Alcohol drinking prevalence in Korea is higher than in other countries and is associated with various social and health problems. Korean culture tends to be tolerant of alcohol drinking and to regard it as an important medium for maintaining good interpersonal relationships in one's social life. Although alcohol drinking is a means of relieving stress, especially among soldiers, who engage in more binge drinking than civilians, there is lack of research focused on problem drinking among soldiers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the extent of problem drinking across all military services and to identify factors associated with problem drinking by military service type.
Secondary data analysis.
Dataset of the Military Health Survey in 2015.
Altogether, 2252 male professional military personnel were included in this study.
Problem drinking in this study was defined as at-risk drinking and alcohol abuse or dependence with an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification-Korean (AUDIT-K) score of 10 points or higher.
The average AUDIT-K score was 7.38±4.10 points. The prevalence of problem drinking was 16.4% for the Army, 34.5% for the Navy and 32.1% for the Air Force. Factors associated with problem drinking for each military service type were sleep satisfaction (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.284 to 4.236) and family support (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.487 to 0.904) in the Army, smoking status (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.130 to 3.039) and sleep satisfaction (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.142 to 4.574) in the Navy and marital status (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.382 to 0.951), smoking (past smokers and non-smokers OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.593 to 4.973, current smokers and non-smokers OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.114 to 2.544), subjective oral health (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.011 to 3.297) and family support (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.88) in the Air Force.
When implementing health projects to address drinking problems, it is necessary to ensure that service-type-specific factors are considered for integrated management.
韩国的饮酒流行率高于其他国家，与各种社会和健康问题有关。韩国文化倾向于容忍饮酒，并将其视为维持社交生活中良好人际关系的重要媒介。尽管饮酒是一种缓解压力的方式，尤其是在士兵中，他们的狂欢饮酒比平民更为普遍，但对于士兵的问题饮酒问题缺乏研究。因此，本研究的目的是探讨所有军种的问题饮酒程度，并确定与军种相关的问题饮酒的相关因素。
二次数据分析。
2015 年军人健康调查数据集。
共有 2252 名男性职业军人纳入本研究。
本研究中，问题饮酒被定义为高危饮酒和酒精滥用或依赖，酒精使用障碍识别-韩国（AUDIT-K）评分 10 分或更高。
平均 AUDIT-K 评分为 7.38±4.10 分。问题饮酒的患病率分别为陆军 16.4%、海军 34.5%和空军 32.1%。与各军种问题饮酒相关的因素分别为陆军的睡眠满意度（OR 2.33，95%CI 1.284 至 4.236）和家庭支持（OR 0.66，95%CI 0.487 至 0.904）、海军的吸烟状况（OR 1.85，95%CI 1.130 至 3.039）和睡眠满意度（OR 2.29，95%CI 1.142 至 4.574）以及空军的婚姻状况（OR 0.60，95%CI 0.382 至 0.951）、吸烟（既往吸烟者和不吸烟者 OR 2.81，95%CI 1.593 至 4.973，当前吸烟者和不吸烟者 OR 1.68，95%CI 1.114 至 2.544）、主观口腔健康（OR 1.83，95%CI 1.011 至 3.297）和家庭支持（OR 0.63，95%CI 0.45 至 0.88）。
在实施解决饮酒问题的健康项目时，需要确保考虑特定军种的因素，进行综合管理。
