Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the degree of Internet addiction and factors influencing this addiction among high school students in Korea. Method: A total of 405 high school students in the Gyeoung-gi, Daegu and Gyeoung-buk areas were surveyed using questionnaires for data collection. Results: Internet addiction among high school students in Korea was relatively low. In the overall ratio distribution, however, the students who were classified as either addicted or at risk of addiction accounted for a high percentage of the students, 31.1%. Positive or negative relationships were found between internet addiction and the research variables but multiple regression analysis revealed that the most powerful predictor of Internet addiction was depression. Conclusion: Using the above results, it is necessary to develop Internet addiction prevention programs for adolescents. There should be a more comprehensive study in the future for an in-depth understanding of internet addiction of adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how much adolescents use the internet and how much they are addicted to the internet, and to examine the relative effect of the personal and family related variables on the internet addiction. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey given to 420 students of middle school in Kwangju province. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, stepwise multi-regression analysis, Cronbach's $\alpha$, and Pearson's correlations coefficient. The major findings obtained from this study were as follows: 1. The proportion of internet addiction of adolescents was 9.1%. 2. Parent's control, positive family emotion and self-efficacy were proved to be the most significant variables. The internet addiction increased as the score of parent's control got higher, and the scores of the positive family emotion and the self-efficacy lower. 3. Because the positive family emotion was found to be a very important factor in determining internet addiction, this research proposes that the further family life education program should be developed to facilitate the normal family functioning in relations with preventing internet addiction.

Purpose: This study was designed to build a theoretical frame to provide practical help to prevent and manage adolescent internet game addiction by developing a prediction model through a comprehensive analysis of related factors. Methods: The participants were 1,318 students studying in elementary, middle, and high schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Decision Tree Analysis using the Clementine program was applied to build an optimum and significant prediction model to predict internet game addiction related to various factors, especially parent related factors. Results: From the data analyses, the prediction model for factors related to internet game addiction presented with 5 pathways. Causative factors included gender, type of school, siblings, economic status, religion, time spent alone, gaming place, payment to Internet cafe$\acute{e}$, frequency, duration, parent's ability to use internet, occupation (mother), trust (father), expectations regarding adolescent's study (mother), supervising (both parents), rearing attitude (both parents). Conclusion: The results suggest preventive and managerial nursing programs for specific groups by path. Use of this predictive model can expand the role of school nurses, not only in counseling addicted adolescents but also, in developing and carrying out programs with parents and approaching adolescents individually through databases and computer programming.

본 연구는 청소년을 대상으로 음란물 접촉실태와 정도에 따른 성의식과 이성교제태도와의 관계를 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. M시에 거주하는 남녀 중학생 410명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지로 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 57.1%에서 인터넷 음란물을 접촉하였고, 처음 접촉한 시기는 초등학교 4-6학년(48.7%)이었다. 학년이 올라갈수록 인터넷에 많이 노출할수록 음란물 접촉율이 높았으며, 성인식은 음란물 접촉경험이 없는 청소년이 더 긍정적이었으며, 음란물 접촉경험이 있는 경우가 성충동도 더 개방적이었으며, 이성교제 태도도 더 개방적이었다. 이상과 같은 결과를 토대로 고위험군의 음란물 중독 청소년은 정신건강학교나 전문가의 도움을 받아 극복할 수 있도록 정신건강 서비스를 제공하여 문제행동의 예방이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study was to assess the association of internet addiction and depression, stress and suicidal ideation among adolescents. Methods: The authors have surveyed 2 middle schools and 2 high schools located in Seoul and analyzed 525 questionnaires. The questionnaire included the Internet Addiction Self Diagnosis Index (K-index), Child Depression Index (CDI), Stress Index and Reynold's Suicidal Ideation Index. Structural equational model analysis was done to explore the association between internet addiction and suicidal ideation. Results: The adolescent internet addiction groups were classified as the high risk group 12 (2.3%), the potential risk group 64 (12.2%) and the normal group 449 (85.5%). When classified according to sex, the high risk group is consisted of 8 (3.9%) boys, 4 (1.3%) girls and the potential risk group is consisted of 41 (64.1%) boys and 23 (35.9%) girls which leads to the conclusion that boys are relatively more addicted compared with girls. The group with more addiction showed higher depression scores, stress scores and suicidal ideation scores. The correlation analysis showed the significant relations between internet addiction and depression (r=0.263), stress (r=0.265) and suicidal ideation (r=0.284). According to the structural equation model analysis, internet addiction had direct effects on the depression and indirect effects on suicidal ideation. Stress had the significant direct effects on both internet addiction and depression. Depression had a significant direct effect on suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Internet addiction affects directly and indirectly an depression and suicidal ideation among adolescent.

본 연구는 청소년의 가정폭력노출경험이 인터넷 게임중독에 미치는 영향과 그 과정에서 부모애착의 매개효과를 검증함으로써 청소년의 인터넷 게임중독 예방 및 개입에 필요한 근거를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 여성가족부의 "2010년 전국가정폭력 실태조사" 중 '아동 및 청소년 가정폭력 실태 조사' 자료를 사용하였으며 최종 분석대상은 중 고등학생 총 709명이다. 구조방정식을 이용한 분석결과, 가정폭력노출경험은 청소년의 인터넷 게임중독에 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 않았고 부모애착의 감소를 통해 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 애착 대상인 부모가 폭력행동의 주 객체가 될 때, 청소년은 부모에게 정서적 유대감이나 안정감을 얻지 못하게 되고 현실세계의 부모와의 관계에서 애착 안정감이 결여됨에 따라 이를 대체하기 위하여 가상의 게임세계에 유대감이나 애정을 두어 몰입하게 된다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 통해 청소년의 인터넷 게임중독 예방 및 개입을 위한 실천방안이 논의되었다.

본 연구는 청소년 인터넷 중독의 각 유형에 따른 비교분석에 초점을 두고, 인터넷 중독유형에 대한 위험요인과 보호요인의 상대적 영향력을 확인하며, 중독유형간의 공통적 요인과 상이한 요인을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 또한 인터넷 중독유형이 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 1,830명의 청소년들을 대상으로 한 연구결과는 첫째, 청소년의 62.3%는 인터넷 중독이었고, 15.9%는 인터넷 게임중독, 10.9%는 인터넷 섹스중독으로 나타났다. 둘째, 모든 인터넷 중독유형에서 위험요인이 보호요인보다 더 높은 영향력을 나타냈으며, 보호요인의 보상효과는 인터넷 중독과 게임중독에서는 나타났으나, 섹스중독에서는 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 인터넷 중독유형에서의 공통적인 위험요인은 우울, 공격성, 부모 통제, 친구 영향력이었고, 보호요인은 자기통제력 이었다. 상이한 위험요인은 PC접근성이었고, 보호요인은 자기효능감, 교사지지, 친구지지, 부부관계로 나타났다. 넷째, 3개 중독유형 모두에서 일반이용집단보다 중독집단이 더 높은 수준의 정신과적 증상을 경험하는 나타났다. 다섯째, 3개 중독유형 중 섹스중독, 게임중독, 인터넷 중독 순으로 정신과적 증상차원에 높은 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 중독의 정도가 높을수록 정신과적 증상이 심해지는 것으로 나타났다.
