초록

본 연구는 어린이 기호식품에 대한 초등학생들의 인식과 섭취 실태/행동을 알아보고, 또 성별 및 학년과의 연관성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 일개 도시의 13개 초등학교 주변에서 무작위 추출된 초등학생 306명(남 188명, 여 118명)에 대하여 직접면담법에 의한 설문조사를 수행하였다. 전체적으로 20% 이상의 학생이 어린이 기호식품에 대한 지식이 없었으며 또 어린이 기호식품에 대한 정보원이 없었다. 또한 60% 이상의 학생이 1주일에 1~2회 이상 학교 주변 어린이 기호식품 판매업소를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 어린이 기호식품에 대한 정보 습득 경로로는 학교가 37%로 가장 많고, 다음으로 가정 16%이었다. 어린이 기호식품에 대한 의식 및 행동을 나타내는 요인들 중에서 지식과 정보 습득 경로는 성별과 유의한 연관성이 있었다(p < 0.05). 또 지식, 정보 습득 경로, 태도, 섭취 이유에 있어 학년과 유의한 연관성이 있었다(p < 0.05). 남자 어린이가 여자 어린이보다 지식 수준은 높았으나(p < 0.05), 태도는 낮고 또 섭취 빈도가 높았다. 학년이 높을수록 어린이 기호식품에 대한 지식과 태도 수준이 높아지고 다양한 정보 습득 경로를 가졌으나(p < 0.05), 또한 섭취 빈도가 높았다. 이러한 결과는 조사대상자의 지식과 태도/행동의 불일치를 나타낸다. 그러므로 학생들의 주요 정보 습득 경로인 학교급식 프로그램과 학교 및 가정에서의 식품위생/안전교육이 더욱 향상되어야 함을 나타낸다. 더불어 학교주변에서 불량식품에 대한 규제도 강화되어야 할 것이다.

This study was performed to investigate elementary school children's awareness on children's favorite foods and their consumption behavior of the foods. This study also focused on the association between the variables and gender/grade. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with direct interview among three hundreds and six elementary school children (188 boys and 118 girls) from 13 schools of a city of Korea, using a structured questionnaire. Among the overall proportion, more than 20% of the respondents did not know children's favorite foods and/or have no information source on the foods. More than 60% of the respondents consumed children's favorite foods more than 1 to 2 times a week. Only 16% respondents got information on children's favorite foods at home and 37% at school. There were significant correlations (p < 0.05) between gender/grades and knowledge/route of information on children's favorite foods. Boys had more knowledge than girls (p < 0.05), however they showed worse attitude on children's favorite foods and consumed more the foods. The higher grade children had more knowledge, better attitude and various routes of information on children's favorite foods (p < 0.05), but consumed more the foods. The results of this study indicate that there is a discrepancy between knowledge and attitude/behavior. This study also indicate that school food-service program and food hygiene/safety education in school and at home should be improved. Strong implementation of laws for regulation of selling adulterated food around elementary school may be another step in controlling consumption of the food by school children.
