Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify the sexual behavior and associated factors of Korean female junior high school students. This study design was cross-sectional, and used raw data from the 2013 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Among the data from 72,435 students, we analyzed those from 17,609 female junior high school students. Descriptive statistics were used to identify sexual behavior, and χ2-test and logistic regression were used to identify factors related to sexual behavior. Among the female students, 2.5% responded that they had experienced sexual intercourse, and the prevalence of sexual intercourse was higher among mixed-school students than girls’-school students. The students’ risk behaviors or mental health such as drinking, smoking, drug use, depression, and suicidal ideation or attempt showed significant associations whether they had experiences of sexual intercourse or not. Factors which significantly related to students’ likelihood of sexual intercourse were smoking, drug use, depression, suicidal attempt, perceived economic status, and part-time job experiences. Based on the results of this study, development of a sexual education program including a focus on the students’ risk behaviors and mental health is recommended to reduce the likelihood of risky sex among Korean female junior high school students.

韩国初中女生药物使用与性行为的关系：一项基于网络的横断面调查

摘要本研究旨在了解韩国初中女生的性行为及其相关因素。这项研究设计是横断面的，使用了2013年韩国青少年风险行为网络调查的原始数据。在72435名学生的数据中，我们分析了17609名初中女生的数据。描述性统计用于识别性行为，χ2检验和逻辑回归用于识别与性行为相关的因素。在女学生中，2.5%的人回答说她们经历过性交，而且混合学校学生的性交发生率高于女子学校学生。学生的危险行为或心理健康，如饮酒、吸烟、吸毒、抑郁和自杀意念或企图，无论他们是否有性交经历，都显示出显著的相关性。与学生性交可能性显著相关的因素有吸烟、吸毒、抑郁、自杀企图、感知经济状况和兼职经历。根据这项研究的结果，建议制定一项性教育计划，重点关注学生的危险行为和心理健康，以降低韩国女初中生发生危险性行为的可能性。
