Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the Safety-practice and Its Related Factors among Elementary students in rural area, to provide the basic data for prevention for safety accident occurrence in order to improve the QOL. Methods: The subjects of this study were 549 elementary students using self-report questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 12.0 Program. Results: The mean score for level of the safety awareness was 3.55(${\pm}.36$) and of the safety practice, 2.98(${\pm}.48$). The score of Safety-practice was statistically significant difference according to students' gender(p= .028) and students' grade(p= .004), the number of friends(p= .002), the level of school life adaptation(p= .000), recognized learning proficiency(p= .000), personality(p= .005), curiosity(p= .003), the level of demand for safety education(p= .000), the level of safety-education conducted by parents(p= .000), the level of safety-education conducted by teacher(p= .000). Stepwise multiple regression analysis for Safety-practice revealed that the most powerful predictor was level of Safety-awareness and self-esteem, the level of safety-education conducted by parents explained 28.8% of the variance. Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to develop safety practice promotion program in order to enhance the quality of life of elementary students. Future studies need to be pursued to find various variances.
본 연구는 초등학생의 안전실천수준과 안전실천 관련요인을 파악하여 초등학생의 안전사고 예방을 위한 프로그램개발에 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 시도되었다. 대상자는 549명으로 자가설문지를 이용하였다. 자료분석은 기술적 통계, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Stepwise multiple regression을 SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 안전의식 수준은 3.55점과 안전실천 수준은 2.98점이었으며. 안전실천 수준은 초등학생의 성별, 학년, 친구수, 학교생활적응정도, 학업수준, 성격, 호기심, 안전교육필요성 인식정도, 부모의 안전교육실시 정도, 학교안전교육실시 정도에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 안전실천정도에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 안전의식 수준이 가장 높은 설명력을 나타냈으며, 자아존중감, 부모의 안전교육실시정도가 안전실천 수준을 설명하는 유의한 변수로 모두 28.8%의 설명력을 나타내었다. 안전실천수준에 영향을 미치는 다른 변인을 앞으로 더 규명해야 할 필요가 있다.
