation, but there is no significant effect on the eighth graders' sleep deprivation. An important factor in skipping breakfast is household income, with adolescents from low-income families tending to skip breakfast more than five days a week. In addition, parents' health status and parenting attitude are significantly related to skipping of breakfast in early adolescents. Household income is related to the after-school private tutoring hours of both the fifth and eighth graders; however, parenting attitude and mother's occupation are also significant influencing factors of the fifth graders' after-school study. Mother's occupation is related to excessive cell phone use; specifically, the fifth graders whose mothers work white-collar jobs, sales and services or manufacturing are more likely to play with cell phones more than three hours a day than those whose mothers are full-time housewives. These results suggest that the work-life balance policies targeted at the family characteristics of adolescents can improve family environments in a manner that enhances adolescents' life balance, thus supporting the well-being of early adolescents and their families.
