Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of subjective health conditions caused by COVID-19 in adolescents on anxiety and to verify the mediating effects of stress and hand washing. To this end, data from the 17th Youth Health Behavior Survey in 2021 were used, and data from a total of 54,848 teenagers attending the first grade of middle school to the third grade of high school were analyzed. Data analysis was correlated with descriptive statistical analysis with SPSS 26.0, and mediated effect analysis was conducted using Process Macro 4.0. As a result of verifying the mediating effect of stress and hand washing in the relationship between adolescents' subjective health status and anxiety, subjective health status had a significant effect on anxiety, and stress and hand washing also had a significant mediating effect on anxiety. Based on this, it should contribute to the development of programs on hand washing, stress management, and anxiety intervention according to subjective health conditions.
