Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health and health risk behaviors of college students and to verify that depression has mediating effects in the relation between perceived stress and health risk behaviors. Data were obtained from the 2015 Community Health Survey conducted nationally, and the subjects of this study were 8,422 college students ranging in age from 19 to 29. Rao-Scott Chi-square test, logistic regression analysis, and Sobel test were used for data analysis. The results of the study showed that perceived stress, depression, present smoking, binge drinking, and high risk drinking of college students were associated with sex, age, and monthly household income. Smoking, binge drinking and high-risk drinking were affected by perceived stress, and depression was an influence factor of current smoking and binge drinking. Depression showed partial mediating effect between perceived stress and current smoking and between perceived stress and binge drinking. Such results suggest that a comprehensive behavioral health intervention strategy that covers mental health care of college students is necessary.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 정신건강과 건강위험행위와의 관련성을 파악하고 인지된 스트레스와 건강위험행위와의 관계에서 우울감이 매개효과를 갖는지를 확인하는 것이다. 연구대상은 2015년 지역사회 건강조사자료에서 도출한 전국의 만 19세에서 29세 사이의 대학생 8422명이다. 자료분석을 위해 복합표본설계에 따라 라오 스콧 교차검정, 로지스틱 회귀분석, Sobel test 등이 사용되었다. 연구결과 대학생의 인지된 스트레스, 우울감, 현재흡연, 폭음 및 고위험 음주는 성, 연령, 월가구소득 등에 따라 차이를 보였다. 인지된 스트레스는 현재흡연, 폭음, 고위험음주의 영향요인이었으며 우울감은 현재흡연과 폭음의 영향요인이었다. 우울감은 인지된 스트레스와 현재흡연, 인지된 스트레스와 폭음과의 관계에서 부분매개효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구결과는 대학생의 인지된 스트레스, 우울감 등의 정신건강문제를 포함하는 포괄적 건강행위 중재전략이 필요하다는 것을 제시한다.
