Objectives: This study was performed to find the association between smoking experiences and psychological factors such as depression and self-esteem in middle school students.
Methods: The data were collected by self -administered questionnaires from 1.995 students in 10 middle schools in a district of Gwangiu, and analysed using chi-square test, t-test and multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results: The rate of smoking experience was 29.6% for male and 14.5% for female students (p＜0.05). Students who had ever smoked were more depressed and lower self-esteem than those who did not smoke. After adjustment for the effect of potential covariates, those students who depressed were more likely to have smoking experiences (aOR=1.87, 95% CI=1.51~2.31), compared with who did not depressed. And those students in the highest 25% (4th quartile) of the self-esteem were less likely to have smoking experiences (aOR=0.61, 95% CI=0.38~0.87), compared with the lowest quartile group.
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that psychological factors were associated with student smoking. There is therefore a need for school-based smoking prevention programs, which deal comprehensively with socio-demographic factors, environmental factors and psychological factors that influence smoking.
