Actual Condition of Periodic Visual Acuity Testing for Undergraduate Students

대학생의 정기적 시력검진 실태에 관한 연구

The actual condition of periodic visual acuity testing for 304 undergraduate students were investigated for the purpose of prepared some fundamental data on the development of the eye-health education program and conducting a practical application. Many undergraduate students (59.21%) had not been tested periodic visual acuity testing. The ratio of periodic visual acuity testing for female was higher than male. There was statistical significant difference dependence on the native place, the educational system, and the division of major. The ratio of periodic visual acuity testing for undergraduate students from city was 43.07%, from rural area was 24.32% (p<0.05). According to the educational system, the ratio of periodic visual acuity testing of university students was 65.71%, college students was 27.64% (p<0.001). The ratio of periodic visual acuity testing of undergraduate students who have corrected their visual acuity was 50.25%, while that of students who have not corrected was 23.36% (p<0.001).

대학생 304명을 대상으로 정기적 시력검진의 실태를 조사, 분석하여 안보건교육 프로그램의 개발 및 교육의 실시를 위한 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 연구대상의 59.21%가 정기적 시력검진을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 여학생의 정기적 시력검진률이 남학생보다 높게 나타났다. 도시출신의 정기적 시력검진률이 43.07%, 농 어촌출신이 24.32%로 유의한 차이를 보여주었으며(p<0.05) 4년제 대학생의 정기적 시력검진률이 65.71%, 2-3년제 대학생이 27.64%로 유의한 차이를 보여주었다(p<0.001). 시력을 교정한 대학생의 정기적 시력검진률이 50.25%, 시력을 교정하지 않는 대학생이 23.36%로 유의한 차이를 보여주었다(p<0.001).
