Abstract

This study was conducted to identify factors influencing the weight control behavior of college students. The subjects included college students in the C area, and data were collected through a self reported structured questionnaire from Dec 01 to 20 of 2015. Overall, 289 subjects were analyzed. Analyses consisted of descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. The findings showed a prominent distortion of college students' perceptions of their bodies based on evaluation by others and obesity stress, which had special impacts on their weight control behavior. Weight control behavior, body self-awareness (r=.31, p<0.001), assessment of body by others (r=.30, p<0.001), and obesity stress (r=.43, p<0.001) were closely related to their weight control behavior. Stepwise multiple regression revealed that their weight control behavior was closely influenced by obesity stress (${\beta}=.37$, p<0.001) and assessment of body by others (${\beta}=.15$, p=0.009). These variables accounted for 20% of the weight control behavior (F=37.30, p<0.001). Overall, assessment of body by others and obesity stress were found to be predictors of their weight control behavior. These findings indicate that it is necessary to develop and implement information programs and design appropriate prevention programs that can induce healthy weight control behaviors. Such programs should include health education, as well as intervention programs to identify such predictors and help college students judge and perceive their body shapes objectively so that they control their weight in a proper manner.

본 연구는 대학생들의 체중조절행동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 C지역 대학에 재학 중인 대학생을 대상으로 자가보고식 설문조사로 시행되었다. 조사기간은 2015.12.01-12.20일 까지였고, 분석대상은 289명 이었다. 자료는 기술적 통계, t-tset, ANOVA, pearson correlation과 stepwise multiple regression으로 분석 하였다. 그 결과 대학생들은 자신의 체형에 대한 인식에 왜곡된 현상이 두드러지며, 특히 타인평가에 의한 체형인식과 비만스트레스, 체중조절경험이 체중조절행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 체중조절행동과의 상관관계에서는 본인체형인식(r=.31, p<.001), 타인평가체형(r=.30, p<.001), 비만스트레스(r=.43, p<.001)등이 체중조절행동과 관련성이 높게 나타났다. 다중회귀분석결과, 체중조절행동에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 비만스트레스(${\beta}=.37$, p<.001), 타인평가체형(${\beta}=.15$, p=.009)이 밀접하게 관련되는 영향요인임을 알 수 있었으며, 이 변수들의 설명력은 20% 인 것으로 나타났다(F=37.30, p<.001). 결론적으로, 대학생의 체형인식에서 타인평가체형, 비만스트레스가 체중조절행동관련 예측요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 예측요인 등을 파악하여 자신의 체형을 객관적으로 판단하여 인식할 수 있고 적절한 체중조절을 할 수 있는 정보제공, 식이와 운동을 격려하는 예방프로그램, 건강교육 및 중재 프로그램의 개발과 실시가 필요하다고 생각된다.
