Purpose: This study investigated the predictors of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) among female teenagers in Korea who have had intercourse at least once. Methods: This study is based on the 12th Korea Youth Behavior Web-based Survey conducted in April 2016. Data were collected from 798 middle schools and high schools nationwide in Korea and 65,528 students participated. Among the participants, the subjects of this study were 537 female high school students (Grade 10~12). The data were analyzed through complex samples multiple logistic regression using SPSS statistics 22. Results: Among the 537 female adolescents, 11.9% replied they had experienced STI. The predictors of STI among the subjects were 'age at first intercourse' and 'sexual intercourse after drinking'. The risk of STI was lower in the middle (OR=0.26, 95% CI=0.10~0.64) and high school (OR=0.11, 95% CI=0.04~0.27) age groups than those who had their first sexual intercourse at an elementary school age. The sexual intercourse after drinking group had a higher risk of STI, compared to the no sexual relation after drinking group (OR=2.54, 95% CI=1.28~5.07). Conclusion: Practical sex education programs should begin from the elementary stage in order to protect more female adolescents from STI. In addition, sex education including an alcohol prevention program should be considered to lower STI among female adolescents.

This study was conducted to investigate the eating habits, self-perception of body image, and weight control behavior in Korean adolescents by gender. Data pertaining to 70,809 subjects(male 37,090, female 33,719) were obtained from the sixth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey(2010). The rate of skipping breakfast was 42.5% in male, and 45.8% in female students. The intake frequency of vegetable, milk, soda, fast food, and instant noddles was higher in male than female students. Moreover, 33% of male and 31.9% of female students considered themselves to be somewhat or very obese. Notably, 2.3% of underweight students considered themselves to be obese. Weight control measures were practiced in 44.6% of male, and 54.6% of female students. Meal restrictions were used more frequently to control weight by females, while exercise was used more by males. The perceived stress level was higher in female than male students, especially that due to appearance. Therefore, integrated and personalized high school nutrition programs according to gender should be implemented to establish proper body image perception and eating habits, as well as to develop selfesteem.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of eating disorders in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, with the goal of providing data in support of nursing interventions to improve their health. Methods: A total of 136 adolescents aged 13-18 years with type 1 diabetes completed the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory-II, using structured self-reported questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using the t-test, $x^2$ test, and binominal logistic regression with SPSS version 23.0 for Windows. Results: The prevalence of eating disorders in adolescents with type 1 diabetes was 39%. Four significant predictors of eating disorders were identified; absence of body satisfaction (odds ratio [OR]=3.87, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.55~9.65), depression (OR=2.87, 95% CI=1.13~7.28), female gender (OR=2.67, 95% CI=1.09~6.54), and glycosylated hemoglobin type A1c levels (OR=1.47, 95% CI=1.10~1.97). Conclusion: In order to prevent eating disorders among adolescents with type 1 diabetes, programs for managing adolescents' depression and improving their body satisfaction should be developed. Futhermore, more attention should be directed towards programs aiming to prevent eating disorders in female adolescents.

청소년들의 칼슘에 대한 인식 및 섭취실태를 파악하기 위하여 부산시내 초등학교 6학년 145명, 고등학교 2학년 140명, 총 295명을 대상으로 이들의 칼슘에 대한 인식 및 섭취실태를 설문 및 식이섭취조사 방법을 통하여 조사하였다. 연구결과, 청소년들은 칼슘과 우유의 기능, 골다공증과 칼슘과의 관계는 잘 인식하고 있었으나, 칼슘의 흡수와 관련이 있는 영양소에 대해서는 인식이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 칼슘에 대한 인식의 정도는 여학생들이 높은 점수를 얻었으며 초등학교 남학생에서 가장 낮은 점수를 나타내었다. 칼슘식품에 대한 기호도는 아이스크림, 김, 요구르트 순으로 높았으나 콩 및 뱅어포 등은 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 연령 및 성별에 따라 좋아하는 정도가 달랐다. 청소년들의 하루 평균 칼슘 섭취량은 여학생에서 491.51~530.5 mg, 남학생이 554.5~636.7 mg이었으며 이는 한국인 영양권장량의 각각61.4~66.3%, 69.3~70.7%의 범위를 나타내었다 칼슘 섭취량이 RDA 66.7% 미만의 경우가 고등학교 여학생에서 54.9%로 다른 집단보다 높게 나타났으며 특히 여고생들이 운동의 횟수나 운동량이 적다는 사실도 함께 나타나 이 집단에 대한 영양교육의 필요성이 절실하였다. 또한 청소년들의 칼슘급원 식품군은 우유 및 유제품, 채소류, 어패류 및 곡류 순이었으며, 칼슘섭취량은 칼슘에 대한 영양지식과 양의 상관관계를 보여 인식이 높을수록 칼슘섭취량이 많은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 청소년의 수면시간이 자살충동에 미치는 영향에 대한 성별 차이를 분석했다. 전국 규모의 자료를 사용해 이항 로지스틱 분석을 실시했으며, 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 평일 수면시간은 남학생 집단에서만 자살충동에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 평일 수면시간이 7시간 미만인 남학생이 자살충동을 경험할 가능성이 그렇지 않은 학생보다 약 1.9배 높았으며, 이 효과는 관련 변인을 통제했을 때도 유의했다. 여학생의 경우에는 평일 수면시간이 7시간 미만인 학생이 자살충동을 경험할 가능성이 약 1.3배 높았지만, 이 효과는 스트레스 변인 등을 통제했을 때 유의하지 않게 변했다. 한편, 주말 수면시간은 성별에 관계없이 자살충동에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못했다. 주말에는 일반적으로 등교부담이 없어 수면부족을 덜 경험하기 때문에 수면시간의 자살충동 효과가 유의하지 않게 나타난 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 수면시간의 자살충동 효과에서 나타나는 평일과 주말 수면시간, 성별 집단에 따른 차이를 밝힘으로써 수면시간 연구에서 사회적 접근이 필요하다는 주장을 뒷받침했다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between female adolescents's relationships with their parents, psychological well-being, and attitudes towards eating. General characteristics of the subjects such as their school grades, and religion, and their parents' level of educational, marital status, and income were also analyzed in relation with the three major variables. Female adolescents' psychological well-being consisted of two indices: self-esteem and depression. The sample of this study consisted of 419 female students from 4 middle schools and 2 high schools located in Jeollabuk-Do province and the data were collected by using the method of self-administered questionnaires. The results of the analyses showed that there were significant differences in the level of parental attachment across parents' marital status, father's education level, and family income. Participants' psychological well-being levels were also different according to their grades, parents' marital status, and father's education level and income; and the level of eating attitude was different according to their school grades. The correlation analyses results indicated that parental attachment was positively related to self-esteem but negatively to a depressive mood. In addition, female students' eating attitudes were negatively associated with parental attachment and self-esteem, but positively with a depressive mood. Finally, multiple regression analysis found that a negative eating attitude was strongly influenced by a depressive mood, while parental attachment seemed to influence eating attitude indirectly through a depressive mood.
