주요내용

Adolescence is a vulnerable period for psychological distress. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the distributionof major stress-causing factors and their correlates in a large population of adolescents. A computerized self-reportquestionnaire was completed by 291,110 participating adolescents over a 4-year period using a cross-sectional study design.The questionnaire included items assessing demographic variables, major stressors, severity of perceived stress, and mentalhealth outcomes such as depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and attempts. Among the major stressors, schoolwork/careerwas the most predominant (54.7%). However, the odds ratios for depressed mood and suicidal ideation were the highest inthe stressor of conflict with peers (OR = 1.97 for depressed mood and OR = 2.00 for suicidal ideation), followed by familycircumstances (OR = 1.77 and 1.94 for depressed mood and suicidal ideation, respectively). Conversely, schoolwork/careerpresented significantly lower odds ratios of 0.87 and 0.87 for depressed mood and suicidal ideation, respectively. This studyprovides important information on psychological distress related to adolescents’ mental health. Although school/career wasthe most prevalent source of psychological stress, the odds ratios for negative health outcomes of adolescents were higher ininterpersonal problems such as conflicts with parents and peers and family circumstances. The present findings might helpparents and clinicians understand the psychological distress of adolescents and improve their mental health.
