영문 초록

Objectives：This study was aimed at examining the relationship between the stress in living situation and alcohol consumption. Subjects and Methods：239 adults living in Kangneung-shi were involved in this study by probability sampling process. We excluded subjects that report ‘absolutely not drink’ and then analyzed 131 subjects(84 males, 46 females) drinking alcohols. We assessed current stress perception from life events using the Korean version of Global Assessment of Recent Stress (GARS). And we checked the amount of alcohol consumed in a recent week of each subject. We conducted the correlation analysis between the items of the GARS and alcohol consumption. Results：The average amount of alcohol consumed by analyzed subjects in a week is 29.25±51.00 drinks. Subject in this study reported high stress level in financial item(2.91± 1.78) and wok/job/school item(2.85±1.76). Financial pressure and interpersonal relationship were correlated significantly with the alcohol consumption. Conclusions：Despite of indefinite causality, financial pressure and poor interpersonal relationship may be the high-risk stress factor in the beginning, maintenance and relapse of the alcohol problem. So we consider preventive intervention and active management for these stress factors.
