Abstract

The purpose of this assessment was to provide the basic data for setting up education in terms of 'Hand wash' as one of the health plan & education programs for adolescents. The task analyzed the behavior of students regarding hand washing, which were ranged from middle school to high school. The SPSS 18.0 statistical program, frequency-test and cross-analysis were used for data analysis by 2011, 2012 and 2013, which were the recent 3 years, the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey data. In the data, the response of "Never washed" from students before having a meal accounted for 29.4% in 2011, 30.5% in 2012 and 18.5% in 2013, respectively. Unlike other subjects, these facts suggest that this kind of behavior should be considered significant under the assessment. By tracking the trend over three years, some facts were confirmed in that students living in the metropolitan and medium-sized cities were less likely to wash their hands than students in small- sized towns. In terms of gender, female students were less likely to wash their hands than male students. Regarding the type of school, more students in the public middle & high schools had a tendency to respond "Never hand wash" than the students in the special-purpose high schools. Furthermore, as the grade was increased in middle school and high school, students were less likely to wash their hands before meals in school. Therefore, Health promotion and health education for students should be conducted more carefully with more emphasis on this point.

청소년의 건강증진을 위한 보건교육 프로그램 중 손씻기에 대한 교육을 기획하는데 있어 기초자료를 제공하고자 2011년, 2012년, 2013년의 청소년건강행태온라인조사 원시자료를 이용하여, 중학생 및 고등학생의 손 씻기 실천 행태를 분석하였다. 자료 분석은 조사에 참여한 표본이 우리나라 청소년의 대표성을 갖도록 지정된 가중치를 적용하였으며, 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도 분석 및 교차분석을 실시하였다. 우리나라 청소년의 손 씻기 실천 행태는 학교에서 식사하기 전 '전혀 씻지 않았다'로 응답한 학생수가 2011년도에 22,257명(29.4%), 2012년도 22,375명(30.5%), 2013년도 13.153(18.5%)명으로 다른 항목과 달리 계속적으로 주의깊게 관찰해야 하는 상태로 유지되었다. '학교에서 식사하기 전 전혀 씻지 않았다'는 항목에 대해 최근 3개년간의 추이를 확인한 결과 도시구분에서는 대도시와 중소도시가 군단위의 소도시 보다 유의하게 전혀 손을 씻지 않는 경향을 보였고, 학교유형에서는 여학교가 남녀 공학이나 남학교 보다 학교에서 식사 전 전혀 손을 씻지 않았다고 응답한 비율이 지난 3개년 간 계속해서 높은 경향을 보였다. 또한 학교구분에서는 중학교와 일반 고등학교가 특성화 고교보다, 성별에서는 여학생이 남학생보다, 학년 구분에서는 고학년으로 학년이 올라갈수록 '학교에서 식사 전 전혀 손을 씻지 않았다'고 응답한 학생이 유의하게 많은 것으로 나타났다. 이로써 손 씻기에 대한 학교 보건 교육 시 '식사 전 손 씻기'에 대한 교육을 특히 강조해야 하고, 학교에서 식사 전 '전혀 손을 씻지 않았다'고 응답한 비율이 높았던 인구학적 특성의 대상에 대해 보다 세심한 교육과 계속적인 관찰이 요구된다.
