미혼 의과대학생들에서 가족기능 역할과 성행동의 관련성

Abstract

[한글]

가족 내에서 부모와 자녀들 간에 대화가 많을수록 그 자녀들은 부모의 영향을 더 많이 받게 되며, 이는 성대화에 있어서도 마찬가지로 생각된다. 대학생들에서 가족 내에 성에 대한 대화가 많은 경우 성에 대한 대화가 적은 가족보다 그들의 부모와 유사한 성태도를 가진다고 한다. 또한 가족기능이 좋을수록 가족 간의 긍정적인 대화가 많으며 대화가 잘되는 가족일수록 유연한 가족 적응력을 보인다고 한다. 따라서 가족간 대화 (특히, 성에 대한 대화)와, 가족의 태도가 청소년 성행동에 영향을 주며 이는 가족기능지수의 정도에 따라, 가족의 적응력과 결속력에 따라 그 양상이 다르다고 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 Y 대학교 의과대학생 288명을 대상으로 가족기능지수와 가족 결속력및 적응력 척도에 따른 갱년기 대학생들의 성행동 (성지식, 성태도, 성경험)과의 관련성을 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 보수적 가정에서 부모와 성에 대한 대화가 있을경우 성

경험이 낮고 가족태도(가풍)가 개방적일수록 성태도가 자유스럽다. 둘째, 가족태도가 보수적일때 가족기능 지수가 높을수록 성태도가 보수적이며 성경험이 적은 경향이 있고, 가족태도가 개방적일때 가족기능 지수가 높을수록 성태도가 개방적이었으며 성경험이 많았

다. 셋째, 가족 결속력이 높을수록 성경험이 낮고 성태도가 보수적인 경향이 있었다. 넷째, 가족 적응력은 성행동에 영향을 미치지 않았으나 개방적 가풍에서만 가족 적응력이 높을수록 성경험이 많았다.

We examined 288 unmarried medical college students to assess the relationship

between family function and sexual behavior including sexual knowledge, attitude

and experience, using questionnaries of family APGAR score, FACES Ⅲ, amount of sex

communication held between parents and students, and family attitudes. The results

are as the following:

1. There were no statistically significant relationship between family APGAR

score and sexual behavior, but the sexual behavior and the APGAR score were related

when considering the family attitudes. In conservative families, the students

showed more conservative attitudes and less sexual expriences if they belonged to

healthy families with high family APGAR scores. If the family attitudes were

liberal and they have a higher APGAR score, they showed more liberal sexual

attitudes and also had more sexual experiences.

2. The sexual experiences and attitudes were not directly influenced by the

amount of sex communication held within the family. But, when considering the

family attitudes, they showed the relationship. In the conservative families, the

sexual behavior seemed more conservative if sex communications were held in the

families. In the families with liberal attitudes, the sexual behavior seems more

liberal if sex communications were held among family members.

3. The families with higher scores on family cohesion showed less sexual

experience and a more conservative sexual attitude.

4. The family adaptability and sexual behavior showed no relationship, but only

in liberal families, there existed more sexual experiences if they had higher

scores on family adaptability.
