Effects of Alcohol Consumption and Smoking Dual Use Experience on Culturally Diverse Adolescents’ Suicidal Behaviors: Using Date from the 15~17th Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey / 정신간호학회지

Purpose@#This study aims to investigate the relationship between smoking and alcohol consumption on the risk of suicide among culturally diverse adolescents. @*Methods@#This is a secondary data analysis study using data derived from the 15~17th (2019~2021) Youth Health Behavior Online Survey. Data from 2,922 culturally diverse adolescents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Rao-Scott x2 test, and hierarchical logistic regression. @*Results@#After controlling for demographic and individual, family, and social factors as compounding variables, the suicide attempt of culturally diverse adolescents with smoking and alcohol consumption dual use experience was a 1.91 odds ratio (95% CI: 1.02~3.55) compared to culturally diverse adolescents without smoking and alcohol consumption experiences. @*Conclusion@#Our study findings indicate a need to prevent suicide among culturally diverse adolescents with smoking and alcohol consumption experiences. Suicidal prevention programs would greatly benefit from the experiences from culturally diverse adolescents who are smoking and consuming alcohol to better their programs on decreasing suicide attempts.

The Relationship between Social Stigma and SNS Cyberbullying among Adolescents who Dropped out of School: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Impulsivity Moderated by Parental Attachment / 정신간호학회지

Purpose@#This study aims to analyze the mediation role that impulsivity plays between social stigma and SNS cyberbullying when moderated by parental attachment. @*Methods@#This study is a secondary analysis using the raw data from panel survey of adolescents who have dropped out of school provided by the Korea Youth Policy Research Institute, and the total number of samples is 576 cases. SPSS V.25 and PROCESS macro for SPSS V.3.5.2 were used for data analysis. @*Results@#In the relationship between social stigma and SNS cyberbullying behavior, impulsivity showed a statistically significant positive completely mediating effect. Parental attachment was found to control impulsivity as a parameter and SNS cyberbullying as a dependent variable, and thus the mediated moderating effect was verified. @*Conclusion@#Based on the results of this study, it was confirmed that parental attachment plays a role as a regulatory mechanism to lower impulsivity. More specifically, in controlling impulsivity caused by the social stigma of school-dropped adolescents, support based on parental attachment of parents is absolutely necessary.
