Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate factors affecting the somatizationof 4th grade elementary school students in South Korea.
Methods: The research used cross-sectional data of 2,031 first grade elementary school students that participated in 4th-year Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). Data analysis, which included descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression,was performed using SPSS/WIN 23.0.
Results: Aggression (r=0.60, p<.001) and depression (r=0.69, p<.001) showed significant positive correlation, while affection (r=-0.22, p<.001), reasonable explanation (r=-0.28, p<.001), peer relationship (r=-0.06, p=.001), and teacher relationship (r=-0.20, p<.001) were negatively correlated with somatization of elementary school students. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that depression (β=0.52, t=25.52, p<.001), aggression (β=0.27, t=13.30, p<.001), reasonable explanation (β=0.05, t=2.99, p=.002), and affection (β=0.04, t=2.13, p=.031) were significant predictors of somatization. This regression model has an explanatory power of 52.8%.
Conclusion: To reduce somatization, it is necessary to develop a therapeutic intervention to change student emotions into a positive coping mechanism and strategy. The results of this study will contribute to the development of programs and practices for healthy school life.
