Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare dietary habits, perception, and consumption frequency of fast foods between part-time working youths at fast food restaurants and those at other food-related services. Methods: The study subjects were part-time working youths in 13 fast food restaurants (n = 118) and in 25 other places including bakeries, cafes, convenience stores, and other restaurants (n = 115) in Cheongju. Demographic characteristics, dietary habits, perception regarding fast foods, and consumption frequencies of food groups and fast foods were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Female youths working at fast food restaurants had unhealthier dietary habits, such as meal skipping and night snacking compared to those working at other places. Consumption frequencies of fruits in males and beans/bean products in females working at fast food restaurants were significantly lower than those working at other places. Perception score on fast foods was significantly lower in males working at fast food restaurants than in males working at other places. However, the consumption frequencies of hamburgers, pizzas, and a total of six fast foods among both males and females working at fast food restaurants were significantly higher than those working at other places after adjusting for confounding variables including age, status, type of residence, allowance, alcohol, smoking, working hours, and hourly pay. Conclusion: Part-time working youths at fast food restaurants had worse dietary habits, such as meal skipping and night snacking, and consumed fast foods more frequently than those working at other places. Interventions for part-time working youths at fast food restaurants may be needed in order to reduce fast food consumption and increase the intake of fruits and vegetables.

본 연구에서는 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생 118명과 패스트푸드점 외의 음식 관련 서비스업에서 일하는 아르바이트생 115명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 식습관과 패스트푸드에 대한 인식 및 패스트푸드 섭취 빈도 등을 비교하여 두 집단 간에 차이가 있는지를 남녀별로 나누어 파악하고자 하였다. 남자의 경우 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생과 그 외 아르바이트생에 있어서 연령, 신분, 주거형태, 용돈, 음주, 흡연, 일하는 시간 및 시급에는 차이가 없었으며, 음주횟수에 차이가 있었다. 여자의 경우 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생은 그 외 아르바이트생에 비해 20세 이상의 대학생이 더 많았고, 6시간 이상으로 일하는 학생이 많았으며, 시간당 급여가 더 높았다. 여자의 경우 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생이 그 외 아르바이트생에 비해 식사 횟수는 적고, 간식으로는 패스트푸드를 먹는다고 한 사람이 더 많았으며, 남녀 모두 야식을 더 자주 먹는 것으로 나타나 식습관이 더 나쁜 경향이 있었다. 또한 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생은 그 외 아르바이트생에 비해 남자의 경우 과일류의 섭취빈도, 여자의 경우 콩 및 콩제품의 섭취빈도가 유의적으로 낮았다. 또한 패스트푸드점 남자 아르바이트생은 패스트푸드의 장점에 대한 인식 점수가 더 낮았다. 패스트푸드점 아르바이트생은 남자의 경우 햄버거류, 피자류, 탄산음료, 여자의 경우 햄버거류, 감자튀김, 도넛, 탄산음료에서 그 외 아르바이트생보다 유의적으로 섭취빈도가 높았으며, 연령, 신분, 주거형태, 용돈, 음주, 흡연, 일하는 시간, 시급 등으로 보정한 후에는 남녀 모두 햄버거류, 피자류의 섭취빈도가 유의적으로 높았다. 총 섭취빈도도 패스트푸드 아르바이트생의 섭취빈도가 더 높았으며, 연령, 신분 등으로 보정한 후에도 여전히 유의적인 차이를 나타냈다. 이와 같이 패스트푸드점에서 일하는 아르바이트생은 그 외아르바이트생보다 식습관이 더 나쁘고, 패스트푸드를 더 자주 섭취하고 있었다. 따라서 패스트푸드 아르바이트생은 결식하지 않고, 다양한 식품을 충분히 섭취하도록 노력하는 등의 좋은 식습관을 갖도록 더 노력해야 할 것이며 이를 도울 수 있는 영양교육이 요구된다.
