Abstract

This study was to examine the relationship between suicidal ideation, depression, stress and their parent's socioeconomic status. Nation-wide representative data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009 were used in this study. 904 adolescents with parent were analysed. Parent's socioeconomic status, especially mother's low educational level and the beneficiaries for national basic livelihood security were significant risk factor for adolescents' suicidal ideation. These associations remained significant in multiple logistic regression controlling for all covariates. The findings in the current study support the global literature on the importance of socioeconomic status in promoting adolescent's mental health. Future prevention intervention efforts to improve adolescent's suicide risk will need to take into consideration parent's and household's socioeconomic conditions. Future study is needed to explore the possible proximal risk factors and mediators between parent's socioeconomic status and mental health among adolescents.

본 연구는 청소년이 인지하는 스트레스, 우울 및 자살생각을 확인하고 일반적 특성에 따른 차이와 부모의 사회경제적 지위에 영향 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 본 연구 자료는 질병관리본부의 2009년도 국민건강 영양조사 원시자료 중 건강 설문조사 부분을 응답한 청소년 904명이다. 수집된 자료는 빈도와 백분율, 교차분석, 다변량 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하여 검정하였다. 본 연구의 결과 우울과 자살사고의 경우에서 사회경제적 수준이 낮은 집단에서 더 높은 분포를 보였고, 스트레스의 경우는 사회경제적 수준이 높은 세대주의 자녀의 경험비율이 그 외의 집단에 비해서 높은 수치를 보였다. 우울과 자살생각을 주요결과로 한 분석모형에서는 부모의 직업 상태에 따라 차이가 있었다. 자살생각에 대한 위험요인으로는 어머니의 교육수준과 기초생활수급가족 여부도 포함되었다. 본 논문의 분석방법을 통해 국가표본조사 데이터를 이용하여 자살을 예방하고 우울, 스트레스를 감소시키기 위한 개별 및 집단 상담, 정규 교육 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 요구되며, 청소년 개인의 건강행태 뿐만 아니라 부모의 정보를 바탕으로 하는 위험 집단 선별과 가정내 환경요인 중재를 강화하는 연구에 기여할 수 있다.
