현재 우리 군에 입대하는 초급간부와 병사들의 대부분은 후기청소년들 이다. 그러나 이들을 위한 장려정책에 대한 고민은 매우 부족한 실정이 다. 이에 본 연구를 통하여 후기청소년기의 특성을 분석해보고, 이들을 위한 병영문화 개선과제에 대해 고찰해보고자 한다. 본 연구에서 적용한 주요 연구방법으로 연구 특성을 고려하여 병영문화 개선 및 MZ 세대 연 구와 관련 학술지, 학위논문 등 문헌연구와 일부 실증연구 자료를 활용 하였다. 후기청소년기의 장병 특성을 고려해서 한국군의 병영문화 개선 에 대해 다음 몇 가지 방안을 도출하였다. 첫째, 병사계층의 권한과 책임 강화. 둘째, 여성가족부의 지원을 통한 군내 후기청소년의 정신발달과 스 트레스 극복 방안 마련. 셋째, 마약을 비롯한 항정신성 약물에 대한 강력 한 대응. 넷째, 초급간부에 대한 관심 필요. 이외에도 후기청소년 전문가 양성과 후기청소년을 위한 이해 등의 과정도 고려되어야 한다. 마지막으 로 정서지능 향상을 위한 의사소통의 활성화와 사회경험 제공 방안에 대 한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구를 통하여 군 내에서 후기청소년에 대한 인 식이 확대될 수 있을 것이며 이를 통해 후기청소년들은 더 많은 성장을 이루어 낼 것이다.

This study investigated associations between healthy dietary practices and the odds of prediabetes among Korean adolescents. The data of 1,624 adolescents aged 12 to 18 who participated in the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Healthy dietary practices were defined according to Health Plan 2030 criteria, and prediabetes was defined as a fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL. After controlling for confounders, adjusting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prediabetes were determined for different healthy dietary practices using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Compared with adolescents who engaged in healthy dietary practices, those who did not had a 1.63-fold (95% CI: 1.12-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes. In addition, adolescents who did not consume ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and those who refrained from reading nutritional fact labels, which are both subindicators of healthy dietary practices, had a 1.66 (95% CI: 1.05-2.62) and 1.58-fold (95% CI: 1.06-2.37) higher odds of prediabetes, respectively, than those who did. Increasing the proportion of adolescents engaging in healthy dietary practices, such as consuming ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables daily and reading nutritional fact labels when selecting food, is imperative.

본 연구는 제15차(2019) 청소년건강행태조사의 원시자료를 활용하여 생물-심리-사회 모델을 바탕으로 우리나라 청소년의 편의식품 섭취 경험의 영향요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 생물학적 요 인으로 성별, 학년, 아토피 피부염이 주요 요인으로 분석되었으며, 심리학적 요인으로는 스트레스 인지 수 준, 우울감 경험, 자살 생각 여부, 주관적 수면충족, 주관적 건강상태, 신체활동, 현재 흡연과 음주 경험이 영향요인으로 확인되었다. 또한 사회학적 요인으로는 영양 및 식이 교육, 아침식사 여부, 학업 성적, 주관 적 경제상태, 동거가족 여부가 청소년의 편의식품 섭취 경험에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결 과를 바탕으로 청소년의 건강한 식습관 관리를 위해서는 실효성 있는 영양 및 식이교육 프로그램 제공과 정서적 지지가 필요하며, 가족 구성원을 교육 대상에 포함시키는 등 다각적이고 체계적인 대책마련이 필요 하다.

In this study, we aimed to explore whether eating alone is associated with mental health conditions in Korean adolescents. The data of 2,012 Korean adolescents aged 12-18 years were obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015–2019. Participants were classified into three groups based on the frequency of eating alone: none (all meals with others); 1 meal/day alone; and 2 meals/day alone. Mental health conditions were assessed based on stress recognition, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Multivariable logistic regressions were employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of poor mental health conditions according to the frequency of eating alone. Adolescents who ate 2 meals/day alone had higher odds of stress recognition (AOR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.94- 3.63), depressive symptoms (AOR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.47-4.42), and suicidal ideation (AOR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.05-6.08) than those who ate all their meals with others. In addition, having breakfast or dinner alone increased the odds of stress recognition. Considering the continuous increase in the social phenomenon of eating alone, nutritional educations are needed to develop adolescents' ability to choose more nutritionally balanced and healthy meals when eating alone.

This study was undertaken to examine body image distortion among female adolescents and identify related factors. Raw data from the 14th Korean Youth Health Behavior Survey were used. The proportion of participants exhibiting body image distortion was 39.5%, with the ratio being higher among female students of normal weight as compared to underweight female students. Logistic regression revealed that the risk of having a distorted body image was higher among high school females than in middle school females having lower subjective academic performance and household economic status. In addition, the risk of having a distorted body image was higher for students who drank alcohol when compared to students who did not drink, for the group engaging vigorously in physical activity (exercise) more than three times per week as opposed to the group exercising less than three times per week, and for the group consuming less than one serving of fruit per day as compared to the group consuming more than one serving of fruit per day. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that continuous nutrition education needs to be provided so that adolescents can correctly perceive their body images and form desirable eating habits.

