Social interest in sexual intercourse among teenagers is increasing in Korea. This study aimed to identify factors related to sexual intercourse among adolescents.
This is a secondary analysis study using data from the 2020 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, with information regarding 54,948 middle school and high school students in Korea having been analyzed. Demographics, health behavior, and mental health characteristics were included. Data evaluation involved chi-square test and binary multivariable logistic regression analysis.
For middle school students, sexual intercourse was related to their housing type [Odds Ratio (OR) = 10.698], smoking (OR = 5.165) and drinking (OR = 2.229) experience, suicide attempt (OR = 1.920), gender (OR = 1.632), loneliness (OR = 1.501), sadness and despair (OR = 1.493), year level (OR = 1.457), happiness (OR = 0.772), sleep status (OR = 0.716), economic status (OR = 0.705). For high school students, sexual intercourse was related to their smoking experience (OR = 4.746), housing type (OR = 3.661), drinking experience (OR = 2.840), drug use (OR = 2.511), suicide attempt (OR = 2.071), year level (OR = 1.989), sadness and despair (OR = 1.506), gender (OR = 1.429), suicide plan (OR = 1.402), loneliness (OR = 1.270), academic performance (OR = 1.165), happiness (OR = 0.865), subjective health status (OR = 0.814), and economic status (OR = 0.727). However, sleep status was statistically significant for middle school students, but not for high school students. Academic performance, drug use, suicide plan, and subjective health status were statistically significant in high school students, but not in middle school students.
A program that can directly mediate these factors must be prepared. When conducting sex education for adolescents, mental health-related factors must also be considered.
韩国社会对青少年性行为的兴趣日益增加。本研究旨在确定与青少年性行为相关的因素。
这是一项使用 2020 年韩国青少年风险行为调查数据进行的二次分析研究，分析了韩国 54948 名中学生和高中生的信息。纳入了人口统计学、健康行为和心理健康特征。数据评估包括卡方检验和二元多变量逻辑回归分析。
对于中学生，性行为与他们的住房类型[优势比（OR）=10.698]、吸烟（OR=5.165）和饮酒（OR=2.229）经历、自杀企图（OR=1.920）、性别（OR=1.632）、孤独（OR=1.501）、悲伤和绝望（OR=1.493）、年级（OR=1.457）、幸福（OR=0.772）、睡眠状况（OR=0.716）、经济状况（OR=0.705）有关。对于高中生，性行为与吸烟经历（OR=4.746）、住房类型（OR=3.661）、饮酒经历（OR=2.840）、吸毒（OR=2.511）、自杀企图（OR=2.071）、年级（OR=1.989）、悲伤和绝望（OR=1.506）、性别（OR=1.429）、自杀计划（OR=1.402）、孤独（OR=1.270）、学业成绩（OR=1.165）、幸福（OR=0.865）、主观健康状况（OR=0.814）和经济状况（OR=0.727）有关。然而，睡眠状况在中学生中具有统计学意义，但在高中生中则不然。学业成绩、吸毒、自杀计划和主观健康状况在高中生中具有统计学意义，但在中学生中则不然。
必须制定能够直接调解这些因素的计划。在对青少年进行性教育时，还必须考虑与心理健康相关的因素。
