Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of problem gambling on suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts of school adolescents and out-of-school adolescents. Data were obtained from the 2018 Survey on Youth Gambling Problems and analyzed using logistic regressions. The results of this study were as follows: First, Out-of-school adolescents have more problems with the problem gambling severity, experience a decline in academic performance due to gambling, experience of borrowing money from acquaintances of lenders, suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts than school adolescents. Second, regardless of whether they attended school, experience of borrowing money from lenders was identified as significant variable of suicidal ideation and attempt. Third, problem gambling severity, experience of borrowing money from acquaintances of lenders and a decline in academic performance appeared to influence suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts of school adolescents. Based on this results, we suggested the method to decrease suicide due to problem gambling.

본 연구는 청소년 도박문제가 자살생각과 자살시도에 미치는 영향에서 학교 청소년과 학교밖 청소년 간에 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 확인하고자 2018년 청소년 도박문제 실태조사 자료를 활용하여 최근 3개월 이내에 돈내기 게임을 경험한 학교청소년 4,982명과 학교밖 청소년 518명의 실태조사 자료를 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 도박문제수준과 지인이나 업체에서 돈을 빌린 경험, 학업성적 저하경험, 자살생각이나 자살시도 모두 학교 청소년에 비해 학교밖 청소년이 더 심각하였다. 둘째, 돈내기 게임 때문에 업체에서 돈을 빌린 경험은 자살생각과 자살시도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 셋째, 도박문제수준과 돈내기 게임 때문에 친구나 선후배에게 돈을 빌린 경험, 학업 성적 저하 경험은 학교 청소년의 자살생각과 자살시도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 이를 토대로 도박으로 인한 청소년의 자살문제를 예방하기 위한 개입방안에 대해 제시하였다.
