대학생의 우울과 자아존중감이 마약에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향

초록

Objectives: This study aimed to identify depression, self-esteem, and attitude toward drugs in college students and examine the factors affecting atti- tude toward drugs. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A total of 267 college students across the country in Korea were analyzed. Data collection was conducted from online survey using DASS-21, self-esteem scale, and attitude toward drugs scale to quantify participants’ responses. Results: Our results revealed that self-esteem (β = 0.15, p = 0.011) and curiosity about drug (β = -0.20, p = 0.003) significantly influenced attitude toward drugs in college students, and explained 8% of attitude toward drugs in multiple regression analysis. However, depression had no significant effect on attitudes toward drugs. Conclusions: Developing and implementing appropriate self-esteem and curiosity coping programs are necessary to establish a critical attitude toward drugs among college students.