The purpose of study was to examine the factors influencing fast food consumption in Korean adolescents. The analysis was conducted using cross sectional study data from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey in 2020. A total 54,948 middle and high school students participated in this study. The subjects in the analysis were 28,353 males and 26,595 females, 28,961 middle school and 25,987 high school students. In total, 56.6% Korean adolescents consumed fast food once or twice weekly and 25.4% consumed fast food more than three times weekly. Logistic regression analysis revealed that fast food consumption was significantly associated with dietary behavior such as lower breakfast intake (OR: 0.930, 95%CI: 0.891~0.970, p<0.001), higher soda drinks consumption (OR: 2.563, 95%CI: 2.452~2.678, p<0.001), and higher sweet drinks consumption (OR: 1.898, 95%CI: 1.818~1.982, p<0.001). For psychological and health behavior factors, fast food consumption was also significantly associated with higher perceived stress (OR: 1.239, 95%CI: 1.163-1.321, p<0.001), higher smoking (OR: 1.300, 95%CI: 1.164~1.453, p<0.001), higher drinking (OR: 1.193, 95%CI: 1.112~1.280, p<0.001), higher depression experience, higher loneliness experience, and lower subjective health, In conclusion, fast food consumption in Korean adolescents was associated with undesirable dietary habits and psychological and health behavior, suggesting that appropriate education programs are necessary to reduce such behavior.

본 연구는 한국의 다문화 청소년 및 일반 청소년의 건강위험행위와 폭력피해경험을 비교하고 폭력피해 경험과 관련된 요인을 건강위험행위를 중심으로 규명하고자 하였다. 제15차 청소년 건강행태 온 라인 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 약물 사용, 폭력피해 경험이 유의하게 더 높았다. 다문화청소년과 일반청소년 모두 가족과 함께 거주하지 않을 수록, 흡연경험과 습관적 약물사용 경험이 많을수록 폭력피해경험이 더 많았다. 일반청소년의 폭력피해경 험은 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 청소 년에 비해 건강위험 행위와 폭력피해에 더 취약하므로 다문화청소년의 올바른 건강행위 실천과 폭력피해 경험을 예방하기 위한 교육 프로그램이 필요하다.

본 연구는 국내 주요 일간지가 청소년 범죄를 어떠한 프레임으로 보도하는지, 그리 고 교정 차원에서의 어떤 의미를 가지는지 파악하고자 프레임 분석을 실시하였다. 프 레임 분석은 뉴스보도가 문제를 어떻게 규정하고 어떤 의미를 담아내는지를 밝히는 분석이다. 본 연구에서는 포털사이트 네이버에서 ‘청소년 범죄’라는 검색어를 사용하 여 2014년도부터 2020년도까지 최근 7년 동안의 기사를 추출하였다. 총 785개의 기 사를 기사 유형, 범죄 유형, 프레임 등을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째로 전체 기간의 공식 통계 상의 청소년 범죄 수는 감소하고 있으나 기사 수는 증가하고 있었다. 둘째, 연도별로 기사 유형, 범죄 유형, 프레임에 차이가 있었다. 마지막으로 결론과 함의 및 교정 차원에서의 제언들을 제시하였다.

본고는 그동안 일반 문학의 하위 장르로 분류되어 이론적 탐색의 사각 지대에 놓여 있던 청소년 문학 의 개념을 이론적으로 정리하기 위한 것이다. 전 세계 청소년 문학이 일정한 교섭 속에서 영향 관계에 있다. 본고는 이 점에 주목하여 각국 청소년 문학에 대한 논의를 추려 한국 청소년 문학과 비교해 보았다. 독일 청소년 문학은 의도된 청소년 문학으로서 하위 장르의 틀을 갖추고 있다. 영미 청소년 문학은 사실주의적인 접근을 통하여 소수자 담론으로 논의되고 있으며, 일본은 YA문학이라고 하여 경계 허물기 단계에 이르렀다. 이를 통하여 본고는 한국 청소년 문학의 위상을 점검하고 방향성을 모색 하였다. 급성장 추세에 있는 한국 청소년 문학은 ‘청소년을 위하여’ 청소년 주체를 호명하고 ‘지금-여기’를 특화해야 한다. 청소년 문학이 아닌 것을 청소년 문학이라고 묶는 것이 아니라 청소년 문학의 개념과 범주를 본질에 맞게 구체화할 것을 주장하였다. 한국 청소년 문학은 문학적 모색기에 있다.

