본 연구의 목적은 전문대학 간호과 여학생들의 피임지식과 태도를 살펴보고 이 변수들에 대한 영향요인을 규명하므로써 앞으로 건강교육자로 활동하게 될 간호과 학생들을 위한 좀더 체계적인 피임교육과정 개발에 도움이 되기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 충청도에 위치한 일개 전문대학 간호과 여학생 254명이었고 연구기간은 2011년 10월 17일부터 11월 11일까지였다. 대상자의 피임지식은 학년, 성적, 혼전성교 및 혼전동거에 대한 의견에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으며 포옹, 키스, 애무 경험 유무에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 피임태도는 가정에서의 피임교육 유무에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었고 포옹, 키스, 애무 경험 유무에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 피임지식과 태도 간에는 정 상관관계를 나타냈고 피임지식에 대한 영향요인으로는 학년, 혼전동거에 대한 의견, 성적, 애무경험이었으며 피임태도에 대한 영향요인은 포옹경험과 가정에서의 성교육 유무였다.
