Abstract

This study aims to identify individual and familial factors associated with youth sexual experience by using the nationally representative sample data in South Korea. Specifically, we select 68,043 students in middle and high schools participating in the 2015 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Considering the complex survey design, we conduct a descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression for sexual experience. The main results identify factors on sexual experience such as age, type of school, stress level, drinking, smoking, economic status, and cohabiting parents. In particular, the drinking and smoking behaviors are positively associated with sexual experience and the youth living with neither parent is more likely to have a sexual experience than those who lived two parents. In conclusion, the plan of sex education should consider the risk factors and the quality of sex education should be enhanced in order to build more appropriate sexual culture and behaviors among the youth.

본 연구는 우리나라 청소년의 성경험에 영향을 주는 개인 및 가족요인을 파악하고자 우리나라 청소년들에 대한 국가 통계량 생산을 위해 복합표본설계 기반으로 조사되고 있는 제11차 (2015년) 청소년건강행태온라인조사 자료를 활용하였다. 연구 대상자는 2015년 국내 중 고등학교에 재학 중인 68,043명이며, 층화 및 집락, 가중치의 복합표본설계를 고려하여 기본 빈도분석과 성경험 유무에 대한 로지스틱회귀분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 개인 (나이, 학교유형, 스트레스 정도, 흡연, 음주) 및 가족 (경제상황, 부모동거) 요인이 청소년들의 성경험에 유의한 관련성을 가지고 있었다. 특히 음주경험과 흡연경험이 있는 대상이 그렇지 않은 대상에 비해 각각 2.03배와 4.01배 높은 성경험 가능성을 나타내고 있으며, 양부모와 동거하지 않는 대상이 양부모와 동거하는 대상에 비해 3.47배 높은 성경험 가능성을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 청소년들의 올바른 성문화를 위해 위험요인들을 고려한 전문적인 교육을 강화할 필요가 있으며, 특히 개인요인 중 큰 위험요인으로 나타난 음주와 흡연에 노출된 청소년들을 보호하기 위해 국가의 더욱 적극적인 규제가 필요할 것이다. 그뿐만 아니라 경제상태가 좋지 않거나 부모들과 함께 거주하지 않는 자녀에 대해서도 부모들의 더 큰 관심이 필요할 것이다.
