Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the experiences of depression, suicidal thoughts, and habitual drug use in middle and high school students and examine their relationship with the oral symptoms experiences. Methods: The participants of this study were 54,948 middle and high school students who took the screening and health survey at the 16th "Youth Health Behavior Survey" (2020). The SPSS statistical software (IBM SPSS 23.0 for Windows; IBM) was used for data analysis. The significance level was set to 0.05. Results: Complex-sample logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between the experiences of depression, suicidal thoughts, and habitual drug use and oral symptom experienced. The results indicated that the absence of depression, suicidal thoughts, or habitual drugs had a significant effect on oral symptom experience. Conclusion: A systematic counseling program for early detection of oral symptoms and oral health promotion as well as strategies for practicing correct oral hygiene are required. Additionally, it is necessary to develop a customized education program to promote health education in middle and high school students. It can be used as the basis for an integrated support system that students can use to grow healthy. A differentiated program on the topic of mental health promotion for each grade can be planned and its effects can be monitored.

Purpose: Growing evidence indicates that adolescents from multicultural families are more vulnerable to drug use than those from non-multicultural families. This study aimed to compare the factors associated with the habitual drug use among adolescents from multicultural and non-multicultural families. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Data were obtained from the 14~15th (2018~2019) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Overall, 91,443 multicultural (n=1,725) and non-multicultural adolescents (n=89,718) were included. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The multicultural adolescents engaged in more habitual drug use than did non-multicultural adolescents. In both groups, those who currently drank, experienced violent victimization, had sexual experiences, and did not live with their family were at greater risk of engaging in habitual drug use. The odds ratios of these factors were higher in multicultural adolescents than in non-multicultural adolescents. In non-multicultural adolescents, those who were boys, had experienced depression and suicidal ideation, perceived their body image as normal, overweight, or obese, and had poor subjective health status were at greater risk of engaging in habitual drug use. Conclusion: These results highlight the need to develop customized strategies for adolescents from both multicultural and non-multicultural families to reduce and prevent their habitual drug use.

본 연구는 한국의 다문화 청소년 및 일반 청소년의 건강위험행위와 폭력피해경험을 비교하고 폭력피해 경험과 관련된 요인을 건강위험행위를 중심으로 규명하고자 하였다. 제15차 청소년 건강행태 온라인 설문조사(2019)의 자료를 사용하여 35,574명의 청소년을 대상으로 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS/Win 22.0을 사용하여 복합 표본 분석을 하였다. 연구 결과, 다문화청소년은 일반청소년보다 흡연, 습관적 약물사용, 폭력피해 경험이 유의하게 더 높았다. 다문화청소년과 일반청소년 모두 가족과 함께 거주하지 않을수록, 흡연경험과 습관적 약물사용 경험이 많을수록 폭력피해경험이 더 많았다. 일반청소년의 폭력피해경험은 성별, 학력, 경제적 상태, 음주경험과 유의한 관련이 있었다. 따라서 다문화 청소년과 일반 청소년의 폭력피해 경험을 예방하기 위해서는 가족과 함께 살지 않는 청소년에 대한 사회적 지원이 필요하며, 흡연 및 습관적 약물 사용 경험이 있는 청소년에 대한 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 또한 다문화 청소년은 일반 청소년에 비해 건강위험 행위와 폭력피해에 더 취약하므로 다문화청소년의 올바른 건강행위 실천과 폭력피해경험을 예방하기 위한 교육 프로그램이 필요하다.

Herbal medicines are widely used for centuries to treat illness and improve health in Asia and the use of these remedies has become a worldwide form of alternative therapy. However, there is very limited evidence from randomized controlled trials to support the efficacy of the vast majority of herbal products. Of the commonly used herbal medicines, systemic clinical experiences and promising experiments in animals have found potential evidence of efficacy for six herbal medicines (Unkei-to, Hachimijio-gan, Keishi-bukuryo-gan, Toki-shakuyaku-san, Shakuyaku-kanzo-to, Sairei-to) in the treatment for female reproductive dysfunction. Because herbs may contain potent bioactive substances, the physician should have an opportunity to outline more stringent regulation, similar to over-the counter drug.