The purpose of this study was to define Korean adolescent girls' brassiere size demand features in order to improve the suitability of junior brassieres for adolescent girls. The subjects for the data collection were Korean teenage girls from age 13 to 17 (n=492). Their body size was collected by conducting anthropometric measurement. The results of this study show that not only the growth of height, but also the growth of the body length is almost finished at the age of 15. The brassiere cup size, which shows the breast growth directly, increased remarkably at age 13 to 14, and once again at age 17. The demand for brassiere band size 70 appeared generally high among all ages. The research also suggests that the band size 60 and over 85 is also needed among the teenage girls. In matters of the brassiere cup size, junior brassieres over B-cup size are also necessary for teenage girls with big breasts to support their heavy breast weight. These results imply that the junior brassiere companies should improve their brassiere size range to fit the teenage girls' breasts properly.

This study was performed to investigate the hand size growth of Korean adolescents boys. Subjects were between 14 and 19 years (n=352). We collected the right hand size data of 19 measurements from each subject using 3D hand scanner. The total 26 hand measurements were analyzed including seven calculated measurements. Subjects were divided into three age groups (early, middle and late). Their hand size were compared. The results showed that all hand length measurements were significantly difference among age groups. Adolescent boys hands were sharply grown at age 16 years old. The hand dimensions of middle age group were compared with twenties men (n=215). There were significant differences between two groups. The middle age adolescents' hands were shorter and thicker than twenties men. Subjects were also divided by weight and height. Weight and height was closely related to hand size. The heavier and taller subjects had the thicker hand. Their fingers were longer than others. The adolescent boys and twenties men who were taller than the twenties' average height (173.4cm) were compared. Twenties men's hands were longer and thinner than that of adolescent boys. These results imply that the male adolescent hands grow short and thick in the adolescent period. Fingers continuously grow up as a long and thin shape after adolescent period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of brassiere size and wearing habits of Korean adolescent girls. Subjects were 13 to 17 years old girls (n=282). The data was collected by anthropometric survey and qualitative questionnaire survey. Anthropometric survey measured bust and under bust girths; Qualitative questionnaire survey focused on the practice of purchasing and wearing of brassiere. Two general conclusions emerged: 1) Majority of Korean adolescent girls wore a smaller sized cup than their breast volume 2) Korean adolescent girls wore a larger sized band. These results show the need of educating Korean adolescent girls for their appropriate brassiere size and fit. The value of the brassiere that Korean adolescent girls place differed by age. While the younger adolescent girls expected their brassiere to prevent showing the breast vibration, the older adolescent girls expected their brassiere to avoid breast sagging. The older aged adolescents more valued the fit and style of the brassiere compared to the younger aged group when they purchase brassiere. The younger adolescent girls were more likely to be dissatisfied with the fit of the cup. These results reveal that the junior brassiere should be designed to fit adolescent girls' breast shape and size.

This study aims to study factors affecting level of Korean language proficiency for North Korean Refugee Adolescents dwelling in Korea. 30 North Korean Refugee Adolescents were asked to answer three different questionnaires designated to investigate Korean language proficiency, Acculturative Stress and demographic background. This study adopts altered TOPIK for the evaluation of Korean language proficiency, and focuses on finding out the relationship of Korean language proficiency with sexuality, age, years of Korean study, and duration of dwelling in China. The SPSS for windows 15 was used for the statistical analysis. Acculturative Stress Scale was measured with the ASIS that was developed by Sandhuand Asrabadi(1994) and Proficiency Test that was selected by TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korea) session 22, 23. Cronbach for Acculturative Stress Scale was 0.898. Internal consistency reliability for Korean proficiency test was 0.897. The result shows that learning methods(Korean friends or books), duration of stay in China, Korean use, learning period, age, and gender have significant relationship with level of Korean proficiency, especially periods living in China has more significant relationship with the proficiency. The result from this study helps to recognize factors affecting level of Korean language proficiency. Specifically, the Korean proficiency of North Korean Refugee Adolescents who live in Korea has a close relationship with Acculturative Stress Scale. These facts indicate that not only the Korean education are required to effectively increase the Korean education itself, but also developing the competency of Cultural Acculturation are needed to be followed up as well for North Korean Mission.

