이 연구는 여중생의 수면과 정신건강의 상호연관성을 분석하기 위하여 질병관리본부가 수행하고 온라인을 통해 공개하고 있는 2016 청소년건강행태온라인조사 원자료 중 중학교 여학생의 조사결과인 15,477명을 연구대상으로 하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 일반적 변수들과 흡연, 음주, 수면의 질, 수면시간을 모두 통제하여도 수면시간이 길수록 스트레스 인지율, 우울감 경험률, 자살 생각률이 유의하게 낮았으며, 또 충분한 수면여부에서 '그렇다'라고 답한 경우 스트레스 인지율, 우울감 경험률이 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 유의하게 낮았다. 이 같은 연구결과 여중생의 수면시간과 질은 정신건강의 관련성이 있었기 때문에 향후 여중생들의 정신건강에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수면시간과 질에 대한 추적연구를 포함하여 수면과 정신건강에 대한 스트레스와 우울감의 매개효과 분석과 같은 심층적인 연구와, 청소년의 수면 제한 요소를 줄일 수 있는 정책마련이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study investigated the factors that influence depression in adolescents diagnosed with asthma in South Korea, providing basic data supporting efforts to improve adolescents' mental health. Methods: Multiple regression analysis was conducted on 4,020 subjects who had been diagnosed with lifelong asthma among the 57,303 respondents to the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behaviour Web-Based Survey from 2019. Results: The participants were more likely to have depression if they were female, in middle school, their academic achievement was poor, they were drinkers or smokers, if they felt a very high amount of stress, and if they experienced very inadequate recovery from fatigue. Adolescents with asthma were 9.00 times more likely to experience depression when they felt a very high amount of stress (95% confidence interval [CI]=5.51-14.69, p<.001) than when they felt no stress. Conclusion: Given these factors, measures to improve the mental health of adolescents should be developed and expanded, especially to decrease their stress levels. A separate program that is different from the school's regular health curriculum should be developed to manage the stress levels of adolescents with asthma, such as an after-school program or a program conducted at a local community centre.
