“…Additionally, adolescents are still immature in regard to taking responsibility for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy that may occur after a sexual experience [ 20 ]. Adolescents’ sexual experience starts from curiosity and tends to occur simultaneously with drinking and smoking [ 21 ]. That is, it is related to the problem behavior of adolescents.…”

Since an increasing number of multicultural adolescents have started smoking in Korean society, it is necessary to check the smoking status among multicultural adolescents and provide differentiated smoking cessation education and awareness through intervention programs. This study examined the factors that influenced smoking among multicultural adolescents and identified interventions. This study was a cross-sectional survey. It used raw data from the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBS) of 2019. Of the 57,303 participants in the 15th KYRBS, 749 were multicultural adolescents, i.e., their fathers or mothers were not born in Korea. The factors affecting smoking among multicultural adolescents were determined using a composite sample multiple logistic regression analysis. The results of the composite sample multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that 41 (6.4%) participants were smokers, had low academic performance levels, drank alcohol, were sexually active, and were more likely to smoke with other adolescents. They were 15.79 times more likely to smoke while drinking than when not drinking. Educational and psychological interventions are needed to increase multicultural youth school adaptation and academic performance levels, reduce health risk behaviors (drinking and sexually active), and ultimately, lower the smoking rate.

“…This trend is worrying, given the increased risk of neurological impact (Brown, Tapert, Granholm, & Delis, ) and future alcohol dependence (Hawkins, Catalano, & Miller, ) that younger consumption predicts. Specific risk factors for adolescent substance abuse in Korea include being male, poor performance in school, and lower socioeconomic status (Park & Jeon, ), and there is evidence that peer groups play an influential role in alcohol consumption (Nakashima & Wong, ). Korean adolescents have reported that reduction of depression, anger, and anxiety were the primary reasons they drank (Park & Jeon, ).…”

Korean adolescents have reported that reduction of depression, anger, and anxiety were the primary reasons they drank (Park & Jeon, ). Teenage alcohol use is a top risk factor for later suicide ideation and attempts, which is particularly notable considering the 40.7% increase in adolescent suicide mortality that occurred between 2000 and 2006, according to the Korean National Statistical Office (Kim & Kim, ).…”

A comparative evaluation of Korean MMPI‐A and MMPI‐A‐RF Substance Abuse Scales

Objective The purpose of the present study was to compare psychometric properties of the Substance Abuse (SUB) Scale on the Korean Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–Adolescent‐Restructured Form (MMPI‐A‐RF) with those on the Korean MMPI‐A (the Alcohol/Drug Problem Acknowledgment Scale [ACK]), the Alcohol/Drug Problem Proneness Scale [PRO], and the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale‐Revised Scale [MAC‐R]). Method Participants consisted of 237 Korean adolescent psychiatric patients whose scores on these measures were compared in terms of internal consistency and predictive validity. Results Scores on SUB exhibited superior internal consistency to that of the MMPI‐A substance abuse scales. Further, scores on SUB predicted substance abuse more accurately than did the optimal combination of scores on the MMPI‐A substance abuse scales. Conclusion Results provide strong support for the use of the Korean MMPI‐A‐RF SUB scale when assessing substance abuse in Korean youth.

“…For example, obviously, social support was considered as one of the situational factors that impact on functional status (Lenz et al, 2014). A crosssectional study by Park and Shin (2017) found that social support was associated with ability to perform individual functioning among patients with liver cirrhosis such as preparing food, exercising regularly, and administering medication (r= 0.80, p<0.001). Youssef (2013) noted that social support was significantly associated with many dimensions of health-related quality of life including physical, psychological, social, and role functioning (r = 0.21, p= 0.0005) among persons with liver cirrhosis.…”

This cross-sectional correlation study aimed to develop and test a causal relationship among alcohol consumption, illness perception, social support, fatigue, and functional status among persons with liver cirrhosis. The hypothesized model was constructed based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms and the review of the literature. A stratified three-stage random sampling approach was utilized to recruit 400 persons with liver cirrhosis aged 40 years old and older who visited four hospitals from three regions of Thailand. Research instruments consisted of the demographic data form, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test Consumption, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Fatigue Severity Scale, and the Functional Status Questionnaire. Data were collected from May to August 2020. The developed model was verified via a structural equation modeling using SPSS and Mplus program. The study findings revealed that the hypothesized model fit the empirical data and explained 71.3% of the variance of functional status χ2 = 386.458, df = 172, (p =.061), χ2/df = 2.397, RMSEA = .056, CFI = .985, TLI = .981, SRMR = .048. Social support was the most the influential factor affecting functional status by having both positive direct and indirect effects on functional status through illness perception and alcohol consumption (β = .744, p<.001). In addition, illness perception had a negative both direct and indirect effects on functional status through fatigue (β = -.291, p<.001). Alcohol consumption had a negative direct and indirect effects on functional status through fatigue (β = -.231, p<.001). Fatigue had only a negative direct effect on functional status (β = -.218, p<.001). The findings indicated that social support, alcohol consumption, illness perception, and fatigue were important factors influencing functional status among persons with liver cirrhosis. Therefore, further nursing intervention should consider on enhancing social support, reducing alcohol consumption, promoting positive illness perception, and managing fatigue into account to maintain or enhance functional status among persons with liver cirrhosis.
