Abstract

This study investigated the association between breakfast frequency (0~2 times, 3~6 times, and 7 times per week) and awareness of general school life (physical activity, relationships with teachers and friends, rule compliance, study attitudes, study records, and overall school life) in high school students (boys 146 and girls 155) in the Yongin region. Awareness of physical activity was higher in girls (77.4%) than in boys (65.1%). Rule compliance showed a significant difference in girls (P<0.01), whereas boys did not show any difference. Percentage of 'effective' awareness of study attitudes was 24.0% and 44.5% in boys and girls, respectively. Awareness of study records in girls showed significant difference (0~2 times 37.5%, 3~6 times 30.4%, and 7 times 52.2%) (P<0.05), whereas boys did not show any difference. Awareness of overall school life showed a significant difference in both boys (P<0.05) and girls (P<0.01). Association between breakfast frequency and general school life in boys was as follows: awareness of overall school life had the highest positive value (+0.185) (P<0.05) and relationships with teachers had the second (+0.168) (P<0.05). Girls also showed the highest positive value (+0.323) (P<0.01) for awareness of overall school life, which occurred in the following order: rule compliance (+0.316) (P<0.01)> awareness of study attitudes (+0.267) (P<0.01)> relationships with friends (+0.215) (P<0.01). In conclusion, high school students showed a high positive association between breakfast frequency and general school life, particularly in girls. Therefore, effective nutrition education programs in connection with national policy and school support are highly required to provide healthy breakfast and school life to high school students.

용인시에 위치한 고등학교에 재학 중인 남녀 고등학생 301명을 대상으로 아침식사의 섭취빈도(주당 0~2회, 3~6회 및 7회)와 전반적인 학교생활(신체활동, 교사 및 교우관계, 규칙준수, 학습태도, 학업성적, 전반적인 학교생활)과의 관련성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 아침식사 섭취빈도에 따른 신체활동 영향에 대한 인식도는 남학생(65.1%)에 비해 여학생(77.4%)이 높았다. 아침식사 섭취빈도에 따른 규칙준수에의 영향 인식도는 여학생이 유의적인 차이를 보인 반면(P<0.01), 남학생은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 학습태도에 대한 인식도는 '영향을 준다'고 응답한 비율이 남학생과 여학생에서 24.0%와 44.5%로 각각 나타났다. 아침식사 섭취빈도에 따른 학업성적에 대한 인식도는 여학생의 경우 유의적인 차이를 보인 반면(0~2회 섭취군 37.5%, 3~6회 섭취군 30.4%, 7회 섭취군 52.2%)(P<0.05), 남학생은 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 전반적인 학교생활에 대한 인식도는 남학생(P<0.05)과 여학생(P<0.01) 모두에서 아침식사 섭취빈도에 따라 유의적인 차이를 나타냈다. 아침식사 섭취빈도와 전반적인 학교생활 간의 상관분석에서 남학생은 아침식사 섭취빈도가 높을수록 전반적인 학교생활에 대한 인식도(+0.185)(P<0.05)가 가장 높았으며, 교사관계(+0.168)(P<0.05), 학습태도 연관성 인식도(+0.116), 교우관계(+0.049), 학업성적(+0.029) 순으로 나타났다. 반면 여학생은 아침식사 섭취빈도가 높을수록 전반적인 학교생활에 대한 인식도(+0.323)(P<0.01)가 가장 높았으며, 규칙 준수(+0.316)(P<0.01), 학습태도 연관성 인식도(+0.267)(P<0.01), 교우관계(+0.215)(P<0.01), 학업성적 연관성 인식도(+0.152), 교사관계(+0.112), 학습태도(+0.118), 학업성적(+0.065) 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 고등학생의 아침결식은 학교생활에서의 신체활동을 비롯하여 학습태도, 학업성적, 교사 및 교우관계 등의 전반적인 학교생활과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으므로 아침결식 해결을 위한 국가차원의 아침급식프로그램의 개발 및 학생 및 부모를 대상으로 한 적극적이고 효율적인 영양교육의 실시가 요구된다.
