Abstract

The purposes of this study were to evaluate food safety knowledge and to assess home food safety performance of home-delivered meal service recipients. Two facilities providing home-delivered meal services for older adults were located in Seoul. A total of 120 service recipients were surveyed using an individual interview technique and 97 responses were used for data analysis. A statistical data analysis was completed using SPSS program (ver.14) for descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation analysis. The majority of the participants were 70 years old or older and females. They perceived their health status as poor or very poor and took more than one kind of medicines. An average score of the food safety knowledge test was 11.48 based on 18 points (63.8%). The results revealed that the older adults knew the importance of hand washing but were not aware of when and how to wash hands. There was room to improve knowledge on cleaning and sanitizing fresh fruits and using wiping cloth. The knowledge score for each category was not significantly different by gender and age. The home food safety practices of the older adults was rated as 2.8 out of 4 points; the highest score was associated for proper food handling category and the lowest score was for cleaning and sanitizing. The worst performance was related to managing hand cuts and wounds (1.96). The total knowledge score and an average performance score were significantly correlated (p<0.01). Food safety education programs targeting the older adults who receive home-delivered meal services would improve the recipients' food safety knowledge and practices related to consumption of the meals at home. The programs should focus on not only improving food safety knowledge but also changing food safety practices.

본 연구의 목적은 가정배달 노인급식 수혜자의 위생지식수준과 가정에서의 위생관리 수행도를 조사하는 것으로 서울지역에서 가정배달 노인급식서비스를 제공하는 노인복지관과 종합사회복지관 2곳을 선정하고 수혜자를 무작위로 선정하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 총 120명을 선정하였고 조사에 참여한 97명의 응답을 자료 분석에 이용하였다. 응답자의 대부분은 여성이었고, 70세 이상이었으며, 초등학교 졸업이하의 학력을 보였다. 절반가량이 혼자 살고 있었고, 여러가지 만성질환으로 약을 복용하고 있었으며 스스로도 자신의 건강을 좋지 않게 인식하고 있었다. 위생지식 평가 결과 손 씻기의 필요성은 인식하고 있었으나 그 구체적인 방법에 대한 지식은 부족하였고, 가열처리 없이 섭취하는 과일의 세척, 소독 방법, 남은 음식의 보관 방법, 행주의 사용에 대한 지식수준이 낮게 나타났다. 배달급식을 받는 노인들의 가정 내에서 위생관리 수행도 평균 점수는 2.8점으로 높지 않았다. 남은 음식의 완전한 재가열, 유통기한 준수가 가장 잘 수행되고 있는 반면, 손 상처의 부적절한 처리, 행주와 도마의 관리, 달걀 등 오염도가 높은 식품 취급 후 손 씻기가 잘 수행되고 있지 않았다. 급식 수혜노인의 위생지식과 식품 취급습관은 일부를 제외하고는 일반 사항에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 위생지식 총점과 수행도 평균은 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였고(p<0.01), 세부 영역별로는 구분사용과 세척 및 소독 위생지식이 관련 수행도와 유의적인 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 독거노인과 노인가정이 증가하면서 가정에서 노인들의 식품취급은 증가할 것이고, 외부에서 조리된 음식을 가정에서 섭취할 경우에도 섭취 전까지 보관이 식품의 안전성 확보에 중요하므로 노인들을 대상으로 하는 위생교육 프로그램의 개발에 본 연구 결과가 이용될 수 있을 것이다. 보다 효과적인 위생교육 프로그램의 개발을 위해서는 위생교육을 통해 습득된 위생지식이 실생활에서 실천되는 과정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들에 대한 연구 역시 지속되어야 할 것이다.