목적: 본 연구는 한국과 캐나다 청소년기 근시안의 생활패턴을 비교, 분석하였다. 방법: 경기도 중·고등학교에 재학 중인 근시안 332명과 캐나다 Ontario 주 Toronto 시 중·고등학교 재학 중인 근시안 288명을 대상으로 굴절검사를 실시하였다. 굴절검사는 한국의 굴절검사 항목을 기준으로 하여 캐나다 굴절검사 항목 가운데 한국과 동일한 항목을 검사 결과로 선택하였다. 생활패턴에 관한 설문항목은 기존 선행연구에서 활용한 항목에 필요한 항목을 추가하였으며, 설문조사는 안경원을 방문한 학생들에게 직접 실시하였다. 결과: 평균 근시도는 한국 학생이 약 2.79D, 캐나다 학생이 약 2.89D로 캐나다 학생이 근시도가 약간 높았으나 통계학적으로는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 근거리 작업과 관련요인인 수업시간, 학원수업, 숙제시간, 게임시간은 캐나다 학생이 한국 학생보다 더 길었고, 게임시간(p=0.009)과 숙제시간(p=0.001)은 한국과 캐나다 간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 독서거리와 컴퓨터 주시거리는 캐나다 학생이 한국 학생보다 짧으나 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05).

The purpose of this study was to estimate the consumption prevalence of vitamin and mineral supplements as health functional foods (VM-HFF) and to examine the factors associated with VM-HFF consumption behaviors in adolescents. A total of 1,407 adolescents attending middle or high schools from various cities and rural communities in Korea participated in this study. The prevalence of VM-HFF consumption was 41.7%, with boys showing a higher consumption than girls (p<0.01). VM-HFF consumption was higher in families with higher socioeconomic status and for families with parents that exhibited higher concerns about their child's health, growth, and nutritional intake (p<0.001). Most consumers of VM-HFF consumed HFFs 'when healthy' (50.1%), and acquired nutritional information from 'their families & relatives' (50.9%). Most consumers responded that VM-HFF was 'a little effective' (54.3%), followed by 'no obvious effects' (37.1%), and 'very effective' (7.4%). The effectiveness of consuming VM-HFF was mainly for 'fatigue recovery' (39.0%) and 'health improvement' (28.2%). Most consumers purchased HFFs at 'pharmacies & oriental medicine clinics' (53.8%) and at 'health functional food stores' (18.8%). Most consumers 'occasionally' (51.1%) or 'seldom' (27.3%) checked nutrition facts when purchasing, with 58.9% of consumers understanding the nutritional label for 'the most part', but only 8.7% of them understanding it 'very well'. Among the VM-HFF, consumers preferred calcium- and vitamin C-supplements. Consumers' mini-dietary assessment scores were higher than those of non-consumers. The results above showed that VM-HFF consumption was widely spread among adolescents, but few consumers checked and understood the nutrition label when they purchased VM-HFF, and were highly dependent on the advice and information from non-professional nutritionists, such as families & relatives. Therefore, it is necessary to educate adolescents to help them read nutrition labels and select the proper VM-HFF.

This study was performed to investigate the eating habit, body image, and weight control behavior by BMI in Korean female high school students. Data on the 16, 574 subjects was obtained from the sixth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2010). Only 52.2% of the subjects had regular breakfast. The rate of skipping breakfast was higher in the underweight group than in the obese group, but the rate of skipping dinner was on the contrary to this. Underweight students had a higher intake frequency of fruits, fast food, instant noodle, and snacks than the obese groups. 3.5% of underweight students considered themselves to be overweight or obese. 53.4% of obese students considered themselves to be overweight. The experience of weight control increased according to BMI, but underweight students considered weight control as an effort to be slimmer. Meal restriction was used more frequently to control weight. The perceived stress level was higher in obese student, especially due to appearance. Therefore, an appropriate, integrated and personalized high school nutrition program should be established for proper body image perception and to develop the self-esteem of female high school students.

This study is to analyze the examples of the modified Youth policy and work in the developed countries (Japan, England and Finland) after 2000 from the point of four parts; Promoting System of Youth Policy, the Categories of Youth, the Goal of Youth policy and work aim. This study also suggest a developing plan for Youth Policy and Work of Korea. In the case of Japan in 2003, the government rearranged the Youth age less than 30-year-old, and it has two main goals of policy; supporting independence and special supporting for the handicapped youth. Ministry of Education Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology has pushed youth experiential activities connected with school education. Also Cabinet Office has focused on supporting independence, youth safety, and international exchange. The government of England announced 'The Children's Plan' in December 2007, and arranged the comprehensive countermeasure to make the welfare state for children. It also changed the Promoting System of Youth Policy and has encouraged the total policy connected with kid, school, and family in the new Department for Children, School and Family. The government of Finland reformed from the Youth Work Act to Youth Act in 2006, and defined the age of Youth less than 29. Also, it made the Youth Policy Development Programme for 5 years and has encouraged mainly supporting independence of youth growth. For advanced Korea society, Youth policy and work has to remake a plan based on sustainable Holistic Flexibility and Stability of Youth Policy and Work. The government will have to make a goal with preparing a basic capacity of life and constructing a safety network. To achieve the above things, first, it should make the total service of education, welfare and health from birth to youth who can become independence. Secondly, it should build the total service system for user. Thirdly, it should make a national standards, and need to propel them systematically.
