Objectives : To identify the relationship between the internet addiction of adolescents and their Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile and Perceived Health Status, and thereby to detect the impact of internet addiction on the health of adolescents, produce the basic information necessary to develop a prevention program for internet addiction and to plan for a health promotion program. Methods : This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, and the subjects were the second-grade students of three junior-high and three high schools located in the city of K in Kyung Gi Province. Out of 769 subjects, 764 completed the questionnaires (99.3%); 369 (48.3%) junior-high school students and 395 (51.7%) high school students. The questionnaires were composed of Young's Internet Addiction, Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile, Perceived Health Status, and general characteristics. We used t-test, ANOVA in means comparison between groups, X2-test in frequency analysis, and multiple regression analysis in multivariate analysis, using the SAS $8.1^{\circledR}$ program. Results : There was a statistically significant difference in Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile according to internet addiction status (severe addiction vs. other status, p<0.0001). The Perceived Health Status scores was lowest in the severe addiction group (p<0.001). There was also a significant negative correlation between internet addiction and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile (p<0.0001). The results of multiple regression showed that Young's Addiction Score was significant for the subjects' Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile after controlling for other variables (p<0.0001). Conclusions : This study showed that the severe internet addiction group had the lowest score in Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile and Perceived Health Status, which suggests that the addiction could have a negative effect on the health status of adolescents.

본 연구의 목적은 스마트폰 중독 예방을 위한 문학치료 프로그램이 청소년에게 효과적인지를 검증하는데 있다. 연구대상은 J시 K중학교 전체 학생 150명을 대상으로 스마트폰 중독 척도검사를 실시하였으며, 프로그램을 완성한 후 스마트폰 중독 검사지로 실험, 통제집단 모두에게 사후검사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 이 프로그램은 스마트폰 중독을 완화시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 지향적 생활 문제를 감소시키는데 효과적이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 내성과 통제력상실 문제와 금단과 정서경험문제를 감소시키는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 제언은 청소년을 위한 집단프로그램이 학교와의 연계통로가 이루어지지 않는다면 날로 증가하는 스마트폰 중독의 문제를 효과적으로 예방하기 어렵기 때문에 지역 내 관련기관과의 연계를 위한 제도적 장치가 요구된다. 따라서 학교 교과목 중 컴퓨터 교과 과정 속에 스마트폰 중독 예방을 위한 부모교육을 실시할 필요가 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 스마트미디어 중독예방 지원체계의 현황과 문제점을 탐색해보고 스마트미디어 중독을 예방하는 융복합정책 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 문헌연구를 토대로 진행된 연구의 주요한 결과는 다음과 같다. 우리사회의 스마트미디어 중독예방체계로는 스마트쉼센터, 한국청소년복지상담개발원, 아이윌센터 등 정부산하기관이 존재한다. 그러나 이 예방체계들은 연령별, 지역별 특성을 반영한 대상 맞춤형 서비스가 제공되지 않을 뿐만 아니라 획일적으로 규제중심이라는 것이 문제로 지적되었다. 선진국 사례를 통해 제시된 정책방안으로 규제보다는 책임감 있는 사용의 교육, 가족 참여를 유도하는 개입의 강화, 유해환경 차단시스템을 확충, 그리고 지자체, 민간기관의 협력을 통한 중앙정부의 통합적 관리의 필요성이 제시되었다. 스마트미디어 중독은 새롭게 주목을 받는 문제이므로 우리사회의 기준에 부합하는 예방정책을 마련하기 위한 후속연구의 필요성을 제기하였다.

본 연구는 페이스북과 같은 소셜미디어의 중독과 지속사용 의도에 관한 연구를 통해 디지털 정책의 대안을 제시하고자 한 연구이다. 이를 위해 연구자는 소셜미디어 사용자가 인식하는 중독 증상에 대해 선행과 후행의 변인을 찾아보고, 서비스 지속 이용에 대한 방안 및 중독의 예방을 위한 함의를 얻고자 하였다. 연구결과 1) 개인의 혁신성은 서비스 만족, 중독, 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치고, 2) 서비스 만족이 중독과 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치며, 3) 서비스 중독 인식이 지속사용 의도에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 이 점은 이용자의 중독인지가 서비스의 지속 성장에 장애가 됨을 설명하는 결과였다. 본 연구의 정책적 제안은 다음 두 가지로 요약된다. 1) 서비스 제공사업자는 이용자가 중독적인 사용행태를 보일 때 이용자가 중독으로 인해 서비스로부터 이탈하지 않도록 주의를 기울여야 한다. 2) 정부는 서비스 중독의 예방을 위해 이용자가 중독으로 인한 불편함을 인지할 때 대처할 수 있는 치유시설, 서비스 등을 제공해야 할 것으로 기대된다.

In multiple regression analysis, addictiveness on internet game was significantly related to type of computer utilization, frequency and duration of internet game playing, gender, after-school activities, grade points, economical status, and location of computer in a house. Health perception was significantly related to addiction points, gender, residential area, and grade points. And health promoting behavior was significantly related to addiction points, grade level, grade points, and health perception points. Since health promoting behaviors of children in elementary school are in the way of making, their degree of addiction to computer games can greatly influence their attitude towards health and their future life pattern as adults. Therefore an educational prevention program including counselling on game addiction should be devised. And researches will be needed for developing the Korean standard for measuring degree of addiction and a prevention program for peer group's game addiction.
