The purpose of the study is to identify the relationships between allergic disease, suicidal ideation, and plans among Korean adolescents. Additionally, we examined the mediating role of short sleep duration. We analyzed nationally representative cross-sectional data from the 12th to 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey; the final sample included 164,725 middle school–aged and high school–aged adolescents (mean age = 15.17 years, standard deviation = .13; 51.1% male). Allergic disease was a statistically significant risk factor for suicidal ideation (crude odds ratio [COR] = 1.284, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.246, 1.323]) and suicide plans (COR = 1.165, 95% CI = [1.108, 1.224]). Short sleep duration was a statistically significant mediator ( p < .001). We advised school nurses to assess warning signs of poor sleep—including irritability, depression, sleep problems, poor concentration, and poor academic achievement—and that programs be created to improve sleep and mental health in adolescents with allergic disease.

Abstract. Background: A significant number of Korean adolescents have suicidal ideations and it is more prevalent among adolescents than any other age group in Korea. Aims: This study was conducted to attain a better understanding of the contributing factors to suicidal ideation among Korean adolescents. Method: We recruited 569 high school students in Grades 10 and 11 in Pyeongtaek, Korea. The Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation was used to measure suicidal ideation as the outcome variable. The Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, the School Related Stress Scale, the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, and the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance questions were used to measure thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, hopelessness, school-related stress, bullying, and previous suicidal behaviors, respectively. Data analyses included descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling. Results: The findings suggest that perceived burdensomeness, hopelessness, school-related stress, and previous suicidal behaviors have significant direct effects on suicidal ideation. Hopelessness fully mediated the relation between thwarted belongingness and suicidal ideation, and partially mediated between perceived burdensomeness, school-related stress, and suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These findings provide more specific directions for a multidimensional suicide prevention program in order to be successful in reducing suicide rates among Korean adolescents.

Antecedentes. En este estudio se investigo la relación entre la duración del sueño y el desempeño escolar en adolescentes coreanos. Métodos. En 2012, 63 688 adolescentes participaron en el octavo proyecto de Estudio de Conducta de Riesgo Juvenil Basado en la Red (KYRBWS-VIII, por sus siglas en ingles). La relación entre la duración del sueño y el desempeño escolar se evalúo mediante un análisis de regresión logística multivariada tras ajustar para las variables covariadas, incluyendo índice de masa corporal, edad, nivel educativo de los padres, posición económica, estrés mental, consumo de tabaco, consumo de alcohol, patrones en el desayuno y tres mediciones de actividad física. Resultados. En el caso de los chicos, pero no así en el de las chicas, de cinco a seis horas de sueño por noche se relacionaron con un desempeño académico promedio o mejor que el promedio (R.M.: 1.094, 95% CI [1.011-1.182], p=0.025) en comparación con = cuatro horas/noche. Tanto para los chicos como para las chicas, nueve o mas horas/noche se relacionaron de forma negativa con el desempeño académico (chicos: 0.657 [0.554-0.779; p<0.001]; chicas =9 horas/noche, 0.664 [0.572-0.771], p<0.001) en comparación con =4 horas/noche. Conclusión. Para los chicos, de cinco a seis horas de sueño son necesarias para mantener un desempeño escolar promedio o mejor que el promedio, en tanto que nueve o más horas son perjudiciales para el desempeño escolar de tanto los chicos como las chicas. Otras variables del sueño, como la calidad del sueño y la somnolencia, deben investigarse para obtener una mejor comprensión de estos resultados.
